Posts from “Team MIRROR” Tournament – reports.

Bolivar (Dwarves, blue, Erling + Helmar + Inga) won against Noom (Necropolis, red, Lyuska), summer, around the middle of week 6 or 7, I don't remember exactly. Both had a gold bonus. From the start, Helmar, in the tavern, Inga appeared, and Lyuska showed up on the opponent's side, so I decided to play, it could have been worse. Two level 2 Warriors and one Elder. Helmar was immediately offered machines - I took them because I knew the opponent would come early. However, they didn't let Helmar build a structure with persistence. And when the last base offered a Logging Camp, I decided to take it because Helmar was no longer planned as the main hero - Erling appeared, who, starting from week 3, began to level up with three Dragons. At first, it was difficult with finances because I didn't build money-generating structures in the city, expecting Lyuska wouldn't come quickly, but gradually, when both heroes started earning, things improved. On week 4, Lyuska, level 19, jumped over the wall, ran for about 3 days to the city, and Helmar, level 20, managed to return home. The Necromancer didn't attack but started hanging around the city, destroying my Beetles. The Dwarf decided to attack - he was stronger in the tavern. And I didn't want to sit around. As a result, the Necromancer bought his way out, losing 20 Archliches, about 30 Ghosts, ~300 Skeletons, and about 10 Vampires. Helmar's losses were 3 Dragons, 2 Titans, about 25 Berserkers, and 20-30 Bears. After that, it became clear that Lyuska wouldn't come soon. I started looking for a Treasure with Erling. However, Helmar saw that Lyuska had found hers and was already clearing it. Inga learned runes in battles, and before the final, she was level 18. In the Treasure, I took the Utopia - they didn't let it resurrect, and it still provided regeneration. But without resurrection, it was scary to take the Shackles - the guards were inconvenient. In the Temple, they finally gave resurrection, and Erling wanted to take the Necromancer's Staff, but then Lyuska ran towards the city again with only Vampires. I had to go back for the Shackles, took them, gave them to Helmar, and also gave him some artifacts and all the Titans - Erling could clear the Treasure with only Elders. Helmar teleported home, upgraded everyone, Lyuska attacked the city and died. Helmar practically without losses. Thank you for the game.

Stefan (Necropolis, red, Zoltan, Kaspar) lost to Sithis (Dungeon, blue, Irbet), spider, 1-3-2

At the beginning, he developed Erin as the main hero, and by day 5, he leveled her up to level 8. However, realizing that Irbet was better (he didn't know about her advanced ability until he read the manual), he started leveling her up: chaos, ordeal, charms + regeneration, and almost 20 hydras from the castle and camps helped him fight through everything. On the 1st day, Stefan lost 150 skeletons and almost lost his hero as well, but he managed to escape. On the 3rd day, he received a message about losing on the Global Map.

Thank you for the game. Even though the battle didn't take place, I enjoyed the game – killing neutral creatures with the Dungeon faction is almost easier than with any other faction.

I confirm.
He had everything to break through the Global Map, but he just stood with vampires under two stacks, for some reason thinking they would hold out.
Thank you for the game.

Bolivar (dwarves, blue, Erling+Helmar+Inga) won against Noom (necro, red, Luska), last summer, around the middle of week 6 or 7, I don't remember exactly.
Both had gold bonus.

The necro's bonus was resources. We finished on 225 if I'm not mistaken (there were 8 lava dragons, you lost 3 on the first attempt). From the start, we got a log — that helped considerably despite the awful adjacent zones. I couldn't level up summoning for a long time, which delayed me significantly. After the first attempt, when I got caught by the full force of the dwarf's army, I had to retreat to the treasure zone and prolong the game. In the treasure zone, there was a moment when I could have turned around and attacked Helmar, who was chasing me, but I saw a Dragon Utopia and didn't have enough mana for the final spell — I decided to replenish mana in a Grove near the Dragon Utopia and take the Dragon Utopia afterwards. On the next turn, Helmar saw that the Temple had been taken and cast Town Portal home. On week 7, when I was looking for a secondary hero (never found one), I spawned close to the opponent's castle and decided to try a trick with the Tome of Chaos and also upgrade the vampires, but the opponent had Shackles of War.
Thanks for the game.

Sithis (red, Sylvan, Vinrael, Talanar) defeated KillAndAction (blue, Dungeon, Letos, Erin), Mask, 2-3-4

Kirill made many mistakes, which is why he had less troops, despite having a second-tier league hero. Vinrael, on the other hand, turned out to be a killing machine: no neutral creature could withstand him, and everything was taken without losses. Somewhere around 2-2-3, they met in the central zone with a gold mine. Fighting in the field against a combat elf is not an option, of course; a quick battle resulted in a victory for the elves. A week later, with reinforcements, he attacked the enemy's castle with the main hero, Letos: he used anti-magic on dragons. The dragons practically wiped out the entire army on their own.

Thank you for the game.

Thank you for the game.

Confirmed.
In the 3rd week, I made it to the secondary town, and it turned out to be my home town. But despite this, I lost. The intermediate terrain was sand, and the secondary town was snowy. Logu was given at level 11. Letos advanced almost without losses, and Erin only started leveling up in the 5th week because there were no worthy opponents. I lost twice on neutral creatures at the end of the 4th week when I was trying to get the golden town, placing a stack of hydras, which ultimately only hindered me. I lost all the furies, half of the elite units, and 16 hydras. After encountering the opponent's hero, I lost a few more; the plague was reluctant to affect the opponent's units. As a result, the battle took place in the town; the dragons were destroying everything with antimagic, and the fan didn't help much; the lack of meat was a factor, but if I had it, the plague would have wiped them all out.
In short, I lost in a winning situation.
Thanks for the game!

Noom (red, humans, Laslo, Dugal/Vitya) defeated Dwp (blue, demons, Nibros, Grol), 144, sun.

Restarted the first tavern of heroes (the annoying Ellaina came to the starting Laslo), the opponent restarted the second. We played without restarts - a hidden swordsman, Dugal in the tavern - and I went with him, as I didn't want to play swordsmen at all. I got regeneration on the third week and broke through to the opponent's gold mine, sent Vitya with manticores for reconnaissance, and I went to my second mine. There I found a mana doubling artifact, and then the opponent appeared in the gold mine. All his money was unspent, probably having money problems. I had to send Dugal home and prepare to meet him. The opponent kicked out Vitya, giving 30 dogs for it, took a crypt with a meat supply, and on the next turn, he bought Dugal back home. I had to go with Dugal to the enemy's respawn point (I didn't want to fight 100+ battle mages in MT without resurrection), but the next day I received a message about the surrender. Thanks for the game.

JonnyP (Humans, Laslo) defeated KillandAction (Demons, Grol), 147, Sun. The Demon came and got killed. Thanks for the game.

Stefan (Orcs, Lyuska, Kaspar, Zoltan) won against Killa (Dwarves, Brand), week 6.
They faced each other with a 2-1-7 setup. I watched with one eye. Brand performed as expected, even with Storm and Logo. But he didn't impress. In three turns, he didn't take a single Vampire. Erling or Ingvar, in my opinion, would have looked much better.
Kirill played for a couple more days and gave up.
Thanks for the game.
