Thank you for the game!

Sold the Crystal for 1100, fully resurrected, it went so-so, Griffin Conservatory far on the respawn, Dwarf Cottage there too, broke through to the computer, meanwhile repelling +4 Attack for the Cerberi, Luck of the Dove for the Gnolls. The computer had 3 Crypts, a Dwarf Cottage and a Dragon Fly Hive, which blocks the passage to it, collected the Crypts, returned the second army to the start, captured home +1 All and took the Medusa Sefinroth. Returned back, captured the Hive, took over the computer and bought the Book of Pyre on 121. Next turn Stables, the computer killed itself on its turn. Went into the revealed Dwarf Cottage, and it was max, lucky it didn't have a Guard Captain or it would have wrecked me harder. Sent the loot home, under the Dwarf Cottage, also max:eek: even the scout hero with +8 troops got wrecked harder, lost the Efreet, the scout hero got Air Magic, watched the replay. Checked the Griffin Conservatory at home, it was level 2, and Portals nearby for Water Elementals. Built a Mage Guild level 4 at home, it gave Town Portal immediately. Saw the opponent, not far from the exit of my and the computer's respawns. Chased his scout hero, he chased mine. Leveled Sefinroth with Earth Magic, used her to take the Medusa and the Cloak of Abdication, advanced Earth Magic for Town Portal and positioned Pyre on the grind to break into the opponent, since there were no more objects, and Kyrre was running around without troops and Angels (although the reveal showed there was stuff to take....). Jumped in Town Portal, and there was Luna on Pegasi and Griffin Conservatory level 3 not taken. Took it - the timer ran out. Next turn Kyrre stood next to the Teleport, grabbed the Hive with Hydras and attacked. More meat, slightly higher stats, less mana, but the Cloak of 4th level is on so not critical, plus Pyra got Resistance on level-up. In the Fireball I got lucky with Resistance on the Angels when the opponent cast Mass Slow, and Morale was hitting hard) Thanks for the games!

Start with Ivor for elfs. Have found also homestad si everying was good. Saw kyrre and wanted to start with him as 1st hero but attack but on prison saw Crag hack (10 leves exp offense, armor, logistic and balistic) after i win vs horde of demons. Still go with Kyrre because i have already earth magic and saw that are 2 cons so i need slow exp. All was good, i found everying . Go undergond and attack 1st utopia on week 3 day 2 . Didnt have more army left to attack other utopias so i wait until week 4 day 1. After i attack 2 more utopia and with orb for me was best because even my oppoent have armageddon its zero.
Thanks for the game!

The game started with Grands flying off on turn 112 from the morale of an upgraded stack of Wolves. Finding an external dwelling of Elves behind the Dwarves allowed me to get back into the game. I spent the entire first week digging for money to build Cavaliers - they were built.

In the second week, I dug up a Griffin Conservatory and a Pandora's Box with 50+ Ogres. The Conservatory turned out to be level 1, I took it immediately. The Pandora's Box gave 10,000 gold, which allowed me to recruit well and take two Dragon Fly Hives at the respawn. Two adjacent zones on the way - Dungeon and Tower underground. Off-road - Swamp.

On the Snow terrain, I revealed a descent to the treasure zone through the underground; nearby there was a Chain Mail +4. In the third week, I cleared the treasure zone - I was really lucky with it: 3 Dragon Fly Hives compactly placed, a Conservatory with a Cloak of Abdication, a Dragon Utopia for a Chalice and Boots of Resistance, and also 4 external dwellings of Red Dragons.

Yenova leveled up excellently - Earth Magic, Offense, Logistics, I even decided to take Resistance.

I came out of the treasure zone with 26 Angels, 4 Angels, 4 Red Dragons, 50 Grands and headed towards the opponent through the GO. While I was moving, he had already cleared the GO himself, but then ran back. I take the Swamp, upgrade the Angels, take the opponent's respawn and his "dead-end adjacent zone", which also turns out to be a ramp. The opponent revealed Town Portal, but in none of the castles is the mage guild built - I realize it's КЗ there.

I make a mistake in maneuvering heroes, the opponent comes out of the treasure zone with 4 Angels, 14 Angels, 1000 Skeletons, ~60 Grands and recaptures his respawn with the Dwarven Barracks (double). He stays the night in the Dwarven Barracks (double), where Yenova can reach. I equip the Boots of Resistance and the Cloak of Abdication, deploy around the upgraded Cavaliers - the 55% Resistance blocked three Ballista bolts for 400 damage. I cast Oil, three Ballista bolts for 700 damage hit, killed everything except the Skeletons through Wait - followed by a surrender.

Thanks for the game and a useful lesson!

Currently, the following matches haven't been played:
Sevan_80 vs Ambra - Ambra is absent and leaves the tournament.

The setup was good: an external dwelling of elves, computers relatively close, and from the start there was a ghost hero who collected a few bones.
In general, my opponent and I ran along mediocre middle roads to mediocre treasure zones until the second month. It became essentially clear that whoever would gain at least partial control first would win. I built Dimension Door in necro-GM, and Kyrre ran to the opponent for a better life on the fourth week, seized a castle, nearly lost the entire army to a scout hero, but managed to escape with Kyrre into the opponent's treasure zone, where I fortunately found the missing KZ and army.
The opponent, starting from the fourth week, due to angel growth and stats, began to outpace me in power; I even considered surrendering, but decided to resist until the end.
Thanks for the game.

The opponent didn't get any army at the respawn. I ran to his base and caught him in the Castle. Still, well played, he did a decent job getting to the center, opponent. Thanks for the game.

We played in several sessions.

I killed the opponent's main hero on 145 with bracers and took almost all of his artifacts. The opponent didn't surrender and decided to continue. I survived until 213. I bought back his former main who had 2 Dimension Door and killed him with that same hero.

Thanks for the game.
