We started about a week ago, I don't remember everything clearly. Roads are slow, near the town there's an external dwelling of wolves, a bit further up stables, ГО Wizard, and behind them the passage is blocked by the opponent's ГО behind a portal, phoenixes. Accordingly, I'm unlikely to break the ГО first. I beat some secondary hero or other, a necro village, behind it a Griffin Conservatory is visible, then for lack of money I went into the medusa dwelling, there -7 wolves due to the rock. Should have been hitting the second secondary hero in parallel, but didn't think of it then.
The decisive moment was on 115, when I made a mistake with a hex in the fight against goblins, and they killed my goblins and some wolves. And I was supposed to go into the dwarf dwelling on grass. I have to separate single units from the wolves, and even take some centaur or other. The dwarf dwelling turned out to be 20 (well, at least not max). In principle, I would have broken it without too severe losses, but the guys started getting morale, and I only came out with 15 wolves. And right away I spent 5k on the castle for some reason.
The second week passed in complete poverty, I sacrificed the bird in the medusa dwelling, the secondary necro hero is blocked, I never managed to break through with the second secondary hero due to the roadless terrain. I found a couple of Pandora's Boxes, hoping for gold, went for them. Both turn out to be 5k experience, well, at least there's oil. But I couldn't really afford the second one in time anyway, so I left the Griffin Conservatories for the third week.
131 - bought what I could, and entered the Griffin Conservatory. -bird and a few wolves, +3 angels.
132 - necro secondary, we send Tyrax there. Have air magic expert, but no Haste. And the opponent has magic glowing, Haste would have been useful.
133 - Pandora's Box with 5k experience, Griffin Conservatory on grass, on the necro secondary, another +3 angels.
Then I went through roadless terrain onto snow, to the center, took a spell scroll there and another Pandora's Box with 5k experience. Managed to get into a dead end, wasted a turn. No Haste in the scroll either, but a flail +4 attack taken.
141 - found a Griffin Conservatory in the second central zone, with a necro town.
142 - take the Griffin Conservatory, -7 orcs due to a blunder, but +3 angels. Take the town, again no Haste. Stables nearby.
143 - came out through the opponent's ГО, I went towards him the following turn, brought up birds and wolves, didn't have enough gold for orcs and goblins.
145 - opponent attacks, FB:

Round 1 - I deploy with tactics, cast oil, charge in. - almost all grand elves, all dragons, and 11 unicorns. In retaliation, angels are blinded. Unpleasant. I fear strong magic, oh how I fear it... The opponent waits out a grandmaster pause from wait, and casts Berserk on the birds-wolves standing nearby. The angels are blinded.
Round 2 - all birds and 45 wolves die from exchange of blows. Another 33 from the opponent's Lightning Bolt. In response, I dispel an angel and hit the dwarves, but I hit poorly, exposing myself to the centaurs. The remaining 4 dwarves take a retaliation, and a full stack of centaurs kills 1 angel. Unpleasant.
Round 3 - angels hit the centaurs, -110 units, wolves finish off the horned ones. The opponent kills another 2 angels with Lightning Bolt and decides not to continue the fight.

Thanks for the game, first time I experienced mass Berserk on myself online) Kinda forgot such a spell exists. Thanks to the opponent for reminding me.

I confirm. Also, due to the game starting long ago, I don't remember everything; the two secondary heroes were native: I got a decent number of centaurs and dwarves. With the Griffin Conservatories it was really tight - one minimum one-(( I placed dragons on the second, but didn't have enough resources and gold to upgrade them to gold ones. I cleared all respawns, though I didn't take the unicorn dwelling near the second secondary hero - too far to run. Decided to break through the teleport, there were a hundred+ zealots (28*5), I sacrificed a single angel, 15 grand elves, and some meat (thankfully expert Berserk was already available - got it just before this from a Scholar). Behind the teleport a bunch of phoenixes - I brought up reinforcements and went in, sacrificed 2 dragons and some meat, ran further - saw the opponent. Brought up all the remaining reinforcements (which I had gold for), thought my pegasuses would move faster, but angels have speed 13. The description of the finale is there, I made a blunder on one turn when instead of Berserk I cast an ice bolt on the angels.
Thanks to Juristis for the game.
