From the start, Buckwheat, lots of goblins, everything was quite easily breakable. With the birds, I cleared an external dwelling of orcs.
Gurni picks up armor and air magic.
Checked the first secondary hero in the underground, and on the other side there are Grand Elves, we move on.
On the second secondary hero on the grass, 50-99 Centaurs, I chain-transfer and attack with Buckwheat, and there are A HUNDRED of them with Haste. They kill me completely; this happened around turn 115. I had to sacrifice the ransom of Buckwheat with artifacts for the sake of the bears. Good thing at least the ballista was on Gurni.
After that, I try to gather money, scrounging leftover growth, trying to clear treasure chests. Gurni with the ballista and single creatures collects piles of gold. The only consolation is having some money and a Grove of two Hives in one corner of the spawn (the third in another corner).
On turn 117, I break through to the grass mainly with the ballista, and there is a block of Elves. I gather and exchange everything I can, and with incredible effort, the bears are recruited.
On turn 121, I ransom two heroes and bring them to Gurni's secondary. There, over two days, I take two Crypts (max and near-max), then Medusa creatures, and take the Fluxo-secondary.
I split up to go home, then head for the Hives. They fall without major issues; along the way, I also clear a helmet for +5 knowledge. After the Dragon Fly Hives at the spring, I double my mana (140).
I split back to the secondary hero, since there's a Griffin Conservatory, which turns out to be Level 1.
I crawl into the treasure zone underground. In the entire treasure zone, there is only one Hive (mini), armor for +10 spell power behind a pack of Giants with Haste. I eat everything I can and emerge from the other side of the treasure zone onto my underground secondary hero. There are a couple of Naga banks, a Hive in the corner.
I exit into another treasure zone; I suspected it was his native one, and it turned out to be true.
There, the loot was better — I cleared two external dwellings of bears, took the Dragon Fly Hives, picked up some artifacts, and entered a Dragon Utopia. It gave me a Fifth-Level Cap, a Book of Fire. Right then, I raised a Book of Air. I got lucky with a Pandora's Box — all Fourth-Level spells. At the end, I took a Gladius from 100+ Rogue Cows, and the ducks nibbled a bit.
I did some craning with splitting and transporting troops out of the treasure zone, but the opponent didn't cover me.
I upgraded the bears, doubled my mana, and ran to the opponent, first to a secondary hero, then to the main one.

Tazar 13-19-5-(96) Tazar: 6 Hydras, 20 Rogue Cows, 60 Ducks, 30 Basiliks, 20 Rogue Medusas, 74 Rogue Lizardmen, 3 Angels
Gurni 30-6-15-(113) 12 Ancient Behemoths, 37 Ducks, 1 Angel, misc. Hounds and Goblins.
The opponent defends behind walls, stacks everything together — I cast Meteor Shower for 425.
There's Mass Shield, then Mass Slow, Stone Skin; on the third turn, the opponent charges out to attack, then piles everything on the Behemoths but only kills 4. Explosion and everything into the ducks — 20-something remain. I pull back with Meteor Shower and Explosion for 1300, killing the remaining meat.
Thanks for the game!
