I confirm.
112. I break through to the neighboring resp, where I see a Dragon Utopia and an external dwelling of snipers. But the road immediately runs into 6K guards, so I turn back. At home, I find an external dwelling of elves and a Griffin Conservatory. Despite the opponent having a native town, I decide to play.
113. The second road is blocked completely by 10+ stacks of ghostly power liches and 20+ stacks of gorgons. A sawmill and an ore pit are somewhere behind them. Plans change; I'll have to upgrade the elves and break through to the corner.
115-116. I break through to the corner, but there's nothing interesting there yet, and the passage to the village is also blocked. However, I found a path to the AI's resp through rough terrain, where I place a chain.
117. I go to the underground lava. At home, wood and pegasi are in the fort; I was 115 gold short of a citadel :(
121-125. I wander through the dungeon looking for the AI, collecting gold along the way. I eventually take its wood and ore, but there is no direct path from them to the town! After the game, I found out that the distance from the elevator to the town (if you know the optimal route!) was about 16500 MP.
126-127. I take a beehive +4 and natively upgrade gnomes, after which I spend many more days evacuating all heroes from the dungeon. At home, there is finally enough money for unicorns.
131. I bring up everything I can afford and decide to take on the home Griffin Conservatory. It turns out to be 2-4, with no special skills, but I decide to fight... I took out 120 griffins out of 200. The opponent offered an autosave, and I didn't refuse.
132-135. Kyrr breaks through the ghostly power liches (-50 centaurs) and runs along the road, only breaking through to the center on day 135.
Well, on day 137, the opponent appears with 5 angels and 10+ birds and superior stats, cutting Kyrr off from home. I considered buying my way back from the AI and trying my luck at the Griffin Conservatory and Dragon Utopia, but I assessed my chances as slim and decided not to drag it out.
I threw away a winning position. No doubt about it.
