SoY-1: Online Tournaments "Seasons of year" - "Seasons of the Year" - Spring Season 2007

Looking at the map in the editor, I noticed that the opponent's passages to the second Castle were not guarded, while I had to fight several groups of the 3rd tier... (And after reviewing it again after the game, I saw that there were 3 obelisks on half of the blue side, while I didn't have a single one....) Due to the lack of wood in sufficient quantities, my development was difficult.... Counting on a quick game thanks to the elves and Kir, I decided not to spend money on dragons.... And then, a miracle! I was given diplomacy!!! Anticipating victory, I gathered a decent army on the map and sent it out for reconnaissance... I discovered most of the opponent's map and saw that he already had 3 red and 3 black dragons, and an Ancient Behemoth! Frightened by the prospect of a crushing defeat, I turned back home to gather my full army! But then I saw an easy target! A secondary hero with an army was heading to upgrade at a fort!!! And I attacked him with a smaller army! Kir's experience allowed me to win the battle, but I didn't expect that building dragons and upgrading part of the army would cost the opponent about 15-20 thousand gold for a ransom!!! After killing the Medusas and red dragons with almost no losses, the opponent fled... I only had the joined army, and the opponent followed up with his main hero and I had to run... I thought that these losses would be significant for Gunnar... I gathered my army and set off!!! And I was surprised to see that he was coming towards me, and his army was many times larger than mine!!! "Thousands" of Hell Hounds were already causing panic... Then I decided to wear down the opponent... I took the joined army and broke through the passage through the portal... and attacked his Castle! And again, I was shocked! The secondary hero in the Castle had 16 magic power!! while the main hero only had 2... and then I understood... the Grail!!! After capturing the city and settling in it with the main hero, I didn't know what to do next... And the opponent was already running around my territory, constantly trying to lure me out of the Castle... I had no choice but to go into a defensive position, as the opponent had a MUCH larger army!!!! And since he couldn't prevent me, he had to sit and watch as Gunnar ran around my territory and gained experience... He knew that he had several weeks for this... because I couldn't join my army with the one in the dungeon... My only hope was an explosion with very high power due to his Grail... but he had +1 speed, which allowed him to attack me and use hit and run... He also had an explosion, and he had leveled up... BUT I also took measures against this tactic... And then he attacked me with his entire army, understanding that if he waited another week, I would be able to buy an army from the dungeon, which would be as strong as his, and he would not be able to defeat me... Having an advantage in army and skills, he attacked and cast antimagic on all his creatures... but 3 units still got hit by the explosion )) Then I used resurrection, but the opponent was too strong... This is what the Grail does in the game... Even after taking his Castle, he already had too much army and money for me to compete with....

From now on, there will be no more maps with the Grail on the map ))) It wasn't removed by accident... so other players - don't be afraid =))))))))
