We played for a long time and picked all the rest. Ended up getting a good deal; on turn 116 I take a risk and go into the Griffin Conservatory without scouting — 2 or 3 would have been manageable, but it turned out to be a max roll. Ended up losing; the plan was to deal maximum damage to the Conservatory, which I did (killed 110 griffins), but since I was in a hurry to leave, I mistakenly lost a mage with Earth magic. On turn 117 I kill an enemy Rampart player. On turn 121 I visit stables and finish off that Conservatory (+4 angels), losing 1 Psychic and a couple of Fairies. Then around turn 124 I break another max Conservatory and also a tier-2 Conservatory, ending up with 10 angels in my army by mid-second month. Then I spread out and farmed a bunch of Wives and an external dwelling of Phantoms. At the start of the third month, Dessa arrived and I switched to her. On turn 142 I entered the biggest treasure location; I have Wings. But the parameters there are strong, and I have a Cloak of Magic level 3. Some of my Loxes and 2 Daddies were killed, and they run toward the GG. At some point I regretted not equipping Shackles. Because I was attacked by a small army; I had 13 Phantoms, 70+ Wives, 7 Angels, 37 Water Elementals, 16 Psychics, 30 Air Elementals, 5 Devils (Attack, Defense, Mass Earth, and Mass Air). Their army had around 350 Skeletons, 7 Angels, 6 Wives, 4 Djinns, 12 Mages, and 150 Gremlins. But they shot me pretty well, and I bought them off. Then I went to clear the treasure location and the timing issues started again.
The victory came by save. There was full Control, and I only had Wings. But fortunately, in that same treasure location I would have gotten full Control too in 3-4 turns, but it would have been...
In any case, thanks for the game!

The game turned out to be very interesting and, as always, difficult! But I found a Dragon Utopia with КЗ and caught up to Vasily in tempo, just as my cities were starting to be taken back. Besides Gundulla, I had 2 other heroes with 3000mp who were based underground in a Castle that was unreachable. With them, I quickly seized the initiative and took back all the cities on the surface. There were 4 cities left, and they were being taken from the dungeon, which I couldn't quite reach at first, but then I captured it and used it to control the entire upper level. And exactly on 222, I can reach my captured Castle from there. In terms of stats, he was slightly higher, but the red orb and elixir did their job + an army advantage (9 Archs and 150 Monarchs); he also had an elixir, but it was dismantled in fb. And as for the army: 5 Archs and 80 Monarchs + 150+ group of demons.
Thanks for the game!

Played for a long time, picked all the rest. Ended up with a good lineup, at 116 I risk going into the Griffin Conservatory without checking, 2-3 would have been manageable but it turned out to be max. Ended up losing, the plan was to deal maximum damage to the conservatory, which I did (killed 110 griffins) but since I was in a hurry to leave, I mistakenly lost a mage with Earth magic. On 117 I kill the Rampart opponent. On 121 I visit the stables and finish off that conservatory (+4 angels) with the loss of 1 Psychic and a couple of fairies. Then around 124 I break another max conservatory and a low-tier conservatory as well, totaling 10 angels in the army by mid-week two. Then I spread out and gathered a bunch of Wights and an external dwelling of Phoenixes. At the start of week 3, Dessa arrived and I switched to her. On 142 I entered the biggest treasure area, have Wings. But its stats are strong and I have a Cloak of Magic 3rd tier. They killed my low-tier units and 2 dads and are running to the main hero. At some point I regretted not equipping the Shackles. Because I was attacked with a small army while I had 13 Phoenixes, 70+ Wights, 7 Angels, 37 Water Elementals, 16 Psychics, 30 Air Elementals, 5 Devils (Attack, Defense, Mass Earth and Mass Air). Their army had around 350 Skeletons, 7 Angels, 6 Wights, 4 Djinns, 12 Mages, and 150 Gremlins. But they shot me well. And they bought me off, then I went to clear the treasure area and the time pressure started again.
Victory came via save. There was full control while I only had Wings. But fortunately, in that treasure area I would have also achieved full control in 3-4 turns, but that would have been...
In any case, thanks for the game!

