Posts from Heroes of Might and Magic IV Duel Tournament: "Wisdom and Luck"

What about Haven? :) Or are you afraid of each other? :D
By the way, if you decide to stream this game, I'd be happy to watch. :)
I think a battle between two giants would be interesting:o

He's saving me for last, I guess. :)

Regarding the stream - if there are people interested, I'll be happy to do it.

KPD
I try to play according to the schedule. If the first game with Havr was scheduled, I would have already finished it. But as it is, there's a chance to score some points before a serious battle. Maybe then losing won't be so upsetting.

Stop pretending, everyone. Randomness will decide everything for you...))))))))

Brevity is the soul of wit.)))

Zybr(Might) lose NRXIA R AK(Order) 0-1
Almost managed to pull it off. Didn't pay enough attention to the tactics.

Zybr(Nature) lose NRXIA R AK(Might) 0-2
Made a mistake, and the berserkers tore the heroes apart.

Zybr(Nature) lose NRXIA R AK(Might) 0-3
I set up a wall to prevent a rush attack. But there was the maximum possible stack of cyclops, and they also had 63 attack. They overwhelmed me.

Zybr(Nature) def NRXIA R AK(Life) 1-3
They gave me the Book of Life. I didn't try to reinvent the wheel and played with tactics + Life Grand Master. Both were armored. I took lepers, wolves, elves, valkyries, and beetles. The entire army was melee, and instead of angels, I had champions, also a Life Grand Master with a sleigh and a robe, and a tactician without magic. In the first round, the opponent retreated and predictably went into a sleigh. I filled all the approaches to myself, divided the enemy army into three parts with sand, applied buffs to myself, and at the right moment, I also went into a sleigh + the opponent made a mistake when moving the crusaders and took them out of invulnerability too early. When the opponent ran out of sleighs, I methodically tore through his troops, ignoring the heroes. After completely destroying the troops, I killed the heroes.

Thanks for the games, and good luck in the upcoming battles. :)

Why go into so much detail? You stream your games. Those who are interested can watch...

Well, I stream from my perspective, not yours.

I'm streaming for my own audience, not yours.

Didn't expect such a score in that match :smile20:
Watched the replays – once again, I'm convinced that nature's meat is the best :smile18: (except for praying mantises and wolves, of course :) ).

Watched the replays – once again, I was convinced that Nature has the strongest late-game potential :smile18: (except for Mantises and Wolf Riders, of course :) )

But why?:) In the 4th game, Nature had a very strong late-game presence; neither the Sanctuary nor the heroes who survived until the end could save them :) It all depends on the specific game.

Why not?:) In the 4th game, nature had a very significant advantage, and neither the sleds nor the heroes who survived until the end could save the situation. It all depends on the game itself.

I'm specifically talking about the meat grinder aspect, and in the 4th game, the sand played a huge role and dulled the opponent's senses. Anyway, let's not argue. If the results by faction are as unbalanced as in "King of the Mountain," I'll remind you again that the zoo is weak.

Okay, I'll try to provide statistics for all the factions.

Game one
Shnurov_hl (Order) def. Optimal (Chaos)
The Tactician, with Advanced Life Magic and the Book of Travel, used Martyr on the Dwarves. The Grand Order stole the spells. In the end, he overwhelmed with low-level units.
1-0

Game two
Shnurov_hl (Barbarian) def. Optimal (Order)
The Barbarian came out with three books!!!! The Order player had a Grand Order, the Tactician had a level 1 Life Magic book and Chaos magic, and a Life Magic book in reserve. The tireless Berserkers overwhelmed everyone they could. :)
2-0

Game three
Shnurov_hl (Chaos) def. Optimal (Chaos)
Another book. This time, Life Magic. The Grand Life and the Tactician with Expert Nature Magic, but no Combat Magic. A tough game. The Velites helped by preventing the opponent's non-flying army from moving. It was a close game.
3-0

Game four
Shnurov_hl (Life) def. Optimal (Barbarian)
We restarted the game several times before it started. The opponent came out with a Chaos book. I had a Grand Order (to steal spells, Berserk), and the Tactician with Advanced Life Magic. 4+4 Angels, 56 Crusaders, and 1,700 Peasants. I had to put in a lot of effort in the first turn. The opponent almost wiped out the Angels (three were resurrected), and then cast Dispel on the Order hero.... It drew the Ring of Health and 51% magic resistance... Then, Martyr on the Peasants, and all the heroes and Crusaders became virtually invulnerable.

4-0

Thanks to the opponent for the games!

OPTIMAL
Don't give up! Keep fighting! My exit from the group depends on you :)

Damn, I probably played too early. I should have saved the best for last, like the others, and hoped for myself, instead of relying on others. I think Optimal will lose, because he has nothing to lose.

Game 1
AVS Hunter(Chaos) lost Havr(Order)
Spellcasters and sleds were dealt in the town. I leveled Tactician and Priest. Under the sleds, I reached/jumped to the opponent’s heroes and took them down.

0-1

Game 2
AVS Hunter(Chaos) lost Havr(Chaos)
It dealt well to both, each got 3 Medusae, 800+ Troglodytes, etc., I also had a hundred Medusas. I came across a great set of artifacts: Robe of the Guardian Magi, Book of Death, Sniper’s Crossbow, Centaur’s Pike. The Medusas turned the tide, with the first couple of shots petrifying 1 Medusa each.

0-2

Game 3
AVS Hunter(Nature) lost Havr(Might)
I was given a Book of Nature, so I leveled GM accordingly, the troops were dealt well. Both got a stack of Berserkers, a stack of Harpies, a stack of Cyclopes, and a mixed stack of Behemoths + Birds. I won due to a faster and more powerful army.

0-3

Game 4
AVS Hunter(Chaos) def Havr(Nature)
I got a Book of Order, and although Nature was weak in terms of army, I decided to try. Bad idea, there was another restart. I simply didn’t have enough power for a quick takedown of the heroes, got bogged down in the opponent’s army, and in the meantime he methodically killed my heroes with Efreeti :)

1-3

Thanks to my opponent for the games!:)
