1st week, 1257. The Castle gave the hero good skills, but nothing else was yet explored. It takes 5-6 days to reach the secondary locations (this is just to get to the secondary locations, and then to the Castles or the opponent...). They are in the portal for the 1st secondary location and 4-5 days to the snowy area via the rough terrain, both secondary locations. There are 2 paths to the Grand Order, one and one to his secondary location (where he has no exit, and I really wanted to meet him sooner).
On the main, there was a Pandorica with 20-49 Medusas. In the 2nd week, there was already an Horde. I thought it would be 10k gold or experience, but there were 50 dogs, which would have helped me take the Utopia.
At the beginning of the second stage, I go to the Treasury, but there is neither the 1st Hive nor the 1st Citadel, only Minotaurs 20-49 guarding the quest artifacts or +skills. There is also the Horde of Vivene guarding the quest artifact. In the end, I kill the Horde, Silver Pegasi, for the Pandorica, 15k gold. On day 131.

On days 131-134, I kill the Citadel on the main, a level 4 creature, and check for the Utopia. The Utopia turned out to be the 3rd one. If it had been smaller, I would have taken it with almost no losses, but I decided not to go for it because I didn't have much meat... I divided the army. The Rukh went to the secondary location.

I am already on 1, 3, 5 and I go to the 2nd Treasury because I see 2 Hives there. I kill 9 Angels without losses, they give the entire land in the Book of Wisdom, level 2. I eat the Hive and meet the opponent with a larger army. I lost the meat, I don't know how to play with the Citadel.
And when I was breaking through to the Hive, 20-49 Snipers shot down an Angel. The Hive was guarded by 45 Snipers. Already in the 2nd Treasury, on day 137, I saw a blue flag when Cregg had 5 squares left. I had almost no army left, only elementals, Angels, and 10 Ducks, the rest of the army was with Shoh. I didn't have time to combine them back, but the opponent didn't attack.

If I had eaten the Utopia then (if I hadn't lost the meat) and had at least 7 7 magic stats instead of 2 2, and had the Wisdom skill before the Angels, then the game would have ended, but I was playing very inattentively. That's why I didn't fight then...
And if the Treasury that I completely explored in the 2nd stage had not been so bad, 1-2 Citadels and Hives, or a Utopia on day 141, the game would have ended.
BUT against 2 Castles and without a quick passage to the Utopia and with so many mistakes, it is impossible to win.

Thank you for the game.

Oh yes, on day 141, I went home, took the Utopia, broke through to the Grand Order - another Angel. On day 144, I took the opponent's main. I thought I would buy from 2 cities and go to kill the opponent while he is in the Treasury. BUT there are 2 Hives on the main, a Citadel on the main, a Citadel on the secondary, 3 Hives in the 1st Treasury on his side, and the 2nd Treasury with 3 maximum Hives???, in the end, 70 Ducks on day 211 and the Plague Month finished the game (did I still have an advantage in stats then?).

And yes, I dragged the game on further, I wanted to find all the Fire magic, I thought the opponent would put himself under Berserk...
