numOne (Red, Inferno, Pyre, Pyre) def bRitvo4kA (Blue, Stronghold, Gunnisson, Gunnisson), 2sm4d(3), 1.3.6.

We chose almost all the rests. Ended up spawning in a narrow underground tunnel. Gogs weren't built. But on the first turn I find and capture Boots of Speed for 40+ Archers! That made things a lot easier right away. GO on roadless terrain. One road is blocked by a horde of Fire Elementals (guarding an Eagle Eye artifact), a Teleport - a bunch of Mummies, and the exit to the surface - a bunch of Greater Wasps. But there's a Mercenary Camp behind a horde of Magogs, which helped me incredibly by giving me 2 Fire Birds in the first week.)
On the first week I took a Snow secondary skill, captured a Mace +4, in the main [town] 1-6 (without 3) in the Citadel. Pyre experted Logistics, and got Earth Magic and Attack.
On 121 I kill the Wasps - go up to the surface and immediately run into Gunnisson standing in the Stables with 2 Birds. In a rush I attack, with the bought 3 Efreets, it turned into an unpleasant Red Rush. We reload a save with the agreement that I don't attack Andrey this turn. So we did, I ran past, took +1 to Attack for 1000. But then the opponent brings up the purchased troops and chases me back to my area, I didn't have enough gold to buy peace, so after wearing down his troops a bit, I retreat, losing a Bird, 2 Efreets, and a couple of Pit Fiends... It seemed like things were bad for us, but there's still one more Bird with the scout hero, and 3 Efreets... We play on.
Outcome of the Second: the opponent's Castle secondary hero was taken away. Gunnisson went back to clear his respawn. Pyre got Tactics, has Advanced Earth Magic. Took a little stroll through the surface, got a couple of levels, noticed another Griffin Conservatory (the first one is in my underground area not far from the castle, which I checked with a scout hero - [level] four). Gunnisson is nowhere to be seen.
At the start of the third, I expert Earth Magic, buy everything available and take my max Conservatory with 1 Bird, 6 Efreets, 8 Pit Fiends, and 6 Demons + 30+ Imps.
After it I have a Bird, 4 Angels, 4 Greater Efreets, a couple of Pit Fiends. Then I take another one on the surface (a two-level one). And I go down into the underground, so the opponent would think I'm retreating. Indeed, Gunnisson with a couple of scout heroes comes out to a distance convenient for me. I buy Greater Archers from the Castle, and Gogs - and attack.
Pyre 14 8 6 5 Expert, Attack, Earth Magic, Logistics, Ballistics, Advanced Tactics.
1 Bird, 6 Angels, 4 Greater Efreets, 3 Pit Fiends, 20+ Archers, 20+ Gogs.
Gunnisson 15 3 1 2 Expert Earth Magic, Attack, Ballistics, Wisdom. Cloak +2 to Speed.
33 Greater Orcs, 3 Behemoths, 1 Angel, 12 Birds, 50 Goblins, 30+ Riders.
I go in with Tactics and Mass Slow. After the fight, I have 4 Angels left + some chaff. I move forward and on the same turn take Andrey's main town.
Victory!
Thanks for the game!
Пусть мой враг будет силен и страшен. Если я поборю его, то не буду чувствовать стыда.
