CONTEST - The most epic defeat of the CIS region - 2016. Stage 1.

Well, this is just completely unacceptable :) Lizard didn't even know where he ended up (although Toga almost gave it away to him that I was already there when he reacted to the orange player's voice on my turn), so he physically couldn't find me, since the lookout towers had already been broken through by me and navigating without them is problematic, while his moves were an open book because that entire zone had been scouted by me several days earlier. There were three options (and this is reflected in the report); I chose the one that allowed me to win the game here and now, but it didn't proc. Why make up things that didn't happen?

05.05.2016 =Lizard= (Red, Stronghold, Dessa, Dessa) def Mizrael (Blue, Inferno, Mariusa, Mariusa) 6lm10a 123

It started well, Maryka picks up Offense, I build Efreeti in the castle, I have money for buying. The road leads to the metro without guards, I decide to take the gray Inferno on the first week for a double, but the opponent takes it, so to avoid a meeting on the respawn in a good setup, I break back home for Griffin Conservatories. 121 min Griffin Conservatory, Marusya runs to the next Griffin Conservatory, bracers are scouted, the army goes for the Gnome. 122 I kill the Dragon Fly Hive min, I stand right under the Griffin Conservatory and then Dessa runs out of the portal near the bracers... There were options:
1. Check the Griffin Conservatories (both 2-4 without GS), take the smaller one, but without entering the contact zone.
2. Retake the bracers with Maryka and attack Dessa with the bracers using a scout hero with the current army.
3. Take the Griffin Conservatory without checking with Maryka, then retake the bracers with her and attack Dessa with a scout hero carrying the Morning Star and bracers.
I really didn't want to let Dessa roam the map, so I dismissed option 1 immediately. Beating Dessa, who just doubled his mana, with a scout hero with growth but no spellbook, without knowing his skills and stats (only one castle), and the fight being on the barbs' home turf... not great. I decided to resort to Amil's coin again, it said - take the Griffin Conservatory. The max Griffin Conservatory was against taking it, thanks for the game.
