Week 1 rush FtW  H5 allows for some incredible rushes in the early weeks, there's nothing like a lvl 15-20 hero week 2 with pathetic army taking down everything in his path and sweeping you away like dust.

I managed to kill 3 groups of 110 balrogs, and 2 groups of 240 black dragons in one battle using a necromancer, 14 poltergeists and no mind control dark magic. Longest battle I ever had. Humiliating, but not for me this time!

I had 5 footmans, 7 archers and 14 peasants and saw a group of 4 sprites guarding an artifact! I dint had movement point so I waited a turn. An enemy heroe appeared with some succubuses and defeated me in a perfect! Then he lost to the group of pixies because they were 5000!

sorry Azagal, don't have a replay. but basically my strategy was to use the black dragons against the balrogs. i didn't think i would win, i was just hoping to kill some balrogs then flee and then return and repeat.
what i did was to separate the poltergeists into 7 groups of 2. my necromancer had last stand and cold death. basically i would deep freeze the balrogs then use the poltergeists to force a black dragon retaliation on them. it was hard because balrogs are also ethereal and have stormstrike, negating last stand.
when the computer got smart i had to use motn and circle of winter to kill off balrogs and regain mana. one ghost stack survived because it was trapped in the corner by a black dragon stack. i kept raising another to force black dragon retaliations
eventually the balrogs all died and then i forced retaliations on the dragons against each other until they disappeared.
you can try the scenario if you like; i still haven't finished it
it's called "The Road Less Travelled" by "Mrs. Mouzik"
now i have figure out how to fight a legion of phoenixes without mind control dark

Yesterday a friend beat me using puppet master and the biggest noobish mistake i did was not to equip my tome of light magic to get cleansing cuz i thought cleansing is a summoning type magic... and after he beat my army i entered the castle and built mage guild lvl 2 which gave me cleansing(i never built it because i haven't got any schools of magic)
So you can start laughing ))

Once I was playing with Fortress, just sort of fooling around. My hero had 160 Shieldguards, 14 Skirmishers, and no magic. So I saw some golems and right clicked, it said "Throng" and I thought, "Hmm, haven't seen that. Oh well, I can take it." When I go into battle, there was four stacks of golems, with fifty in each stack.

just got crushed yesterday by a sylvan player, never thought i would lose so quickly and thoroughly!
i was playing nebiros:
Exp Attack, Defense, Logistics, Sorcery, and Dark
had 25 att and 15 def w/ midteen sp/knowledge
army was: 750 marksmen, 358 vindicators, 136 battle griffins, 13 zealots, 186 champions, and 29 archangels
notable skills/spells: teleport assault, frenzy, vampirism, tactics, all three dark mastery skills
had: sylvan artifact set, ring of speed, dwarven greaves, ogre shield, cursed ring and tear of asha for 1 week
enemy was playing ylthin:
Exp Attack, Light, Logistics, Luck, Leadership
had: 16 att, 25 def, mid teens sp/knowledge
army was: 568 dryads, 515 war dancers, 368 arcane archers, 145 high druids, 106 pristine unicorns, 100 ancient treants, 33 crystal dragons
had: ring of unrepentant, cloak of death's shadow, dwarven shield, lucky horseshoe, dragon sword, dragon helm, dragon necklace, dragon armor, windstrider boots
notable skills/spells: elven luck, retribution, swift mind, stormwind, aura of swiftness, master of blessings/wrath avenger vs cavalier, archer, angel
terrain was atypical, only left side along boundary allowed large walking units through. stormwind and necro artifacts really slowed griffins/angels down. crystal dragons killed a lot of archangels vindicators and marksmen, dryads/wind dancers did significant damage, enemy cast mass haste(which i think was a mistake, should have cast mass righteous might) unicorns killed an unbelievable 94 champions and blinded them. arcanes killed rest of marksmen. at this point my hero got to go and frustratingly i realize ylthin's units are immune to frenzy, and even if i had puppet master she could mass cleanse it easily, and there are not many units left to teleport or vampirize(in other words game over). and how come its her units' turn again already??? 
what struck me in this match was how incredibly effective sylvan's forces are when they can reach you. damage output is insane! 
looking back i really needed to main a knight to get stormwind/ higher defense/mass endurance/swift mind. that might have evened things up.

