Thanks for the game!

Actually, we played for fun :) But for extra motivation, I suggested to my countryman that if he won, he would post a report on HeroesWorld. And he posted it upon losing.

We only agreed on restarts 1-1-1.

Center was lost, immediately blocked by marksmen and halflings. Got lucky with the Dendroid. I kill everything without losses. Then right away with 47 gr orcs +4 shield. Took archery to avoid risking running into something unnecessary.
Result of week one: everything with the castle. Tazar took offense and air, treasury found (metro from the grass is the most convenient). Castle captured. Zero hidden caches. Griffin Conservatory level 2 on respawn. Plan is simple: take the Conservatory on 1-2-1 and rush into the metro for geese and goodies.

On 1-2-1 I take the Conservatory level 2 with an upgraded 1-1-1 hydra + gnolls. Losses only gnolls. I attack the castle where stables are built just in time. Logistics stubbornly won't come. In the treasury I see boxes and a blue cap guarded by nagas. Had to beat a horde of pits for all sorts of useless junk. Two geese were taken down.
I bring in haste from retraining via literacy. But just then I free Josephine. They force ballistics through wisdom (standing by the Speaker's Hat, it's unpleasant to take wisdom) so I become a sniper :)

From a hundred orcs I get +3 mana knowledge, level 2, but it's constantly insufficient. Advanced haste is being used for now. Next, 80 magmas without losses. I level up mass haste on them. The following day I prepare to take down the nagas holding the hat and box. Behind the magmas, 25 gr goats — just right :) Nagas fall without losses. (mass haste, multi-headed attack, + 9 gr cows, + goats, + Tazar's stats :) ) I put on the hat, in the box 20 cerberi. + a box for 500 lv behind the cows. It's already 1-2-5, need to prepare for the Dragon Utopia on the secondary. I run past the tree. But then I scout another Utopia. I decide to take it on 1-3-1, then break into the castle to replenish mana, and with Dimension Door to the second Utopia and rush. Tazar became a warrior.

1-3-1 tree with 8 geese. I enter the level 3 Utopia. Tazar 10-14 with mass haste.
I don't take the geese into the utopia, there are too few of them. I lose a few wisps and a decoy. (In the castle I built crusaders and griffins just in case. I have a hat, possibly a magical playthrough of boots). They give rather weak plate armor, Sphere of Permanence, and Wings. Here's a second tree with 6 Wyverns. 1-3-3 second level 3 Utopia. That's Ul, 4 Gladius Shield of the Guardian. I fight my way back home from there. I replenish mana, upgrade hydras (scout heroes killed off sulfur). I stop not far from the GO. Lighting Tazar for the first time. 25-15-19-6 (130 mana)

With angels I don't attack the slightly shifted necro horses to avoid wasting magic resistance. Dimension Door to the Lake of Luck and Morale. And I run into an empty barbarian town. There the orcs are not bought, no cyclopes or ogres. I think about winning :) Next turn I kill both GO, become an expert warrior. I defeat Bron in the barbarian town 9-9-2-1. I send Josephine, expert wizard, with cerberi into the metro. I capture Inferno and the last secondary Conflux of Serega with Bron using the power from the barbarian town and goats. Plan: buy growths and go to the treasury on the sand (with Wings and no penalties, as it turned out there were 15 trees and 5 utopias :) )
Having Tazar at 29-18-19-260, level 18, I receive word of the surrender (though I wanted to avoid pulling packs of 76 air elementals :) ). Thanks for the game, Grey!
