TELL ME, PLEASE!! How did BRON appear on the boat??? Immediately?

Gem summons the boat, and Bron gets on it.

The Seer gave 8888 gold to any hero with 6 defense experience on the first day of the game, after visiting him. Gelu was the closest to this (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 step in that direction, but not diagonally to reach the Seer).
If anyone can describe this moment, I would be grateful, as I've been struggling with it for a week.

You could also use Vistan. To get 6 defense, it's enough to reach level 3 - for example, by completing a 1500 experience chest and defeating the dwarves. I preferred him over Bron because of his ranged attack skill, as after casting a spell, with a small group of snipers, he could defeat the dwarves and the medusa lair. In 3 days, Vistan alone could collect all the resources at the bottom of the map.

In general, choosing the right heroes is probably the key to success in offline mode. I didn't know that there were heroes with the initial spell to summon a boat; I had to go around and only reach the water on the 3rd day. :( From vbn's saves, I learned that a hero like the Dragon with one mage can be very useful ;)

The result in the top ten was very pleasing :) It was worth all the effort. But there are still many offline tricks to learn. In the next tournaments...
