Valley of Dreams

Today, I was informed about a suddenly appearing bug with the blue screen, and I'm fixing it in the post above. Also, for those who are having problems with the Walkthrough of version 1.1, here is my approximate Walkthrough (although, it's on Veteran difficulty):

"spoiler"

First, be sure to upgrade logistics and clear part of the Valley of Dreams. However, it's unlikely that you'll be able to clear everything at once, and it's simply not efficient in terms of time. I temporarily left the area around the elemental dwelling and the area behind the nightmares untouched.

After reaching Erivell, free Nazir as soon as possible. Ilfina then returns to the passage from Erivell to the camps, while Nazir trains on neutral creatures and gains several levels. After receiving reinforcements and upgrading them at the fortress, Nazir and Ilfina head to the outpost, which by that time is usually already breached by enemies. When approaching the outpost, it's best to temporarily give all troops to Nazir (you'll understand why). After overcoming the outpost, Nazir and Ilfina divide their troops based on the situation. For example, Ilfina with 70% of the troops goes to capture the southern necromancer city, while Nazir with the remaining troops goes to capture the underground necropolis.

After that, having captured two necropolises and brought in reinforcements, Nazir and Ilfina, with approximately the same troop ratio, take the long path to the west (while bringing in troops, they train on the surrounding neutral creatures). Nazir, who should already be at least level 10, remains on this path to defend the passage, while Ilfina goes to capture the Conflux city, optionally clearing out the heroes roaming the area. After capturing the Conflux city and Ilfina's return to the surface, depending on the situation, you can wait for a week for the enemy heroes to emerge from the one-way portal and then destroy them with Ilfina (of course, reinforcements continue to arrive for us during this time). The purpose of this delay (again, depending on the situation) is to lure out a couple of enemies with medium-sized armies, thereby reducing the enemy's advantage.

After that, most of the troops (and possibly artifacts) are transferred to Nazir, and he stands close to the exit of the one-way portal, acting as a "stopper." Of course, all reinforcements from the necropolis and Conflux cities and dwellings are brought to him by hero carriers (after upgrading them on the hill). Ilfina, meanwhile, relaxes and accumulates an elven army, captures dwellings, visits upgrade locations, and goes to the Dungeon. After that, everything is quite simple. I would only advise waiting for a new day before removing the green gates in the Dungeon, in order to capture the second Conflux city as quickly as possible and prevent enemy heroes from reaching the surface. With five cities against three and a controlled passage into the Dungeon, the rest becomes a matter of technique. If the Necropolis manages to accumulate significant forces, some of the troops can be summoned as reinforcements from the cities, and some of the reinforcement streams can be transferred from Nazir to Ilfina. The main thing is for Ilfina to stand closer to the exit to the surface or on the surface itself, in order to force the Conflux to adjust its plans and, if possible, stay in the nearest elven city. And near that city is the entrance to the desired one-way portal, so if Ilfina is confident enough in her strength to hold the passage to the portal and prevent the Necropolis from emerging from the nearest city, then you can wait for Nazir to arrive with a considerable army, cutting through the red gates.
P.S. When approaching the elven cities, small squads will join Ilfina. Also, before opening the green gates, you can join a squad of archers on the northern island.
