To Dmitriy AS.
Just opened your saves and immediately guessed from Bron, sitting in the boat, that the Seer did indeed give 8888 gold. :(
And my flawed scouting said that there wasn't any. Already at the beginning of the game, such a blunder.

The Seer gives 8888 gold to any hero with 6 defense skill, on the first day of the game, plus you need to visit him. I got closest to this with Gelu (I got 6 defense on the first day), but no matter how hard I tried, I still didn't have enough movement points (i.e., I could still take one more step in that direction, but diagonally to reach the Seer, it just wasn't possible).
If anyone can describe this moment, I would be grateful, as I've been struggling with it for a week.
