Your worst battles.....

Ok...  I'm a noob... trying to learn the ways of the vets...  So Angelito had decided to take me under his wing and "learn me"....  Little did I realise how "schooled" I was about to get!!!

a little flashback of the game....
1vs1 at 130% and a very rich template...
I was sitting pretty, practising my chaining skills and making sure I clear the map as well as possible...  I'm fighting with my main and trying to build him up...  Doing my darndess to get my level 7 in week 1....

By week 3, Angelito walks in with a level 20 (+or- a few levels) with +30 stats!  My main was sitting at an impressive level 7.  Our army size matched...  Our skills did not...  the fight last 3.1 seconds.  I spent 4 hours preparing to die.  

(I want to take this time to thank Angelito for teaching me that as much as bad as I thought it could be, it can be worse)

So as you can guess, through this thread I'd like to hear about your biggest losses....  times you thought you were tough and got your behind smoked!!  Mine was in the interest of "higher learning".  We often talk about victories, let us be humble and talk about our losses....

(if this thread already exists, please let me know...)

I got smoked...

My biggest loss was in my first game against another person online. I finally resolved enough of my router issues to be able to play or host a TCP/Ip game and found an opponent in the ZONE.

I asked my opponent, Widyship, if he was a ToH member and he said no, so I thought that I might be playing against another newbie. Little to my knowledge, but I was playing against a veteran.

I generated a small random map, with no water and no underground and only 2 minute turns (ouch!). On my first turn, I buy some monsters & heroes and set out to explore. Then after my turn, BAM! He's already on my best character with similar stacks of monsters, but with Magic arrow. Ah shiznitz...I loose and retreat. He gives a tip and says to stay off the main roads at the beginning of the game. I was so shocked by this 1st turn development that I remained frazzled for many turns afterwards.

Let's just say that in week 2, I had "recovered" and was ready to set out again when he found my town and walked in with way more monsters & experience than me. End of story!

this one i got to see to belive.

My greatest loss was against the guy who showed me the game for the first time.We were colleagues at the Academy, but then he graduated and we haven't played for a while together.I have to say that in 2 years that we played together i never managed to defeat him, not once, although i've learned alot in that time. After he graduated we got together a couple times for a friendly game.It seems that my prayers were answered because i won three times in a row,until...
We were playng a random,130% XL map,random allignament.He was fortress,i necro.i made the same mistake as Jebus, being very proud of my 2  bone dragon external dwellings.In the end he got as expected higher defence(playing fortress),the attack was even, and i had the advantage in power spell.Unfortunatelly he had the recanter's cloack on, so bye bye berserk, implosion,clone and so on.For a change i did not have exp. water,nor cure,nor dispel. So he kept throwing weakness at me like there was no tomorrow.In the end i remember i got so pised off that i almost cried:15 dread knights did 37 damage on his hidras
That was...lame

To be honest, my main (Tazar) was level 20, and had the following stats:

19 attack, 30 defense, 20 power, 21 knowledge

His sec. skills were:
Expert armorer, earth, logistics, archery, tactics, path
Advanced wisdom
Basic water

Endfight was week 3 day 5

i wasn't doubting your skills, angelito, i was just thinking jebus is exagerating a bit.
this is a mighty good-looking hero for week 3 day 5.
so you played castle and got Tazar as your main week 3,
look forward to playing with you myself one day when i feel worthy.

In my defense....  Trauma victims always have a warped sense of reality...  Fact is, the fight was short and the first stat I saw was the defense +30 and I guess it just stuck in my mind...  You know the story :"I caught a fish that was THIS big!!"  


Tyler...  I understand your fear....  But luckily my fear is open to teaching and has the patience of a mentor.  

