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

From the start without archers, but there was an external dwelling for them near the Castle. The expected hero didn't appear, so I decided to go Necromancy. On day 114, I ran into my native computer opponent that Valya himself attacked with 21 archers + meat shield with a ballista and magic. I was a bit taken aback but managed. By day 117, I found the only pile of wood—and it was only 5. I had to build a marketplace at home and exchange all my resources to build Cavalry at the opponent's. In the end, I had Griffins + Swordsmen at home, while the opponent had Cavalry at the Citadel. I raised some Skeletons, scouted 2 Griffin Conservatories and a Dragon Fly Hive. On the 2nd month, I started gathering everything. On day 126, Shakhter emerged from the Underground and captured the main Castle + two Naga Banks nearby. I gathered 6 Ducks + 3 + 2 Angels + a Pandora's Box of 25 Griffins from the Conservatories and the Hive. Shakhter didn't stop and rushed to the remaining Castle. Xi was already an Expert of Air and Earth, with Mass Haste, Stone Skin, and Shield. I figured I had more power even though I was behind in stats, so I decided to go for Force Field. I split my main force and with secondary heroes collected Shackles + Necklace + Speed in the Underground. Medusas took out 1 Angel with moral boosts. I delivered everything and attacked with the Bracers. In the final battle, the power advantage decided it. Xi: 6 Ducks, 4 Angels, 18 Crossbowmen, 40 Archers, 250 Skeletons, 30 Griffins, 5 Cavalry vs. Shakhter: 4+1+1+1 Griffins, 4 Angels, 180 Troglodytes, 43 Gaze Eyes. His stats were higher, but I had more power, and that decided it.
Thanks for the game!
