Posts from Counter-heroes in duel mode (3.1).

In the first replay, Anwen had a good start to the game, but still managed to win the battle. In the second, I didn't think it was possible to win; the opponent seemed to be playing reasonably well.

I created a new account just to play calmly, without any stress or chatter. I'll admit it.
And I'll upload a couple of replays (VICTORIES AGAINST SHAKO):
The first victory was under a different nickname; honestly, I got tired of his "unsportsmanlike" behavior and the game crashes when he's losing. Garuna defeats Shako quite easily. Although Roma couldn't do it.
The second is Deleb on the Abyss map; the ending turned out to be quite dramatic. I still don't understand why Sasha retreated with goblins at the end? And who ultimately wins in the defense, and is it worth Shako attacking?

Yes, I played with a new account and immediately felt the hand of a master, but I couldn't identify the owner. Yes, the nickname always makes the game lag when losing, so as not to lose rating. I'll post replays of battles that seemed interesting to me. I almost defeated Helmar's Dire, I just lacked a bit of skill, and the opponent couldn't make mistakes forever. Accordingly, the question is - could I have played significantly better with Dire? Question about the mirror match - Vitya against Vitya. The first cast seems to be mass-slow, but what next, is it worth trying to dispel? By the way, I think it's more profitable to cast the second spell. And kill the tent, it removes the slow. I played it with Nick, he copied my moves, but still lost. There were many mistakes, of course, but the dynamics were fast, I didn't have time to watch the timeline.

I also played with the new account ildaryk. To be honest, I was shocked when a newbie (as I initially thought) completely destroyed my Dungeon faction with Jalib. But then I realized it was someone's new account, I just couldn't figure out whose. As for the nickname, after a few disconnects, I just don't want to play with it anymore, and I don't (and he naively thinks I'm afraid to lose:D).

The first replay shows that Vampirism is a very useful spell for Daedra. I didn't think I would win in the second game; it was a strong opponent, and it was Iris too :) I barely managed to pull through.

Yeah, I don't play with Nick either; I don't understand why he has a rating that doesn't reflect his skill. What is he even doing with it? As a result, he'll soon only be able to play against newbies or change his nickname:smile48:

1. About how intricate Jalib's mechanics actually are, and how I was wrong, and quite seriously so, but...
Why did I even use that word,
- "panic!", as Roma says.
2. The opposite replays, I was wrong again, I pressed the wrong button, moved the mages forward, made some other mistakes there, but I finished off the Viking in the end.
3. And Anwen is finishing off Vitia, who is playing very poorly; a plus for the replay is that all the cursed creatures ended up in the pocket, and I had to get to them through thick, uncursed, stone-skinned griffins.

It was a very intense match, with Jalib facing Iris again. The arena was completely empty, and the opponent played quite well at the beginning, but started making mistakes only out of desperation towards the end – the plague creatures were clearly not a good choice.
Ibba versus Helmar – well, it's obvious that the opponent is a beginner, but the ease of the victory is striking.
And finally, Ibba versus Ossir. The setup for Ossir is such that you might as well not even play.

Nika's game, no comment. As usual, he plays very poorly, both in terms of gameplay and disconnections. Iris-Jalib: It seems like a crystal is needed at the beginning, and in general, summoning a Phoenix on turns 2-3-4 is a good idea, otherwise, it dies quickly. Ibba-Helmar, it seems like Ibba should cast a spell that affects everyone, and then the Magnadзор is not needed, and you can use various elemental, ethereal, or berserker spells. I'll add a couple of points. 1. Deleb-Shak, again... So, should we attack with Shak or not???? I don't know myself, Shak hasn't appeared much in this match. It seems like Andrei played well, I'm not quite sober today, but still, Shak loses((( 2. Airya-Ora, Airya lost easily, I'm getting old, I'm going to watch football).

Karl lost to Ayre Sashika. Does he always rely on luck here (against a good opponent), or am I mistaken? And are the direct attacks of the Incas really better than those of the Sylvan? It seems doubtful to me.

I wouldn't use speed boosts either, as the dwarves will steal them. I would use the runes in a different order – first, stunning, then phasing, when close combat has already begun. However, I was also criticized for using runes in this matchup; I actually won because my opponent didn't destroy the ballista. Repka is in this thread.
Axel defeats Iris. Ultimately, a lot depends on luck – whoever gets more morale and luck will win. But the odds are still in Iris's favor.
Ravenna can also defeat Iris, but not without the opponent's help. When I tested this matchup, I couldn't win against the autobattler...

I wouldn't put speed boosts on either, as the Dwarves will steal them.

Oh, I forgot about magic supervision. A couple of interesting battles for Erin (I've been lucky with her lately). In both games, I won, but not without my opponent's help.

I even forgot about the Magic Supervisor:o

How could you forget about it when Karl only cast Slow? In general, this tactic implies that you should have known that the Magic Supervisor's speed buff is easily countered by Gnomes. And in general, the Magic Supervisor allows you to "steal" many things, not just Light and not just Vampirism.
I can't resist and will post another replay. I was about to quit when all that was left were Cyclops. But as practice shows, it's better not to give up on Garun).

Hello, friends! Could you please tell me how to create custom presets for duels? The standard duel presets are set in the 0-1000 range, but I would like to set them to 1000-5000, and also create campaign heroes for duels. Does anyone know how to create custom duels in general? I would be glad to hear your answer!

you can also create your own presets in other ranges (up to approximately 30,000 units); they are created using the editor – launch it, open the Tools tab, and select Create Duel Preset, etc.
