Their speed is only 1 higher. Master.
Well, you’re definitely exaggerating. Lizard Warriors have a base speed of 5, +1 from their territory, and +1 from Witsan’s Lizard specialization. That’s a total of 7. And for extra protection, it’s best to take 1 Serpent to make the Gnomes chase it while you shoot at them. In general, Lizard Warriors are one of the best tier 2 units.

By the way, does the gaze of the Gorgons not affect elementals either?

Also, the following factors are important for determining the "fragility" of a structure: -) Wistan -) type of surface - swamp; -) presence of a blessing (I never managed to get Wistan a blessing on the first level, unless it was a guild in the secondary level, but this depends on the starting conditions and the template). In principle, a slightly improved Wistan (preferably with an attack artifact) with a blessing on a swamp, fighting against upgraded lizards, deals damage like a level 3 unit.

Return? Well, there are two tactics that are quite often used online.
1. Splitting. It's done like this: troops are taken from the main hero, he attacks someone (who won't immediately destroy him) and runs away. After that, he redeploys in the desired castle (not necessarily the starting one), acquires, for example, a book or a spell that doubles mana, or something else, troops are delivered to him in a chain, and he continues playing.
2. The main hero takes a secondary castle on his last turn. (Furthermore: very often, but this is not directly related to the topic: a tavern is bought, the hero redeploys in it and either runs to return troops, or to recapture something, or simply to grab resources and scout the territory). The main hero gains speed, and on the next day, a guild and a book are bought. Problems: you need to build a tavern, a guild, and a market at the same time, and also set up a town guard. And if the secondary castle is your starting castle, then you really want to manage to build a Wyvern Tower in the first week. Well, and the main problem is resources, primarily wood!, and also gold.

So, in general, I agree with you; I also almost never manage to equip a Swamp creature with a book in the first week...

Later, when playing online, time seems to be of the essence, and you start thinking differently, which is surprising when you see in a video that a hero without a spellbook (and it's a Vestan spellbook, so he clearly has nothing better to do) enters some kind of magical object, only to be told, "You're free to go, you don't have a spellbook." Do people playing online not have time to remember that the hero doesn't have a spellbook at that moment?

Let's say if the object is on the road, it saves movement points. Plus, it might be useful for scouting; if you don't have the necessary spell, it's good to know where you can find it.

Damn, I want to ask some questions about playing as Fortress in a specific situation, but for that, I need to upload save files, and it's hard to explain the situation without them. Sorry for the slight, unavoidable off-topic, but how can I do that?

It's very simple! Put the save file in a .zip archive, then to reply in the post, click "Advanced Mode," and there, in the top row after the size and font color, there's a "paperclip" icon. Click on it, then "Browse," select the file, and click "OK."

Thanks for the technical tip =)
So, here goes.
Questions are as follows:
1. Could this situation have been resolved in any way when starting on such a terrible respawn (Yes, there are 2 crypts, but both are minimal)?
2. Was it legitimate for my opponent to pass through to me on week 2 via the weak guard located not far from ГО?

Swamp - one of the weaker factions. Weak magic, frail units. In short, not very impressive.

Superficially, very superficially.
I'll play devil's advocate, but I'll still shock you. Swamp is one of the strongest factions. Lizardmen are among the best creatures at level 2; Mighty Gorgons are the best at level 5, unequivocally, even Minotaurs can't compare; Wasilisks are quite above average, and there's also the hero Bron; Dragonflies are the fastest from levels 1-5 + weakness and dispel, this ability is constantly used; the teleport ability of the Hydra has been discussed 10,000 times, and the heroes are also strong, like Tazar and Bron.
This is also quite superficial (I don't have much online experience, but I'd like to...), my statements aren't very profound, but it's definitely not the weakest faction, but a very strong one. It's just not always convenient, and you also need to know how to play. So there's no point in blaming the mirror.

P.S. I wonder, is Mephala banned in tournaments?

Of course not. Why would they? There's Kreg. There's Tazar. There's Galtran. They are quite good competitors and alternatives.

Probably the original post that was being quoted was very old.

Yes, indeed. Almost 5 years. My mistake, I won't do it again, honestly.

They don't ban, of course. Why would they? There's Crag. There's Tazar. There's Galtran. They are quite good competitors and alternatives.
I just heard that in online tournaments, Tazar is sometimes banned, presumably because of his armor. And Mephala has the same specialization. That's what made me think.

I just heard that Tazara is sometimes banned from online Tournaments for his armor, I suppose. And Mephala has the same specialty. That's what made me think about it.

What is the Hydra teleport spell?
It's a third-level spell from the water school.
The teleported Hydra, appearing in the middle of enemy troops, has been a source of terror since the second installment of the series, and archers simply panic at the sight of it.

How can you build Wyverns in the first week if you need 15 units of wood, and the lumber mill produces 2 units per day? It takes 8 days to gather 15 units. Or are the resources scattered across the map taken into account? And if there aren't any? It's not that easy to build Wyverns without wood.
