Erm, yeah. *lol* Talking about unwanted irony. *grin* Stupid me... *hehe*

Ok, thanks a lot, mate. That doesn't sound to bad in my ears.

Yeah, I forgot about that Glider in the North for one turn or so. Noob mistake.
And you're right: I love to watch my little magic Saurians roast Elves with their wands.

Hi guys, it's been a while now and I've faithfully been playing Wesnoth. Here's my latest replay. I think I'm improving. Obviously I'm not there yet, but I'm improving. hornshark_replay.gz I'd appreciate any tipps and comments. It's not Drakes vs. Northerners, though. It's Drakes vs. Rebels. Thanks ...

Sounds like you better practice up with those drakes then!

That's for sure! ^^

Let's hope "what is the probability that your mage hits 2/3 and kills that stupid grunt" is a valid exam question. :wink: Nah, it's rather like "Let your Augr calculate the eigenvalues so that the Drake Burner can burn down that differential equation by applying the fundamental matri...

Just watched it. Really nice game. I will have to watch it again, more slowly in order to analyze all the details in the strategical moves. Thanks a lot. I'm looking forward to more of those ladder replays. ;-) I start to really love the game. Simple as it is, it's making me addicted. Who's writing ...

To illustrate the concept of retreating and advancing, here is a replay that is very much dominated by tactical positioning of units. Unfortunately drakes are not involved, but the same applies to them analogously. I'd love to watch it, but it's not a replay. It's just a saved game. :-( //edit: OK,...

Thanks a lot Doc. I'll watch it later this day.

Yeah, I just figured that out. ^^

Thanks a lot Velensk. OK, a few comments from my side: We're not playing on a multiplayer server as we don't have that much time. So we make like three turns a day and send it via e-mail. That's why the match almost took us the whole week. It was our first multiplayer match. And one of our first Wes...

OK guys, I've been playing a game with a friend of mine for the last couple of days, as we play via e-mail. During the match I tried to apply your retreat tips plus tips from other forum posts. It was our first multiplayer game, so it's pretty noobish I guess. We've both made many mistakes. However ...

That would be great! Go for it.

Try playing on Isars before complaining the Freelands is small. :D Who's complaining? I like Freelands. I merely asked a question. ;-) Well if your opponent is deep in your territory at dusk then you've made a mistake because you should have forced your opponent to retreat during the day. I kind of...

OK, thanks a lot guys. That makes things a bit clearer. One question left, though: What if I'm unlucky and the enemy already is on my half of the map when night is coming. How do I retreat then? Leaving the villages in my own half as well in order to keep my units now instead of securing my money so...

Because I didn't retreat at night, as you can see when you don't retreat at night you lose units, I lost that fighter first night. A human is much more skilled than the ai and will plan a much better attack, the ai attacks suicidally and without purpose. Fighters are good because I wasn't facing a ...
