Favorites, to battle! - 7 - The Battle of Favorites! - 7

I had to take all the restarts. The generation was absolutely awful, but the final lucky roll was pleasing.
111 - two Dragon Fly Hives, a Griffin Conservatory, a Necklace +3 to all stats, and a Helm +5. Galthran with 3 stacks, Troglodytes for an upgrade and Harpies for speed. A scroll of Haste. Near the town, an experience stone on the road and a bit further - a stable. In general, an ideal start.
112 - ran to the GO - Wyverns. Scouted 3 more Dragon Fly Hives.
113 - another Dragon Fly Hive. Ran to the village, defeated Galthran to replenish mana. There are several high-level external dwellings and a Dragon Utopia in a corner of the spawn.
114 - raised Skeletons with Vokial, placed them in a Dragon Fly Hive. Passed them to Galthran, now 340+ Skeletons, so I go into the Griffin Conservatory 2-4 without checking. There, alas, are only 2.
115 - spent a long time thinking about the best play. Decided to go for the Dragon Utopia after all. I could have headed to the center on 117, but then I'd be without the stable. And with not-so-good stats, and without magic. I take a Dragon Fly Hive (8), leave a Wyvern and a hundred Skeletons with Galthran to deal with the guards on the way to the Dragon Utopia, pass the rest to Vokial. From two Dragon Fly Hives I got 12 Wyverns, but lost one to Magogs.
116 - another 4 Wyverns from a Dragon Fly Hive discovered the same day. Teleported to the GO, took the Necklace from 30 Trolls, freed the useless Sarug from prison, took another Dragon Fly Hive for 8. Galthran grabbed an external dwelling of Bone Dragons and stood near the Dragon Utopia.
117 - captured another external dwelling of Knights along the way, entered the Dragon Utopia. Unfortunately, the minimum version, but it gives the most important artifact - Wings. And I gathered enough gold for Dragons in the fort, with some left over for an upgrade.
121 - defeated Galthran to replenish mana, grabbed the last Dragon Fly Hive with the "spoons" hero. Total - 43 Wyverns, 400+ Skeletons, 9 Knight Guardsmen, 2 Angels, and will have 5 Dragons.
122 - not enough gold for all Dragons, but 3 is also fine. Vokial hits the GO, which is a tough fight (no Magic, no Offense, no Armor). I sit in Rampart. Galthran is defeated there and, flying over the mountain, grabs two Dragon Fly Hives. 53 Wyverns.
123 - free a couple of decent heroes from prisons. Break through 27 Green Dragons with a Skeleton Guard stack for a bunch of things (the main one was the Griffin Conservatory). Ended up losing all the Knights. But in the Griffin Conservatory, there are 3 Angels. Also, Sarug grabs a Pandora's Box - and it has all the magic! Quickly give an army to Coronius and attack 50+ Manticores for the Pandora's Box. It's a tough fight, but thanks to 15k experience, I have Expert Wisdom and Literacy, as well as Earth magic. Retrain spells, portal for mana on the last Death Knight.
124 - then Gunnisson arrives. Stats are a bit low, 13-5-14-3, army roughly like mine - 5-9 birds, 50+ Wyverns, 20 Crusaders, 5+ Psychos. I attack with Dimer - little mana, minimal army. I take down his bird with a Meteor Shower. Then I attack with a second hero, planning to die with an Armageddon cast, but it gets 'Destroy Undead', and I can't cast. However, Gunni has 7 mana left, so there's no point in attacking with another Armageddon caster; I pick up the Shackles and calmly attack with Galthran, who has 100 mana points.
The opponent, after killing 4 of my Dragons with Wyverns and Mass Haste, tries to buy his way out, but seeing the Shackles, realizes he's in a tight spot.
Thank you for the game!
