Banished the purple wizard easily.
I had Prayer which has the same effect as Guardian - thanks to that and my Sorcery summons I was able to stop most counterattacking stacks. I still lost 3 cities, but only 3 which is fairly good considering the scale of attacks. Most of these coming while the AI was banished also helped. I wonder, it might be a good idea to prevent the AI from launching attacks while banished? Probably not, as a strong enough AI will be able to force the player to use up all their mana on defending, and when they return, start winning battles as the player is out of resources.
The AI had Wave of Despair, Supreme Light and Demon Lord, if they had more territory, this could have been a difficult or even losing game - a less experienced player could have traded away Astral Gate, allowing this AI to claim half of Myrror. Fortunately they had no spells to stop a hero stack - again, a less experienced player might have traded their dispelling wave away, which in this scenario can turn the game around completely.
Cleaning the map from remaining enemy cities took some time but wasn't hard.
I probably won't have time to start the next game today.
