The Final Battle 8

By eliminating unbalanced and broken templates, we scratched out a balanced Jebus.
We took the most tempo-oriented castles.
We chose all restarts.
Just like the old-school pros.
Shakhti comes in with 3 stacks; near the Castle on the road there's a Pandora's Box with 1-4 Ghost Dragons; he cleared it with a loss of the secondary hero and 8 Troglodytes. The Pandora's Box turned out empty.
The spread isn't great — not much gold, there are 2 Dragon Fly Hives, and he got Gauntlets.
On day two I find a third Hive, an external Manticore dwelling, cleared a prison with a native hero level 10, checked the Dragon Fly Hive — 8-12 Wyverns. Even though I have a decent Troglodyte stack, I don't want to lose them there. The scout hero from the prison checks the Witch Hat — it has Logistics. Shakhti already has Air Magic and Logistics.
I open the view area — I see part of the center, GO — a horde of Enchanters, before the exit from the spawn there's a box behind a horde of Dogs and Shackles of War.
113 — I clear the guard of the third Hive, which was blocking the road — 48 Pegasi with Grand Haste. There I lost a few troops — minus 2 Medusas, 5 Evil Eyes, and 15 Troglodytes. Further on, a prison, from which a hero ran forward along the path and found a Pandora's Box behind a horde of Gog. Shakhti takes the Pandora's Box at the cost of the remaining Evil Eyes and Medusas and gets 25 Evil Eyes.
I run behind the third Hive, because there's another Pandora's Box there behind a horde of Nomads, which gives 10K experience on 114. I build GM1.
Shakhti with Logistics, Air Magic, and Pathfinding.
115 — I picked up +1XP with a scout, an external Manticore dwelling, built a portal, and took the max Hives with Shakhti, losing 4 Manticores and a few Evil Eyes. The scouts took the mini-Hives.
116 — I took another mini-Hive with Shakhti, built Manticores, and stood with them near a Dragon Utopia which is slightly above the castle. The scouts by chain took the last Hive with 8 Wyverns. I took 2 external Troglodyte dwellings and 1 Harpy dwelling.
117 — the scouts cleared +5 Club, and Shakhti takes the mini Dragon Utopia 13 8 (28 Wyverns, 100 Troglodytes, 16 Harpies, 2 Manticores); I lost all the secondary hero and 1 Wyvern.
I got Wings. I split into Dungeon, double my Mana (now 80), and run to the GO.
121 — I clear a Pandora's Box with a level 10 scout with Expert Wisdom — it gives all the Earth Magic. Shakhti had basic Wisdom.
I upgrade Manticores and beat the Enchanters, losing Cats, Evil Eyes, Medusas, and 1 Wyvern.
I run to the Genies guarding the Sentinel's Shield and a Pandora's Box.
I dump everything on them except the Wyverns. I stop near the central castle — Tower.
122 — I bring 14 upgraded Harpies to the scout with all Earth Magic; he clears the Shackles, another scout runs to the central castle, where I place a view area, from which I can see Galtran with 5-9 Angels and up to 100+ Skeletons.
Parameters are unimpressive (11 8 10 5). I visit a Library; I wanted to attack immediately, but I make a mistake by running to visit another one and fall one tile short of him. I stay in the Shackles, because I have no gold, but there is hope for Mass Haste and parameters. Shakhti 13 26 9 (35)
Galtran attacks on his turn. There are 5 Angels, 4 Wyverns, 140 Skeletons, and a Shield.
I couldn't buy myself out from him.
Thanks for the game!
