[Complete] PYRA Mermaid In Distress - The Tournament

[noob-killer]

Dauntless(definitely win) and noob-killer

[AlaskanAvenger]

AlaskanAvenger and Nordman 1:0
Aethermaw, with somewhat similar recruits, both favoring lawful the whole game.

[Antty]

Hey, may I register for the tourny? My name is antty

Cheers!

[Blop]

Blop and I will probably have a game at 1900 GMT Wednesday. On another note, mAsT3RpEE has dropped from our group so the sooner we can get another player and start lining up battles with them, the better.

Confirmed

[Lich_Lord]

If I'm not too late I'd like to join in on the fun.

[Horus2]

Antty, Lich_Lord, both of you has been added to the waiting list. Welcome.

mAsT3RpEE confirmed the leaving, and the next player in order is tsar, but he told he is rather an emergency player than anything else, as having little time. Nevertheless i ask him first, but it is not unlikely that he will step back too, giving some chance to Antty.



Some important technical information: yesterday Mr. Fiveattachmentsmax introduced himself to me, which means i had misconceptions for replay gathering. After exchanging a pm with The_Black_Sword, i would like to ask everyone to attach the replay in their own replies and i will link them on the first page. This is the best possible solution, so even if you sent the replay in pm, know that it will land in a separate reply of mine nevertheless.


EDIT: furthermore, NanRoig vs Horus on Den Of Onis in two minutes!

[Horus2]

Diasporoz vs szdik570 on Hamlets, now.

Furthermore, Enti vs Horus, a hour later. Map probably will be the Channel.

[AlaskanAvenger]

AlaskanAvenger vs Blop, 1:0
I made an attempt for his chief which had a decent chance for success and failed completely. When he counter attacked I got insanely lucky, dodged all blows and dealt out heavy retaliation in return, allowing me to take out his chief on the next turn. A rather lame victory considering the amount of luck involved.

ive a request: can you note which units u picked for playing your games? it would be a shame if one person had to do that, it would be a lot of work, while the players can easily do that for their few games!

you can create such wonderful statistical evaluations of such information...sighs in highest pleasure...


Figure: Fun with statistics

imagine:
most recruited unit versus victory in reality
victorious combos used versus map played
evaluation and upcoming discussion by pro and noob alike

That is a very good idea.
Wanted to do it by myself, but even regular tasks are overwhelming me... would be nice if players would enlist the chosen units when uploading replays in spoiler tag. Mind that even if some picks were not used, it can be peeked at the statistics!

[szdik570]

Was a good game.

[The_Black_Sword]

Apologies to anyone who was looking for me vs AlaskanAvenger today, I put the wrong time up.
We did start however and will continue tomorrow at 21:30GMT, map is Hornshark island.

[Mint]

I've got rather a nice amount of free time; I can compile these stats

[Horus2]

mAsT3RpEE stepped back from the tournament, and Antty arrived at his place in Group Cavalier. Please contact each other for those gaming appointments!


Also, here are some - so far - unpublished replays. On a sidenote, one of them is a 100% mirror. Just how sick that thing is? What is the likelihood?

I would very much like that, if pros take interest and provide some useful insights.

So here it is:

abhijit vs diasporoz game 1:

Map: Sulla's Ruins

Recruits:

P1. Diasporoz: Leader = Lieutenant, Units = Orc Grunt, Elf Scout, Shaman, Naga, Dark Adept, WC, Gobo-bobo.

P2: Abhijit: Leader = Sniper Elf , Units = Wolf Rider, Elf Archer, Grunt, Ulf, HI, Dark Adept

Heroes who wrote History:

Stats: As per the number of recruits.

P1: Diasporoz

Dark Adept 3
Elf Scout 4
Shaman 2
Gobobobo 3
Naga 3
Grunt 7
Zombie 3


P2: Abhijit

Dark Adept 1
HI 2
Ulf 4
Elf Archer 5
Orc Grunt 7
Wolf 8

Just my thoughts:

How did it go for me?:

I decide to go less the magic route, since they mostly promise so much and fail u at the most needed times , however took a DA just in case I need him against highly resistant units to normal attacks.

From whatever little I have played, I think people like to grunt rush here, so grunts in his recruit list was expected. With his leadership, they could be deadly.
I made 4 ulfs and didn't use them much. That's quite some gold wasted.
Dia doesn't do a very efficient village grabbing with his naga and scouts at the start, and allows me to scare him off his village on turn 4, this prompts me to get a few more wolves to keep the pressure up, and I did take many of his villages.

But I forget my wolves, let them get zoced and give him some easy kills, thus losing my gold advantage.
I also don't take into account, how much gold he has, thus always in 2 minds,if to attack or not.

Overall, I think 8 wolves was a bit too much...

Interestingly, dia puts most of his kill xp into scouts, which level rather quickly and it helps him here... Well played bro, would like to hear what you think about our game!