Tigris...  what mistake did I make....  is inexperience a mistake??  LOL.....    It's not like I went looking for him!!!

as (you) said in another thread the noobs(like me...and you) tend to be verry afraid that the other guy might rob them of their castle and so they stick close to it, not taking that many chances to be cought offguard. As you manage to reach only lvl 7 hero in a month i presume you did the same mistake. I don't want to sound cocky here, i did it couple of times when playing hot seat or ipx with my friends and i haven't played on the zone yet, so compared to me you got experience.Maybe we'll get together someday for a game of (n00b)h3mm.

3-way Noob game...

Count me in, if that's all right! I've learnt so much about the game, reading different threads on HC, that I can't wait to try them out...even if it means trying and failling.

Let's set one up for real...

Sorry my bad....  I was sitting pretty but not staying home. I had explored all my land with my main...(took too long probably though)...  I had cleared just about everything and was still only level 7.  (I never stay in the castle and usualy tend to make sure that I can get my army back in time....)  Angelito was good enough to give me warning that the hurt was coming....  So I even had time to get to town....  (still got killed though)

(I'd love a game online... and since Lion wants to play we can do it 3 ways!!!  let me know when)

psst!!  I have to warn you, Lion's a little slow so we should probably put a limit per turn!!  luv ya buddy!!!

k, that's great! i live in a close enviroment here in the Academy and we don't have the internet in our dorms where our pc are, so that means it can't be no sooner than saturday.I'll get back to you for more details. Being a three way  match it will take longer so we'll need that turn limit and i'd say 2 minutes it's best if that's ok with you.

S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y...Hey! (A la Elton John)

I work until around 9pm on Saturday and barring any last minute change-of-plans by my wife, I should be able to go for many hours. I would prefer 4 minute turns, even though I usually only need a few minutes (Jebus!!!), just in case I (or any of you) ever need a few extra tic-tocs here and there.

I just hope that I don't end up regretting this and posting our upcoming match in this thread on Sunday. My worst match was against Tigris & Jebus...

New reason to cry...

Well, since Jebus isn't going to post about how I beat him in 3 days, I might as well add to this thread and share with you all about my most recent shalacking!

I agreed to play IT (aka. EASYWINTHERE), after I introduced myself on the ZONE and determined that his 32- 48 record might mean that I had a small chance of putting up a fight. And after we randomized the Map, I had Necro and so thought that I might not only be able to stand my ground in this game, but that I might actually have a have a small chance of winning.

Well, appearances can be deceiving because I got "shived with a ghetto dipstick" y'all! 11 DAYS...is all it took him to "take me to the cleaners". I'll admit that the Map might have been flawed, as it was in the game that I beat Jebus (our towns were practically next to each other), but that's the way the cookie crumbles. I am trying to be graceful in defeat here, because it's all I have left people.

So far now, I have learned valuable lessons in defeat and been served a few slices of humble pie by WidyShip and IT. The struggle continues...

P.S. Did I mention that I beat Jebus in 3 days! LOL!

Where's that thread about why random maps suck????
yeah yeah you beat me in 3 days... (I think it was more like 2 but anyways...)

Here it is: How Lyon beat Jebus in 2 days - Real life stories that should never happen.  A short story by Jebus.

So day one comes along and Jebus goes first...  trying out new chainning tactics that he's learned since joinning the wonderful world of HC, Jebus naively sends out his hero to explore.  Jebus maxed out the amount of starting heroes to better chain and pick up all the free ressources but quickly realizes he is in a corner and is blocked off....  The hero with all the potential starting armies is sent forth towards the center of the map. (keep in mind this is day one therefor he can't get far)  

End turn

Lion is necro (I beleive) and stalks up his starting and venturing hero to the unexplored lands.  
"who is that" he ponders as he explores the shroud.  
"I'm bigger than him!  I think I'll fight him!"  
Lion's run's up to Jebus and WHAM!! End fight.  
Jebus dead.  
Still left with movement, Lion captures Jebus' town.

End game

this has been another exciting short story of
:"THINGS THAT SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN!!!"

tune in next week for:"HC realy life drama-starring SS and our beloved author, Jebus"
A tale of tossing!!
