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

+400 coins received from trading. Started playing because of Gunnar and a crowd of native meat + external dwelling of Lizardmen. Ended up with 36 marksmen or something like that and another +80 gnolls. But then I realized everything would be tough: little money + blockers. And there wasn't much to latch onto. Except maybe a Dragon Fly Hive for 10-19 Trolls. Which I took on day 121. But it's the minimal version. Then I took a box with Dendroids (~40) on day 10 to Exp. And another Dragon Fly Hive on day 123 (also minimal). Overall, everything was going hard. Gunnar helped a lot to keep it from being completely grim. But alas, there's an external dwelling of Angels on day 117. Then a second one right next to it. And on three Angels, the opponent gathered 34 Wyverns on a small territory + a maxed-out Griffin Conservatory. And he set up a Dragon Utopia on day 125. Plus, he had a town teleport directly to the KV (about half the hero's movement from the city). So he went on day 126 to Attack with wild stats for that time + air control. I tried to run and build up, and it was going quite well, but it didn't help me at all. Because all the Utopias were by the Lizard, and I missed the Sword +5 All at my own place, as well as the Boots on the respawn. And I wouldn't have taken the +6 All even theoretically. It was the most inconvenient treasure zone. But for the opponent — an easy artifact under map coverage from the KV. Lost on stats by a landslide. But army-wise, it's acceptable.
