We played in the wt version, where the Swamp is stronger than in SoD.
On the first day, I see a Griffin Conservatory and a Naga Bank, so I decided to play without restarts immediately, while the opponent already took 111.
In the first week, Hydras in the Castle, I took a secondary hero, recruited Wasps from the Hive (never bought a single Wasp until the end of the game).
In the second week, I asked for an autosave (accidentally attacked with Tazar without troops, transferred troops incorrectly). Griffin Conservatory 2, 3 Naga Banks for buying, of which 1 was max, I also captured 2 more Castles, but never got Shield, Stone Skin, or Haste, even though I rebuilt in two Castles. And eureka — in the 5th Castle, Stone Skin and Shield were in the Mage Guild. I also took Griffin Conservatory 3.
Week 3: I already have the Stables, Speed Gloves, and Scout + Navigation. I head toward the opponent (I know he hasn't gone into the treasure zone yet, my scout covered a piece of the treasure zone).
I captured the opponent's Conflux, where I got Haste. I saw that the opponent had started going into the treasure zone, so I decided to chase him and capture the castles on the side.
I caught up to the opponent, managed to eat 4 Dragon Fly Hives, 34 Wyverns.
My army: 5 Hydras, 90 Lizardmen, 3 Angels, 160 Gnolls, 35 Serpent Flies. Opponent's army: 4 Angels, 34 Wyverns, 2 Teleport Casts, Air Elementals split, and 40+ Elves.
When his 4 Angels struck my Hydras twice, and then 10 more Wyverns, and they didn't kill a single one, the opponent laughed and quit the game.
Thanks for the game!!!
