Well then, I'll also share my description, since this time it's without pictures and quite brief:) There was very little time for both the tournament itself and the description.
Walkthrough of the third blitz tournament, or Galthran – the superhero
I'll start by saying that after carefully reviewing the tournament map in the editor, as well as after 2 attempts at completing it, I concluded that to achieve a skeleton count as close to the maximum as possible, the following must be done:
- on the first day, capture 2 castles, complete the quest for the magician's ring, and open the guardian of the question that requires that very magician's ring to pass through, while minimizing skeleton losses, as well as potential skeletons in battles, and not killing everyone indiscriminately, but only as many as necessary (since necromancy on the first day is far from 100%). It is extremely important at this stage to learn fire magic from the scholar, otherwise the Pandora's Box with 7000 dragons cannot be taken.
- the second day is practically the most important and decisive – it is necessary to build the black magic amplifier in the starting castle (at the beginning of the day), capture the castle with the black magic amplifier, killing only those neutrals on the way that block the path, open two passage guardians (near the fort on the hill and the Pandora's Box with 3000 skeletons, which also needs to be opened), recruit Penicus, pick up the Armor of the Damned, take the Angel Wings, open the Pandora's Box near the lower castle, capture that very castle, kill 2 swarms of ghost dragons (those that give wood, ore, and gold), build the cursed temple in three castles.
- and on the third day, finish off the remaining neutrals, exchange the wings for the Town Portal, pick up 100 thousand gold, open the Pandora's Box guarded by 7000 dragons, open the Pandora's Box with 2000 spearmen, buy out all the skeletons, exchange all existing creatures for skeletons, and run to the fort on the hill to upgrade all existing skeletons to skeleton warriors.
Provided the above is accomplished, in my opinion, the maximum result will be achieved. Of course, losses in battles are inevitable, so I'll repeat – it is extremely important to minimize them.
So:
Day 1
1. Galthran moves two steps right through the pillar of fire, then down-right, attacking 10 skeletons – no losses, army increased by 2 skeletons. Total 12. I note that we do not assemble the Cloak of the Undead King for now.
2. Move one step left-up, then 4 steps left and one step left-down, attacking 10 skeletons – no losses, +2 skeletons. Total 14.
3. Move one step right, attacking 20 skeletons – no losses, +8. Total 22.
4. Move another step right, attacking 30 skeletons – no losses, +10. Total 32.
5. Move one step right-up, then right-down, attacking 20 skeletons that are under the pillar of fire – no losses, +6. Total 38.
6. Move one step left, attacking 30 skeletons – no losses, +12. Total 48.
7. Move another step left, attacking 50 skeleton warriors – losses 2 skeletons and 4 mana, +18. Total 64. At this point, leveled up – naturally choose advanced sorcery. I won't dwell on this further, as I upgraded existing secondary skills when leveling up. The last empty slot, as I mentioned earlier, is needed for fire magic.
8. Move 2 steps left, then left-down, attacking 25 walking dead that are on the left – no losses, +12. Total 76.
9. Move one step right, attacking 35 walking dead – no losses, +16. Total 92. Level up again – choose expert sorcery. Now we can think about liches (assemble the Cloak of the Undead King).
10. Move another step right, attacking 50 walking dead – no losses, +13 liches. Total 13 liches, 92 skeletons.
11. Move another step right, attacking 100 zombies – no losses, +40 liches. Total 53 liches and 92 skeletons.
12. Attack Castle Agony, guarded by 100 skeleton warriors – losses 3 skeletons (the towers got me). +60 skeletons, as the Cloak of the Undead King must be disassembled before the battle. Total 53 liches and 149 skeletons.
13. Run into the castle and leave all the skeletons to prevent them from being slaughtered by the towers and the sinister powerful liches that still had battles ahead. Also reassemble the Cloak of the Undead King.
14. Attack 40 walking dead – no losses, +14 liches. Total 67 liches. There is no point in raising skeletons, as Galthran is definitely intent on taking Haunt Wind, which is guarded quite heavily.
15. Move one step right, attacking 30 walking dead – no losses, +9 liches. Total 76.
16. Move one step down-right, attacking 20 zombies – no losses, +6 liches. Total 82.
17. Move one step down, attacking 30 guards – no losses, +12 liches. Total 94.
18. Move another step down, attacking 50 vampires – no losses, +33 liches. Total 127.
19. Move two steps down-right, thereby visiting the scholar and learning fire magic, run into the stable, then into the well, replenishing mana to 60.
20. Move one step left, attacking 100 vampire lords. The first rather difficult battle (I'll only say that you need to position the army correctly and move them skillfully. Formation – 121 liches and 6 stacks of 1 lich each. Losses – 3 liches and 4 mana, +69 liches. Total 193 liches.
21. Attack Haunt Wind with 100 death knights in the garrison. Again, you need to position the army correctly and move them. Formation – 181 liches and 6 stacks of 2 liches. Losses – 30 liches and 12 mana (the first significant loss, but I think it's worth it), +70 liches. Total 233 liches.
22. Move one step left, then left-up, attacking 50 power liches (divide the existing liches in half). Losses – 11 liches and 4 mana, +40 liches. Total 262.
23. Move one step left, attacking 50 guards – no losses, +24 liches. Total 286 liches.
24. Move another step left (staying in place), attacking 60 vampire lords – no losses, +48 liches. Total 334.
25. Move another step left, attacking 50 ghosts – no losses, +24 liches. Total 358.
26. Move one step left-down (but stay in place), attacking 50 power liches. Losses – 10 liches, +40. Total 388.
27. Move another step left-down, attacking 100 vampire lords – no losses, +80 liches. Total 468.
28. Move one step down (stay in place), attacking 50 death knights. Losses – 1 lich, +38 liches. Total 505 liches.
29. Move another step down, attacking 70 power liches. Losses – 13 liches, +56 liches. Total 548 liches.
30. Move one step left-down (stay in place), attacking 10 ghost dragons. Losses – 2 liches, +8 liches and 2500 gold. Total 554.
31. Move another step left-down, attacking 50 death knights – no losses, +40 liches. Total 594.
32. Move one step right, attacking 30 ghost dragons. Losses – 1 lich and 4 mana, +24 liches. Total 617. After the battle, enter the entrance monolith and emerge near the seer Blake's hut.
33. In Agony, recruit Monere (also an interesting point – those who only captured 1 castle on the first day need to buy Caitlin, otherwise the black magic amplifier cannot be built in the starting castle), run with him into Blake's hut, receive the magician's ring, run to the guardian of the question near Haunt Wind, open it, run to Galthran and give him the fairy, take the liches from him, and stop for the night over 150 ghosts.
34. With Galthran, move the remaining two steps left and stay for the night, remembering to remove the Cloak of the Undead King and equip the Boots of Speed.
Day 2.
1. Build the black magic amplifier in Cassatione.
2. With Galthran, move 4 steps left and stop right over Monere, with whom pick up the fairy and give the liches to Galthran.
3. Move another 3 steps left, diagonally open the guardian of the question (I don't know why I did this, as I didn't take the Pandora's Box immediately and returned to it later that same day).
4. Move one step down, then left-down, then right-down, attacking 30 guards – no losses, +26 skeletons (yes, indeed skeletons). With Monere, take the skeletons from Galthran.
5. Move one step down, attacking 150 vampires – no losses, +134 liches. Total 751.
6. Run into the well, then attack 100 death knights (my route to them was: one step right, then left-up). Losses – 1 lich, +90 liches. Total 840.
7. Attack Blackwater with a guard of 100 vampire lords. Losses – 1 lich, +90 liches. Total 929. Finally, the necromancy limit has been reached – 100% recovery rate (4 black magic amplifiers – 40%, sorcery skill – 30%, and Cloak of the Undead King – 30%). Now we can destroy everything in our path.
8. Move one step right, then right-up, attacking 100 power liches. Losses – 20 liches, +100 liches. Total 1009.
9. With Monere, step one step right. With Galthran, run up and open the Pandora's Box with 3000 guard skeletons. No losses, +3000 skeletons and a very good spell "clone". Total 1009 liches and 3000 skeletons.

