Greetings to all!

I'd like to discuss a slightly faster completion when destroying the gold dragons (previously there was no time).
To compensate for the lack of sharpshooters when completing faster than 8 days, in my opinion, can only be done with a larger amount of mana. I tried running with intellectuals – I can't get the combination of archery-air-navigation, and the heroes themselves turn out much slower than logisticians.
That leaves Deesa (with Kyrre, the combination of earth-intellect-air-navigation doesn't work out) according to FireBall's version. And here, no matter how much I tried, I can't get faster than 7 days. With Deesa, after taking the 3 cans, I run down, visit the stables, visit the mana well on the right (mana ran out), take the green's castle (Gunnar is standing nearby, and I take his crest of valor and medal of mana, spend the night in the city – the green's main hero approaches and stands one step away, I kill him, take the necklace of swiftness, the wooden cart). Then I take the crown from the dragon's teeth, Pandora's box, take the neutral fortress city, leave the troops to the noob Malcolm, taking from him the artifact the frozen eye of the dragon, attack the dendroid spawner, buy into the green's castle, build the whirlpool of mana, and run to the black dragons in the middle (Deesa has 440 mana). I level Arkash with noobs and transfer to Deesa. Everything just in time for 7 days. With this setup, there are many options for learning spells from the main castle. Plus, Deesa has the crest of valor and the frozen eye of the dragon – luck and morale often trigger. Sharpshooters – 41. Final stats – 15-11-14-15.
I can't get faster than 7 days. I can't make it to the green's castle in time. And I don't know how else to compensate for the lack of sharpshooters. There is an option with repeatedly attacking the gold dragons using explosion (terrorism), but that also takes longer.
