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

Overall, objectively speaking, I did have an advantage: it all started with Monere at week 1 day 1,2 — he was already level 9. By week 1 day 1,3 he was level 11 with attack 10+ and expert Earth Magic, though without Slow. My opponent's start seemed decent too. Gunnison was level 5 by week 1 day 1,1 with expert Ballista. But as the game later showed, Monere collected 6 out of 7 hives at the spawn. And by week 1 day 1,7 he stood with 2500 movement points near the enemy town. He broke in with Slow into the treasury. Tore apart a couple of upgraded creatures. First encounter on week 2 day 4 in the center. Some minor trades with angels. Gunnison, seeing all this fat, started moving to the neighboring zone. But Monere had full control, and a bunch of angels with expert Logistics from prisons controlled nearly half the map. There was little chance to recover and hide. My opponent played well. But objectively, I'll repeat once again, his spawn was much weaker. Heroes, what can you say... Thanks for the game.
