[ТУРНИР-HotA] Hard Choice

Got lucky with a 2-ramp comp, had a greenie who took a single cons on the first, got a good snowball going, was a bit unlucky with the sizes of the cons — out of five, four were singles. Rebuilt the GP on the third try, had a resurrect, took the Dragon Utopia by buying dwarves and 6 angels with growth. Immediately got a level 5 hat, bought the grand elites, gathered the Hive and went to the opponent. After my main was taken, he surrendered. Thanks for the game!

The respawn seemed promising, when from the scout I immediately spotted a Hive next to the town. On 117, I could have placed the bears, but I made a mistake — I was short by two stones. It didn't decide much in the end, though. Scouted in opposite directions with Crag Hack and Tazar. At the start of the second week, I captured the comp's castle, and suddenly realized that in the four zones I had uncovered, there were only two Hives and one cons-double. The pace turned out quite sluggish. In the underground, I revealed another Hive and a cons, but a day later the opponent showed up and took everything. There was one promising direction left in one of the underground areas, but I didn't make it in time — Myron built Town Portal and got the hat (I only had resurrect in my castle, with neither of us having Earth magic), after which he took my main on 137. Thanks for the game, and good luck further on. :)
