I've never had a game like this. I should start by saying I was very lucky with the layout. On 111 I scouted 4 piles of gold and a dwelling of cavalry (which later turned out to be behind the horde of Wood Elves), which disappointed me a bit, along with the fact that the Archers weren't built. Orin and Luna showed up in the tavern. I was really worried that the opponent would take a rest, so I hired Luna on day 3. This fact didn't go unnoticed by the opponent, but he didn't rest. On 111 I bought 4 heroes, picked up the dwelling of Marksmen, and went scouting. One road led to the Inferno secondary town, the other went through the grass. On 114 I saw the main entrance and that the opponent was at the bottom. Great. On 114 I burned a dwelling of Monks, a Griffin Conservatory for 3 Angels. On 115 I took my native secondary town, built the Mage Guild, and to Fire Wall were added Haste and Slow with Arrow. And off it went. I couldn't build the Citadel by day 117 in either of my towns due to buyouts, so in one town I had cavalry in a Fort, and in the other, upgraded Archers. And on 117 I saw the opponent emerge from the exit near the capital on Shakti with 31 Evil Eyes and 160 upgraded Troglodytes. I was saved by the fact that he went the wrong way and didn't capture the capital. Valeska was sitting there with 2 cavalry. I urgently started transferring the army from Luna and made a big blunder by splitting it at the Griffin Conservatory on day 117 without hiring them that same day, effectively firing her. The opponent saw the capital and headed towards it on 121. I managed to gather the army and had to hire Sonya in the Castle. And the first epic battle took place. Shakti (lvl 5) 3 4 1 2 with 31 Evil Eyes, 160 upgraded Troglodytes, and singles, against Sonya 1 0 2 2 (lvl 1) 4 non-upgraded cavalry, 50 Arbalesters, 3 Monks, 8 Swordsmen, and 69 Pikemen. Shakti fled, and Sonya was left with 28 Marksmen, 49 Pikemen, and 3 Monks. And she moved further into the dungeon, where on 122 Sepinroth attacked her with singles and Arrow, which Sonya subsequently learned thanks to Eagle Eye. And on 123 in the dungeon, Shakti attacked Sonya with 8 Evil Eyes and 57 upgraded Troglodytes, but was again forced to retreat, leaving Sonya with 4 Marksmen and 31 Pikemen. On 124 Sonya defeats the opponent's secondary hero (Dungeon), Eine, who hadn't learned Arrow, which was a big surprise for the opponent. Finally on 126 Sonya, having replenished her mana, finished off Shakti in the capital. Thanks for the game!
p.s. unfortunately, my autosave counter glitched, and I didn't always manage to save games manually due to the pace of the game. But akaWard3n has saves of the game.
