Standard respawn; among the points of interest there's only the lookout tower, an external dwelling of Crusaders far away, a Cyclops pen, 2 prisons — in one of them I free Erdamon with upgraded Tactics and Advanced Logistics, so the presence of property didn't bother me too much. Having appointed him as the dad, I run and break through forward, cut through the subway and the road to the portal, run further, but on 113, deciding to break through a one-way portal, the scout hero accidentally gets sucked in there with the army. I almost raised my hand to write GG, but after thinking and counting the money, I decided I could handle it: I have enough money to hire knights from the external dwelling and from home, and there's still some left for horses. In the end, the first week was mostly spent on gathering.
On the second week, horses and knights are hired, though both are without upgrades for now, and there was no external stable for freebies either. Then the scout hero on an adjacent zone checks the Griffin Conservatory — level 1 (in general, on this template the evil generator consistently gives me 4 minimum-level ones out of 5 conservatories). Deciding not to bother the dad, I take it with the scout hero, not bringing any army for the sake of tempo, leaving 1 horse and 2 knights there without regret. Next, I take over the enemy's Citadel, completely bare; I forgot to mention the Flax village was already on the first one. I've scouted 2 Dragon Utopias already, but I don't know how to get to them yet. I returned the troops from the first week, took a minimum-level Dragon Fly Hive, then another one. Dad Erdamon slightly disappointed me by taking Learning on a level-up, so Müllich was already ready to replace him, especially since I had already maxed Tactics. I took the Cloak of +2 Speed from the ogres and went for 60+ upgraded Monks for the Pandora's Box and the Refuge. I took it, leaving 8 upgraded Knights and 3 Monks there, and a tough question arose. To take the Titan from the Refuge for 5000, or to build Angels at home — can't do both at once. Figuring that I have nowhere to get money for buying the third week's growth, and no room to even gather it, I decided to take the Titan and gave it to Vidomina (though I never really necromanced with her) and put the remaining cash into the economy. I really wanted to take the Pandora's Box, hoping there'd be money inside, then the Angels could also get built, but after thinking with Müllich's primary wisdom, I didn't risk it. The next day, I took a prison guarded by 50-99 upgraded Hell Hounds, giving them another horse, but freed Gundula at level 10 with Expert Logistics and Archery, and most importantly — with Expert Wisdom. With him, I took the Pandora's Box and bingo, all air spells. Then I messed around with some nonsense, scouting 2 more Dragon Utopias. On 137 I took the first one, and I grabbed the rest over 2-3 more days. They were all, I could say, in different corners of the map, but 3 dads sorted it out, all 3 at level 15-16. From the useful stuff in the 4 Dragon Utopias, only the Sword of "+all" and the Level 5 Hat, nothing else — but tons of money: I built up Archangels. On 121 I kill the enemy and among the scrolls I see Town Portal. Not far from the enemy's Castle, red tiles are glowing, we go there, the scout hero checks and sees Moner on a speed run with 7 Angels at 1 unit each. Müllich breaks through there — he has no Earth magic but has Expert Air Magic. Gundula brings the loot, and Müllich with +4 Speed and Mass Haste covers everyone. In the end, two things worked out in my favor. I took Town Portal, otherwise I wouldn't have made it in time; and in the battle, the Griffin stack got a timely luck proc to kill an Angel in one hit.
Thanks for the game
