Looking for Good/Interesting/Funny Battle Replays to Cast on Youtube
Hey guys,
I recently put up a Youtube channel for mostly Fallout videos; however, I've finally been able to get recording for HoMM III working and this has inspired me to put up some videos of HoMM V as well. Ideally, I'd love to share some epic battles between high-level players of this game with the Youtube community, both to get people interested in the game and to show some good tactics and cool fights to the people who already are. However, I'm not much good at HoMM V, and figured it would be much more interesting for people if they were to watch battles between players who actually are. 
So, basically, what I'm looking for are any good battle replays, preferably from high-level players, but anything works. They can be endfights versus other players, neutral battles where you pulled off impossible odds or used a really clever tactic, anything interesting really. I'll be sure to give full credit to whoever provided the replay/participated in the battle. I'm also going to take a look through older threads with replay collections, but I figured it'd be good to make a new one, as I don't want to broadcast peoples' games on Youtube without their permission.
So, if you'd like to send in some replays, that'd be awesome! 
If you do, and I decide to use it for Youtube, I'll probably contact you for a bit more information about the game, if you remember it; that way I can provide a bit of background for the fight.
Thanks, and I look forward to seeing your games! Here's my channel link again; you can post the replay here or PM me the link there.

Oh Elvin should have tons of those.
Or alternatively we could make some in the near future.
I'm still up for it, you hear me Elvin and Azagal??!!

Yup, I'm poking through that, just don't want to steal anything without permission.
I apparently can't load some of those replays either, despite having placed them in my Profile section in documents/games/HoMMV/profile/username. Are they invalidated by a more recent patch? Or am I just deficient?

Oh, right, that makes sense lol, thanks. Looks like the old duel map link is broken; know anywhere I can snag it so I can watch older games?
And I just meant I didn't want to put anyone on Youtube without their permission.

Turns out my game hadn't created a replay folder yet; once I saved one it was all good.
Thanks a lot! I look forward to seeing some awesome games. The replays go at such a fast pace on normal speed!  I can barely keep up!

Sweet.
Oh and check your HCM veco. And well I love your idea and it's good that you take iniative but I suggest you ask the players for description because if you say you're not such a good player you might not find all the bits that are worth talking about (I'm talking about positioning etc. things that aren't as obvious as a Raging Cyclops lucky shoting 3 stacks while charging across a field).

Yeah, I most likely will; that's another thing I'm hoping to be able to get out of this, as it should be a very informative process.
Also, saw that Cyclops game; that was absolutely hilarious.
And thanks for the replays, Elvin! I'll check 'em out.

I can take care of descriptions if you want but probably better to ask the 'authors' It's cool to see the transition from someone's initial plans, how they change according to what spells/artifacts they get, how setbacks like failing to get a level affect the whole game and of course unpredictable situations during battle.

First video's going up in a sec! I did misidentify a couple units, gotta work on my live commentary skills a bit more, it seems. I'll get better as I do more, though, I promise!

I was actually Radar's practice opponent the first time he tried arma knight, I pretty much obliterated his forces.
Actually, I've been a practice opponent for half of Radar's tactics. We just had this nondisclosure agreement about it to keep the weapons a secret.
There were some awesome duels in those tourneys.

As if I'd delete games like that  The armageddon knight was epic. Mind you phoenix played poorly but the point here is to glorify radar's trademarked strategy
