Oelm (blue, Dungeon, Shakhti, Dragon) def Wlk777 (red, Rampart, Kirra, Kirra) 121.

Having decided that a Dungeon without Griffin Conservatories is a total bust, I decided to choose rests solely based on their availability. We rested, I had 113 left, and then a Griffin Conservatory appeared at the Castle. 111 — Troglodyte upgrade (about 100), I scatter with heroes, Dragon checks the Griffin Conservatory — 1 stack!. Well, I don't like to waste time, I send him in there and immediately get the log. Shakhti lays down the papal authority. A Pandora's Box and an external dwelling of Manticores are visible behind a horde of Grand Elves. 112 — I check a Naga Bank — 3 stacks. That was unlucky. Dragon frees Rosik, level 5, from a prison, then a Helm of Chaos behind a group of Sultans. I think, I decide to attack. There are 9 of them((. I lose some Troglodytes and Gnolls.
113. Shakhtyor breaks through to a grassy secondary zone. Collects gold. Dragon stands in front of a Pandora's Box containing a lot of Gold Golems.
114. I decide to go for the Troglodytes. I build a portal, bring more of them from the external dwelling, Dragon with 85 Troglodytes, Gnolls, and Lizardmen kills 45 Gold Golems, receives 10,000 experience as a reward. And immediately reaches level 10 (Expert Earth, Advanced Log, Basic Tactics). Shakhtyor visits the stables, Malekit scouts the treasure zone in the meantime. There is a block of Necro Horses there, so he leaves that area.
115. Dragon breaks through paths along the road to a secondary Castle. 116. I take it with Rion. 117. At home, Eyes in the Citadel + mushrooms. Shakhtyor on an Angel takes another secondary Castle. The opponent still has only one town. I cast View Air. I see that I am one day's travel from his town (roads are fast), a blocker stack of Zealots, Dragon stands at the stables, as my actions depend on what the red player does on their turn. 121. I observe the movements of red's Ufretin, exchanging resources at the external market. Seems like they didn't notice, as Dwarves and Imps are sitting in the town. 121 — I estimate the number of moves, seems like I have enough. I upgrade Marksmen, buy out with 18 Marksmen, Angel, and Pikemen, and storm the capital guarded by Ufretin. I was short on ore, so I spent an extra move with Shakhtyor, and with more precise play from the red player, it could have cost me dearly. Ufretin is killed, in the town I buy a Dragon with artifacts giving Attack +2 and Knowledge +5. (And because of the wasted move, Shakhtyor falls 1 hex short of the external dwelling, but I still managed to pull it off.) The opponent surrenders.
Thank you.
