Had to restart twice, ended up with 2 external dwellings of cats and a level 1 Griffin Conservatory next to the castle. In the first 3 days I flagged both external dwellings, portaled the cats to the castle, and picked up the Conservatory. There were practically no Dragon Fly Hives on the explored territory (Only 2 hives that were realistically reachable in any way). But there were plenty of Pandora's Boxes, which I collected until the start of week 2. The miner leveled Earth magic, and one of the cleared huts gave Armorer, so my main turned out almost perfect, except that on one of the level-ups I was offered Resistance and something else worse. I wanted to go out on 123, but on the same day I spotted Boots of Speed and a Mace ( Shakti's attack seemed lacking to me), so I decided to build a chain to pick up those artifacts. On 124, I burst into the center at full speed (ГО gremlin cats, softened up the meat and broke the ballista), on the way found a pot of gold for 14 red and 3 black dragons (finished off the remnants of the off-eating) and captured the central castle nearby (Rampart) (built a Mage Guild and sat down to replenish mana). Next turn, I defeated a scout hero with a View Earth scroll, hired them at Rampart, passed the scroll to the miner, and saw that most of the center was stretched upwards, meaning that for the opponent to reach the juiciest parts, they would have to go through me. I took advantage of this, hired as many heroes as possible, and began scouting. Thus, I consumed almost the entire center, collected the Sword of Justice from the utopias, a necklace +3 all, a shield +4 all, a red orb, one Pandora's Box with over 100 pits gave 3 gold dragons, 60 gold nagas yielded a box with 10 units, and 40 hydras gave yet another 3 gold dragons. Meanwhile, the opponent was eating their own respawn and didn't push toward the central castle. On 137, after breaking through one of the opponent's ГО, I cast Dimension Door and, with Flight, ran to their castle. On 141, I captured the castle, bought a bunch of scout heroes, killed their scout heroes, scouted the territory for a nearby main (It turned out they were sitting with their entire army in a secondary hero) and ran to meet them. On 142, the opponent attacked me themselves (Shakti: 32-34-27-23 with Crown; Tyraxor: 27-22-16-21). A huge army on Shakti, Tyraxor without defense... Thanks for the game!
