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

Dubious start with Ufretin on 11 Hords and 30 Centaurs with buyout. 1 road is blocked by 48 Harpies with Grail for wood, the second one is free, and along it past the shifted guard in one and a half days I take the center Barbarian village, where there is a Dragon Utopia. There is no wood anywhere, I ran everywhere, found 1 pile of 5 and a mine without piles. Barely upgraded to Grands on 115, the horses got stuck in a Citadel. Took the comp on 121.
Opponent appeared in the teleport to the center Castle on 114, broke through there and ran away. I was already anticipating a rematch upon meeting after 2 hours of play and restarts and was fuming, but it didn't happen. And on 122 I took that wood for 8 Wivs and with 5 upgraded horses and 19 Grands (6 had a bad luck on morale in the maximum Medusa building) went to pressure the opponent, whom I pushed away from the center after several skirmishes with horses. On 126 a situation arose where by 131 I take the opponent's and comp's and my home main. Opponent surrenders Griffin Conservatory - Third-level for tempo and chances.
In this position, only an In-Game Auto-Resign on tech resign on the first week could save Blue. The layout allowed no other outcome.

Thanks for the game!
