I spent all my restarts. I captured a small respawn, which has practically nothing except boots and gloves for 20+ Wasps, which is undoubtedly cool. I found Tamika as the main hero. For the entire first week I traveled through an adjacent zone along an extremely long road to who knows where, eventually finding a passage to the next zone on day 117. On day 117, I barely gathered enough resources to build Griffins and made a pope-level move: due to a lack of money, I decided to buy back a defeated hero the next day, and build Griffins now. As a result, on day 121, I overwrote Tamika myself. In the second week, with Griffins, I started collecting 2 Griffin Conservatories in a huge adjacent zone and went to capture the enemy - Conflux. I captured the enemy on day 125 with an army of roughly 3 Angels and 5 Griffins. Due to my own inexperience, I couldn't transfer the army back for a very long time - the enemy killed a hero in the chain, then he, like some noob, recaptured the town. As a result, a lot of pointless standing around. On day 133, I encountered the opponent's town. I finally found the passage to the central treasure zone, but the opponent kept knocking heroes out of the chain with noobs, so I got completely lost on the map. On day 141, I decided to return home and clear a corner treasure zone off-road (I had expert Pathfinding). I found a lot of Dragon Fly Hives and Griffin Conservatories; the guild showed my army power was higher, but my stats were roughly 10 10 8 8, while the opponent revealed 20 20 15 15. For the rest of the game, I understood that the opponent was clearing treasure zones with control, but I tried to find some stats/untouched Dragon Utopias and didn't give up, since my army power was still shown as higher. On day 231, the opponent attacked and killed me without a chance with, possibly, the same army, but with significantly better stats.
Thanks for the game!
