If you follow a specific tactic, you can actually win; I lost some butterflies, but no one even noticed...
It's very unpleasant that after all my hard work learning, you draw such conclusions...

Please upload your save file before taking the Hive, because Smoke's save files are corrupted!

I'd like to share my thoughts as well... I stopped playing with the player Jade (Alina) a long time ago because two of our games were interrupted for reasons I didn't understand. The first one, okay, I get it, there were only 3-4 days left in the game, and no one likes to lose, especially a girl, but the second one... the second game was abandoned by Jade because she couldn't make her turn during the battle. Also, after examining the save files, it was surprising how the player managed to unlock 3 cons on week 3 when almost the entire army was in the castle. I didn't want to complain or make a fuss, so I didn't write any reports, but still... and read the reports... on the second week, miracles start happening... angels, dragons, guild 5, wings, implosion.... IMHO, this is my opinion, and I'm not imposing it on anyone, I'll be glad if I'm wrong...

What can I say? I looked at the save file. I wouldn't be able to handle it on difficulty level 111. Therefore, I can't claim that it's actually possible. Maybe some mega-pros will chime in, like Stinger, Forrest, Vik, Vitalik. These are players with a very high skill level. P.S.: Regarding save files on someone else's turn – yes, that's true. Starting as Mephala and having Melody in the castle is quite something.

"intensive training"? Sure, sure...
Ah, if only there was a way to test it offline – if you can't repeat the result, you'll get a spanking!:D

There seems to be an issue with the save file that SmokeMk uploaded (the one labeled "start"). After I pass the turn to the blue player, the music immediately starts playing twice. Does anyone else experience this?

I've already figured it out; yes, it happens.

You don't need to be some kind of super-player here.

I don't know, I personally am amazed when, without magic, 5 Angels and weak units manage to break through on day 121 (against a Stronghold, for example). So, in principle, everything is possible; just don't rush to conclusions, because in Heroes, anything can happen...

Interesting save. To crush the ogres without losses using that army that Mephala has here, you need a huge amount of luck – luck for every hit of the knights, a ton of morale, and even then, only one stack will fall per round, while the rest won't stand aside... Already in this battle, there should have been losses, and not just butterflies, but how could the Hive be taken with such an army without losses? The flies love to eat knights in the hives, and here all the knights are alive... It looks very much like a save glitch, but since the heroes are already in the ramp, the picture is completely unclear, and only the person who played here can clarify it: how and with what was the Hive/guard taken, and what were the losses (a glitch with saving on someone else's turn cannot be ruled out, because when loading the save, the heroes in the ramp are duplicated).

Okay, let's stop going off-topic. Why do you care about the first save? I made it just to record the beginning of the game; the main thing is the second save...

The first proper save is needed to try and capture the Hive and test the battle for its realism! The second save doesn't prove anything because it's glitched!

I have only one question:

in the save you uploaded, are the roads slow? Or is it just slow on my computer?

If the roads are slow for everyone, then all questions are answered.

Regarding the battle against the ogres, it is possible to break through!!! (I just broke through yesterday with a dwarf, 20 goblins 1+1, 3 birds, and 1 bear).

Note that the blue hero has already run past the stable without entering it... Lack of basic knowledge, but the ability to win extremely difficult battles...

The roads are fast; maybe when you throw platinum into the Sod, the roads change...
We're waiting for Scorp to post saves with ogres being defeated by mages and the Hive being taken.
The situation can be generated in the editor if the saves are corrupted...

I have a slow connection.

I think it's time to stop the practice of posting buggy save files, and in batches of two. You could post them daily. Things usually become clear then. If there's a lot of traffic, at least wait 5-7 days, otherwise it could turn into a circus.

Due to the instability of the save files, evaluating the army AFTER battles is clearly inaccurate. The data about the army at the beginning of the turn might be mixed with the data from the end of the turn, leading to incorrect results. It would be very helpful to get Alena's save files. At the very least, she could simply describe how she defeated the ogres and flies round by round.

Yes. Here, the saves of the red player are what matter! on level 111.
