Aldegir(Blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Invisible(Red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska)2sm4d(3), 1.2.4

First day, cavalry at the Citadel and demons in the secondary town. Money is fine, but no external dwellings. On day 121, I got wiped at the max hive, finished off 10 Dragon Flies with demons the next day. On day 123, the scout hero picks up another +6 Wyverns and on day 123 Valya goes into a treasure zone-conserva, where without Slow and with basic archery she got wiped again, came out with only 9 Wyverns. On day 124, I take my own secondary town, but 4 crashes in a week and a half frayed my nerves and I decided not to continue. And Oleg would most likely have won if he had rushed me.
Thanks for the game. Happy birthday!
I was told that my crashes were due to sound, because there was a music file error in the task manager. Now I'm trying to play with the sound card disabled and I discovered for myself that battles go much faster this way (I've been playing for so long and didn't know this:). ).

We took all the resets and the generation was crazy: not a single external dwelling, small respawn, only 3 heroes on day 1, and 5 by the end of the week. 14 Basilisk nests at the start, but Bron helped with 4 Wasps. One road to the ГО, the other to the dungeon secondary town. I broke through to it, but there was a block of Grand Elves, so I hang around them for a couple of days until I upgrade the Dragon Flies. Visited 2 arenas. End of the week: Wyverns with Wasps at the Citadel. On day 121, I take the Dwarf dwelling with 100, gather money from the terrain, which is plenty. I revealed 2 Dragon Utopias and a Cape of Velocity in the treasure zone from the lookout tower. Destroyed a lot of crypts and Medusa storage piles, built Hydras and Behemoths in the castle in week 2, and the Eye in the dungeon. Tazar with Ballistics, Scouting, and Earth :), but finally got Logistics and found gloves. I only bought the spellbook in the middle of week 3. Capturing various money structures led me into the treasure zone, where Pandora's Boxes and hives are visible. I took a couple of hives, but decided to break into the dungeon and buy the spellbook, doubling the mana. Stats roughly 6-15. By the end of the third week, I cleared the treasure zone. On day 141, I found a Dragon Utopia, which I took immediately — minimal difficulty. Gave a Breastplate +4/4, Sword +6, and Boots of Speed. I break into the dungeon to replenish mana and go to another treasure zone with 2 Dragon Utopias. I see Pasha standing at the ГО, I check the tavern — stats are about twice as high. I buy everything except 8 Wasps and lead them out of the castle. Tazik takes the Cape of Velocity and those 2 Dragon Utopias (level 2 and level 3). Gave good stat boosts, no control, but there's a Sphere of Permanence and the Golden Bow. For the Obsidian Armor, I'm missing the Sword: thought it would be in the artifact merchant, but alas. I go to Pasha's respawn, in the meantime already homeless. I stayed overnight and instead of the Tualow's Trophy Boots, I put on Boots of Speed. Valeska attacks: stats 7-30 against my 24-32. She has more meat: 110 Marksmen, 134 Royal Griffins, 15 Cavalry, 24 Crusaders, 15 Monks, and 3 Angels. I have 13 Greater Behemoths, 50+ Basilisks, 1+1+14 Dragon Flies, 5 Hydras, and 39 Wyverns. +2 to Speed, +3/3 Luck/Morale, and the Endless Sack of Gold. I was afraid of Valya's archers, because Pasha had cemented them firmly with Tactics. It wasn't there, and when I flew in and knocked out half the Crusaders with Wyverns, and then Valya's entire army attacked the Wyverns, which only killed 5 of them in the process :), the opponent forfeited the game.
Thanks for the game.

P.S.: After disabling the sound card, my heroes stopped freezing! :smile44:
