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

At first, things were going pretty well — a good stack of archers, 2 Griffin Conservatories (1 and 2), a decent amount of gold. The cavalry stood in the Castle. True, Dessa got Fire Magic, but with Mass Curse, the 121 Griffin Conservatories fell easily. Then came Hives, treasure zones. In the secondary Conflux, I built Horde Master 5 (got junk), managed to use a Fly scroll. I almost completely cleared the biggest treasure zone on the map, then another one. In the first Dragon Utopia, I got junk, in the second — a Sword +5 All and КВ, in the third — КЗ.
In the finale, Implosion with a boost cut down 40+ ducks out of 55. GG came flying in.

Thanks for the game!

My opponent outplayed me in map control. I had only one road to the neighboring Tower; the other exits were far away, and the two closest treasure zones were in the far corners over snow.
In the end, by the time I cleared the first one, Dessa flew in and snatched a Dragon Utopia right from under my nose. I ran to the second one, but Dessa used Teleport to reach my capital and cut down a lot of troops there.
With the remnants — 50+ Wyverns, 25+ Minotaurs, and 1 Angel — Shakhter managed to dash into a treasure zone and clear two more Hives; a Dragon Utopia loomed in the distance, but Dessa caught up with me there too, outmatching me twofold in stats and troops, and finished me off with Implosions. GG!

Thanks to my opponent for an interesting match!
