Huge hello to everyone!

I'll start by saying that I've completed this map 4 times. First result – 119 days, second – 69 (replayed a bit and got 62), third – 53, and fourth – 39. For the first three times, my first month was the same, meaning I sailed away on the 4th week and captured Tormina only on the 7th day of the 4th week.

So, here is the final Walkthrough or 39 nightmare days (I don't think I'll reveal anything new, but still):

- We definitely make Dessa the main hero since this is a speedrun; we buy her out on the first day and arrange it so that Jeddit or Alamar appears in her place (one of the key points).
- Since the prefecture had to be built on the first day, we buy out Jeddit on the second day and temporarily make him the main hero (for battles with Wizards and pegasi and some others);
- Selt occupies the sawmill and runs down to collect resources; Jeddit occupies the ore mine and also runs down to level up and, most importantly, learn Blindness and get the hat (+4 knowledge); Dessa also collects resources and levels up by visiting knowledge stones (I only took gold from the chests);
- I built up Slaw counting on Thunderbirds (I only built the municipality on the 4th week, and the Behemoths on the third);
- On the second week (I think on the 2nd day), I used Jeddit to defeat the Wizards and pegasi, and then all three heroes ran toward the breeding grounds and AlekseyPanky. After taking the necessary breeding grounds, the captain's hat, and joining 3 Ghost Dragons, 14 Death Knights, and 19 Vampires, I ran Dessa back since I planned to sail away on the 3rd week.
- So, having bought all the Thunderbirds (20 in total) and taking 2 Ghost Dragons (one was killed) with Dessa, after first learning Navigation, we attack the Penixes. Without losses, since naturally Dessa had already learned Restoration using the Literacy provided to Jeddit.
- Next, we sail to the whirlpool, emerge into the Dungeon, and land near the shipyard with the Fairy Dragons (I landed on the 6th day);
- On the 7th day of the third week, we capture Tormina and spend the night there to replenish mana.
- The 4th week arrives (and I arranged it so it was the month of the Ancient Behemoth), and here I realized I messed up the Slaw construction tactics a bit (lost 2 days, potentially 3-4 days), as there clearly wasn't enough money to buy all the Cyclops, Behemoths, and birds, resulting in me just circling around Tormina to save up money. Meat was necessary to join the Gargoyles, which is a key point for a fast completion.
- Next, we attack the garrison (the first long and tedious battle) – my army: 23 Cyclops, 8 Behemoths, birds, and 4 Raiders individually plus supply wagons – without losses.
- Then we buy more troops and run to join the Gargoyles, opening the Griffin conservatory along the way.
- After joining the Gargoyles, we run to uncover the surprise from the VDV. My army: 25 Cyclops, 2 Angels individually, 1993 Gargoyles, and another 4 individually. Losses – 303 Gargoyles.
- Next, we run to occupy Rovener and the Behemoth breeding grounds.
- Then we head underground and occupy Auer, picking up the Gladius and the Helm of Heavenly Thunder along the way (also, Ta Kotoraya happened to be conveniently nearby, whom I defeated without problems, sorry if I offended).
- Having occupied Auer (this was the 6th day of the 4th week), we run for the Titan's Plate, jump back to Auer, and run to the water where the Penixes are; I reached the water by the end of the 7th day)
- With Jeddit, we kill the demons and take the Sentry Shield and pass it along to Dessa together with the Necklace of Marine Foresight, which I conjured from the merchant (spent 4 hours).
- On the 1st day of the 5th week, I had already taken the second Tower. On the second day, I jumped Dessa first to Kildar, then to Slaw (doubled mana), and back to the Tower and attacked the Efreet. Lost 700-800 Gargoyles, but in return took 100 Archangels, which is absolutely necessary since Hacker and Magnus cannot be defeated that early without them.
- Next, we sail with Dessa to Hacker (by the way, I took only 100 Archangels in the army, splitting them into two groups of 50). We crush Hacker (this is done quite easily and without losses) and sail with the same army to the island for the Liches and the Dragon Tooth Necklace (I lost 3 Archangels in the garrison).
- Then we jump to Darkwood and sail to the Black Dragons. We kill them (army – 97 Archangels split into 2 groups and 4 Thunderbirds individually. Losses – 4 Thunderbirds). We take the chainmail, jump to Slaw, double the mana, jump to Kildar, and run to Magnus. It is essential to pick up the Penixes along the way.
- We kill Magnus. My army – 97 Archangels, 59 Cyclops, 439 Liches, 14 Penixes split into 2 groups of 7, about 90 Thunderbirds, 66 Behemoths. The battle tactics against Magnus have basically been described, but I'll repeat once more – the main thing is to lock the Mind Elementals and Magma Elementals in the castle, for which the catapult must be destroyed and someone must be killed in front of the castle gates.
- And after that, everything is simple – we run with Selt to free Joker, and Dessa crushes the Wyverns, simultaneously building a chain to the swamp to free Knight.
