I took all the resource nodes; my opponent didn't. As a result, I managed to secure them all :D. 2/3 of the map's resource nodes were blocked by a lair of demons, behind which were a Beastiary, a Ring of +1 HP, and luck cards. Overall, the first week was a blast. Fortunately, there was a hidden stash of bears with 18 ears under lock and key. I managed to break through the demons only on day 117, opened a scouting location, and spotted another stash, but it was too far away.
I got a Grand Order of the Nagas, but Craig didn't have Earth magic. I was given artillery and air units. There were no boxes for experience, so I leveled up wherever I could. As a result, I acquired a couple more hives with 10 ducks and, at a SUPER FAST pace, reached level 126 and stormed into the Treasury, with 6 gray wolves, 8 ducks, and some level 1 units. Then, I defended the Sword Altar (5 all stats), ate a couple of good hives, acquired a Utopian with the Captain's Victorious Hat, destroyed a village in a dungeon, and doubled my mana. Craig leveled up well; Earth magic only came into the last slot, but there was mass haste and a good strategy. Next, I spotted Valya; there was a decent stack of Crusaders, some champions, 30 ducks, 3 Archmages, and around 60 Marksmen. While Valya was crawling through the sands, I defended the Pandora's Box, which gave 20k experience, broke through to an adjacent grassland, and, from the scouting location, saw the location of the target. There was a skirmish, and, approaching, I saw a vivid picture: Valya was just a little short of reaching the Angel lair, which was guarding the Castle and Pandora's Box. In general, I decided to take out Valya immediately because there was no one to check the Angels. In the frontline battle, I fought a bit awkwardly; the Crusaders were dealing a lot of damage, but Craig is Craig :)
In the end, Valya didn't escape; there was a blind. Hack rules!
Thank you for the game!
