Opp took 2 or 3 resets, then a layout with an Angel Portal appeared and I decided to try playing it.
111 - lots of money, see a portal and two monk nests, branched out to five heroes;
112-114 - cleared respawn, bought Tyrax on 114, portal is guarded by a demon horde, can't break through on the first one;
115-116 - broke through along the road, there's a stable, ГО - 100+ Minotaur Kings, there's an adjacent zone to grass and into the swamp;
117 - finally placed angels in the fort, revealed a Griffin Conservatory on the grass;
121-125 - cleared respawn, plus upgrades, broke through to the swamp and grass, where there was a Dragon Utopia (turned out to be max, and the only one I had the entire game);
126 - a big fail on my part and minus one angel when breaking through a pile of Pits (for a Pandora's Box and a monk nest), then broke the demons and took the portal, bought another angel, back to 2:rolleyes: ;
127 - on the grass there turned out to be another Castle, took it and an archer nest;
131 - saw the opp's scout hero jump to me via Teleport, broke through a group of Zealots and went to check it out with Labetha;
132 - Labetha ended up in an underground treasure zone, saw a Golden Bow behind a pile of Vampire Lords, a Necklace +3all, a Pandora's Box behind a pile of Champions, and a prison, Tyrax checked the Griffin Conservatory (2-4) didn't go in;
133 - Naga Bank, then Griffin Conservatory (2), already 6 angels, go in with Tyrax for the bow, Labetha went to the grass where the opp was jumping from. Main hero leveled well, expert Tactics, Offense, Logistics, advanced Air and Archery (just in time for the bow);
134 - took the bow from the vampires, then killed a horde of upgraded cows for the necklace, pulled out Verdish level 10 from prison and went further into the treasure zone, war with opp's scout heroes continues, I reveal scouting - opp has a Conflux secondary;
135 - took a shield +6 behind a horde of ogres, war with opp's scout heroes continues;
136 - opp reveals a Necropolis, with Tyrax I see a Gladius and a Griffin Conservatory behind a horde of Wizards, I transfer 4 angels to Pir for the war with scouts (this was the biggest fail) and leave her exposed. Tant (10+ Monks, 250+ Skeletons, 20+ Lizardmen) arrived but didn't kill Pir (I thought he didn't have enough movement, turns out the opp spared me, his scout hero could reach her);
137 - running back to Tyrax, with whom I take the Gladius and Griffin Conservatory (2);
141-142 - buying angels, I position Tyrax on the Dragon Utopia;
143 - max Dragon Utopia, only 12 angels survived, gave КЗ, Wings, and a Cap +4 to Attack and Knowledge. Clavius appears in the tavern with stats (except Attack) higher than mine, and the opp has control;
144-145 - took the Cloak of Disavowal from near my town just in case, and with 7 angels and 6 Archangels went into the underground, where another treasure zone was revealed;
146-147 - in the treasure zone there's a Library, plus behind a pile of Reds there's an Earth booster (just right for КЗ). From the overview I see the opp is in his treasure zone above;
211-213 - decided to go at the opp, since there was no point in waiting any longer and no money either))) And there the Skeletons were piling up:( ;
214 - took the opp's Conflux and sat there with all my might;
215 - broke through the road to the opp's town in the swamp but couldn't reach it, after that another fail - couldn't cast Town Portal to the Conflux because I didn't leave any movement. But Clavius doesn't attack, hiding in the underground nearby;
216 - visited a tree, leveled up and got expert Wisdom))) Sat in the town, without equipping the Cloak of Disavowal.
Clavius attacks.
FB: Tyraxor 35 14 15 13 (130) 8 Archangels, 9 Angels, 121 Marksmen, 22 Zealots, 50+ Pokemons, 15 Swordsmen; Clavius 24 23 17 19 (472) 26 Monks, 11 upgraded Wraiths, 108 Lizardman Warriors, 900+ Skeletons, single Serpent Flies + Elixir.

Blocked my shooters with Tactics (Marksmen to one side, Zealots to the other), Implosion (1800+) almost killed all the Monks, then started shooting the Lizardmen. My units got good morale in the battle, next Implosion hits the Skeletons, hit me with Curse, wiping out my shooters. Opp has only Skeletons left, on which he cast Anti-Magic, but Mass Haste - removing retaliation - Angels with Archangels and morale:) hit the Skeletons, 150 remain, finish them next turn. GG

Thanks for the game!

P.S.: FB date: 216, I made a mistake in the report.

