“Two Seasons: Summer-Autumn 2014” Tournament. Online games for rating (reports, discussions).

The map provided a starting castle with a dragon lair, a lookout tower, and a stable. There was only one road leading to the exit portal, but a path to the computer was visible. On day 1, I merged into 60+ golems (I decided to breed ballistas), and I'm very grateful for the auto-merge feature. On day 2, I built dragons and took 2 stables. On day 3, I only reached the opponent's starting castle, where I found a difficult path around the castle. Then, I explored with scouts, and I didn't dare attack the castle with archers on level 13 without combat magic. I spent another 3 weeks running around. The enemy didn't give up, despite the difficult start and the loss of archers, and only the lack of map control combined with the sight of Kairic and scouts running back and forth led to my defeat.
*This was my first time playing with the scouting skill - I really enjoyed it.
Thank you for the hardcore game!
