"FAVORITES IN BATTLE - III"

We took the rest site.
Found dwellings 1 and 4.
Jalib seemed suitable for the start.
I had Iris, and I planned to make her the main hero. But she started developing rather slowly – no luck with logs, machines, or artifacts. Jalib, on the other hand, got a log, chose the path of war, and received defense. He broke through to the Treasury, took a Temple and several artifacts from the ground. Then, Erling appeared through another portal and immediately ran away; otherwise, Jalib would have attacked and driven him away – Jalib had a stronger army, and his minions were already equipped.
The Treasury turned out to be very large; in the end, I collected a complete dwarven set, and only the crown was missing to complete the full dragon set.
At the Mentor, I had a choice: discard the log or the machines. I decided to discard the log (by that time, I had two pairs of boots). I wanted attack, but I got summoning.
I went to the opponent through the Might and Magic (which is GO), and there I found another Rakshasa dwelling.
Hafa, using unnecessary artifacts, reached level 23 (Iris also had some, to catch up to level 25) and used the bonus to increase troop recruitment.
On the way to the opponent, in one turn, Inga, level 22, decided to try a trick near the dwarven castle, but it failed, and she died against Jalib.
The battle at the dwarven castle lasted for more than 2 hours. When Jalib started dealing 850 damage plus a mark with his revenge attack, the opponent's game crashed.
My first desire was not to continue the game at all – it was too exhausting to dig the dwarf out of the castle.
But the next day, I gathered my strength and decided to finish it. This time, it was faster; I killed all the dragons plus 3/4 of the elders with harpooners and bought my way out for 100K (I had a lot of money, and 30K remained). Jalib lost about 15-20 gremlins.
The opponent decided not to continue.
Thank you for the game.

P.S. For the second time, the map generates a situation where I break through to one of the zones – there's a small area, about a meter by a meter, surrounded by mountains and forest. A cockroach can cross this zone in one turn, and there are still action points left. I sent both maps to Mozu (the first one was a fun game with Sergey; I don't remember the template now, but it was critical – the other portal was broken through with significant losses). Mozu says they are dealing with the DVP. But it's a bit sad.
