We started playing without restarts, a very good start, Kreg + Müllich + Nagash, there's a 5k experience chest, there are several Dwarf Cottages, a level 1 Griffin Conservatory is found!
This made me relax a bit, losing an angel to 84 upgraded Harpies, unfortunate... A very tough second week... The computer is impossibly stressful, constantly either taking or killing my heroes, keeping a defense in the Castle and so on, only by the start of the third week did I manage to wipe him off the face of the earth, and another computer died there too.
At home there was an external dwelling of Medusas - so I portaled them. By week 3, I have 40 Medusas and 120 Troglodytes, plus the "zhor" from the Dungeon, the situation is so-so. I enter the Griffin Conservatory without checking - it's level 3, I take it very easily with Mass Haste (Kreg rules), then I go to the treasure zone, where I pick up Boots + 4 Dragon Fly Hives for 24 Wyverns, now it's more fun.
Well, week 4 became the redemption for all the mistakes before that.
After taking down the computer (he was a Necromancer), I went to another treasure zone, there were 4 Dragon Fly Hives (50 Wyverns), two Dragon Utopias (small ones). Useful loot: +9 all stats. Next, clearing out the previous treasure zone (I had left a Dragon Utopia there, afraid to fight it with just three Angels and 24 Wyverns), it gives me КЗ and a Helm.
Town Portal to the new treasure zone (the secondary hero there had already been defeated earlier), defeating two artifacts: +15%+10% cloak. Basically, from the start of week 4 until day 212, I made 1500 skeletons from scratch (of which about 400 were converted).
On day 212, Kyrre shows up in the treasure zone, I reach her in two Dimension Doors, her stats are even slightly higher and she has 19 Angels, but against Mass Haste with 60+ Monks and 60 Medusas with Expert Archery and a Bow, only half of the Angels survive to take their turn. The opponent surrenders after losing 11 Angels, 10 Wyverns, 50 Grand Elves, and surrenders the next turn.
Thanks for the game!
There was also this moment, maybe it will help someone. (I remember in some game for the Jurist a tactic also didn't work and autosaves were loaded too)
In the hero window on the right, where the battle formations are, there is a "Tactical Formation" button, which is active only if you have Tactics and it can be manually turned off (i.e., disable Tactics altogether), I have no idea why this button exists and never suspected its existence (I still don't understand how I turned it off), but when my Kreg died during a fight, Tactics didn't work - I was sure it was a bug, fortunately the opponent first explained why Tactics didn't work (it was a real shock for me), and then forgave me.
