Amazing signature, Elvin I wouldn't be surprised to find out that your victories are forged on a ritual anvil in your basement

It's a quote from assassin's creed, as for the victories they are forged in the heat of battle Though the ritual anvil sounds a cool idea
Since there are no new battles I'll post my previous game with gmmari, let's not post only victories. Actually this one is a bit degrading but in my defense it was the first time I played haven and he had ring/staff. Which basically means that the grim raiders and blackies hit first
Apart from that it was close, a pretty chaotic battle

for sure final battle on small maps can be amazing...
well since no of my "save" mates showed up this friday afternoon I asked my clan mate Elvin if he likes to play and "hero" duel on the map Dragons Cape... and he is never hard to ask... so be done...
(first we try all random but after several tries he always got inferno/fortress and he don't like that...
so I let him choose town (random hero, I've already got Zoltan)
so He choosed Academy and got Galib....
the game went pretty smooth and fast (for both sides...), as always with some mistakes.... (atleast on my side... bet Elvin had some too...
okay.....
Galib was the first to break into the middle area (and he also looted the Dragon Utpoia...)
at that time his army was rather tiny... so I tried to hunt him down in the dessert with now luck.... (close but still far away  
so he manage to ride back home... "craft" some goodies... and stuff then face Zoltan.... pics:
the battle went on for about 1 hour sharp not bad for such an small map.... and I knew Galib.... but had to try my "frenzy" when I saw what that spell hit I tought... well well better luck next game.... I don't wanna tell more from the battle.... just look at the Replay
games like this makes heroes V worth of playing.... (result as always 2'nd hand...) ty alot for an great game Elvin.....

The fun part was that there were turning points and surprises for both. I only needed a few steps to get the dragon wing mantle but Fiur appeared to take my garrison so I had to flee, +45 mana helped a bit Had to skip one tree and the other needed gems that I did not have - I was one level away from elemental balance. I think my silliest moment was when I attacked the utopia and was forced to use consume artifact to save my colossi And I did not manage to get the tier 4 dwelling, druid elders.
All in all pretty balanced, the artifacts in the middle gave a good variety to the battle. Next time I'll be getting intelligence or arcane training

Sounds cool! I'm going to watch that replay.
Why does the battle interface look so different though?

That's due to a visual mod.

That was sick guys - i learnt quite a bit about academy on that one, and at least as much about clever necroplaying in a tough spot. WoW!

Wow, the classic battle of orcs versus dark magic prophet Zoltan. Me and Fiur grabbed our arms to have a hero battle at Dragons Cape. I drew Zoltan, with the unbeatable orc-killer speciality, block spells.. Fiur drew another top-of-the-pops hero, Kilgan. All set for a lot of fast fun. Dragons cape, with its elemental guards, are probably rather impossible to take down with orcs, so i had a good time breaking first and roaming around in the middle area. Week of Gold made the merchant have a good time as i grabbed an ugly skull and a nice blueish robe from him, gotta prepare for those nasty orcs.
While having a field day underground, it closed in on our final battle as i was getting close to my own garrison. So the story continues...

Almost impossible? I say week 3 with about 15-20 centaur losses but of course **** happens. That said I have not tried on hero.

yes it was for sure an nice day for an "hero" clash....
and the setup was'nt bad either... Zoltan vs. Kilghan.... (Zoltan most be the worst hero against Orcs... and Kilghan in the other hand is an very losy hero.... )
Kilghan did very well but did'nt got wm till late in the game so he just had o walk around an kill what he could (an he did pretty fine IMHO) his worst fear for final battle was Vampirism..... and what did he got...
all in all an very good battle... who could easily turn the other way with some arties/luck.... but hey that's what this game is all about... pic's/replay :
Zoltan vs Kilghan

Still there was no chance of winning that, at most you could stall. You had way too many losses, a bigger army with tactics might have done the trick. Also I don't know if you had flaming, you could have seduced the saboteurs for the ballista to get some action.

Yes. My problem is that suffer way too much losses during creeping. I need to work on that. Guess this is what happens when Deleb is stripped of her toys.

That said dragon's cape garrison is a tough one and inferno does not have any means to reduce damage or resurrect its fallen units from that elemental garrison. If I tried I'd probably get firehounds, pit fiends and horned grunts with tactics week 4 but that's just speculation on my part.

@Elvin: Yeah...I just played that map against the AI (played as Vittorio/Haven). Regeneration + Cavaliers + Expert First Aid Tent is just way too cheap against that garrison. You have the Ballista wipe out the stack of Fire Elementals and withstand the Ice Bolts from the Water Elementals. You don't have to deploy anyone else and you take no losses if you play it right.
I'm not sure how doable those garrisons are with Inferno though...
I probably would've suicided my hero in that battle!

I'm pretty sure there is a way but some are riskier than others.

Yet another day on the "heroic" battlefield this time Ebba (aka fraudatio the finalist up against Lucretia (aka fiur the sleepwalker)
Location: Art of War.... battle type "hero style"
we both had a great time creeping around like madmans usually does..... but as all great warriors creeping does'nt give anyone some sort of glory.... or does it? nuff spoken about bla bla...
Back to game... Lucreita was the first to break (took the "good" garrison whit an army who fraduatio first comment was.... "how're you suppose to win this battle with THAT army...."
bla bla.... fiur... "No pain no gain" and bla bla...
did that battle a sort of flawless but sure could end like an noobs trap... with some "unluck"...
then I went thru the underground passageway (alomst like I got Arantir in my heels...) lol
and then I and to take an BIG decision ....... (cause I was able to visit Ebba's Merchant wagon... and could buy the ring of the unrepentant....
(I got ring of speed and dragon eye ring on my Lucretia)
so... after some thinking... hell no I'll try without...
"to be smart or not to be"..... ???
well day 38 these two mighty heroes match up in a field... sure not for some potatoes picking...
and should I pick that ring....? look at replay and jugde yourself... anyway and very close good final.....
Lucreita:
Cup of tee:
Battlefield:
and finally: Replay
good game my clanmate freddyboy (and as always when battles is close who's gonna win not important at all...)
fiur out.....

Heroic battle to be sure, it was not easy to see the outcome Even though necro can creep faster the dwarves always pack a good punch
