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

We started playing without restarts. The spawn was great (I built phoenixes on day 1, and in the castle on week 2). After building the phoenixes, I still had 10k in reserve for buying on day 121. 2 hives (though 1 was really far), 2 nagas, excellent roads, 2 confluxes, and there was even 1 more in the underground that I had my eye on. While I was planning what to do, the opponent bursts in through a portal on week 3, but he's still far from the castle. I don't have time to move the necro—Vokial (he arrived on day 1, Galtran arrived on day 2 and even then I barely dug him up). I had to buy myself out—I buy myself off with a scout hero and an army (1 angel, 20+ skeletons, and psychics), while the necromancer flees (on 7 units). Galtran, who arrived relatively late, in the meantime breaks conflux 3 with a caravan and gets wiped out. When the opponent (Shakhti) came out of the portal, his stats were 4 4 5 1 (but in the final fight they were 4 9 5 1). The opponent didn't run away upon seeing me, captured the Black Market (bought some artifacts there—a shield I think), and positioned himself near the already cleared conflux. I attacked him with Galtran, who had 4 angels, 8 phoenixes, 40 air elementals, 350+ skeletons (fakes), and 8 psychics (he managed to cut down 100 of them with my scout hero on Tactics). The opponent had 180 Troglodytes, 20 Wyverns, 30+ beholders, 9 minotaurs, and harpies. The opponent had only 10 mana, but the main thing was he didn't have Mass Elemental. With Mass Slow I killed his entire army with minimal losses. Thanks for the game! :D