111 – spread out into 5 heroes, Ciele arrived (and immediately thought of trying to rush), there's an experience pillar and a stable under the castle, a passage to the secondary area is visible on the right through a crowd of water elementals, upon clearing the path I picked up a scroll with DD:);
112 – GO – a horde of Pit Lords, cleared the water elementals, took the secondary Castle, there's also a Monk's dwelling nearby, and near the GO – a passage to a grass respawn through a horde of wolves, already 8 heroes, Monere arrived;
113-115 – picked up a chain +4 to Attack, Ciele took the Monk's dwelling, Monere, clearing a passage from above the secondary area, killed a crowd of Dwarves guarding a scroll (which I picked up much later and it turned out to be Meteor Shower:)), above the roadless area there's a swamp treasure and a Pandora's Box on the grass behind a horde of Vampires;
116-117 – broke through the wolves to another respawn, took the third Castle + an Archer's dwelling, another experience pillar, Ciele is already Expert Water, Monere picked up Earth magic, at home – Haste in the Citadel, in the two secondary areas only Archers;
121-124 – cleaning the respawn, boosting heroes through stables, and Ciele ran to the Pandora's Box behind the Vampires, while Monere leveled up Earth magic. Built three guilds, and only the third gave Slow, had to split up there and learn Slow with Monere;
125 – Ciele killed the Vampires (60+ with an upgraded stack), gave 10k experience, leveled up to Expert Earth and Intelligence (now 140 mana);
126 – prepared my mains to breach the GO (have Oil, the Mage Guild lvl 4 for Meteor Shower will be finished next turn) + there's hope to reach the opponent's Castle with Monere;
127 – Ciele attacks the GO (85 Pit Lords), going down with a scout hero (since earlier I saw the opponent's heroes mostly running from below) and see a Citadel with Harpies and Fairies, transfer troops to Monere, he, on the way killing an opponent's scout hero, captures the Castle, Ciele also splits up there and sits with all the troops and remaining mana (just under 100). The Mage Guild lvl 4 also gave Resurrection;
131 – scouted the opponent's respawn with vision, saw a Mace +5 to Attack and a Shield +5 to Defense not far from the Castle; picked them up. Opponent doesn't surrender, earlier I saw Crag Hack jumping through a teleport near my third Castle and even then he had Angels;
132 – found a scroll guarded by a crowd of Magi on the opponent's respawn with TP:), now mobility has increased immensely;
133 – Crag Hack appeared with Angels, Behemoths, 10+ Wyverns, and a crowd of Horned Demons, but an opponent's scout hero with 2 Behemoths and 2 Angels attacked my scout hero with 30 Pikemen and a few Wolves, who had moved to the opponent's adjacent zone. The battle ended with the opponent's buyback!! (since the Ice Bolt dealt 70 damage and could kill an Angel on the third turn, although the opponent still had a Behemoth attack on 13 Pikemen + a spell, but he decided not to risk it);
134 – Crag Hack reaches his Castle (in which I had already bought out almost everything) and sits there;
135 – Monere, killing three of the opponent's scout heroes (and Charney had two Behemoths and a crowd of Horned Demons, which Crag Hack for some reason didn't take, she managed to buy back with 1 Behemoth and 7 Demons), splits into the native Castle, while Ciele goes to assault the Citadel.
136 – FB: Ciele 9 8 8 9 (180) 104 Marksmen, 2 Behemoths, 16 Swordsmen, a few Goblins and Wolves, 8 Horses and 6 upgraded Birds from the Citadel, Crag Hack 12 7 3 6 (60) 2 Angels, 13 Wyverns, 5 non-upgraded Birds, 1 Behemoth and 7 Horned Demons (if I'm not mistaken). First turn Meteor Shower on the Birds and Wyverns, all Birds died, Wyverns 9 it seems, then closed in with Marksmen and shot + magic (Ice Bolt + Shower). GG

Thanks for the game!

raked everything over, on 111 I probe a respawn — nothing decent, I dive into the adjacent respawn through Centaurs, lose all my meat and 40+ Demons, fled into 6 heroes
112. I bring up Demons, head toward a neutral town, on the way I kill a group of Centaurs, goblins, a group of Gremlins, and right before the town (Conflux) there are spearmen guarding a level 3 spell scroll, nothing to fight with, I step off the road to clear chests and resources, at my own respawn I reveal an Efreeti and Devil spawn point (behind Wizards + Peasants)
by 117 I grabbed Conflux, got wiped, took the Efreeti spawn point, spotted a Dragon Utopia and 2 Dragon Fly Hives but by a VERY long detour, I decide to go into the underground through water elementals
on week 2 I grabbed Necropolis in the underground, burned a Shield +4 with Red Dragons, didn't take a single Dragon Fly Hive, not a single Griffin Conservatory, but boosted stats from various buildings, took a Pandora's Box for 10k experience > expert Logistics and advanced Earth (and earlier I took Papal Water)
on week 3 I get wiped, grab a Shield +4 all, go down clearing 2 Dragon Fly Hives, burn a Chest for a group of Devils, go further, take a Sword +6 attack, grab a Dungeon, double my mana (ran without mana for 2 weeks).
on week 4 I grab a Chest, take a Pandora's Box for gold, another 2 small Dragon Fly Hives, no Dragon Utopia in sight (except a VERY distant one), by 147 I get wiped, kill Wizards, take the Devil spawn point, build them in the town, i.e. the next day 6 Devils.
211 — month of Devils +5, but not enough gold to buy them all, I decide to attack through GO Efreeti(89), stats 29 18 15 13, weapon, armor, tactics, Earth, Logistics, Water, Wisdom, expert Air, 10 Devils, 18 group Efreeti, 30 Swarms. I lose 2 Devils and 3 Swarms there, move deeper into the opponent's respawn, don't see the town, pass the turn > opponent surrenders, he had no control (and neither did I), in terms of army maybe the advantage wasn't that big, but stats were the deciding factor 100%, thanks for the game

Record it.
