I have the replay for the 2nd, maybe I shouldn't have given it up so easily, as maybe I could've done something with double ressurection to balance the situation,
you could only delay the inevitable - with Arcax having 85mana left you can't hope to kill of all skellies zombies and ghosts 
hopefully I'll play my games with pera tonight

Yes was a pretty good game. With mass cleansing and an extra favoured it would have been just right, I think that necro had a slight edge in this one - mostly because of hasted decay. I suppose you could keep resurrecting for a long while but the necro units were not going to fall anytime soon, yours units' hp was slowly weakening, you had no retaliation and a phoenix to take down. With extra favoured you'd at least be able to dish some extra damage.
The orc game was kinda hard without any defense and their rage went up pretty fast. Sq always believed that inferno dominates orcs in duel map, to me it's up to circumstance. Dungeon match could have probably gone better, spellpower turned out a bit low. Refined mana was a killer.
Edit: I forgot something, Azagal's timezone is almost diametrically opposite to Tann's and since both him and Arcax are online atm better to spare you the trouble. I'm sorry for getting you excited Azzie, poor planning on my part.. I owe you a cool game

Tann vs Arcax 0-2 3rd Victory!!!
1st Round
Academy - Dungeon
0-1
Warlock with Retribution vs Wizard with Summoning
2nd Round
Haven - Necropolis
0-2
Retribution, Light, Virtue etc, etc vs Luck, Dark and Evilness etc etc...
I think Necropolis needs a slight nerfing, with Altar of Souls amount of theirs creatures are really dangerous. With Vitality,Battle Frenzy Necropolis have an advantage here.
Ah, yes, Tann was unlucky, and I was lucky.Do something with that Elvin

Cool games  I especially enjoyed the Fortress vs Necropolis one. Battleragers bashed Phoenix with every attack and the crazy Dark Build really crippled undeads speed. Maybe I kinda dont agree with charging with Magmas since they were close to Wraiths.
The Inferno vs Dungeon was just fast and furious while the Sylvan vs Dungeon presented a great counterattack of Dark Elves.

It's a thin line with necro.. They need every last hp vs academy or dungeon yet they can cause trouble to haven. However Tann didn't make the best decisions. Used champions vs necro, cast immunity on them so that archangels never got to use their resurrection, crossbows were left open..
Loved the dungeon game, dungeon's might potential can be amazing at times - though considerably reduced against defense. Speaking of which why did you leave elemental vision out, it boosts damage immensely. Academy made a few mistakes. Gargoyles did not have init to block dragons, no kshatras, djinns used special instead of attacking the grims. They'd die anyway so you might as well do some damage.
Veco's games were great. Dwarves initially looked in a bad spot but a fully blessed army with runes can do miracles. And necro stats were weak, no enlightenment? Loved the spear melee action, was a great idea. Mass slow was another good touch, you can expect some good tricks from pera
Dungeon got some pretty good spellpower, at least for this version and it made a difference. Btw seems pera has a tendency to set his units up for firebreath
On inferno what can I say.. Devils hit blackies for 665 the neighbour of the beast  Defense probably saved pera in this one.

Yes that is true
honestly i thought i was gonna loose
but somehow i got through and won 
unfortunately there was some rl difficulties (my sister was practicing some juggling when one of the orange she was juggling hit the enter key and threw me out  ) and was unable to save the replay
but i can remember this i chose rune priests that can cast firewall and trapped cars titan using rune of charge + defenders and cast firewall that ate away at his titans + archmage (who got caught in the corner) because his djins were blocking the last escape route. When they flew away i cast arcane crystal to prevent his escape. Also before he got his rashas on the move i broke his charge using arcane crystal again but he got my bears .
second round http://www.speedyshare.com/936359451.html
I was a bit afraid of him using destructive magic so i took the obsidians. I remembered how devastating balistas are in right hands and the only reason why i picked saboteurs were better stats(acording too doomforge) but i saw the mother load off hp on that balista so i used the sabotage ability. I took lucky djins and used their ability once on arcane archers. Also i used battle mages because dappen magic is WAY better than ****ing fireball.
When the battle started i saw that the units were all nicely lined up and the BMs got a good chunck out of druids 'n sword dancers. My rashas stuck theyre sword into sprites killing them in one. I used triple balista on archers and then used implosion on the survivors. I was pissed when he charged me with dragons and when i attacked them with titans and dragon retaliation killed two titans . Treants and unicorns lasted longest and my djins and gremlins were first to fall.
A good game
one step closer to arcax... and my revenge

