In the first one, the horses at the Citadel and - 2 weeks of Comp.
In the second one, I terribly hesitated, started playing with the HD mod (those who watched my earlier games saw that I always played without it) and with this hero swapping after passing the turn, I sent Valya deep into the respawn twice, totaling 4 days of wasting time with nonsense, in the remaining 3 days hiding Efreetis, building Efreetis, and three Dragon Fly Hives. At the start of week 2, a Dungeon comp popped up on my respawn with 4 Scorpicores, Medusas, Euryales, and the like, broke my scout heroes and killed another 2 Wyverns. On the third one, I lose an Efreeti by running into double damage from a pair of Black Knights (the generator thought, "Who can't be moraled? Let's double-damage them"), then another 2 on Medusas. The desire to surrender grows with each turn. According to the stats, I'm losing by a factor of 2-3. One consolation: I see Ivor's army has nothing there except his own. 1 treasure zone quest artifact for 20k gold and 2 Dragon Fly Hives with 6 Wyverns each, then another treasure zone — 3 Dragon Fly Hives with 4 Wyverns each. Super, what can I say — a treasure zone with 12 Wyverns, a Dragon Utopia with a level 5 hat, no more Dragon Utopias are seen. I entered the treasure zone first but didn't have time to spread out and clear it — a couple more Dragon Fly Hives again with 4 and 6 Wyverns, only grabbed those and Griffin Conservatories with 2 + 1, when Ivor showed up. And I still haven't delivered 6 Efreetis, forgot the horses again — once didn't bring the fed ones, forgot to visit the stable, once didn't bring them at all. I didn't see Dimension Door in his execution, only Fly with Town Portal, and a scout hero flew to me. I think, what if with level 5 Magic, Fly, and there's no Dimension Door there? You can't Fly in the underground. I run, jump, but there's Dimension Door, and Valya gets it. After that, I just moved my soldiers. And Valya gets it again, but inspired by Hel's report above that you can find a hero in the tavern, I decided to look for her, buy everything, and demonize it. There's a lot of army in the towns, plus they announced Zombie Week twice. I had a whole 88 of them unrecruited — I could even take a Supreme Griffin Conservatory with them. And the opponent divided the army among heroes, but would such a Chinese generator after Dragon Fly Hives with 4 Wyverns and one Dragon Utopia on 3 treasure zones give it out? It was like playing on someone else's field.
Thanks for the game.
