Started without restarts, the spawn was delightful - starting artifact Necklace of Swiftness, Harpies built, besides the native hero, Vistan with 21 lizards is sitting in the tavern! Lots of gold piled up, along the road a block of 10-19 Storm Elementals guarding an external dwelling of Eyes, a bit further behind 50+ Gnolls a Pandora's Box for 5k gold, nearby 20 Hounds guarding Gauntlets of the Rider, and a second external dwelling of Eyes is visible, and all of this is on fast roads! I break through to the portal without problems where I see a giant secondary-Castle zone completely littered with resources and gold, though the secondary itself turned out to be quite far away. I cleared 3 Dwarf Cottages in the first 2 days, all with stacks of 10-15 as if chosen. By day 1-1-7 I had tiers 1-4,6 in the Castle + a portal to the Eye, from the second week I cleared 2 Dragon Fly Hives on the secondary for a total of 14 Wyverns, but then I make a big mistake - I go into a Naga Bank with a scout hero without stats and lose a bunch of troops - trouble, here from the side of my Dungeon I see movement from the opponent in a place where I thought there was just an external dwelling with a Dwarf Cottage behind Zombies, realizing that for the second week I still have a very impressive army - 10 Wyverns, 5 Manticores, 55 Eyes, and 12 Greater Druids, I go after the opponent, on day 1-2-5 I come out onto his main, but without seeing the map I can't figure out where to run - and there are plenty of roads there. Right at the exit there was an untouched Dragon Fly Hive - maximum stack, I traded 12 Druids for 12 Wyverns, which I was very happy with, in the tavern a Grindan with not very remarkable stats is showing... but on his turn the opponent makes a mistake and, after taking the second nearby Hive, doesn't manage to rejoin the insignificant shooter troops. The final battle was rather pathetic... Grindan with stats 5 1 7 4 and an army of 14 Wyverns, 2 Hydras, 16 Basiliks, and 5 Gorgons, against Shakti 10 9 5 2 and the aforementioned army, due to the opponent having no Serpent Flies I had the first turn + Tactics, I stood in a straight shot for the Eyes and struck with Wyverns against Wyverns - for -6 pieces, it was overkill but even without that everything was clear... the opponent surrendered, thanks for the game
