White, day 1

One annoying mistake, but well off anyway.

TS

Black day 1,

I went through a portal and found myself in strange lands. Oh how magnificant would it be to have all those towards all for myself. But first i'll have to do with this small one...

White day 4

Decided to pay the cost instead of going for the battle...

ts

White day 5

Blacks location was found on day 2 but I had to wait some days before taking advantage of it.
Today I took an unguarded town and a node from Black.

ts

White day 6

Black's forces has turned back to rescue his town.
I do not have the forces to hold it, so I am gone...

ts

White day 7

My bladedancer took the town from White again with only 1 HP left...

ts

Black,

we lost most off our army by some very bad luck (and a bad decision) and now this pesky rival is mocking us. I have paved the way for my succes though, it is only a matter off time.

TS

The turn you sent is still day 7, and I cannot open it because of wrong password.

White day 8

Quit day, moving closer to my next goal.

ts

Black day 8,

we move ever closer to victory.


TS

White day 9

We took down the watchtower dividing my territory from Blacks. With the new view we can spot Black and his earth elemental coming this way. The town in front of us are still controlled by independents. We will see tomorrow if we will take this town or not...

ts

Black day 9

Ah white is here, this will be interesting...


TS

White day 10

One lucky fight.

Closing in on Black...

ts

Black day 10

GHAHAHahahahah.....

TS

White day 11

All these trees are slowing me down...

ts

Black day 11,

you will not PASS!!!!

TS

White day 12

I will, and I will take you down doing it...

Black had gathered all his forces in a tower to have better protection. After an internal discussion, I decided to attack.

Black was sent to the void...

ts

Thanks for the game!

The void is kinda attractive this time of year i heard.

Good game, Grats and good luck with your other games

Live at the scene on the colors map for another, relatively early, victory!

Costa, congratulations, how close was this victory for you? And what was your approach to this map?

Toth, this is your second loss. It seems unlikely you'll make it to the second round. What are your impressions of the tournament so far, and what does this defeat mean for your last match?

Thank you! It feels quite good to have won the first game...

I decided to send all my troops to the evil part of the surface. I took the Orc village day 1. Being Evil then, the units in the camp site joined me. I found White on day 2 in the area right next to me, and sent a blade dancer to scout on him.

I took almost no structures in this game. Only a water mill and a mine. On day 5 or so I bought the Goblin village.
I recruited a Shaman and marched towards White.
Because of the scouting I knew I had the upper hand.
Toth found himself a good spot for the last fight. and I was hesitating to attack. The fact that he had haste
(3 days) on his units and could slip past me, forced me to do it. My advantage in the fight was enchantments with physical protection ability. I also had an Abomination in the last minute to join in.

I like short games..., and enjoyed this one alot!!

Well I enjoy the tournament I have to say I don't particularly enjoy PBE's as much as I enjoy "real" multiplayer games. My head just can't wrap around them .

I also clearly didn't anticipate Costa's early rush because I checked the map offcourse and I took the same portal i used in this game but it put me at the Draconians on the shadow realm and I figured each player would start on a different level of the map . Costa's strategy was brilliant though because I was going for a quite risky strategy involving freeing the Angel next to the undead wizard tower town and use that as capital. So I split my forces and sendt 1 half to the prison and the other to the non-wizard tower village because i couldn't take on the wizard-tower defense. Anyways great game by costa, superiour strategy.
