Performed very poorly in terms of income, but on the second week, I upgraded pets at the computer and started demonizing. By the third week, I had 100 demons and 30 ducks, but no artifacts with stats. I saw a Utopia in the center, but the opponent surrendered. GG.

It performed very poorly in terms of resources, but on the second week, I upgraded the pits near the Castle and started summoning demons. By the third week, I had 100 demons and 30 ducks, but not a single stat-boosting artifact. I saw a Utopia in the center, but my opponent surrendered.
GG

Everything was going well: a hidden stash of archers and creatures (on the second day, I found another hidden stash of horses, but it was far away), a couple of gnomes, a couple of imps, a pepper, a maxicon, and my main Castle - a swamp. Tamika joined. A fairy tale :smile54:. The only thing missing for complete happiness is a stable. I immediately broke into zone 19, where I found boots, more peppers, a cloak +2 strength/magic/knowledge, and a Utopia. The only problem was that I messed up the building on the first day, but luckily, the archers were still there. Horses in the Citadel. On the second day, angels in the Castle. I'm leveling up both Valya and Tamika. Valya immediately learned and mastered Air Magic. I gathered bases for Tamika: armor, logistics, air magic, earth magic. I rescued Vistan from the dungeon, level 10: Expert Armor, Archery, Logistics, Advanced Weapon, Ballistics.
The Castle turned out to be far away; I only reached it on day 131. Along the way, I found a shield +4 and killed Brok with 5 ducks. And then came a major fail: I didn't have enough movement points to enter the Castle, but I could have easily rushed :smile22:. On day 132, I bring 3 angels and finally attack. There's a Castle and -38 archers :( Then, a maxicon with a loss of 2 horses. About 200 skeletons. And then, near the second Utopia, a Miner appears out of nowhere with 100 goats and 20+ ducks. The stats are roughly equal. I go with Vistan into the nearest Utopia - maximum level. Vistan has a defense of 13, but they somehow took him down quickly (attack is only 2) :confused:. GG. Maybe I should have engaged, but I don't know what would have happened after the Utopia...

Thanks for the game.

Had 4 cons in starting area. After taking 3 for 8 angels I took a clop stockpile with lvl 1 gurni. Gave log, earth and tacs and since clavius got terrible skills and I had a horde clop kings as block I changed main. Took the last con with gurni that gave 3 angels. Then went out at 127. Beat the blocks to opponents start area and went for the hive area. Opponent ran after me and I attacked him the next turn and won clearly. Thanks for playing.

I haven't seen that many in 5 generations :D. It's all about balance. Thanks for playing.

Opponent surrendered on their 212. Thanks for the game!

I played against the opponent's double, I have a swamp computer, which is even better than a double for Inferno. Start on the surface, level 2 built. At respawn, 2 external dwellings of demons, an external dwelling of pit fiends + an orb for 50% air damage. Adjacent zone to the center on lava, there is a Dragon Utopia and an observatory. I started very well, by the end of the week after clearing the computer I was already scouting the center.
On the second week I took both central towns and needed to take 3 hives in the visible zone, but Pyre stubbornly wouldn't give earth. I couldn't think of anything better than leveling Grindan, but there were few options for what to use. I fought a very sad battle, attacking 100+ water elementals with him, who got Haste and decided to defend around it, but I still experted earth magic and managed to kill the difficult guards of the hives. The opponent still hadn't shown up by the end of the second week. By the end of the second week I had 2 level 4 scrolls, Armageddon and Resurrection, and also started leveling Eislinn.
At the start of the third week I get GM4 and in it - Armageddon + Resurrection:smile20:
On the third week I was clearing the central treasure zone with the Inferno town and at the end of the week Eislinn was beaten into the main hero and I sent her to the Dragon Utopia in the adjacent zone (I needed money to upgrade the stack of efreets), after which I wanted to go to the opponent.
On 137 the opponent runs out into the center. On 141 I check the Dragon Utopia - 3, at this point it is a difficult fight for me, as I cannot bring meat units for feeding due to lack of money. Also on this turn I could have reached Gunnar with all my power and had a chain set up to upgrade the efreets and return back.
Gunnar had 70+ upgraded eyes, 5 angels, 16 efreets, and some small units. I had 35 efreets, 50 demons, and small units. I didn't dare to attack, which turned out to be a mistake in the end, because later I simply didn't get such a chance.
I entered the Dragon Utopia, had to take it through Resurrection - it gives a Black Orb, a gold bag, and a hat for 10 knowledge, and I'm left with no mana.
On my 141 the opponent runs towards the pink and violet computers.
Here I made the wrong decision, and he fooled me very well. I checked the saves - he had Basic Wisdom + Basic Earth and had GM4 with Town Portal. In the middle of the 4th week he took a computer town and through a double split learned Town Portal at home. And I spent half a week stupidly chasing him across the entire map. As a result, I didn't corner him, and he also got Dimension Door in GM5, recaptured one town in the central treasure zone, and appeared there. Obviously, chasing a mage against Gunnar with stats growing every turn, Town Portal, and Dimension Door is a waste of time.
Well played, thanks for the game.

The elves didn't have much luck with their faction.
Thank you for the game.

I confirm,
thanks for the game.

They completely abandoned their previous strategy and moved on. Labeta entered the GM game slowly, but with a road and ranged units targeting her, she had to take a path without a road. As a result, she only managed to place units 1, 2, and 3 in the fort. However, she captured a swamp village with lizardmen and activated the swamp artifact, targeting the main opponent at level 117 with a clever strategy. In the end, she had 50+ lizardmen against level 121, fully traded for an upgrade, and rushed to unexplored territories. There was nothing to fight, as all units were ranged, except for upgraded unique units guarding a prison and a shameful tower. She decided to attack 25 of them and barely managed to defeat them, then continued to collect resources. The next day, she opened the prison and found Vidomina, level 20 or 25, with earth, air, and water magic. She engaged her in a battle for the key to the castle and the djinn. In general, she already had control at level 125 or 126. Then, she flew to the treasure room, where she found the Key of the Underworld and the Utopian artifact, both guarded by hydras. She took the Key of the Underworld, checked the Utopian artifact, and left, taking a helmet with +12 knowledge and replenishing her mana. The next day, she took the Utopian artifact, which had a spell power bonus, but more importantly, a lot of gold. All this was done with 45 lizardmen and 20 water elementals. Then, she bought upgrades and continued to clear the treasure room, where she found a sword with +5 to all stats and a necklace of the same type. After that, she attacked the main opponent and caught up with him the next day on the map. Thank you for the game!

Well, I decided to attack with 25 units, barely managed to win, and then I ran off to collect more resources. The next day, I opened the dungeon and found Vidomina, level 20 or 25, with Earth, Air, and Magic skills. So, I went to attack her to get the Key of the Void.

2.10.2. Izra and Vidomina, who have acquired the Expert Magic skill through a method other than that specified in section 2.10.1, can only attack neutral monsters if they subsequently surrender or pay a ransom. They are not allowed to use the War Shackles artifact.
2.10.3. Izra and Vidomina, released from the dungeon with Expert Magic, can be used without restrictions during the day they were obtained. Subsequently, the use of these heroes is limited by section 2.10.2.
Was Vidomina without Expert Magic?
Cool guys explained everything to me, I'll keep it in mind. The question is resolved.)

Are you referring to a bug or an unsuccessful version of the mod? Please clarify. Many people are quick to offer opinions without fully understanding the situation.
