[TOURNAMENT-SoD] Novice - 2020. Winter

Started playing because of the Light Boots on 111. That's where it all ended. The main problem was a complete lack of gold, just an absolute disaster. Gundula got Earth magic. On week 2, I took a mini-ulic, there were 3-4 Griffin Conservatories. I could take at most a two-stack, and even then only after leveling Oil, but it just wouldn't level up. Anyway, around week 3, the level 1 and level 2 heroes started taking Griffin Conservatories, got lucky. I gathered 5 Angels and a lot of fodder. Then I got lucky again, had very few resources, but got Town Portal right away. And then scouting showed a treasure zone KV, so I went for it. But then the trouble started—the path to it was blocked by 50+ upgraded Gorgons, guarding some face. I thought they were Gorgons. Turned out there were 90+ Gorgons, barely broke through without losing Angels. Decided to pick up the Gorgons for the level 1s, but it turned out to be a Rust Dragon's face, lost the autoresolve fight. In short, after the Rust Dragon's face, my army was 5 Angels and 1 Rust Dragon, somewhere around 135. Decided to waste a turn, picked up a Hive for fodder, and went to retake the KV for 5+ gold. During all this, I was slowly leveling Necro Nagash, but he's a bastard, didn't get Earth magic at all.
There were 2 Castles in the center, more or less close to each other. I started capturing Castles, but the heroes leveled up very poorly. Got lucky—Labetta showed up, a second hero with Earth. I captured a few Castles there, and then Hack flew in with 70 dragons and 30+ attack. And I had an army of 5 Angels and 1 Rust Dragon. Well, I started harassing his Castles. My opponent had Deesa with Tactics too. I drove her away a couple of times, but in the end, he left her in a Castle I could reach, right with some artifacts, like +2 all. Hack went for my Castles, and I captured whatever Castles I could. Because of these attacks, I leveled up Support magic little, but I did level it. Eventually, Nagash also got Earth magic. There was a moment when Hack took some of my Castles, killed my Necros without Earth, who were running around the map with 2 Angels. Things just weren't working out. There were Dragon Utopias, but I could only take them with my main, and he was recapturing Castles. Eventually, during a lull, I got a KZ from a Dragon Utopia, Wings, a Necro with Earth from a prison, and a Conflux town. Well, that gave me huge chances to win. Finished researching Air magic for the second Necro. In the end, Hack was left with 1-2 Castles, and I was Necromancing like crazy. Gathered almost 2700 Skeletons, 180 Demons, 70 dragons, 14 Angels. Gundula started collecting stat boosters. Basically, with each passing week, my chances increased. It became easy to just keep all the power on my main hero with Speed. In the end, for some reason, the opponent moved all his power to Gunnar with 10 mana. Well, I attacked him immediately with my main—100 dragons under Gunnar is not 100 dragons under Hack.
Thanks for the game!
