Walkthroughs of standard maps, focusing on SPEED.

MrLucefer, looked at the saves up to day 7.

Questions.

1. Luna with 1 pixie and a MoD took down several monsters. I understood this was done using "Wall of Fire."
And she had little mana, meaning she placed the wall about 1 time, and then lured the monsters onto it? Teach me how to do this already?
Because there's all this talk about Luna, but it's unknown.

Luna starts with 30 mana, which is enough for 5 Walls of Fire. For more effective use of Wall of Fire, you need to advance Fire Magic and have higher Spell Power. The most important thing is to place the Wall correctly so that as many enemies as possible step on it, preferably multiple times. I needed 2 walls. In the end, Luna had 18 mana left.

2. On day 5, Enian teleported to Tormin's town. How did his mana stay at maximum, i.e., 50?

At the start of the day, he cast Fly, entered a Well, and used Dimension Door, and his maximum was, I think, 90 mana. Need to check the saves, don't have them at hand.

3. Why is the starting hero Shakti when playing Castle? And where does he get 110 troglodytes from immediately?
When starting Castle, can the hero only be from Castle?

I already wrote that I did restarts for about half an hour and saved under different names. Periodically, I exited to the main menu and started anew with a random hero. In some saves, the starting hero was not from Castle. In the save with decent artifacts, it was Shakti. If you start as Dungeon, Shakti can have a maximum of 120 trogs, so 110 is quite common practice.

4. Where did Labeta go? And what did she do?

Labeta took the Speaker's Hat, made a jump (Dimension Door), and took the Cloak of the Undead King, after which she gave everything to Shakti and was dismissed.

5. How did Ciele take the Pendant of Heavenly Bliss? Or did someone else take it and then give it to her and dismiss?

Ciele was given the КВ (air book), she cast Fly, the КВ was taken from her, and she took the Pendant while flying, after which she was dismissed.

6. Where did Kira get the Air Magic Book?

The КВ was in the barbarian's crypt from the start. Zabarques took it. After the green player was killed, Zabarques was bought, and Kira took the КВ from him.

7. How did Shakti give the Speaker's Hat to Vidomina?

They met near Dragobrich and he gave it to her.

8. Kira recruited so many troops in almost one place. Didn't use Diplomacy before. Does it have such a strong effect on this?

Diplomacy is very often used in speedruns, because there's no time to build troops in towns. For this, using cheats, it's checked which troops join where and to which stack, after which they join and are distributed to heroes in the clean run. In my run, I saw that ogres only join with advanced Diplomacy. And once you have ogres, more ogres, basilisks, and vampires join them.
And so, diplomats rule! :)

9. Shakti took the Angel Dwelling with 110 troglodytes. Was it easy and what was the tactic? Single units remove the retaliation, the main stack pummels?

On tactics, I blocked the main stack with single units. After the angel's turn, remove the retaliation and hit with the main stack. Then the angel killed a single unit (though this didn't always happen; sometimes it hit the main stack, in which case I replayed), remove the retaliation and hit. Losses were approximately 20-25 units. Don't remember exactly.
