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

The start looked promising. Scouting revealed a Dragon Fly Hive, a box behind the mummies, 50-99 Manticores GO. Tazar and Gunnar showed up in the tavern. But, as it turned out, that was almost all I got to see (there was one more Dragon Fly Hive and one Griffin Conservatory). Shakti leveled up normally, so on 123 I still broke through the GO. Then came the horror - a block of 5-9 Archangels or 5-9 Faerie Dragons. I went to fight the Archangels and lost almost all my meat shield. Next, either 20-49 Hydras or 50-99 Phoenixes. And after the Phoenixes, there was no way to go back. I chose the Phoenixes. Then another surprise - 20-49 Monarch Wyverns. I barely managed to kill them too and reached the castle. By that time, my opponent had broken the GO and I spotted him. I attacked his Crag Hack, and even here I could have won (since I had full mana, while he had 7 mana). But I didn't have a single battle spell. I killed all of his Thunderbirds and 4 out of 11 bears. But he had one extra Haste. I could have tweaked the setup, but I decided to surrender.

Thanks for the game!
