I won the fifth mission, as before, very quickly and dynamically, but now there is one nuance.
The build is the default one for Sigryph, with Chaos, Charms, and BDP (Ballistic Defense Power), but in this particular mission, it is extremely important to get vehicles, as there are no other good alternatives for dealing with gargoyles and golems. So, I quickly got a Balik + Logu, cleared the island with the tavern, and landed on the island with the green boots on day 9, where Sigryph was attacked by Jhalib, who had already arrived. It wasn't a particularly difficult battle; the next day, I got the boots and started clearing the underground. On the third day, I took the city and got BDP, used it to clear the artifact shop's guard, bought the Phoenix Cloak and the Dragon Necklace. By the beginning of the fourth day, Razak arrived, but he died very easily.

On the path of war, I quickly cleared the surface with four imps, killing almost everything, including the pyramids for the Sphinx's quest. Among the mages, Hafiz arrived (he fell without much trouble) and later Faez (I had to take archdemons from the Sphinx and fight with them, otherwise, it wouldn't have worked with just imps). At the beginning of the eighth week, I immediately sailed to the lands of the mages, captured 3 out of 4 cities, clearing everything in my path, and reached the quest titans. Astrid became active with a very solid army and was defeated by me in the Inferno city. I brought the entire army from the dwellings there just in time for the arrival of the first Necropolis hero, but he was defeated simply by the BDP imps; my magic stats were already off the charts. I changed the vehicle to Darkness, quickly went to Dragon Utopia for the amulet, and activated the portal to the nearest mage city.

[/spoiler] All that remained was to deal with Astrid, but she is a very serious opponent. After a couple of clever maneuvers, in which her golems and a significant part of her gargoyles were destroyed, I fought the final battle in the city just to the left of Al-Safir. I didn't think much about losses, as it was essentially irrelevant at this point. I was going to deliver the amulet to the titans and finish the game, but I discovered that Astrid would resurrect in Al-Safir literally the next day after her death with an army of almost twice the size, so I had to retreat and clear the garrison to the last city, which, however, was scary only at first glance. In the same turn, I finally defeated the mages. [spoiler=Astrid and the finale of the entire campaign]
[/spoiler]
In general, this mission didn't change much, and it didn't need to; it was already good. Adding Astrid makes the final stage of the game interesting and prevents it from turning into a mindless rush of the final cities again.
In total, I completed it in 587 days (red dragon). It's funny that my fastest completion on previous versions was in 601 days, which gave me the Thunderstorm, although, in essence, when calculating the final statistics, only the number of days in relation to the size of the maps matters. However, it doesn't matter. Thank you again for the update; it's still interesting to play, and it has become quite a bit more comfortable (although not everywhere).
