"Two Seasons: Winter-Spring 2017". Online games for rating (reports, discussions).

We started playing without restarts. I have Shakti in the tavern and two Griffin Conservatories under the Castle (1+2). I leveled Shakti a bit and took the Conservatories. Didn't build up the Castle. I wanted to go for quick contact if possible. Took another Griffin Conservatory, the size-1 one. Couldn't find a path to my opponent. But I did take the green swamp. Meanwhile, the opponent ran into the area I had scouted. His army was decent, but I had slightly higher stats and double mana. I move out toward his side. Nala gets beaten and evacuates the army via chain. Since there's nowhere much to run, and with Shakti having expert Logistics, I decide to try and pursue. In the first FB, I ran away, leaving the opponent 18 gr. Golems that were immune to magic. Had to rebuy in the swamp, took two external dwellings of Efreeti, and attacked again. The opponent also rebought and ran into me. The second FB I managed to win. After that, I just accumulated troops and attacked Nila in the Castle. Victory.
Thanks for the game!
