I got Gunnar and the Necromancer Nimbus. There was one road leading to a 6k guard in the center. Mages were guarding it; I broke through with the loss of 30 Troglodytes. On the other side, Arch Mages were waiting for me; I didn't dare attack them. I gathered a couple of stashes of Troglodytes and used a miner to take a level 1 Griffin Conservatory at the respawn, after which I crushed the Arch Mages, but a surprise awaited me. A village is blocked by 20-49 Caster Locators for a Pandora's Box and a Black Market. I went off-road, but it was empty there. And a one-way monolith — I didn't jump there. A terrible loss of tempo; I had to turn back and find other paths. Second week — Vedomina takes a level 2 Griffin Conservatory, and all my heroes went down from the town to find the Necromancer computer. But in vain. So after another level 1 Griffin Conservatory and 2 Hives, I ran to my super treasure. Along the way, I leveled Nimbus and Gunnar; the latter, surprisingly, leveled up poorly (twice I tried to take Fire; I took Earth at level 12 instead of Wisdom, + I picked up Ballistics). On day 131, in 4 game months, I immediately get Town Portal.
Nimbus took the first Dragon Utopia because I had Mass Shield; closer to the end of the third (month) — a level 3 one, for stats. I emerged with 4 Angels and about 300 Skeletons. Then, on the 4th week, Gunnar, without a spell book, took a level 2 Dragon Utopia. I was given Necromancy Boots. The Necromancy Amulet was also in the treasure, and I was already walking with the Cloak. In 5 game months, Control gets shipped in. After 4-5 rebuilds, I get Dimension Door, then Flight.
Until the 2nd month, I had only 1 town, and daddy Gunnar was without a spell book and essentially spent a month without roads. I didn't even know what my opponent's stats were. I don't remember playing like this))) But then everything changed dramatically. Several heroes with Control, both main characters with expert Air and Earth. I quickly grabbed the advantage thanks to that. I first killed the Necromancer computer, and there the Upg. (Upgrade) building wasn't built. Everything is built, except the Upgrade building (in the second month, Karl!)) I captured towns from the computers after seeing Arch (Angels) in the tavern; I took the Castle and made some for myself. At one point, Nimbus spent the night in a computer's town and was wiped out with all the artifacts for Necromancy. I dug her up the next day. But I felt sorry for the Necromancy artifacts. There were lots of stashes of Devils, and I had started building them in the village. But I didn't have time, as I was preparing for the final fight and all resources went into trading to buy a +2 speed Cloak at the market, but I didn't have enough money (about 2k), so I only took a +1 speed Necklace. The turn before that, I snatched a missing bottle for the Elixir from under my opponent's nose. After that, I attack the turn after under Blindness:

Thanks for the game!
