KostyaN vs Gynnar 1:1
First game.
Me: Tower+Cit (berserk, orb, fire, defense) - titans, nagas, 1 genie, 50+ mages, bears, birds, ogres.
Nikolai: Dungeon+Ramp (fighter build, can't say the exact skills) - dragons of 2 types, unicorns, dendroids, pigs, cats, and medusas.
In the 1st round, there's a mass haste and a solid beating of my units, but there was a tiiiiny but very important mistake: the dragons were placed next to each other, as if specifically for berserk:) - that actually decided it, I cast it on them, plus the unicorns and dendroids. Then Kolya came up with an idea to use my berserk to his advantage too, and positioned the remnants of his pegasi between the Black Dragons and birds - a very nice move! But even that and dispelling the Gold Dragons didn't help - the dendroids tied down the Black Dragons, and the opponent decided not to continue. 1:0:smile02: !
Second game (this one was played with full random).
Me: Knight+Cit (+2 speed, Tactics, Earth, Defense) - Archangels, Cavaliers, Crusaders, bears, birds, ogres, and 44 wolves (to take down the retaliation:D ).
Nikolai: Knight+Ramp (roughly the same, but instead of Tactics - Water) - Archangels, Gold Dragons, unicorns, Cavaliers, 33 dendroids, 40 Fanatics, Crusaders.
This was very stupid on my part:o . First, what was that Tactics for? Second, I immediately put birds with cavaliers in range of the blow (I halved the unicorns with them and was happy like an idiot:smile52: ). The opponent's 1st cast wasn't great either (blindness on the bears), but I, the fool, had read something wrong in the TK reports and decided to use the trick of disabling the Archangels for 7 rounds (I saw something like first Blindness on them, then immediately Anti-Magic in the 2nd round:D :D :D , but when it turned out that even expert Anti-Magic doesn't work on enemy units - it was already too late:mad: !). Then they cast Slow on me, and when I also saw Water magic, I realized what was coming:smile16: :( :( :( . 1:1.
PS. We also played a 3rd game, where due to unprecedented luck (a ton of Amorals from my necro-dragons, double strikes from knights, hourglass again from my dragons on titans...) and sleepy Kolya's inadequate play, I even won, but I won't post it - if anything, we'll replay it;) .
PPS. Here's that part from Mizrael's post where I read about Anti-Magic on enemy Archangels:
"Mizrael - Javdet 2-0
First battle: Ramp-Inferno vs Tower-Castle. Took fire, offense and defense, berserk, +4 spell, 40 mana, resistance boots. After waits, I wait for a cast, my devils get blinded - I blind the archers in reply and get first speed for the next round. Then I rush in with speed from wait, they don't hit very hard under curse, anti-magic on the archers." (quote). And I still don't understand what I did wrong - but Anti-Magic, as it was written, only works on your own units:confused: ...
