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

On the first day, Kyrre picks up Earth, I decide to play. I built 2 Hives (8+4), two Griffin Conservatories (2+1), two Dwellings for uniques, 100 Dwarves from Pandora's Boxes, all Air Magic without Wisdom. I went out on 122, on 123 I took all Magic with Advanced Wisdom, the Tree, Pandora's Box for 15 Pit Lords, a Dragon Utopia for stats. By the end of the week I took the central town, gathered stats, defeated the blue cap, around 50 Wyverns. On 127 the opponent appears — I attack, he has 7 mana, a tribute follows after a small exchange. The next day the opponent, while killing my scout, leaves 7 Angels on a loose stack, Kyrre catches up — surrender follows.
Thanks for the game!

I used all the resets, played with what was dealt. Grechin started with 1 stack. On 112 I wanted to surrender, both roads were blocked, after breaking through the first one 45 Goblins remained. No money. Only 4 heroes, Great Rhinos on GO, 2 Griffin Conservatories of a triple, nothing to take them with. However on 113 and 114 I uncover 2 easy Bear Nests, my mood lifts. On 116 I spot a Sword +5 All in a far corner of the respawn, build a ladder there, and there's also a Griffin Conservatory of a single nearby.
Gretchin absolutely refused to give Earth, then refused to upgrade it until I raised everything else to Expert. I also had a problem with Crystals at the respawn. Before entering the treasury on 125, I took a native Dragon Utopia of a single, completely useless, with a Sailor's Cap, Eagle Statuette — well, in general, as always. I'm a bit short on gold and Crystals to upgrade the Bears, I go into GO with 9 Bears, 7 Angels and 16 Great Birds. In the treasury I take a Cloak of +2 Speed, about to equip it, but I get distracted by the opponent's Sneak moves and forget, passing the turn. The opponent attacks without + to Speed with 2 Angels. Tactically I line up stupidly for Meteor Shower. I lose 3 Bears, 8 Wyverns and part of the Birds. With the Cloak of Speed and Mass Haste, I would have rammed the opponent's 2 Angels to nothing, trimmed part of his Wyverns, and bought off without losses. I would have calmly taken the 2nd Dragon Utopia at the respawn, upgraded to 15 Bears. The opponent's Sneak got into my territory, I needed to cut him down, Kyrre was not visible nearby, so I killed him calmly, not expecting an attack to follow. I had no gold left for a tribute, 7 Angels on the Sneak were lost, I decide to surrender and not drag it out. Although without Chupa I would have had no chance anyway. In the Dragon Utopia not taken at the respawn, there were Boots of Levitation, of useful items only Gloves — no Chupa, so in any case, no chance.
Thanks for the game.
