1st annual offline tournament "Best Of The Best"

By the way, you can simply bypass this event: there's a free space to the south of it.

I checked first, and then reported - gargoyles join for 240,000, vampires for 180,000, liches for 180,000... :D And they can do it on the first day of the game if you have the money, an expert in diplomacy, and a strong army... As for the army and diplomacy, it's a matter of a maximum of three weeks, which is what happened in the "Impossible" save, and in your save, everything comes down to having the finances, which is practically impossible to achieve...

"Impossible" turned out to be much easier than "Normal"... :D Well, never mind, let's not dwell on the past... :D
