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

In the first week, I killed two opponents, scouted four resource nodes, and secured Naga banks, then focused on building up my forces. In the second week, I summoned demons, collected resources, and improved my economy. By the beginning of the third week, I would have had 10+ angels and 80-100 demons, but my opponent surrendered. Thanks for the game!

At first glance, the map seemed decent – well-placed air nodes, plenty of money for reinforcements, a quick route to the center, and easy-to-guard treasure nodes. However, it turned out that the path to one of the opponent's towns was weak, located in a remote area with difficult terrain. Along the way, there were 50+ upgraded wolves defending their territory. Furthermore, the second center was accessible only through a one-way path leading into a blockaded area. I decided not to risk jumping into the second center with my army, as there was no chance of returning. Instead, I chose to place air units, upgrade the Oil Well for Labette, and head to my main town via the stone path. I made a mistake by not realizing I could bypass the blockade through the Cyclops' guard post. As a result, I failed to capture the town on day 114 and only had about 1000 coins left to purchase air units on day 117. Later, in the second week, I made another critical error – after capturing a level 2 resource node, I lost Labette and her oil reserves in a battle (I forgot about the possibility of a guard spawn from the air units). This left me with no one to clear my main town. In the end, the air units didn't work out either, and I decided not to prolong the game. Thanks for the game.
