Great game, Sam. We're looking forward to the continuation of your winning streak :)
p.s. unfortunately, my autosave counter glitched, and I couldn't always save the game manually due to the fast-paced gameplay. But akaWard3n has the game saves.

I've never had a game like this. I should start by saying I got very lucky with the layout. On day 111 I revealed 4 piles of gold and an external dwelling of horses (which later turned out to be behind the Horde of Forest Elves), which made me a bit sad, and also that the Archers weren't built. In the tavern I got Orrin and Luna. I was really worried the opponent would take a rest, so I took Luna on day 3. This fact did not go unnoticed by the opponent, but he didn't rest. On day 111 I bought 4 heroes, took the external dwelling of Archers, and went scouting. One road led to the secondary Inferno, the other went through the grass. On day 114 I saw the GO, and that the opponent was at the bottom. Great. On day 114 I burned the external dwelling of Monks, the Griffin Conservatory with 3 Angels, on day 115 I took my native secondary, built the Mage Guild, and added Haste and Slow with Archery to the Fire Wall. And off we went. I couldn't build a Citadel in either castle by day 117 due to buyouts, so in one castle I had horses in the Fort, and in the other, upgraded Archers. And on day 117 I saw the opponent come out of the exit near the capital with Shakti, having 31 Evil Eyes and 160 upgraded Troglodytes. I was saved by the fact that he went the wrong way and didn't capture the capital. I had Valeska there with 2 horses. I urgently started transferring the army from Luna and really messed up, defeating her at the Griffin Conservatory on day 117 without hiring her the same day — basically, I dismissed her. The opponent saw the capital and headed towards it on day 121. I managed to bring up the army and had to hire Sonya in the castle. And the first epic battle took place. Shakti (level 5) 3 4 1 2 with 31 Evil Eyes, 160 upgraded Troglodytes, and single units, against Sonya 1 0 2 2 (level 1) 4 unupgraded horses, 50 Crossbowmen, 3 Monks, 8 Swordsmen, and 69 Pikemen. Shakti fled, and Sonya was left with 28 Archers, 49 Pikemen, and 3 Monks. And she moved further into the dungeon, where on day 122 Sephiroth attacked her with single units and Archery, which Sonya later learned thanks to Eagle Eye. And on day 123 in the dungeon, Shakti attacked Sonya with 8 Evil Eyes and 57 upgraded Troglodytes, but was again forced to retreat, leaving Sonya with 4 Archers and 31 Pikemen. On day 124 Sonya defeats the opponent's secondary (Dungeon) Aine, who hadn't learned Archery, which was a big surprise for the opponent. Finally, on day 126 Sonya, having replenished her mana, finished off Shakti in the capital. Thanks for the game!
p.s. unfortunately, my autosave counter glitched, and I couldn't always save games manually due to the game's dynamics. But akaWard3n has game saves.

I thought for a long time about who to take at the start. Decided on Tiraxor and didn't regret it))
14 dogs brought by the hero + external dwelling + dogs built, and that gives us 35 of them
Imp crypts are cleared and a secondary Swamp is taken
By 116 Tirax already has Air Magic
By 121 Mass Haste
On week 1: orcs, birds, bears in the Citadel and 1-3 in the Swamp + placed 1000 in the main town
On week 2: I take 2 Griffin Conservatories 2+3 and 2 Wyvern Nests 12+8 and place Wyverns in the Swamp
Also take secondary Dungeon
By 131: buy out troops and break the GO 95 somewhere upgraded Wyverns without oil, sacrificed all dogs (1 angel, 3-4 wyverns
But immediately see the opponent's respawn, 2 Griffin Conservatories. I decide to check them, they are untouched. I immediately realize things aren't great there
I take both Griffin Conservatories 2+2. Take the opponent's empty Castle. After that, attack Tazar. Victory!!
Ps Tirax brought wolves, and the wolves brought victory))
Thanks for the game!

We didn't respawn at all.
111 A horde of zombies blocks the passage under the Castle and guards the tree + a level. In the tavern, Jova and Fior are immediately available; further up the path there's an experience stone, all heroes are level 3. Fior picks up Logistics, potential main. The path reveals an external dwelling of elves. I clear it immediately.
112 I found a stable and an external market, got quite a bit of gold. I immediately tried to get to a secondary hero but there are many shooter blockers. After clearing about 2 stacks, I lost almost all Centaurs. The secondary hero is underground; upon entering the underground, I saw the path blocked by a horde of Lizardmen, turned the other way.
To the second secondary hero, there's also a shooter blocker, but there's a second passage through the trees. I barely cleared them, and then a block of 100+ Hobgoblins guarding a Pandora's Box. I immediately opened the Pandora's Box for 5k gold.
The next day, I reached a lookout point and saw.....:smile11: the road to the secondary hero goes around a mountain, with Fior having Expert Logistics and a stable it takes almost 3 days to get there.:smile35: I just send a scout hero there. Meanwhile, Tazar arrives, I decide to make him my main. I level him a bit, I see a passage to the treasure zone. On day 1, turn 3, with a supply run, I enter the treasure zone. I cleared it thoroughly, there are many Dragon Fly Hives but all small, 26 Wyverns total (lost about 6 though). In the treasure zone, I found a sword (+12 -3), boots of speed, and gloves of speed. But many small Pandora's Boxes with experience, Tazar is level 19. Going to a 2nd treasure zone. 3 more Dragon Fly Hives, in the Pandora's Boxes they give .... Liches :smile18: and I find a Chain Lightning scroll, plus in the first treasure zone a sphere for +50% dmg. to air. Chain Lightning deals 990 damage in the end. I surrender, go to fight the GO and my opponent. Opponent wanted to surrender a bit earlier, because small losses gave -morale, but I asked him to have a Final Battle. Stat advantage. And gg. Thanks to my opponent for the game!:smile02:
