I might try playing for the first time and immediately join a tournament. If the computers don't overwhelm me:)))
By the way, in Heroes of Might and Magic I, the computer is the most unpleasant opponent!
It can cast high-level spells even with the weakest hero. That's why I only completed the campaign as the Dragons!
The computer buys a level 1 hero, gives him Armageddon, and that's it...:(
In the end, when you reach the source of the "infection" (meaning the castle), it manages to hire 5 hero-kamikazes who simply wipe out your army.
If you think about it, that's quite a tactic!:)

Как много в жизни есть путей
Для добродетелей и мира.
