Where did you get so many?? =))) I only managed to gather 9... 2 from the bank and 1 squad joined me.
I don't understand.
All 4 groups join (2 for money, 2 just like that) – angels and one group of 3 Archons. In total, 31+1+1+3=36 potential Archons, if I had the money. I figured this out during 1.5 hours of scouting, but I didn't play the tournament because of the reason you already mentioned: Heroes is a STRATEGY game, not a quest-based adventure. I didn't even have a desire to play this map for speed (despite how well-developed and rich it is). Based on my experience, I can conclude that the longer you have to run to a potential victory, the more you have to run back and forth, the more portals complicate logistics instead of speeding it up, the less suitable the map is for a timed offline game. I immediately remember "I and my Shadow"; it takes less than a day to reach the only computer, and there were so many different strategies + the tournament turned out to be one of the most representative (if not the most representative) for Heroes III in all of 2007.
