Heroes.by issues a challenge!

What were the bets?

I bet 900 simply because I was ready to give Brogh to Constantine for 1000. He bet 700. Bets are a great thing overall: you see the castles in the randomizer, estimate the minimum amount for which you would, in your opinion, give a strong castle to your opponent, and go for it!
Brogh isn't insanely dominant; I consider Tazar to be on the same level as him in TE (Tazar's level-up rolls are almost always excellent too). That's why I often play Tazar against Broghild, giving the opponent the hero choice. Here the outcome depends more on the layout and the number of Wyverns.
Nerfing Broghild is stupid IMO. I only place Behemoths in the swamp in 50-60% of cases. I've never placed Hydras on week 1. Personally, tempo on 8 mm is more important to me, and on 115-116 I try to plan out moves 121-123, with capturing the center and scouting being especially important. Tempo requires gold for buying out on 121, which I sometimes lack if I have Behemoths. That's my view of the game. I got lucky with Dirty, I won't argue, there were a fair number of Dragon Fly Hives, but I didn't place Behemoths, it was a double build. :)
Thanks for the game!
