Played Jebus Cross LK, on day 111, using lookout and splitting into 6 heroes, I reveal almost the entire respawn. Shakti brought 3 stacks and on the first day cleared a crate from nomads for 10k experience. Saw Gunar in the tavern but didn't think about it and took the crate with a miner. Result on the first day: expert Attack, Tactics, Earth, and Air magic taken. Level 9, also cleared a Helm for +5 Knowledge. In perspective, a Dragon Utopia, Griffin Conservatory, external dwellings for Minotaurs and Eyes, an external marketplace, and a couple of average artifacts are visible. On the first week, scouted the rest of the respawn, flagged 2 Eye dwellings, and 1 Cat and 1 Minotaur dwelling. No more dwellings, and not needed. Expert Air. Built Cats and Minotaurs in the fort, for some reason built a Mage Guild home on the first. Didn't calculate the days and as a result, the miner ended the week in the depths of the respawn, though under splitting; but from the village to the GO (Lich) it's still over a day's walk. The Conservatory, by the way, is located right next to the GO, planned to capture it right before the sortie. Day 121: miner fights a village on the way to the GO, refills mana at the well (100). Purchasing from dwellings and preparing a chain for the GO with full purchase from the castle. Day 122: miner takes tier 2 Conservatory without incident. And immediately fights the GO of 108 Liches. Expert Tactics, shouldn't have been a problem. I deploy as far forward as possible, on autopilot I cast Blessing first turn (like in a Conservatory or something, I repeated it, I dunno) and realize only the Angels reach, and everyone else stands uselessly under direct fire. Why I didn't cast Haste, I still don't understand. For no reason, I lose 100 Troglodytes and 3 Minotaurs, fortunately there was a Pendant of +3 Morale and a handful of Harpies and Minotaurs still reached the Liches. At least not all of them shot. The turn ends almost immediately after the GO. Day 123: I take Wings and a Shield 12-3, on the second took another crate for 20k exp using 73 gold Vamps. Central swamp. Scouted almost the entire center and found the opponent's GO, it's close, untouched, and right behind it on the opponent's respawn a Club for 20-49 Basilisk stacks is visible; assumed the opponent isn't ready to come out yet. Also visible in the center are 2 Dragon Fly Hives, a Dragon Utopia, 2 crates, and an external Harpy dwelling. Under one of the Dragon Fly Hives is a Pendant of +3 All Stats and a Library.
On the third week, progress is slow. After spending mana in the center, I decide to fight my way home to double-dip mana, first taking the Pendant of +3 All Stats. Under the main hero, Golems are thoughtfully left for re-splitting very close to the castle. Mana is already at zero; from the army: 46 Eyes, 2 Angels, 8 Cats, 7 Minotaurs — the last handful killed the Efreet for the Dragon Fly Hive and the Pendant. While deciding who to fight first — shooters or trees — I misclick and attack 102 Dendroids without a handful and without Blessing; there the Eyes got wrecked, and naturally everyone was beaten; I think I also lost a Cat and 2 Minotaurs on counterattacks. After getting out of a tough fight and cursing, I still keep a handful for the miner and fight a bit further, double-dip mana (340) and back to the center; meanwhile, a resupply of new meat is being prepared.
By the end of the third week, 3 Dragon Fly Hives for 16 Wyverns and a Wyvern dwelling are taken; Wyverns are built in the central castle. The Dragon Utopia is taken, containing Gladius and a Shield of +4 All Stats. Still nothing from the opponent; no parameters visible in the tavern.
On the fourth week: upgrade with full purchase — 24 Harpies, 28 Minotaurs, 22 Cats. The home Dragon Utopia was taken, containing a Sword of +5 All Stats, a Book of Air Magic, and a Cloak of +2 Speed. Rush to the opponent; by parameters: a monster 21 23 21 26 (237) against 7 3 12 6 (55). With Tactics, I go forward, cast Haste, rush in with everyone, and after my turn, besides 9 Giants (out of 14), there was no one left to fight. In the end, the Giants, after fighting the Minotaurs and taking out half, dealt the only significant damage.
P.S. For the opponent, this seemed to be their first game on Jebus, having found 3 Giant dwellings on the respawn, apparently they were building up a meat advantage.
