It turned out to be a tough game. Almost all restarts were chosen. Shakti arrived with 3 stacks. On the first day, he took the gold mine, and on the second, the minotaur external dwelling. The map layout gave me two native towns with forts, which I couldn't capture due to blocks. At 114, I took a Pandora for 5k experience and expertized Earth. Alamar found slow in a shrine. At 116, I took another mino external dwelling. At home, I only built the portal and the eye. Only 5 heroes total; not enough money. At 121, I got lucky with spawns, ending up with 18 minotaurs, and took a small ulix. At 122, I took the Cloak of Dragon Wings and freed Riland level 10 from Prison. Shakti returned home, bought a book, and doubled his mana (it became 100). At 123, I took a three-stack Griffin Conservatory. At 124, Shakti got Diplomacy and took the cartographer. And that's where one trap after another awaited me.
It turned out I had no exit to the super-treasure zone, and without DD, there was no way for me to leave my respawn area. At 125, a decent join of 11 efreits follows; I head toward the Dragon Utopia, near which several hives are located. The path is long; I only reach it at 131, finding a TP scroll along the way. Throughout the second week, the best monster—an air elemental—is visible in the opponent's tavern. I realize things are very bad there, but without DD, I am powerless. At 132, I take a two-stack Dragon Utopia; they give decent stuff, but still no DD. TP back and another Dragon Utopia—same thing. I head toward the third Dragon Utopia, while simultaneously starting to build several towers (we are playing without HW-rules, so no rebuilding). The third minimal Dragon Utopia gave wings, but they don't help; I need DD. Throughout the third week, I build towers, collect scrolls and Pandoras, but there is no result: 3 guilds without DD, I build two more, having already sold almost all artifacts. While I was searching for DD, the opponent had already ramped up and showed a stronger army; at 141, he gets a large join of chaos hydras and a significant increase in stats. To attach a fat stack of minotaurs, I had to fire 4 vivs(( I took the devil external dwelling to attach 20-49 devils in the center. At 142, I finally find a DD scroll somewhere in the corner of the map. A series of jumps and successful joins follow: +8 archs and +26 devils. In a few turns, I manage to seriously increase my army; the opponent appears, takes the castle in my treasure zone, and stays within reach. Shakti makes very lucky joins of pasis and minotaurs, increasing his strike stacks to an absurd degree. I attack Müllich with Riland.
My parameters are slightly lower, but my army is significantly larger. Both have Havens, the battle is under KS, but my speed bonus is higher than Müllich's. The opponent tries to flee, but shackles didn't let him. Victory. Thanks to Vova for a very interesting game.
The video is still on Twitch. I only streamed the first part (until 141); there was no opportunity to stream the rest of the game. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/126806811
