Well, here's what happened... I honestly don't remember much anymore. I know I played terribly. It's a shame, because it's my favorite map, and I've played it many times. I always play as blue, though.
It started with my computer lagging terribly for an entire day. As a result, I only managed to get out of the Castle with my heroes and spread out with some weak units. I didn't have time to build anything. I thought, "It's okay, we'll break through," and continued playing. I got the Gloves of Winner on day 5, and built Phoenixes on the same day. The funniest thing is, I killed the Manticores but forgot to pick up the Gloves. I have such a bad memory! The next day, I quickly moved a Fairy to the location and went to the second Castle, capturing it without any problems! The second town was a Necropolis, which didn't make me happy at all! The Dwelling had Gargantuars, which also didn't excite me at the time. So, I decided not to risk taking it, which was probably a mistake. The third-level Dwelling had Fire Elementals, which was even worse. I kept hesitating to attack the birds, but eventually, I attacked on day 125. I know it was a bit late. And I still lost two Phoenixes there. But I didn't give up and went to the third Castle, leveling up along the way. Although, I had terrible luck with experience. I found 500 experience points in chests, and at most, 1000. That's brutal. And my heroes leveled up in a ridiculous way. In general, clearing everything in my path, I went to the Castle, but I was too overconfident and lost the rest of my Phoenixes. :( My morale dropped below zero. I realized that I wouldn't be able to take the third town, and I didn't have many heroes left to play the endgame. I continued to level up. I killed two Dragon Kings and got a decent chainmail.
I tried to make a Paladin, but it didn't work out. And in general, I messed up with the heroes. You can see the result in Lord's report. It was neither good nor bad. It was just an army of refugees. In short, I took the third town much later, and there was no point in it anymore. I gathered whoever I could at that moment and met Lord. The endgame was fun because I immediately understood that I had no chance. In general, we had some fun, and I lost. :)
Conclusion: I played terribly, I'm not happy with myself, I relaxed. :) But! I was very happy that Lord played so well! :)

Thank you for the game, Lord! And good luck in your next battles! ;)
