A bit of skirmishing...but all the maps are confused in my head now. I'm sure I fought someone!

Mr. Dwarf Day 1,

my lands are full of treasures. We take the liberty to take them!

Had 6 units take a hack at a Centaur...couldn't kill him. So, next turn he promptly hits one of my units three straight times and sends him to heaven (I hope!).

Mr. Dwarf Day 6,

new plans had to be made due to the old one being only half-successful.

Mr. Dwarf Day 7

my Ex wife killed a harmless boar of mine that we actually raised to be eaten one day. This act of feminine brutality will not go without appropriate response.

On the other side, we took a big risk today and to our own great surprise it was well rewarded!

Well, if you're going to replace me with a pig, you deserve no better!

Have you sent the next turn to me?

Mr. Dwarf, Day 7,

that�s why I replaced you first place! This constant violence towards your husband made me fall in love with a pig. So peaceful and yet yummie!

Other than the pig front, no exciting news today!

Mr. Dwarf Day 9,

today was the game breaking day. Our misguided army decided to take back "(wo)man above ground" with an army of 9 units against 8 units of our foe. Balance was supposedly about even, with a hero, 2 runemasters, a gargoyle on each side. He had 2 treemen and a boar, I had a ranger a boar rider an engineer and 2 fairies. Plus my units were buffed with stone skin and enchanted weapon. I lost the battle and he lost the boar and the gargoyle!

These are the moments when i hate war or rather, this game? :-)

I invited them for tea, and they liked it so much that they stayed for burial. What can I say, I'm THAT charismatic.

Turn 10. Lost one of my best units...to a boar. I feel like I don't deserve my soldier's respect...

Mr. Dwarf,

I lost my favourite hero, but I think Mr. Dwarf will lose his beard, shortly. A fair trade?

Ladies and gentlemen, we are live at the scene where The Stranger has obtained his first victory against Castanieda! The Stranger, did you apply linear tactics this time? What was the secret?

Castanieda, how did you experience the game. Was there anything you could have done differently?

Swolte, first let me say what a pleasure it is to be interviewed by you. Your smooth voice, sincere attention, and soothing presence alone was worth joining the tournament for.

Regarding your question, because I hadn't looked at either of the maps, I really didn't have a clue what the h*ll was going on for most of the game.

Fortunately, my hero got tunneling, and I hired a couple of Ents, which allowed me to storm Cast's tower while he was away chasing some nymphs.

Basically I think I lost, because of two extremely unlucky battles. The first one was 2 runemasters and a hero (all injured) in their newly captured human town, being attacked by 3 human soldiers(!). You never saw runemasters go down so quickly!

And another one against Brad that I saw an even battle, went down terribly for me. So I think I was putting up quite a decent fight but in the Brad deserved to win. But I�ll be back!!!!!
