We each took one restart and set off.
On day 111, I spot the angel wings behind a group of pegasuses, 2 hives near the road, a +6 shield, and a +4 hat (which I reclaim on the same turn). There is plenty of money at the respawn.
On 112, I see another 2 hives. From then until 114, I mostly focus on scouting, occasionally clearing some minor encounters.
On 114, Gunnar appears in the tavern. I dismiss one hero, buy out Gunnar, and send him to clear the hives. The first hive turns out to be large; I decide not to risk it and take another one first.
On 115, I take the hive behind the hobgoblins for 6 ducks and break through nearly a hundred mummies for a box of 10k experience. I increase tactics and logistics, and also take earth magic and pathfinding (Everything would be fine, except the wings are at the respawn. I realize this immediately after taking the skill. :smile35: ). Also on this day, I take both secondary dwellings and spot a psychic external dwelling near one of them.
On 116, I find another psychic external dwelling and a bird external dwelling. I can't figure out a chain to reach the birds, and my army isn't very large anyway.
On 117, I take the psychic external dwelling, send Gunnar back to town—forgetting to transfer the knowledge artifacts—and the chain to the second external dwelling doesn't complete.
On 121, I take the wings, take more hives, and refill mana again (since 40 mana is a bit low in the center).
On 122, I pick up the last hive deep in the respawn, transfer troops, reclaim the +6 shield, send Gunnar on a rush toward the ГО, and set up a chain to take the +2 speed artifact, +1 all, and subsequently transfer troops to the main hero.
On 123, I break the ГО consisting of 72 gr. ducks. With oil, we broke through fine, although we took some damage. Further along the road are 2 hives and a legion torso for 10-19 devils. I clear them, take the hives (both minimal), go up the road, and run into Craig rushing on flies; nearby is a noob with all the meat and next to them a defeated but unclaimed sword +2 att +2 def. I take the sword and attack the noob: he has 3 angels, 8 ducks, 14 gr. ducks + a hobgoblin + a fly, while by that time I have 4 birds, 7 psychics, 37 ducks + air units as ones. I wipe out almost all the meat, after which the opponent pays to retreat. As it turned out, he had almost no money at that moment. Then I attack Craig on 7 single gr. flies. I regret not having death wave and wasting one bird on the ГО. If there were 5, I would have deleted the air units, split the birds into ones, wiped 6 flies with birds due to burn-through, and used an archer for one fly (before the last bird's turn, of course). But none of that happened, so Craig escapes, hitting me with a ice bolt on his way out that kills a bird.
On 124, I run back along the road and stop at a secondary dwelling to refill mana, although I should have kept running and snatched Tvaryna's city in the treasure.
On 125, while poking around with noobs near his city in the treasure, I spot a red orb behind phantom dragons; I even reach it and could take it, but instead, I rushed back to my own Dragon Utopia, where not only were the psychics eaten, but some trash was also dumped. Fail.
In the end, for the remaining 2 days, I spend my time on nonsense while Sasha takes the utopias, grabs the red orb, and catches me at a secondary dwelling on 131. There was no chance for me anymore. GG.

Thanks for the game and the experience!
