Vitalya suggested picking castles as desired and off we gooo....
Start without elves, but the tavern has 2 native ones (also without elves). Upgrade Centaurs and off we go... Managed to get a good spread with 8 heroes, didn't go for secondary skills — shooter guards, enough jobot in the native lands...
Grabbed boots from orcs + stables, painted external dwellings of elves and dwarves. There were also external dwellings of horses and pegasi, but in the first case — the guard was giant cyclopes, also guarding an artifact and resources, in the second — a horde of harpies, also guarding an artifact. Cleared a bunch of crypts (6 I think), a Dwarf Cottage (15), and ran Ivor through a bunch of level-up structures. At home, I placed horses in the castle and had almost 16K gold left by day 117. At the start of the 2nd week, upgrade horses and elves, grab the shield +4 and take the Griffin Conservatory (4) fairly easily, as usual without the spellbook))), thanks to Ivor's stats and a pack of dwarves. Gold goblin bank (3) and Dwarf Cottage (20). Break through to the teleport leading to the underground Dungeon, there — a max hive and a Griffin Conservatory (3). At home, everything is heading towards training dragons, Ivor starts for the treasure zone, the chain meanwhile clears resource and gold blocks, an external dwelling of horses, and a Pandora's Box (5K gold). By day 127, Ivor is already in the treasure zone, but apart from a Dragon Utopia behind firebirds and a bank (2), nothing useful. At home, dragons are trained and growth is added to dwarves, in the Dungeon — a summoning portal. At the start of the 3rd week, with a lich on 2 horses from the external dwelling, I paint the last secondary hero in the snow, light up the scouting view there and see 2 more Griffin Conservatories. Ivor clears a library, a hive (6), and takes a Dragon Utopia (level 3), while taking it I was practically drooling, thinking, man, pre-max gear has dropped, but it gives exactly what you don't need: a cap +3/+3, a cuirass +4, boots with 15% resistance, and a fire spellbook. I'm happy at least with this, planning to upgrade dragons to oranges and tear everyone apart with Armageddon... I thought for a long time, whether to stay in this treasure zone or hoof it to another, since scouts hadn't spotted anything worthwhile. While Ivor would have been maneuvering with splits, the chain on the snow would have picked up 2 Griffin Conservatories, but all thoughts were interrupted by Shakti, who broke through the 2nd GO from the underground towards me. I break back home, but I'm quite a bit short of ore for the dragon upgrade (((, so I place 4 GM — there's a chain lightning and some fire spell. I see that in Shakti's army there are 5-9 angels, 3x1-4 firebirds, and evil eyes. It's clear that with such might, you can only assault with magic, so I put a scout with a Centaur in the garrison, I stand on a ledge, equipping the boots +15 to resistance. Shakti attacks and immediately uses implosion, taking out 4 of my angels (((, I respond with mass slow and move into melee.... I really wanted to cast Armageddon, counting on unicorns and 15% resistance, but I couldn't push the opponent's angels under 900+ Armageddon damage, so I held off and they immediately wiped out a large part of the unicorn stack with the next implosion....now I was even scared to cast myself :D, afraid I might die along with them... But Shakti was seriously behind in meat, and didn't have the expert defense like Ivor, so soon the opponent's angels were left alone. I made an attempt to blind them with subsequent maneuvers, but forgot about the ballista, which fired at them at the end of the round, ruining the whole plan))). But Shakti decided to fight to the end and couldn't hold out....
There was of course the option to retreat and we would have run around some more.... Shakti had growth of 4 firebirds and an external dwelling of manticores with the summoning portal, Ivor had 3 Griffin Conservatories in perspective and a dragon upgrade, but not this time....
Thanks to Vitalya for a fun game!!!!
