Each faction has its advantages, with master of elements you basically can spank everyone fast until middle game, as you can cast twice and your spells do x4 damage/effect (this is like casting 8 resurrect spells in one turn). + teleporters, so you can do dragon's lair with each hero every day then sell relics for mithril.

I play hell difficulty, but hardcore is off. I started the map again, same difficulty and hc off, aiming for month 3 end. Here is a picture of where I am now. Hopefully you will see it, Still didn't figure out the code that salamandre posted but this should also work.
(the picture was over the entire screen so I deleted it)

crazy, I never could think someone will go so fast. However pay attention at shrines, I suspect you will try to place tons of them same day and save time, but they will corrupt the map as the hex where the shrine is removed does not get 100% of its initial data. So I would suggest no more than 5 shrines daily and even that can be risky.

I save often, and never place shrines in objects, near water or on events. Shouldn't be a problem to place many shrines if I never return where I placed them (at least I hope it shouldn't).
Here are the screens from this run, I don't think I missed anything important so you will be able to see exactly how and when I did the major objectives.
-phasis: 50/50 fight if he gets 2 morales you lose (6 familiars and lightning bolt)
-gerwolf: bolt the dragons and confuse first round, bolt the shooters second, third bolt again, at that point I don't think you can lose
-ajit: don't do it with a god, I did and it's not complicated but it takes forever and 1 mistake loses the fight(I lost it 10 times from missclicks, the trick is fire wall the god and bless,shield,anti fire,stoneskin the devils (fire imuniti ok (I didn't have it) but fearless is a must)
-Daremyth: pure luck, if I had 80AD i would be able to do it reliably but with 50 its a gamble, reload until get 5 chain lightnings (10-15% kinda tedious but not that long, it takes around 30sec per try, often you lose first round)
-also when they have black dragon power stack I used hypnosis to kill them with his troops, harpies and beholders are the best for that

If you play the last version, there are significant changes like Dragons lair giving now every battle a relic, before it was 30% chance. But it takes away 2000 movement points/battle (before it was 1000).

yes I play the last version, the fact that hatred can be off (hardcore off) and that the first two utopias are balanced is great. Probably won't use dragon lair so that change won't affect me.

Yeah many people complained that map can't be always rushed because of hatred so I put it in hardcore option. Personally I liked it as it made battles less predictable.

Well, in Hell difficulty AI gets big growth in stats, starting with 3rd month. In hell, Ajit must be done early 3rd month and all map must be finished before month 7 (optimal). You are already month 6 and battling Ajit, will not work. Try intermediate difficulties until you are able to finish map in 6 months, thats Hell goal.

I don't want to rush, i want big army and smashing magic effects, but what bonuses I will miss in hell mode?

7 months is not rushing, 4 months is. And yes, hell has a few bonuses, but is also harder, only in hell you can have attack all around, mines gives x2 gold is devils guards. I don't remember well as I never played lower, but even in hell you have plenty of times to finish it - granted you always keep Commodus on the road forward next objective while lieutenants do the banks, there are huge movement bonuses.

Pff, I can't finish it under 5 months and even at 6 I have a heart stroke at some battles. I hate when players turn the mapmaker into ridicule.

@Sal, players may have found another secret options of advancing,which you don't see clearly yet.
I haven't played the map for a long time,but I remember at least some of the discussions here where valuable options are exploited.

Quite hard to say while having only the minimap as reference but it looks like after unlocking blue tent (the guy with cyclopes), you didn't find the blue gate. From the 3 castle town you get (near masters of logistic/mysticism) there is a path south where you can cast water walk/summon boat and proceed further. Look nearby the two masters, there is a shipwreck and a free spot from where to embark.