This was an unfinished game, my opponent did not understand my intention. I only asked to leave for an hour, but the opponent thought I surrendered, gave out the password, and I had to concede.
In fact, at this point the opponent's main hero is Dessa, with stronger troops than me, but only has Wings, no TP or DD, while I have all movement spells and much better artifacts, with Logistics hero + Boots + Gloves + Stable, so my mobility is also superior. Moreover, I have several heroes capable of using all movement spells, so I am definitely much faster in efficiency.
And the final situation was that the opponent took the entire army into the treasure area and couldn't return anytime soon. Then most cities, including the opponent's magic guild cities and main town, would quickly fall into my hands. As long as I knew the opponent had Shackles, I would be invincible, and my army would quickly gather, especially the number of Skeletons would increase rapidly. With my high stats, I would soon be able to match them.
But regardless, since I will be busy next week, letting the opponent advance to the next match is also my wish.
thank for playing

Everything was going well in the first game. In the middle of the second, I moved to the center, where I was caught and hit with an FB that left no chance — and I still pulled through... Then I was in a three-way, and there was a capture of all respawns. Again, it seemed all was lost, but I made the final move that won the match.
Won due to an opponent's mistake; otherwise, there was almost no chance here.
Thanks for the game!

Everything was good at the beginning, in the middle of the second turn, I moved to the center, and then I was caught and faced a formidable opponent, against whom I had no chance – I was dragged in... After that, I was in the treasure room, and there was a capture of all the respawn points. And again, it seemed that everything was already lost, but I made a final move that allowed me to win the game.
I won due to my opponent's mistake; otherwise, I would have had almost no chance here.
Thank you for the game!

I'm lucky in this tournament, nothing to say (just don't want to jinx it :)). Got a red castle for 1600+800, so with the bonus they basically paid me 600. Started off inconsistently — the first few days I thought about taking a rest every turn, considering that my opponent stubbornly wasn't taking one. Second Müllich and on the respawn 3 hives with simple guards. But the starting army of 15 archers with buyout — if even one of the crypts had been taken by scout heroes, max, I'd have been left with no army at all. However, by 114 all questions were resolved; the tavern was graced by a pint of dark unfiltered by the famous former Norwegian goal scorer Ole "Gunnar" Solskjær. Until the end of the week I just collected resources to the max, building horses at the Citadel. 117 Gunnar in an external tavern near one of the hives. All hives turn out to be mini, which is sad. On the exit from the Griffin Conservatory respawn — also mini, starting to get annoying. Deep in the respawn (about 3 turns from stables) there was another Conservatory and boots guarded by a general stack of 5-9 bone dragons, but I never got around to them by the end of the game. 123 I took the enemy Conflux, started building a mage guild there, temporarily ignoring angels. Took both central villages. 125 broke into the treasure zone, found another couple of hives, a library, a Dragon Utopia. I planned to take that Utopia with growth at 131. Didn't want to go in with just 1 angel, 4 champions (1 was killed somewhere), and 26 ducks without tanking. But at 126, Deesa appears in the center and takes both central villages (1 turn apart via scout hero teleports). I readjust to cover Deesa, but my scout hero falls 1 step short on the road to the village where I wanted to buy back the defeated Gunnar. I have to have Gunnar spend the night in a teleport. The chains are a bit crooked; I absolutely needed to finish collecting resources, and at 131 Gunnar doesn't make it to the Utopia near the central village. He spends the night there, nervously watching to see if the Utopia (which ultimately decided the game) gets snatched from under his nose. It wasn't taken. 132 I enter the Utopia and realize that Deesa, with his army and without combat stats, even with resurrection, would have been crushed here. Max. My combat stats were around 11-12, Mass Shield, Mass Stone Skin. Angel, 27 Wyverns, 8 champions, plenty of various tanks. Quick combat showed a loss without killing a single black (sorry, afro-dragon!). My magic and a timely lucky morale did the job; I came out with an angel and 25 wyverns. Gave me a truly royal reward: +12 sword, +12 shield, +4+4 chest, КЗ. I return to Conflux, where in the 5th Mage Guild the Summon Earth Elemental had become unnecessary. I track the blues' movements through scouts. 133 I take the Utopia in the treasure zone, getting Wings, a Sack of Gold, and Boots of Resistance; I build an angel (so my scout hero on it with stables can reach a distant hive). 134 I rebuild the mage guild, get Dimension Door, and make what seemed like a fatal mistake. I hadn't seen Vitaly's air control before that moment, and there it was. He took both villages from me again, and Gunnar is literally sitting in Conflux on the angel with all the artifacts. I gave the wyverns to a scout hero to pick up various nagashards on the Conflux respawn... And I didn't even bribe. But I got lucky — Vitaly went after another Utopia, which gave him trash. On my turn, I cover him with vastly superior stats, kill a lot, lose almost nothing, and he sues for peace. Then Gunnar took the capital, then via 2 Dimension Doors with bog-ridden wyverns (one of the villages was a swamp) I covered Deesa in the enemy Inferno. Thanks for the game!
