Air elementals were built, but from the start the fish were on Kalt. Under the castle, there was a Griffin Conservatory with Trogans, but I never got around to it.
On the first day, I smoked, sacrificed meat, almost all the fish. On the respawn, I beat the helm of +3 knowledge, from the chest I got greaves +1 +1. I sat Brissa to replenish mana, somewhere along the way I leveled up spell power.
On day 115, I'm stuck with all three heroes in front of the exit from the underground. I broke my own guard (a group of fairies) with Kalt, only air elementals and fish remained in the army. On the surface - 50-99 thieves. Remembering the experience of the tempo fathers, I decide to attack them with Kalt, skip the turn, and attack with the mage who already has a decent archery line. I threw arrows at the thieves, on the surface there's a passage immediately to two secondary towns. I send in the scout, take a strategic overview, and see that one of the secondary towns is my native one. I take both with the two remaining heroes, hope reappears. At home, I build Firebirds and Water Elementals.
I take air elementals from the secondary town, there are now 25 of them, with the arrival of the native hero. At the swamp secondary town, I beat a box behind zombies, and get 60 Gnolls. Meanwhile, through the bugged passage, the citadel-comp runs up to me and kills the scout. It took a couple of days to kill it.
Further, with Brissa, I break through to the area behind the swamp through Waspwakers, where there is a box behind Golems. The box gave me the second town entirely, I move on. I capture another secondary town, and from the mines I realize this is near the opponent.
At home, on day 127, with difficulty and a full exchange from all possible markets, birds are built in the citadel.
Brissa has Lightning Bolt at 195, I decide I need to go rush.
A few turns later, the opponent shows up. By that time, I already have a good influx of gold and resources, which I exchange to zero and bring in meat. I kill a couple of scouts, and on day 134, having gathered all available ducks, the opponent attacks. When I was running towards the opponent, he had 10-19 ducks, but he attacked with 30. Frantically, I calculate the stack's HP - 2100, my Lightning Bolt is at 1950. Should be enough.
FB:
Shakti 7-4-3-4 with 30 ducks, 4 Minotaurs, 7 Medusas, and an Eye, but no spell book.
Brissa 2-1-7-8, 80 mana, Lightning Bolt for 8 mana dealing 195 damage. In the army: 4 birds, 4 Psychos, 33 air elementals, 12 fish, some fairies.
I pound with Lightning Bolt, fly the birds away from the ducks, which ate my entire army, but due to Shakti lacking a spell book, they never reached the birds.
Thanks for the game!
