"only XL-2"

Horses in Castle on the first week, fast village, but the main exit onto the map turned out to be through a one-way portal... At the start of week 2, a Griffin Conservatory, a level 2 dwelling, and straight into the portal; there was a network of roads and several broken metros and portals. One of the scouts reached the red player, and there was Charna with a ton of skeletons and full gear. Kyrre avoids contact and rushes blindly into a side teleport, finds an opponent's Tower and a Griffin Conservatory, warms up. I keep scouting as much as possible, while the main hero runs in a big loop around the meadow toward a Dragon Utopia near my first village. The opponent doesn't force the issue, so I manage to clear the contact zone and reveal all the entrances and exits. The opponent decides to attack anyway, captures the Tower. Kyrre flees from trouble into another one-way portal and finds a treasure zone with 3 Dragon Utopias. Finally dug up КЗ; before that, there were three sets of Dimension Door/Fly, but Town Portal stubbornly refused to drop. Leveled up Aenain for jumps and Clavius; this whole gang didn't let the opponent live in peace, taking away towns. At some point, Charna got exposed in a village near her former capital; I decided to check her power, stats, speed, and capes/orbs. Attacked with Clavius, having stripped him of everything beforehand so as not to lose necro artifacts and boots if she had bracers. There was +2 speed, +1 HP, 1880 skeletons, no bracers, neither magic limiters nor Angel of Time Down. Plus, I saw how AoThD was acquired; honestly, I was surprised when Charna rushed into the corner of a small desert treasure zone, ignoring a ring of +1 HP and a prison (she cleared it and ran past). During the attack with Clavius, I threw some small fry into the monks and bought him off; people said in the chat that this was cheating, but we were playing with the HeroesWorld mod, so I didn't worry about rule violations, but really Clavius disappeared on the first round after casting — looks like a bug. Just in case, I hid him far away and didn't bring him out for the rest of the game to avoid unnecessary conflict. Kyrre + Aenain captured all the opponent's castles; only a Conflux village remained, over which, essentially one jump away, Kyrre camped every turn with Archangels stats and a ton of mana. Attacking Charna in the village was risky, and in the castle she herself was in no hurry to attack, because the Archangels had first strike and could easily smash the catapult. Kyrre waited for growth of Archangels and Gold Dragons, raiding goodies (Griffin Conservatories, Dragon Fly Hives, libraries) every day and returning to the Archangel Castle. The opponent decided not to drag it out and surrendered. Thanks for the game.
