New arena from zenithale It's for underground, looks magnificent.
Just a reminder, the next round begins on Sunday so those who have not played should start arranging their duels. I already gave half a week extra because of possible holiday preparations but I cannot delay things further.
Lepastur, SeLu87 have you contacted your opponents? May want to check your hcms just in case. I bet Azagal and Fiur can't wait to meet the challenge head on

Yes, I've just ended my matchs with Azagal. I won 2 - 1! Although the value of the Azagal's victory could be double perfectly. We'll upload the Replays soon

Me and Eugen had our duels. It came out 2 in favor of me.
The first game was my Inferno vs his Necropolis, and is hands down the most intense fight I've had yet:

The second game was my Sylvan vs his Stronghold. I don't think there's anything Eugen could have done to win this other than taking shatter destructive. I actually felt I played sloppily in this one:

p.s.: btw, I'm kind of a software noob (at least compared to some of you folks) and I have a question. When I uploaded the first replay on Mediafire it said there was a virus found. I'm assuming that was just the arena mod?

Teleporting Succubi in the midsts of enemy ranks
And then the great escape with grunts In Eugen's place I'd deal with the remaining spawns because Blizz would just keep teleporting them around the place. But then, there would be no mana from MotN
Anyway, great match - untill the very last moments I thought Eugen had the upper hand.
The second was not so thrilling

The first one was exciting Swift gating worked lovely though I'd be hesitant to try it with all units since eugen could have puppeted and frenzied you if they did not act again in time. I think necro made a mistake in charging the vamps ahead - a certain suicide recipe - and also using banshee howl with the phoenix close.. I'm pretty positive that if the phoenix was not harmed the game would be eugen's.
Second one did not go that well. Following dagoth's tradition the orcs walked over firewalls, possibly a north American ritual like the Indians dancing around fires Thing is it would have worked better if the elves were captured and tied around the fires first. Joking aside it would probably be better to scare the dragons than use rallying cry - sure it helped with killing the remaining arcanes but like in chess it served in exchanging pieces, in which case 25 arcanes for 100+ centaurs.. Anyway destructive won the day, unlucky choice of shatter.

Wow, that was close. First I had Inferno as winner, then Necro, then Inferno, then ...
One thing I didn't understand was: You lost a huge number of troops to his Phoenix. Why didn't you summon some Pit Lords earlier to take it out with Vorpal Sword, or at least attempt to?

I don't know why Mediadire said you there was a virus, but there's no virus into my MOD. Try with your Anti-virus. Moreover the MOD is not include in a replay (probably just the Arena name or link).

That said replays in a new arena cannot be viewed unless you use the mod. Crashes otherwise.

That Inferno vs Necropolis was simply amazing.
Although I think some Pit Lord Summoning would have got rid of that troublesome Phoenix.

The timing was just never kosher. It took forever to have an available demonic corpse to summon off of. Generally I would intentionally get my imps or hell hounds killed early on to get a big fat stack of pit lords in the fight, but the terrain was so congested that I had to cover up my dead hell hounds to get inside of him. In retrospect I probably should have been more patient. The Phoenix wasn't really a concern since it can normally outmaneuver the fat and slow Pit Lords either way. I just wish I had the Lords for the extra firepower.
Either way, the ballista managed to save me from the mean necromancer.

On the bright side you had teleport so you could lock and load!

That was a weird fight all around. I was expecting dark magic so he could use frenzy on my high attack / low defense inferno units, then I could teleport the frenzied unit over to his side and cause hell for him. I almost had to change my underwear when I saw the Phoenix pop up.

Well I don't know about you but I always take Summoning with Necro... Raise Dead is just too great at saving you, especially at the end (if it was a close fight and not a massacre, of course)
btw, what happened to the Lepastur<->Azagal Replays? Come on, guys.

I almost always go for both Thing with phoenix is that it can be killed instantly with cold death or puppeted so I reserve it for the right moment.
@Lepastur
Yeah we wants them!

In the first one I had both dark and summoning, but no master of conjuration... it just refused to pop up...
And yeah, I noticed damaging the phoenix with the banshee wail after watching the replay... guess it doesn't help noticing so late.
About the second one, would avoiding walking in firewalls so late win the game vs a 22 SP/Def Ranger? At least have some fun watching your units kill themselves.
