We started the game with Arcax a bit earlier but unfortunately a d/c ruined the battle. We'll replay tomorrow, game was light sylvan vs destructive dwarves.

Here is the replay, from that point on it could be anyone's game if you consider 25% resistance and my magic immunity spell. Not sure if I could kill those shieldguards in time though.

Edit: I just realized that I suck when playing late Not using magical immunity on druids or arcanes, what was I thinking?

With such high magic resistance you don’t really know what could happen… One or two resisted implosions and Elvin wins, but if almost every implosion or meteor shower hits Arcax is the winner.

Quite but the game would be a sure victory if I had cast immunity on arcanes rather than imbue in the end. Fun game no matter how you look at it

Btw I remembered something funny from H4.
If there's one thing I've learned over the years, it's never gamble with an elf. I don't know how they do it, but if you put your gold down, it's as good as gone.

There is no way to remember all moves exactly, one option is to start like we did and continue for as long as we remember or I move to another tile and we 'reset' the variables.

I need about three minutes of someone's time to see, if I did everything correctly to play the duel map. Anyone?

Mission accomplished, good luck both!

Edit: Had a great inferno vs stronghold match. You can never tell who wins until the last few turns.

That sure was a long fight oO. But I stand firm in my believe that it is near impossible for Inferno to beat Stronghold. The rate at which they die is waaaaaaaay to high. You'd need some very favourable terrain in order to stand a chance.

What I found peculiar was that the Arch Devil never summoned the Pit Lords, would have been solid gold since the corps were right in the middle of the battlefield so they'd reached the cyclopses when they would have had their turn. And their would have done way more damage than the Arch Devil in the attack move. Also the choice of Foul Wyerns was surprising. I'd say you need the Pao Kais so that they eat the corpse so that no Pit Lords get summoned.

I wasn't exactly 100% concentrated Green wyverns were to ensure better damage output in a short time, with gating it's easy to make paokai divide damage to multiple stacks. And it's far from impossible, all you need is to know how to play inferno. One easy cheap trick would be to start first with swift mind, frenzy chieftains, they hit cyclopes which hit both them and centaurs If inferno finds a way to slow down the rhythm of the battle, gate and start abusing dark spells their chances are pretty high.

Well believe it or not, Dagoth won me 2-0

Sylvan (me) vs Academy (Dagoth)

I just couldn't bring those Golems and Gargoyles down, since they are 75% Magic Proof and Immune to most elements, respectively.


Fortress (me) vs Stronghold (Dagoth)

Very close battle. One more of my hero's turn and I would have won (if no resistance triggered). There were some mistakes on both sides.


Good luck in the rest of the tourney Dagoth

Those were some fun to watch matches. That mass line of firewalls in the first fight was scary looking

Don't know if anybody else noticed, but those earth shaman's were the queens of the battlefield that second fight. Yikes. It was close enough that if one resistance didn't trigger, fortress could have won.

I notice Gares has a bad habit of running through firewalls, I'll have to keep that in mind,

Sorry but Dagoth made some outrageous mistakes in the second match. Some moves were pretty unbelieveable. I'm not a fan of "if" and "woulds" I prefer to leave that to unsatisfied players who don't accept their loss but in this one...

Seriously if Dagoth would not permanently have set himself up perfectly for circle of winters (after knowing you had the spell since you slaughtered his ballista with it), running into his own firewalls, makeing bad tactical decisions, etc. this one would never have been nearly as thight. My my my unbelieveable that he stil won.

And there was also his attack with the Warmongers on my Magma Dragons without moving, just so that the retaliation would hit his Goblins as well

Stronghold is just one hell of a faction to beat without Dark Magic.

If you're wondering why I had Tactics, I chose it to counter his, but apparently he didn't choose Tactics.

And I made that mistake of attacking the Chieftains but Taunt triggered... I always forget about Taunt - but I didn't know it works like that either. I thought that you should target a creature adjacent to the Warmongers for Taunt to trigger... but apparently, your creature should be adjacent to the Warmongers, and Taunt may trigger no matter where you hit.

Taunt works the first way also, I've had my lizard warrior charge diverted to the warmongers.
