After my restart 113 we started. Generated slow roads and a favored draft: Tazik with 10 Gnolls, second comes Vistanchik with 10 Lizardmen, playable. :) On turn 1 I flagged 2 external dwellings of Lizardmen, took a secondary Castle, a few Crypts. Dwellings 1-4,6 in the Castle. On turn 2 — 2 Crypts, 3 Dwarf Cottages, a Medusa Fountain that could only be properly visited through a Scholar. Scout heroes couldn't reach it, so I visit it with Tazik and get... Alertness... I fall off my chair :( The idea appears to make Vistanchik the main hero. Dwellings 1-7 in the Castle. Tazik is leveled at the Fortress treasure zone. On turn 3 in the swamp: Helm +5, 4 Dragon Fly Hives, behind the horde of Greater Gorgons 15k experience, a chest with all the Earth magic, and a level 2 Dragon Utopia (Book of Earth, Book of Air, Golden Bow), and not a single stat artifact, no Earth skill (1 slot left). :( I break into a Castle, there's a Library, a Griffin Conservatory at 3, and a mini Dragon Fly Hive. In the Castle, Angels in the Fort. GO is not an option, too predictable and even from the lookout near GO, Red's capital is not visible, and that's on slow roads... On turn 4 at the Grass treasure zone, I take a level 2 Dragon Utopia (Wings) and 3 Dragon Fly Hives, they give Earth at the very last moment(!), Town Portaled home to refill mana. On turn 5 I cleared the Grass treasure zone (level 3 Dragon Utopia with Sentinel's Shield and a max-level one with Red Orb, Crown of Dragons, Skull Helmet), upgraded Angels, Wyverns, and flew to the opponent. Captured a Barbarian secondary hero, flew to the subterranean treasure zone. On 221 Valeska hits GO but doesn't reach the Fortress. A scout hero checks the subterranean treasure zone (Lava), but it's already cleaned out by the opponent. Town Portal, gather the army, equip the Red Orb and attack. I set up with Tactics, but a surrender follows. Thanks to Vladimir for the game! I was certainly lucky with the map... =)
