[HMM III OFF TOURNAMENT] "Race for the Leader"

Game description for stage #1-1.

The game tactics are obvious, and everyone knows them:
1) From the left upper Rampart of Forest, we send a fast hero to the Stillwater village;
2) From there, we hire another fast hero (or two) and send him (them) to the neutral Necropolis of Ghostwind;
3) From the Necropolis, we send the "fastest" heroes to the enemy objects (heroes and Castles).

It's just that not everyone was able to spend time leveling up the fastest heroes at the start (see the MP.xls table).

Day 1 (accurate to the nearest square).
1) Gem takes the chest diagonally +1000 gold, then goes to the Castle, leaves the army, and learns Blessing, then takes the chest +1500 and gold +1000 on the right, and finally goes to the Centaur stables. He doesn't take the Shield +2, otherwise, we will collect at least 1 less pile of mercury later.
2) From the lower Castle with the reinforced army from Gem, Enova goes out, takes 900 gold, captures the sawmill; destroys 50 halberdiers (see Pic_01 for army arrangement), losses — 1 gnome; takes mercury and gold.
3) From the upper Castle, Vey goes out, leaving only 1 wolf with him, takes 2 chests and 1 pile of gold; he doesn't take the axe for the same reason as Gem; he goes along the road to the northeast.
4) From the upper Castle, Dessa goes out with 1 wolf, picks up 1 pile of gold, and goes to the northeast along the road, to the silver pegasuses.
5) From the upper Castle, Ain goes out with goblins and wolves, visits the Centaur stables, and moves towards the lower Castle.

Day 2.
1) Enova finds sulfur, ore, crystals, and wood; then transfers the entire army to Gem.
2) Gem approaches Ain, takes all the troops, adds 50 Centaur captains, visits the gnome treasure, and returns the entire army to Ain.
3) Ain transfers the entire army and the Blessing spell to Vey.
4) Vey adds another 50 Centaur captains, takes gold and mercury, and destroys the silver pegasuses (see Pic_02 for army arrangement), losses — 4 centaurs, 12 goblins.
5) Vey transfers the army to Dessa, and Ain teaches her the spells.
6) Dessa destroys the pegasuses, losses — 2 wolves, 4 gnomes (see Pic_03 for army arrangement), then takes the wood, disperses the remnants of the barbarian army (to raise morale), and attacks the silver pegasuses near the Stillwater village (Pic_04), losses — 16 centaurs; finally, captures the village.
7) A tavern is built in Stillwater, and Kirr appears, who takes all the troops from Dessa, leaving her with 1 Centaur captain (it would have been enough to leave a centaur).
8) Kirr attacks the vampires (Pic_05), losses — 38 centaurs and 54 Centaur captains (you can lose less) and takes the Shield +4.
9) A market is built in one of the Ramparts, and resources are exchanged for gold.
10) Alagar goes out from Stillwater, takes 1 captain from Kirr, Kirr has 45 left, the elves are dispersed to speed things up (they should have been fed to the vampires).
11) Kirr goes to the neutral Necropolis of Ghostwind, and Alagar goes to the left enemy Castle.

Day 3.
1) Enova takes the crystals near the corresponding mine.
2) Gem collects crystals and sulfur near the gnome treasure.
3) Ain takes sulfur, adds 15 great elves, takes the campfire and the mage's crown, and gives it all to Vey.
4) Dessa visits the mill +500 gold, takes mercury and ore from the unicorns, and mercury from the monks.
5) Malcolm goes out from Stillwater, Vey gives him the Crown and the elves, after which Malcolm gives the elves to Alagar, and the crown to Kirr.
6) Alagar destroys Vidomina in the Darkcloud Castle (Pic_06).
7) Kirr destroys the spirits, takes gold, captures Ghostwind, and takes the chest.
8) Ivor goes out from Darkcloud, destroys the peasants, and collects ore, wood, gold, and chests.
9) Tiraksor goes out from Ghostwind.
10) Kirr visits the warrior's tomb, finds the necklace of dragon teeth, and also manages to grab 1 pile of mercury and give all the artifacts and 43 Centaur captains to Tiraksor.
11) Tiraksor captures the empty enemy Castle Terminus.
12) Another market is built, and resources are exchanged for gold again.
13) Torgrim goes out from Terminus with 2 Centaur captains and destroys the peasants (Pic_07), guarding 3500 gold in chests.
14) Pikedram goes out from Terminus, takes a pile of mercury, then the artifacts and centaurs from Tiraksor, and finally, a pile of gems.
15) Grethchen goes out from Ghostwind and collects 3 piles of mercury near the mine, guarded by powerful liches.
16) That's it! The money is gone, and there is still a lot of mercury around! In general, all the resources have already been spent on gold, and even mercury had to be sacrificed, so there was almost nothing to exchange at the markets.
17) Pikedram with parameters 20, attacks the last enemy hero and defeats him in auto-combat mode (Pic_08).

Victory!
Day 3, Castles 6, parameters 20, mercury 48, gold 62.

P.S. I completely forgot, here is Gem's battle in the treasure, without losses - Pic_09.
