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

We each used 2 restarts. Kyrre came up and a short road to Inferno — I decided to play. Day 1: crypt, broke through the guards, gathered what was at the respawn. Day 2: popped out to Inferno, a castle nearby, attacked, but suffered a crushing defeat :smile39: (the AI combined armies from two heroes and sat in the castle after buying hounds). Kyrre fled with 12 Gremlins and was immediately rehired at the nearby tavern, but there wasn't time for a second assault. The next day, Demons naturally appeared there, but I broke through with minor losses from what was left. Pink was eliminated, OK. I cleared everything I could and headed to the second bot, killing him on Day 7. On Day 11, I took out the horde of Magogs for the Trident of the Ocean (+7 attack, wanted to somehow compensate for losing the Gremlin stack), got Tactics from the hut, and killed the remaining dungeon. I didn't dare go after the Griffin Conservatories without oil, and the guards weren't great anyway (horde of Energy Elementals under Zephyr 1, a bunch of upgraded Priestesses under Zephyr 2, the third under Wasps but somewhere far away). On Day 15, I discovered the template has no Underground :eek: (lol, and here I was wondering why the respawns were tiny and there was nothing). OK... Realized why the roads were short... On Day 17, I entered the treasure zone with what I had, and on Day 21 started clearing it (in the tavern, meanwhile, Jeremy on Angels with stats 18 18 10 10 [roughly speaking] was already showing up). I cleared the treasure zone as much as I could by Day 24 — 2 Zephyrs, 2 Dragon Fly Hives, a couple of artifacts. On Day 25, I was theoretically going to counter a control scroll (turned out to be Implosion), but didn't manage it because the opponent showed up (roughly 24 24 16 16 — a bunch of Cyclopes, a bunch of Harpies, 4 Angels, a bunch of Pirates). On Day 26, I managed to buy off his scout hero, rehired at Inferno, where I broke through the max Griffin Conservatory and a Zephyr. On Day 27, the opponent took my main, I ran to the nearest treasure zone (which was about 10 by 15 tiles in area), checked it — nothing interesting. Decided not to drag it out and surrendered, since there was only one treasure zone left to clear, it wasn't much bigger, I'd have to go through the opponent to reach it, no way to transfer troops, no second buyback, the chances of fighting back were really slim, 6 AM.

Thanks for the game:)