The duels with lucky dwarf have been concluded.
Ironically he lost his dungeon game to lucky dwarves Dwarven luck, runic attunement and tactics/battle frenzy against defense, warmachines(that proved of no use) and a destructive build. His implosion was pretty good but mass RM/haste boosted my army's damage potential immensely and rune of resurrection replenished some of my losses as the dwarves hacked away at the dark elves furiously Invisibility units should have been left in the back, also mistress was probably better off with slow than confusion. In the end I was lucky to send the fire-marked mistresses on the firewall, funny moment
Second one was my light/luck/distract academy against his dark/defense/summoning necro. He had protection plus boneward but luckily I was not offered destructive which was my initial plan. Mass haste was my only mass spell which made my rakshasas killing machines after a dash. Teleport gave me great mobility freedom as the map was filled with obstacles so I had the upper hand. The problem was that lucky dwarf could not counter my light buffs, his only mass spell was confusion that hardly hindered me and he started the battle with banshee howl that left him behind in casting. Before long he was forced to start raising which could only delay the inevitable.
Arcax you're next! We meet again in battle, will the disciple surpass the master? *DUN DUN DUUN*

AAAARG NOOOOOOO!
MY SWOOORD!!!
I lost 
First round
 
Fortress vs dungeon
Dungeon lost to fortress
I tried to use a melle based dungeon to see how it worked out. Very bad idea. I had also hopped to get triple balista... no luck
First i cast invisibility but elvin had VERY high initiative(i bet he promised seven rounds of beer to the dwarf who killed the most Dark Elves) and thanes made the big reveal on them by attacking hydra who was next to the invisible guys. POP they were there. I used enpowered implosion on rune priest assuming a fire wall but elvin used rune of resurrection and then casted firewall. I charged with lizzards hoping to get out 4 dragons from the game. Next opportunity i attacked dragons with blood maiden and lizzard chipped in. I didnt let them use return because i was hoping battle ragers would go back to attack them. Bad idea... Turns out maidens dish out more damage than dragons so not worth it. At the end i ran out of mana and got pulverized.
Second round
 
Undead vs Academy
Undead lost
I Chose advanced dark and summoning magic. I assumed that reanimation was gonna come in handy and remembered what Arcax had said about how alignment plays a part in use of magic(or at least i interpreted it as such). I chose skeleton archers over Melee skeletons(another mistake bash would have been ten times more useful) High initiative drove me crazy and gremlin health... +4 i was tempted to release a wtf bomb. I chose red liches because of reanimation (which made Elvin target them like mad) and vampire princes to try them out see if they were any good(apparently they were but mostly because Elvin took them out first). Rot zombies (but they ended up next to the ones without morale), and ghost dragons(not sure which upgrade was better).
*sigh* Lady luck gave Elvin a **** load of advantages. One he got this ENORMOUS line of fallen trees to protect him. Two he got teleport so he could care less if a tree was in the way. My defense made the loss excruciatingly slow.
Now i got two people on my vengeance list.

Awesome post
Yeah rune of resurrection can be a pain. Especially when you don't finish a stack and you see 40% of the fallen units return. But if you used it on another charging unit I would not have used dragonform and the stack would be weakened even after a resurrection rune. Patriarchs can take it since their firewall can still be good with low numbers. As for the furies, skirmishers would have shot them dead anyway.
Skeleton warriors are not good just because of bash, vs academy they have that lovely ranged reduction to them and their adjacent allies. Lich masters are not as dangerous as archliches but they can raise a lot of your units if you let them be. And vampire princes.. They tend to torpor almost every time they attack so they were my primary target.
Two things you could have done is get evasion/fog veil to reduce my shooting power, the other to use your magic more offensively. Maybe crystal, phantom forces, frenzy, puppet, mass decay.. Or you could have cursed my attack/damage, maybe use power of endurance. Necro can become a nigh indestructible horde that keeps shambling towards the enemy lines.

Come on, dwarves vs dungeon is fine. Don't know about arena but I've always had close matches from either side. Academy yes, has a little edge vs necro if you are unlucky.

I conceded to Pera both times before the match began.
First game was Inferno(me) vs his Necro. I went through 15 levels without being offered teleport assault, and burnt through the small stack of money we have leftover without luck. Obviously I didn't go for both a magic school and tele assault, so I had no spells to cast.
Second game was Sylvan(me) vs his Necro. I got war machines but then went the whole time without ever being offered Destructive magic. Once again burnt through the small stack of money leftover without any luck.
Best of luck with rest of tourney Pera.

lucky... what have you done... and you are calling yourself a dwarf ? Academy vs Necropolis was a pure massacre-no Evasion,bad choice of upgrade. Dungeon vs Fortress was little better but I dont get the joke with double-shooting ballista Sorcery/Attack would be better. Your vengeance has to wait

Finished games with Arcax at 2-0 in my favor.
First game was my Dungeon vs his Fortress. He forgot to end turn and so was stuck with limited runes. Being the stubborn hairy dwarf he is, he insisted to play it out (you can still do a rematch if you change your mind). Him not having many runes must have made me lazy because I made a few sloppy blunders in this match, but still won solidly:

Second game was my Haven vs his Dungeon. He went the destructive build, I went retribution+empathy+luck+divine guidance, and the damage was too much:

Those damn dwarves can be so persistent 
Edit: Order duel updated. Merged the sea and river islands, added the new arenas, some other fixes. No gameplay changes.

@ italianic that would probably have been better
