On the third day, the Paladins were in the camp - hooray, let's go! I managed to break through some defenses, but in the end, I got too relaxed and lost my mages :D Next up were the Nightblades. The machines took a while to build, maybe around the third week, but they were ready just in time, as I was clearing the entrance to the subway. This time, I chose ranged attack and fire arrows, so the ballista was constantly firing :) I also found a log, and later, the Boots of Travel and the Path of War - by the second month, I was flying across the map. I cleared the second section of the subway in about 5 days, emerged onto the surface, and ended up on the opponent's second town. That's where I met him. 10 Paladins, 4 Archmages, and the rest were Imps. The ballista fires before the archers, and the only effective force was eliminated at the beginning of the battle, so the rest was predictable. The opponent managed to kill 6 of my Paladins with his hero and then fled. I thought about it and decided not to continue. He didn't have many options anyway. I had oil, mass dispel, slow, and the ability to learn Berserk and Vampire Strength. My stats were all higher than his, except for magic. I also had a wide range of artifacts and tactical advantages. I even had the Unicorn Bow, so I could buy a hundred archers and have them fire just as effectively as a cannon. Well, that's how it went.
Thanks to my opponent for the game and good luck in other battles.
Alright, let's fight 8-)

He also had the Ring of Initiative and the Boots of Speed, and the ballista had an additional 10% initiative thanks to the Dragon Crown

Отдай свои прошлые сны,
В сомненьях себя обрети,
В бешеном танце душа кружится!
Не думай, что будет потом,
Здесь и сейчас мы живем,
Стань хоть на миг сам собой, слышишь!
