I approached the game more than thoroughly )))
The same day Sergey pinged me on ICQ with an offer to play a tournament game, I found out that not only does he also live in the near Moscow suburbs, but he's also a fellow countryman from the "small homeland". Therefore, a unanimous decision was made to celebrate this very day in some pub over a mug of beer. What I like about the Heroes community is the open and sociable people, and Sergey is exactly that. Very glad to meet him ))

Now about the game.
On 111 I see 2 roads - one to a swamp secondary town, the other to the Guarded Object for LotS of ghost dragons. The road to the secondary can't be broken through either - a horde of gr. lizards, so I have to take the swamp off-road, fortunately there is a passage there behind a horde of centaurs.
The hero lineup is excellent - Moner, Ciele, Clavius. Since no external dwellings are visible except one of imps, I decide to make Clavius the main hero, so that at least skeletons trickle in, since I need something to fight with.
On day 4 I capture the swamp castle, at its respawn I find 3!! external dwellings of bulls, 1 of hydras and 1 of wyverns. Hydras and wyverns are behind impenetrable guards, so I only collect the bulls.
Things are bad with money - of the income buildings, only the dwarf cottage for 20 at the respawn, which I don't have time to capture in week 1.
Building - in Inferno: 1000 gold, market, gogs and demons.
In the swamp: market, flies and bulls.
I managed to buy all the bulls from 3 external dwellings by trading resources.
Clavius immediately got Logistics and on 121 is preparing to break through the passage into the treasure zone along the road behind the LotS of Eyes.
After breaking through, we see a Dragon Fly Hive in the underground behind a horde of gr. eyes, a utopia, and we rush further to a teleporter leading to another secondary town. It turned out that the path to the secondary goes through the treasure zone with a teleporter. The secondary turned out to be a Castle one with an external dwelling of marksmen, griffins, an imp hovel, 2 crypts for 5 and 10 vamps, and a mini-naga bank. I collect all this, finally get money for recruitment, and aside from that I gathered 100 skeletons. The skeletons, however, all fell when the scout hero broke through a horde of gr. lizards that were on the road to the swamp secondary. Clavius got Air magic, has Haste.

At the end of the second week, the scout hero at the swamp respawn finds a passage into a second treasure zone, where, in principle, there are things to do, but everything is rather far away, and also a passage to the opponent's respawn with a conveniently located stable.
I make a decision - to run to the opponent's respawn rather than into the treasure zone, hoping for surprise, besides I had leveled up Mass Haste.
On 127 I arrive with Clavius, with what I had: 21 bulls and 1 gr. fly at the opponent's respawn. 90 shooters and Mass Haste. I think, if he attacks, I'll buy myself out with a trade of troops. But Nitro didn't attack; on 131 with the same army I run around his respawn, reveal the map, and see that no one can reach me, because I have Expert Air Magic Scouting and I can see where the enemy heroes are. On his turn, Valeska returns to the respawn. On 132 I buy 5 wyverns, 7 bulls, 7 gr. flies, upgrade 10 basilisks, also transfer 100 skeletons, bring all this to Clavius and attack Valeska, who has higher stats, has 22 marksmen, 20 wyverns and 5 champions, but has nothing to counter Mass Haste.
Thanks for the game!
I confirm. Stinger is a very pleasant person - glad to meet him. Respawn without external dwellings. In the 2nd week I cleared the treasure zone on snow. By the Firebird I had Expert Air, but without Haste, had Slow, but only Advanced Earth. Damn it, I took a Scholar with Valeska (gave Learning), because of that the hero was crooked and took a long time to develop. Thanks for the game!
p.s. Stinger is a master, of course! He pulled the game out of a tiny respawn (well, three external dwellings of Gorgons also helped :))
