mals (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Alexis007 (red, Castle, Turis, Turis) 2sm4d(3) 142, two restarts-no restarts.
The respawn is poor, so 4 heroes were running in the first week. The roads are fast.
Week 1 - 123456 +portal with minotaurs +secondary Rampart, elves built there.
Week 2 found 1 Griffin Conservatory for 1 angel + secondary swamp. Saw a Dragon Utopia and a Griffin Conservatory next to it there.
Week 3 Naga Bank 30 nagas, Griffin Conservatory for 2 angels.
141 take the Dragon Utopia with 3 Black Dragons. 150 skeletons, 3 angels, 3 minotaurs, 4 wyverns, traded for Sword +5 all, Hat +5ks+5s, learned Meteor Shower in the secondary, stats 12 16 12 15.
Gathered an army: 34 Minotaurs, 12 Scorpicores, and shooters - 28 Elves, Medusas, Eyes. Headed out on 143 to break the GO. Then the opponent comes out, didn't work out.
Thanks for the game.

Kaliostr (blue, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) def RiMpel2 (red, Inferno, Peer, Peer), 2SM4d(3), 132. I took one restart, RiMpel2 took two restarts.

Roads are fast.
Week 1: 123457 in the Stronghold and a secondary castle. Also noticed a path to the native secondary castle.
Week 2: Defended the native secondary castle, built a castle in the native town, recruited Ogres and Orcs in the native secondary castle. + Found the Shield of the Gnome King in a cart.
On day 131, I bought all the Thunderbirds in the native town and Orcs in the secondary castle and decided to break through to the Dungeon.
On day 132, at the exit of the Dungeon, I met Peer with 8 Efreet and 6 Hellhounds. I had 31 Orcs, 12 Goblins, and 13 Thunderbirds. On the second turn of the battle, the opponent wrote GG.

Thanks for the game.

Isn't this a technical glitch when the starting hero with a ballista skill doesn't have one?

No, these are features of Shades of Darkness, adding a sense of excitement to the game. If you don't want that kind of challenge, play the boring The Restoration of Erathia.

A fan of 5-kopeck coins? It probably just wouldn't fit, right?

marajan (red, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def RiMpel2 (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 126, 2sm4d(3)
111 in the castle only level 1, in the tavern 2 natives — army of 20 archers and 56 gnolls
I attack 73 hobgoblins and... damn, I forgot to split the gnolls into singles — result: 11 gnolls
I scout the respawn with a look. On the territory there is a library, Griffin Conservatory, Imp dwelling, attack and defense upgrade, artifact +3 to luck and morale
112 I barely break through the guards to the secondary Swamp
113 the road through the secondary Swamp turned out to be incredibly long and winding — never made it to the secondary hero(
114 this is F****** insane, the road is just ENDLESS, never seen anything like it(((
115!!!!!!!!!!!only curses flying here))already went around half the map but still haven't taken the secondary hero))
but I did grab an external dwelling of lizards
116 YAAAAAAAY finally a secondary Swamp town, YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES, placed a wyvern
117 in the main town 123456 in the citadel, in the secondary wyverns in the fort
121 upgraded lizards in the secondary, and medusa dwelling with 6 per upgraded stack
125 with the loss of 2 wyverns took their external dwelling
I see Valeska on my territory — broke through off-road from an adjacent respawn with upgraded horses and upgraded archers too
126 with Tazar I go all-in on the main town because Valeska got very close
Valeska attacks and the opponent makes a mistake in the battle and loses
thx for the game

I confirm, it happened...
Of course I know that 99.9% of beginners complain about respawn when they lose, but...
Shame on me for not taking a restart...
Near the Castle there are two Dragon Utopias, two Griffin Conservatories, and not a single mine, nor any secondary hero or pikeman... On the first week, due to a catastrophic lack of resources, I don't even build mages, further it's not interesting... I'll just
say that during the game I managed to figure out where that one secondary hero was, but didn't make it there... In short, I've noted the need for a restart, thanks for the game... :)

Dungeon versus Tower - from the start, the Tower has no chance of winning, unless the player is exceptionally skilled at playing the Tower, or the opponent makes significant mistakes!
