here is a brief game overview

111 on the first day I bought 3 heroes: Clancy, a Gargoyle specialist and Nagash and sent them in 3 different directions. bought Elves, bought all available army, and ran the main to break through Imps and stood on the speed boost
112 ran the main for the gold pile behind the Centaurs. weaklings! they fled)). Clancy and Mephala formed a chain to break through the Crypt that appeared. The army is still with Nagash. Built a Town Hall in the castle
113 built Pegasi, Clancy broke through Troglodytes, took the chest which gave a Mana Talisman. Took a Crypt with 5 Vampires with him, as a result when offered a choice of secondary skill the hero learned Estate. Formed a chain for further breakthrough of Lizardmen with Picquedram, scouted a small area of territory with Nagash
114 with minimal losses the Gargoyle specialist killed the Lizardmen, took a chest for 2000 gold, Nagash ran into Obsidian Gargoyles while scouting. Prepared to break through Hobgoblins with the main, taking wood piles behind them, then destroying Imps guarding the Witch Hut and gold. Built Dendroid Guards. No confluxes or Dragon Fly Hives visible yet. No Sawmill visible, and to get to the Ore Pit you need to make a big detour or fight fast fliers
115 after 3 battles, in which I lost only 7 Centaurs and 1 Dwarf, collecting all resources and visiting the Witch Hut the result is: 10000 gold in the kingdom and the main with Ballistics (first I checked what was there with the Gargoyle specialist). At the end of the day I formed a chain for Nagash to break through Gremlins (chest behind them) and Trogs (campfire) to the Citadel and Castle there should be enough resources, despite the fact that Unicorns were built that day. A passage to the neighboring zone appeared. Guarded by Sharpshooters. We will not take risks!
116 avoiding losses of Elves in the battle with Gremlins was not possible: they didn't fall for my bait they didn't fall for it. Here arose the eternal contradiction: what is better to lose, few ranged units or many infantry. The thing is, I had the Centaur stack as a speed-stack. Master Gremlins would most likely have fallen for it if I had attacked with them. Scouted the Dwarf dwelling. 50-99. We upgrade Elves on day 8 and we can take it. There is no resource deficit (wood, ore), despite the fact that I still haven't captured the mines. And Castle will be built and upgraded Elves.
117 after Nagash broke through the Gremlins, Skeletons joined the army. I should have dismissed them, of course, in the next battle Clancy against Hobgoblins for the chest had bad morale 7 or 8 times. It didn't affect the battle outcome, but still... I was in doubt the whole turn: whether to buy Labetha with basic Earth or wait for the next day to buy a hero with native army and send him to collect gold from the Water Mill and visit Mystical Gardens. I chose the 2nd option. Clancy uncovered part of the map, where there is a lot of gold. I need to go there, giving the army to Mephala. Most likely on day 121 we will upgrade Archers, buy them and Centaurs and go clear the Dwarf dwelling
121 I did everything as planned. The Dwarf dwelling turned out to be minimum. On day 122 I will send Clancy for gold. 25 Grand Elves will handle it there. Somehow I accumulated 32 Gems, although the miracle is simply called: Mystical Garden. In principle, with this development I can soon go on the attack against the opponent. I just need to get Expert Ballistics for Mephala. I plan to build a City Hall as soon as possible. Bought Torgrim
122 this day is a day of failures. First I discovered that I went to the Dwarf dwelling without 27 Centaurs, then I almost changed Torgrim's route from visiting the Mystical Garden to transferring army to Clancy, Picquedram somehow blocked the path for the Unicorn specialist, because of which, one might say, I lost 1500 MP and somehow didn't think that this situation could be turned to my advantage by placing Clancy on the speed boost. But there is good news too: Mephala broke through to the Ore Pit, and Nagash went to explore a new direction.
123 I spent this day better: learned that there is 1 more exit from my zone, guarded by a bunch of Dwarves, didn't forget to speed boost. Started building a chain for the march to the 2nd castle. The situation is such that if I find a dozen Crystals, I can aim for Dragons too
124 I decided to run the game on 2 fronts. On one, Mephala with Grand Elves and Centaurs, and on the other, Clancy with Unicorns and Pegasi. After buying the army with Torgrim, there was not enough money for the Mage Guild. So I had to exchange surplus Gems for gold. Thankfully, I built the Market before the Mage Guild, otherwise it would have been a wasted turn! In the end there was no gold left, but scouting showed that building the City Hall the next day is not a fantasy, but a reality. If need be, I'll have to exchange resources...
125 captured the 2nd castle (Necropolis), collected several gold piles, but it still wasn't enough for the City Hall. So I exchanged the desired resource for Gems. I really wanted to build a Tavern in the 2nd castle. And the Sawmill was only discovered on this turn. So, 10 Ore went for 1 Wood. After collecting everything possible Clancy will go hit the opponent. It seems this necro-zone will lead me to him. But where is the portal?
126 the answer to the question came almost immediately. Taking the Walking Dead and Skeletons with Mephala, I went to clear that portal 1 cell short to burst into the darkness. Next week, if everything goes according to plan, will be the week of the final attack. The upgrade of Horses which I did will allow me to hit Liches directly. If the Ballistics skill is raised to Expert, the Elves will decide it. But his main is Thant, which means it could all end in a loss...
127 you can pour dirt on me and cover me with bloody diarrhea, but on this day I built a Capitol in the main castle. The portal, it turns out, doesn't lead to the opponent. How do I know this? Green Dragons stand in front of the entrance to the Dungeon. What to do? Urgently send Nagash to scout the other passage. Next week will be dedicated to upgrades...
131 Jenova appeared in the Tavern. It would be a sin not to buy her. Plans are going very badly. I'll have to radically change the route. Remember I wrote about Obsidian Gargoyles? Well, we will go fight there with the entire army...
132 an ordinary day, during which I simply changed the main hero's movement route, upgraded Unicorns and Horses in the castle. It's very far to run. And the longer the game drags on, the harder it will be for me to "bend the opponent over". A generous gesture on his part would be to show up himself, but for now I can only dream about it... and meanwhile he captured the 2nd castle...
133 scouted a bit beyond the Gargoyles with Jenova. Exactly! There is a passage into the Dungeon. We hurry there. I could, of course, do everything without Mephala, but other heroes, I fear, would be defeated. I have an idea! Disperse with 1 Centaur on someone and buy the main in the main town, but who will deliver the Archers and the rest of the Centaurs? Nagash is nearby, but he has exactly the same distance to run as Mephala. So, the exit into the Dungeon is planned for the 4th week.
134 carried out the planned plan
135 that's it. Mephala arrived at the spot, in a day I will break through the Gargoyles and the 5th level units from Inferno standing behind them. And then there is only 1 road: into the Dungeon!!! I hope to find the opponent there...
136 I was absolutely right! Behind the Pits you can see the 2nd castle of my opponent. Capture it or go for the main? If 1st, I don't think he will go on the attack. In the 2nd option, he could pop out into my main castle already. For now I am leaning towards the option that might bring the least amount of complications. And now the most important thing is to build a competent chain for the decisive attack
opponent surrendered, seeing my Mephala)))

I confirm, unlucky( thanks for the game.
