What was your first castle in Heroes 3?

1. I got matched to play as Tower. 2. I played until the end and won because on the second week, I encountered a Dragon, although the game was played at 130% difficulty. 3. We played against each other on the Belarus map. The opponent had 7 Ifrits, one in each cell, and the Armageddon's Blade. I had 3 Master Djinns (+2 speed) left, and I was losing, but then I found the Sphere of the Earth, and my Wave of Death could deal 92 damage, and the opponent started to lose... 4. I was surprised by the wild armies of the AI (later I found out that the AI always plays on foot and prioritizes resources).
