“Two Seasons: Winter-Spring 2015” Tournament. Online games for rating (reports, discussions).

On day 1, the main hero didn't arrive, but the resource spawn was very rich. By the end of the week, I had gathered around 20,000 gold and a lot of resources. I built stables in the Castle. There was only one road leading in one direction. I blocked the entrance to the resource spawn and jumped into the swamps towards the center. On day 117, I captured a village, and with my 9th hero, I managed to dig up Lacus. I seized the hidden elven and Kentaur outposts, and I also have an external market. On day 122, I captured the Castle from the green Inferno faction in the underground and started building a Grand Mage there. In the middle of the week, I reclaimed the Boots of Swiftness and rushed towards the pink dungeon, where I took a level 1 Consul. I didn't see any valuable items, so I went to scout and attack the second computer player. On the next turn, in the tavern, I discovered that the pink player had lost his Castle, likely due to the red player's efforts. I rushed forward and found Mulich, advancing with two Hydras (1+1). There were two more Hydras in the Castle, defending. First, I took the Castle, losing 10 Elves out of 45 and a horse. I calculated how to kill Mulich in one turn; I had Advance Haste and a ranged attack of 80. My army consisted of 2 Pegasus, 70 Kentaur, 1 Angel, 5 horses, and 34 Grand Mages, with +2 morale and +1 luck. I positioned the Elves for a direct ranged attack, and the rest of the army attacked the other Hydra. Neither morale nor luck triggered for the Hydra, leaving it with 4 HP. I gave the Grand Mages Haste, as their speed was 7, and killed the second Hydra. Mulich fled with the Hydra, which had 4 HP. On the same turn, with Vida, I picked up a scroll that granted Teleport. I built 4 Grand Mages in the Inferno Castle, and there was also a Teleport there. On the next turn, a weak hero ran into the multi-directional path from which the red player came and discovered Than with the rest of his army. Lacus had enough movement points with stables, Boots of Swiftness, and Loga, plus Haste, to reach the remaining army. There were about 50 Lizardmen, 1 Viva, and some meat. GG. Thanks for the game!
