“Two Seasons: Winter-Spring 2016” Tournament. Online games for rating (reports, discussions).

At first glance, Day 1 showed a very strong layout: an external dwelling of nagas and giants with easy guards, boots removing the movement penalty for terrain, Gurnisson got Earth magic at level 2, cleared the Spirit of Oppression behind the external dwelling of mages. Later I found 2 conservatories with 3 angels each :( , ГО archdevils - 18.
I went to the center, got the cap of +10 knowledge and a beehive of 6 wyverns, I also didn't manage to pick up the Golden Bow on the respawn and lost the ballista. Even with a mana advantage due to weak stats (didn't find a single artifact for combat stats) - the defeat was inevitable.
Thank you for your time!

The first win out of 4 matches came right on time. I was already starting to doubt that I could put up any resistance against the opponent.
Speaking about the game, the start was rough - barely managed to buy 5 heroes. The paths were blocked, no gold in sight, but there were 2 conservatories - I decided not to restart. I pushed further, found an external dwelling of bears, took it, then found another one nearby. I opened a Pandora's box for 10k experience. But there was simply no gold on the map. At ГО there are three stacks: archdevils, strong bears, and hydras. I cleared them without upgrading the bears, entered the center, and there the opponent attacked me, but I had an advantage in stats and army size.
Thank you for the game!