15. With Monere, take all skeletons from Galthran (becomes 3716 plus 149 in the castle) and the shield of lion's bravery, run to recruit Penicus, then pick up the Armor of the Damned, and run back to Galthran, giving him the armor and Penicus.

28. With Monere, run into Agony and leave the skeletons there, making it 3865, and run to the guardian of the question near the scroll with water walk and gold, but his turn ends under the pillar of fire, where we camp.

12. Jump clockwise through the castles, starting with Agony, and buy out all the skeletons. In Rave Raven, convert all into skeletons. Jump to Blackwater, buy out the skeletons there, and run to the fort on the hill, where we upgrade our skeleton warriors.
13. In total, I scraped together 23071 skeleton warriors.
That's basically it, Game Over! Unlike last time, I didn't indulge in screenshots, as my description would have taken up about 10 meters, and I also didn't describe the battles, due to lack of time, and I don't think a meticulously detailed description is beneficial, as I believe that if a person struggles themselves for a certain amount of time to defeat a particular army with given forces, they will learn it much better. And when everything is already laid out, you don't have to think for yourself, and it turns into – looked, read, and promptly forgot (IMHO).
Best regards, Radik.
P.S. It's a shame there was no time to improve, as I think that if the first day were replayed, 20-30 more skeletons could be gathered.

13. In total, I scraped together 23071 skeleton warriors.
That's basically it, Game Over! Unlike last time, I didn't indulge in screenshots, as my description would have taken up about 10 meters, and I also didn't describe the battles, due to lack of time, and I don't think a meticulously detailed description is beneficial, as I believe that if a person struggles themselves for a certain amount of time to defeat a particular army with given forces, they will learn it much better. And when everything is already laid out, you don't have to think for yourself, and it turns into – looked, read, and promptly forgot (IMHO).
Best regards, Radik.
P.S. It's a shame there was no time to improve, as I think that if the first day were replayed, 20-30 more skeletons could be gathered.
