so, unfortunately, I lost =(

version 1.3.0, difficulty - I chose Warrior for starters.
In the first week, the AI retook both garrisons, then a long tactical war began, because I thought it could only attack the city by going through its central garrison, near which it was constantly stationed. Well, then I made a clever move and locked the Companion in the center, thus buying time, then I captured the center and all the Towers + visited 3 out of 4 artifact locations. I decided to end the game, because it turned out that the AI was already in trouble, but it was stuck in an impassable wall.
Then I wanted to capture my outposts (the ones that were mine at the beginning of the game), but I ran into a Cloud-Swarm. After that, it turned into Legions. And this is only the end of the second month of the game. I know, probably, the problem is that I played too much, now the troops in the outpost grow by 300% per week (from 8 to 24 thousand immediately).
And I can imagine what the army in the center looks like, based on my own outpost, there will soon be millions.

But the map is great.

Perhaps creatures of other levels could also be used as new guards. And the upgrade could be made random.

We need new guards in the captured garrisons, because there are only levels 6 and 7 there :(

Upgrades shouldn't be random. For example, the difference between the upgrades for Mages, Archers, and Marksmen is significant. Either make it random only for those that are more or less equal.

As practice shows above, there are already many of them :(
Perhaps reduce levels 6 and 7, but add levels 5 and 4.

Okay, but randomness would add some spice and an element of surprise...

Added after 38 minutes
I made it, looked at it, it seems to be working fine for now.

The growth is only 25%.

Okay, if that's the case, I currently control the entire map, and the AI only has one city left + a tear, but I guess I won't be able to catch up with its growth rate.
I think it should be added to the map description that it needs to be completed quickly, or give the player a chance not to lose to the central garrison.

How, without randomness???

With randomness!

I played as "Hero" against the AI and finished the game in 12 days. I encountered the main AI player on the third day, and after giving him a good beating, victory became a matter of time. I captured the garrisons on the 2nd, 8th, 9th, and 10th days.
After taking the first garrison, I foolishly rushed towards the enemy city and suffered a crushing defeat – the approach was blocked. I had to read the forum and understand the trick.
The map is truly designed for multiplayer and two Homo_sapiens, playing against the AI is boring.
Although, it's quite good as a mental exercise. :)
