On turn 1, 2 scout heroes, a crypt, and 2 Dragon Fly Hives are visible. Both roads are blocked (a horde of ice elementals, a pack of fanatics).
I underestimated the strength of the Dragon Fly Hives' guards (40 energy elementals, 9 naga queens).
I thought I'd smash them fast and move on. But I got wiped out on the energy elementals (only killed 20). Seriously underestimated them.
The opponent offered an auto - but it wouldn't have helped. If you don't take the Dragon Fly Hives, what do you do then...(
Vigo didn't lose heart and offered to play another game.

111. Scattered into 4 heroes. 2 Griffin Conservatories, 2 crypts, 3 nagabanks, a Dwarf Cottage, and an external stable are visible (never reached the Dwarf Cottage and 2 nagabanks: too far from the castle, about day 3-4).
112. 2 crypts are taken (1 max). Another conservatory is revealed. Imba boots are captured on the Dungeon secondary (behind 30 mummies). Thought it was nothing, but when I attacked, I barely got out: the ballista saved me (a couple dozen HP left).
It's clear there are 2 Dungeon secondaries. But there are 3 conservatories. And GJ is weak - hydras.
Decided to play it out.
113. The guard of one conservatory is broken through (the other 2 are checked later - the guard there is not weak). And 75 dwarves are broken through - a passage to the secondary.
Again the ballista saved me. Few archers, fought with Bronhild (so attack wasn't high either). Only shot 40-45 dwarves. Ammo runs out. Archers take to hand-to-hand combat.
114. Some treasure chests are captured, the secondary is taken, a lookout is revealed (on the secondary). A lot of gold is visible.
115. Heroes run around and do some nonsense.
116-117. The guards of 2 conservatories are broken through (magogues and serpents - had to bring Bronhild for the serpents, because he got tactics).
121-124. I realize all conservatories are 100+.
The conservatories are taken (first a lvl 2, then two lvl 3s).
In the conservatories, I managed to mess up as badly as I could. I lost 3 horses and an angel. But 40 pokemon survived. How!? I don't know.
Labetha takes 3 levels with battle stats 0 0. But with oil.
Scout heroes capture 2 Dragon Fly Hives on the swamp. Unfortunately, mini and pre-mini.
115. Labetha attacks GO. 7 angels simply wreck those hydras. I lose 30 shooters, though (misclick) - no big loss. Since Labetha has boots and a stable, and with momentum, she runs to the opponent's castle and takes it. There was a scout hero with the army sitting right there. But you can't argue with 7 angels.
As I checked later - my opponent's respawn was simply terrible. He had 2 roads, I had 4.
