[Complete] PYRA Mermaid In Distress - The Tournament

[abhijit]

As the dusk approached, the rookie's adventure towards saving the mermaid continued...

with the Heroes of Might and Magic.

PYRA Tournament Round 1: Abhijit vs 2RaggedClaws 1 : 0

Recruits:

Abhijit: Drake Glider( Mighty wings ), Mage , Spearman, Shaman, Dwarf Guard
2RC: Orc grunt, D Fighter, Assassin and...

Might and Magic, huh?:

Quick game on caves of the basilisk. A mighty glider ( eh, he didn't do much ), and an always hitting mage, summed it up. This brings an end to all my matches in round 1. Hopefully I get a chance in round 2. But even if not, it was a lot of fun. Thanks to Horus and Mint, for this wonderful tourney, and thanks to all the participants, who brought all the fun.

negusnyul vs. 2RaggedClaws on PYRA Hornshark

a very intense battle formed in the right side of the map, which eventually resulted in a leaderkill
altough 2RaggedClaws completely won at the left side, the breakthrough was too late for him

features extremly unlucky horseman, lvl2 troll vs mages, lots of nagas and leaderkill by ghoul

thanks for the game

If everything goes as planned, I will play with Xplorer this Friday, 18 GMT +1.

My 4th game in this tournament Antty vs Nordmann on Dungeon wars. Quite a fast game due to one immortal footpad (nasty units) and my two ulfs. More in replay. An open personal word to Antty, even Fortuna kicked your a... there shouldn`t be a reason in personal insults via private chat after the game. First time a rude behaviour like this happened to me in a tournament. So Antty please mind your temper.

Nordmann

Nordmann- Antty 1-0

I'm playing with Xplorer earlier than planned, which is now

[thefish]

Thousand Stings Garrison

NanRoig: Gryphon , saurian skirmisher, assasin, Ghoul, thieve
Thefish: adept, fighter dwarve, saurian skirmisher, archer, grunt

NanRoig started too agresive losing units and villages but managed to recover for a while ,then some bad luck and bad moves lost him the game.

I am back from the swamp, which means getting back to refreshing the standing and the replay archive.

Also, i really did not want to see this again, but...

Antty, Nordmann: The game you played is invalid, as the map Dungeon Wars is not indicated in the mappool list. It never was, and will not be even in a presumed next PYRA tournament until an earnest restauration. The only reason it is still in the era at all because i am planning that certain restauration, with new objectives included, more space and so on. Same goes for Fast To Madness, it is not on the whitelist! Let alone Show Every Units. These three maps are in the era indeed, but not accepted for playing.
Therefore, you are obliged to redo your match, on a valid map. Be more careful next time, and recheck the settings if you are unsure of them!

Dunno vs Xplorer on Den of Onis.

Spoiler:

After a long and exhausting struggle that lasted for 2.5 hours I managed to claim the victory. Thanks for the game!

Nordmann- Antty 1-0

Hi, Nordmann. I'm sorry I came off as insulting. I was more or less insulting the game, (which happened to have you in it) and going off about how angry I was that I join a tournament and felt a little cornered having two losses already. I then explain that I was sorry you got the rude end of my stick, and said gg and sorry. (Guess you didnt see that)

I'm sorry, i was the host. I just assumed that all the era maps are valid D:<

I'd honestly say though, despite the map, Nordmann did win. But if we must follow all the rules, I must appologize to Nordmann for having played this map without knowing and to everyone else. (For wasting time)

I'll challenge Nordmann next time I see him in the lobby (Which I would prefer over playing someone else. Nord, again, sorry for raging.)

On a side-note: anyone have an idea why I frequently get an error message like this

Sounds like an issue with ur browser addons. Try running in safe mode if u are using firefox.

[Horus2]

I have one issue unsolved yet.


Antty: I shared some words with Nordmann recently about the events after your game, and i am not amused. Such immature reaction for losing a game will not be tolerated, and with your behaviour you earned a Yellow Dragon for yourself.

Much more dissuasive than a yellow card.

From now on, one more insult of any kind, or an unwanted profanity from you will result in a Red Dragon, the equivalent of getting disqualified for the tournament in a spectacular way. I may be forgiving, but he is not. Also, he is hungry.
I hope i was clear.


Nordmann told he is unwilling to play with you again, which i fully understand. Instead, i am going to apply the following exclusive rule for the situation:
Instead of him i asked Vice-Grimreaper Rigor to put an end to your match and play on behalf of Nordmann.
If Rigor wins, he scores a point for Nordmann. If you win, you score for yourself of course.
Please contact with each other and arrange this highly unusual game.

Over and out.

Two of my games I played a few days ago, and completely forgot to post here.

The Freelands ; Mint vs 2RaggedClaws ; 1-0.
2RaggedClaws recruits a bunch that can't hold vs a rush, which is what I did. Game was decided pretty quickly.
Mint recruits; Bowman, Drake Fighter, Fencer, Horseman, Mage, Orcish Grunt. Deathblade leader.
2RaggedClaws' recruits; Drake Burner, Drake Glider, Elvish Archer, Elvish Shaman, Goblin Spearman, Wose. Elvish Sorceress leader.


Claudiuss ; Diasporoz vs Mint; 0-1
Lieutenant as always is torn between recruiting or leadership, not able to do both. Chose leadershipping twice, and got overwhelmed by numbers; the spammable grunts. I have to admit now, I feel Claudiuss is a bit more stalematish than the new hamlets, but only just
Diasporoz's recruits; Drake Clasher, Heavy Infantryman, Mage, Orcish Grunt, Saurian Skirmisher, Thief. Lieutenant leader.
Mint's recruits; Drake Fighter, Fencer, Horseman, Mage, Orcish Grunt, Spearman. Elvish Marksman leader.

My second last match of the Round 1... and i could not beleive it, but i became the p1!

Horus_-_Schlamarcel_-_Aethermaw.gz

(22.11 KiB) Downloaded 396 times

Leaders and recruits:

Horus: Elvish Marksman - Drake Clasher, Dwarvish Thunderer, Orcish Archer, Saurian Augur, Skeleton, Wolf Rider
Schlamarcel: Red Mage - Dark Adept, Dwarvish Ulfserker, Elvish Archer, Elvish Fighter, Orcish Grunt, Wose

Outcome:

Please spare me from comments like "left side you did a mistake" and "you had more luck on the left side" Indeed, i had 48% more... in the beginning of turn 6, so yes, i did a whopping +2,4 damage compared to a normal luck. And from next turn it started to fall like a stone. GG nevertheless, defeat at turn 11.

ps: I do not know how could a wose move there without being noticed by me, but that is a different story.
