Those who signed up, send your saves:smile33:

So, in the end, I have two save files. I will post the preliminary results soon.

2	BigAke	30	0	6

Congratulations to Lee on the victory!

Thank you to the participants for their results, and to everyone who couldn't send their save files, I wish them not to be shy in the future :) There are so few of us anyway ;)
Now, Lee, please provide a description of your playthrough :) And I would also like to ask both participants to indicate the bonus they took in the hut at the start, or to write that they didn't take any at all :)

I probably won't be able to finalize the results tomorrow, as I have a 1/8 World Cup match. So I will try to check, format, and close everything by Tuesday, at the latest by Wednesday :)

Good luck and have fun!(c)

13 days seems like a very long time, IMO. I checked the save file. The enemies are powerful, and some are even immune to magic...

I gained experience from the Ice General.
Then I chased the enemies around in a circle... :smile19:

Sorry, I forgot to send the save file. (Although it was ready on Tuesday, I think.) Also, the topic wasn't subscribed to, and the last message from BigAke didn't arrive in my email, even though I still have about three times more days than him – 87, although there are 10 Ice Demons and 437 Mercury, but that doesn't really matter if time is the primary factor, and I probably wouldn't be able to beat him faster, maybe, but not by much.

Actually, they are no different from the preliminary results, which is quite good:)
Now all that's left is to wait for Lee:)

Perhaps Mr. Lee could briefly describe how he played, who he defeated, and so on. It would be very interesting.

My friends! I completely forgot about the tournament :) And now I came back, and everyone is waiting for me! I'll write everything down now... On the first day: The Ice General stood all alone on the icy field, surrounded by skeletons chattering their teeth... He remembered his childhood... He remembered the books... He read a lot as a child... He was looking for the answer to the question "Is there life on Mars?" He read... he read... he reread all the magical books from his father's library, but without finding the answer he needed, he realized one thing - he has no magical abilities! The Ice General remembered how he began to study tactics... how he acquired leadership skills, how he rose to the rank of General! He remembered his father's words... that "If you are the smartest in your team, then your team has problems"... exactly! He needs a team - a team of mages! It's decided... it's done! The Ice Demon, the only not-so-useless minion, went alone and freed Damala (a death mage) who was languishing in prison. Damala went to the university and chose nature magic from the available options: "I will be a demonologist," she decided! (I'll say in advance that in 7 days, on level 121, she was level 13 with 1000 combat, 5552 death magic, and 1000 nature magic!) And our main hero, the Ice General, sent the skeletons towards the Castle and decided to learn how to run (1. a speed tournament, 2. few participants, 3. we will play for fun (we will just go along the path, not getting distracted by anything, and take everything we come across until we reach a logical end) (Similarly, I'll say that in 7 days, on level 121, he was level 11 with 3110 tactics, 3510 logistics, and 1100 life magic!). He had to study first at a military school, then at a military university. Having invested his gold reserves in education and green bottles of endurance + 3MP, the heroes decided to gather strength before tomorrow's difficult day. Second day. It turned out to be especially difficult for the demonologist. First, the Tower of Mages, then the Minotaurs, then studying, and then he also ate 5,000 experience and ended his life in the Pits :(. The junior partner in the unfinished (+ 50% we still didn't get) demonologist's business went to take a city! And of course, he took it :) and hired a 2k order mage there... He took a young mage of level 1, confused him, and involved him in his adventure! Enein, and it was him, quickly mastered slowing, illusion, and mirage (If I'm going to talk about everyone in advance, then in 7 days, on level 121, he was level 9 with 4330 order magic and 1000 chaos magic! A mage, after all :) That's how it ended somewhere on the outskirts of the city of Teleres, near the Tunnels, the first and last day of preparations for our gang before the one-way cult trip :) Third day... Overnight stay in the tunnel near the Minotaur labyrinth... Behind us is a terrible battle with 2 scared devils, everyone is alive. In short... 114 second Castle 115 third Castle 116 through the teleport to the Barbarian 117 fourth Castle 121 fifth Castle and 2 difficult heroes, the Hand of Death learned in the 3rd Castle helped a lot then a long journey to the island and 3 days of waiting for the end of the game Something like that. I'll write it down in more detail later
