Walkthroughs of standard maps, focusing on SPEED.

Guys, are you really kidding me? Is this supposed to be a difficult map? What's so hard about it? I checked it out during the first week, and it's clear that a very weak player was playing, and even with that, they won. This means that the map should be easily completed by any player of average skill. If you just play through this map, the AI won't pose any problems. At the start, there's a dungeon, a dragon lair, and 2 summoning portals. If you try, by day 121, we'll have 6 red dragons. We can also generate some artifact in the graveyard, like a teapot or Titan's armor. In the Refugee Camp, you can catch a strong monster by day 121. The AI doesn't have such strong starting armies. By day 121, we'll be stronger than everyone else. Another good option is to generate a Book of Fire in the graveyard and a strength or knowledge item in the Phoenix Camp. Armageddon will quickly destroy everyone. Ideally, you need to create 3 fronts. One uses magic to kill Tazar, the second uses dragons to kill Kirr. And you need to take care of Nelk somehow. You can sneak past the Azure Dragon lair and capture it. With a dragon, no one can kill us. I'm not even mentioning that there's also diplomacy... To complete this map quickly, you need to get a very lucky setup and quickly kill the AI, developing logistics heroes, generating gloves and boots, and walking, walking :) In any case, it's more interesting than killing the AI in the Angel Alliance when they have nothing. And what did you expect?
