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

Start is brisk — 2 columns of Griffin Conservatories, will go for gold. Around day 5, I took a Rampart town from the AI, a Citadel in the village. On day 1, I placed the first birds in the Citadel with a buyout on 121 (I traded), mines with a log and basic earth, on 122-123 two Hives for a total of 8, a single Griffin Conservatory (3 minimal objects :confused: ). By the end of the week, I took the swamp, bought the unsold ducks there from the AI, headed toward the opponent, though it was 3 in the morning and I didn't bother much about mana, of which there were only 7, primarily due to a good army. As for the bad, there were hardly any artifacts except for a cheater's trinket on morale and a +4 shield. On 126, the blue player breaks in and kills a dozen of my fish at the loh.

On 127, I break into the blue player's territory, chase off a couple of heroes, then on my turn, they attack
Crag Hack:
15 3 3 5 (40) 12 hydras 44 dogs 1 angel 3 bears 4 ogres, +1 speed, expert offense, defense, earth, advanced air;
Shakti: advanced attack, expert earth, base air without haste.
6 11 2 4 (7) 5 birds 4 angels 20+1+1+1+1 ducks.

Due to Crag Hack's expert defense, I couldn't take down the angel with birds, but despite the lack of mana, the battle is easily won with a remainder of 14 ducks and their subsequent upgrade on 131...

Thanks for the game.