sorry can't resist...
what struck me was that you had 358 vindicators, 136 battle griffins, 186 champions, ogre shield and worst of all a demonlord [sacrilege!] leading your troops [it's like inferno vs YLTHIN with full power first turn strike]

well the demonlords' defense was ok and he had expert defense, and trading 5% initiative loss for 5 defense was worth it imho, considering he also had the ring of speed. but sylvan's initiative and damage are just too high. i'm not confident that other builds could have stopped her
i tried this build just for the heck of it because it was effective against inferno and necro, but obviously no good vs sylvan

@Ebbafan
unfortunately at those levels & amount of creatures, a sylvan first-turn strike with retribution and luck and an attack stat close to the enemy defence stat will kill armies led by a demonlord (low natural def stat even with exp defence skill)...the sylvan hero can take max damaging skills instead of the defence skill here because the enemy is devastated before it can retaliate. Same thing can happen agst necro (low attack & slow initiative creatures) & some other factions I imagine.
Those ogre artis can be quite iffy when considering who strikes first & the atb...if one had another arti for the shield slot, then the tradeoff is less than 5 def vs -5% init.

This happened yesterday! Iwas playing on double confrontation with dwarves vs sylvan. My opponent was a guy who is considered the best guy on tunngle, throughout the whole game he kept teasing me and saying I don t know what I am going up against, and said I've heard that many times and almost every time I won. When the final battle commenced he didn't have luck because his skills were enlightenment, war machines and destructive magic, and yes he had imbued ballista, plus tome of destructive magic cause I let him get it. I had armor of the dwarven kings and helmet of the dwarven kings plus pendant of mastery but that wasn t of much use cause I had lots of ore and wood. In the final battle if I recall he had 15 crystal dragons, 37 Ancient treants, 57 White unicorns, 133 high druids, 209 arcane archers, 280-300 wind dancers and 360 dryads. I had 16 Magmas, 28 Flamelords, 49 Rune keepers, 98 battlereagers, 140 whitebears, 220 spearwielders and 420 shieldguards. He did not attack first only with arcane and i used divine vengeance and almost destroyed his arcane archers but they almost destroyed my rune patriarchs, in the end it was a tight battle, he used te ballista wich could destroy 10 of my dragons in one turn and plenty other creatures and I kept using divine vengeance and some runes. I won and he said he wants a rematch or he will never play with me =)))) it was 2 o clock in the morning. I argued with him for 10 minutes that I saved before fight and we could continue tommorow or sometime but that I wanted to sleep, but he kept said he was never going to play with me. I let him have the rematch and this time he beat me but he had only 20 treants and some druids left. This is a bit funny because now he said ok I am a cool guy and all but now I wanna stop playing with him, because he doesn t accept loosing and is a arogant person. And I have no comments or complains about rematches if the other persons wants it but I guess the final battle is what counts the first time cause u don t know what the other persons has and uses. I lost two very close fights this way and hadn t asked for a rematch. I just want to know your opinion

I am not saying I am the best on tunngle but I am in the top 3.This was a humiliating defeat for him, not for me because sicne I asked a lot of players and they said they never beat him and now I did, theoritically and practilly I am better than him

My biggest defeat was the second file I ever played. It was a 1v1, and the computer's weakest hero beat my strongest hero.. So bad, just so so bad...

I was playing the undead campaign with Arantir. His level was around 25 and his spell power around 30. Troops were 7 stacks of 1 ghost. cast word of light with ring of unrepentant. Then i realised i haven't equipped the ring yet because i had other rings, which turned out 1 of them was morale ring!!!Almost cried to restart the whole scenario...
