The game started when on turn 112, a stack of upgraded wolves got a morale proc that let Grand Elves shoot. Finding an external dwelling of Elves behind the Dwarves allowed me to get back into the game. I spent the entire first week breaking through for money to buy Horses — they were built.

On the second week, I broke through to a Griffin Conservatory and a chest for 50+ Ogres. The Griffin Conservatory turned out to be level 1, so I took it immediately. The chest gave 10,000 gold, which allowed me to buy up properly and take two Dragon Fly Hives at the respawn. Two adjacent zones along the way — an underground Dungeon and a Tower. Off-road was a Swamp.

On the snow, I spotted a descent into the treasure zone through the underground; nearby lay a +4 Chain Mail. On the third week, I cleared the treasure zone — I got really lucky with it: compactly placed were 3 Dragon Fly Hives, a Griffin Conservatory with a Cloak of Undeath, a Dragon Utopia with a Chalice and Resistance Boots, and also 4 external dwellings of Red Dragons.

Jenna leveled up excellently — Earth, Offense, Logistics, I even decided to take Resistance.

I emerged from the treasure zone with 26 Angels, 4 Archangels, 4 Red Dragons, 50 Grand Elves and headed toward the opponent through ГО. While I was moving, he had already cleared ГО himself, but then ran back. I take the Swamp, upgrade the Angels, take the opponent's respawn and his "dead-end adjacent zone", which also turns out to be a ramp. The opponent revealed Town Portal, but in none of the castles is the mage guild built — I understand it's КЗ.

I make a mistake in maneuvering my heroes; the opponent emerges from the treasure zone with 4 Archangels, 14 Angels, 1000 Skeletons, ~60 Grand Elves and recaptures his respawn with a double back. He stays overnight in the double, which Jenna can reach. I put on the Resistance Boots, Cloak of Undeath, and position myself around the upgraded Horses — 55% resistance blocked three bolts dealing 400. I cast Oil; three bolts dealing 700 get through; after waiting, I killed everything except the Skeletons — surrender follows.

Thanks for the game and a useful lesson!
