I'm playing in a tournament for the first time; I've never fought on fixed maps before. After studying the map and the tournament rules, I realized that blue has an advantage because it gets the Armor of Wonder on day 3 (red only gets it on day 4), so the Black Dragon will most likely go to blue. As compensation for this, I perceived the victory condition for red as quite difficult to achieve – to play until day 227. I had never managed to reach day 227 in any game before. It was even interesting to see if I could do it this time. The rules didn't prohibit winning this way, and I assumed that the maps had already been well-tested and that many games had been played on them. I also believed that my opponent had studied the map (we agreed on it several days before the game) and knew its features. Therefore, starting from day 115, I essentially adopted a defensive strategy. Without a specific victory condition from that day on, I would have played completely differently.
If Uran had played as red and defeated me in this way, I wouldn't have seen anything wrong with it and would have confirmed his victory.

I won't punish Uran for his own mistakes.
Dear Adelaide, but why are you punishing me for your mistakes?

It's a pity that the rules of the game are being changed after it's over. However, the tournament organizer's decision is the law for me.
