Main part:
So here are excerpts from the game, not all — for those interested in more detail, please refer to the saves.
112 — during the blue player's turn, Valessa visits the mill and moves back. Apparently, she decided to take the left road at the fork; the passage to the center is not scouted. This is a minor detail that generally doesn't require attention, but it is indicative that over all 50+ days of the game, the blue heroes NEVER made a mistake in choosing directions, never went "the wrong way" — quite a good result, you must agree.

124 — also an unremarkable turn in itself, a hive is taken at 123. Notably, in the subsequent game, the blue player will ignore hives, with rare exceptions. A guess — perhaps the opponent calculated that an army from the hive plus cavalry is enough to kill the swamp dwellers in the second week. Then, movement toward the opponent begins immediately. Out of two directions to the center, the right one leading to the red player is again chosen, without being distracted by the stadium or the Vampire's Breastplate. Although — this is understandably a minor detail; in another game, it might have gone unnoticed.

And now the first truly suspicious moment: unfortunately, there are gaps in the saves here.

On 126, after capturing the castle within four days, the blue player does not bother to check the Griffin Conservatory (it will turn out to be a Trog), instead fleeing into the central underground. There, they will take a second Griffin Conservatory. In general, I was unable to replicate the opponent's move so as to take that second one without prior scouting. Will you be able to?
The next interesting moment:
The blue's main hero is not distracted by the library, as if afraid of not making it in time somewhere. Despite the fact that contact will be deliberately avoided until the finale. It's interesting not only that there is again no mistake in directions, but also that after taking two Griffin Conservatories, the blue player will flee to a completely different territory, never scouting what lies beyond the passages. And rightly so — nothing useful will be found there.
