Apparently, Gerter and I are playing different games, and possibly using a console.

I took the time to write it down. All the Guardians are different level 33 elementals, all mages, all packed with artifacts, all with insane initiative (they go first, and by the time my main hero takes a turn, they have 2-3 actions left). So, starting from the Castle and going clockwise:
№ 1 water (28-26-26-27, 7 spirit, 2 luck), troops: 1962 water elementals, 976 high druids, 597 archmage priests, 507 djinn sultans, 126 seraphs;
№ 2

№ 2 fire (12-21-45-27, 3+5), troops: 1962 fire elementals, 1269 forest archers, 507 adepts, 253 shadow lords, 126 titans;
№ 3 earth (30-31-17-22, 3+2), troops: 1962 earth elementals, 976 dark knights, 507 war unicorns, 253 kshatria rakshasa, 126 lava dragons;
№ 4 air (19-20-32-33, 3+3), troops: 1962 air elementals, 976 war griffins, 253 manticores, 253 jarls, 126 crystal dragons.
Meanwhile, in 5 months of playing, I managed to achieve level 34 (26-29-26-16, 9+9 with the available artifacts, the best of which are a bow with a quiver) through hard work and constant battles with the besiegers, and accumulate the following troops: 34 land lords (to cover the ranged units), 867 archers, 541 adepts, 28 paladins, 47 archangels. So, how am I supposed to fight? I repeat, I tried, I experimented (thankfully, I have a mentor nearby), but it's all in vain. Hence, my belief that no Guardian can be defeated fairly.

I downloaded the latest map, but I don't have time to collect all the components, other heroes are defeating me. I'm playing on recruit. How is that possible?

Antik, by the way, if you play as the Knights, why did you take archangels? Without mods, they only resurrect once, but the red angels have vampirism - take them instead. I just have an alternative choice, since my archangels resurrect 5 times and cast a few lightning and speed spells, and your standard ones with 1 resurrection against vampirism (and 1 vengeance) don't work - not at all.

And also, there's no need to mislead people about seraphs.

I don't know how to attach a save file to a message. And also, don't try to mislead people about Seraphs.

Yes, regarding the troops of my main hero - Vitya the machine gunner. The monthly increase of Adepts is 7, plus 20 from training, which means 108 per month. Multiplying by 5, we get 540 (I had 541). I practically didn't lose any Adepts or Archers. As for Archangels and Paladins, their losses were minimal, maybe about five of the former and fifteen of the latter. So, it's unclear where the author gets the figure of "100-200 units" and generally concludes that my main hero's army was small after 5 months of the game.

I decided to enable cheats to check out all the guardians. The guardian with the Earth Elemental is impossible to take down, even with an army of 100k. The other three can be defeated with 10k.

After three attempts, I finally managed to complete this challenging map: I played the latest version with a human hero (a knight with a machine gun), and finished in 119 days (I received a fire dragon). The biggest difficulties were with the guardians. It turns out they are easier to defeat when choosing a troop restriction. It's a pity that the player doesn't get to choose the hero's troops; instead, it's determined by a method known only to the author. In one case, I fought only with archangels (53), in the second with archangels and adepts (53+407), in the third with paladins and landlords (62+1054), and in the fourth with adepts and archers (407+594). I leveled up the hero's mechanics, luck, defense up to Battle Defense, light up to Wind, and logistics up to Cunning. For the fire elemental (the strongest), with its immense chaos magic, unknown spells, and initiative-based archers, I had to change defense and mechanics to darkness and sorcery. In the end, with difficulty, I defeated him. In my opinion, the map would be good, and might even be comparable to "Red Crystal," if not for the annoying finale with hero sacrifices and running back and forth. By the way, without the author's explanatory note, it's impossible to figure out everything. As for future suggestions: test the map, including the final battles, and then release the version. Nevertheless, thank you to the author for their work.
