Great match!, I started fast, trying to finish the game with an Warlord attack, but it took me way too many turns to get to his main, and that's when I destroyed some of his main cities, I got to greedy and got my party killed instead of heading back after the harassment. I agree, if he had attacked me at that moment, I would've been in trouble, since I only had 3 cities and no vassals.


At the beginning there was a city in the underground that we were contesting for quite a while, I think we both lost important amount of units there, eventually I decided to raze it because It was too far from my main to keep supporting the attack and Refineus killed most of my units in that area.


It was a long but fun match... when my initial attack failed, I realized that refineus had a much better economy than mine, he had more cities and more domain, so I went back to my cities to try to expand, eventually we probably took about 20 turns with no attacks or anything and I started to get worried, that's when I started to march 2 stacks with 4-5 manticores to his main, a third stack with 2 manticores and some tier 3 units was marching from other side to try to take some of his cities. That's when I saw his 3 stacks disembarking next to my main, I thought it was over, but, I had swift migration, so my plan was to trade spots lol... to take his cities with the armies I had underground. while doing this I was building more troops to slow down his progress in my main and give me some time to attack him...


I agree I was very lucky to kill his leader, I had a party of 2 manticores and 4 shocktroopers and he had a fully loaded tier 3 party with phalanx, priests and earth elementals, but he had the party with his leader in front, so I crossed my fingers and attacked him, getting only his leader an maybe one unit or two. at that point I was very close to his main which I assumed was undefended, so I rushed there before the 3 turns and took it.


Great game ! Thanks!

Interesting game, I had a little rough start, but it got better. Had a very nice starting position, with very few exits, but since I'm underground and being a Dwarf little matter.


The game started around after I lost my leader first time when out of a position where I tried to save a city far to the east. It got burned down eventually. The real struggle came when Dr light came a second time with Orc Shocktroopers. I lost 2 cites and a main. I was thinking that it was decided. But I had 3 dwellings, a Frostling city and Tigran city. So I demanded 5 tributes of gold and hurried production on war breeds, phalanxes and priests. So I managed to get two full stacks by two turns and beat the doom stack that came. The problem here was that became slacking. I did not counter attack, I was expecting Dr light to be ahead of me by now. So I built a fort Knox.


Then I to move a little later with 4 stacks with one coming up behind. While leaving defenders at home. I came to Dr light throne and plundered it. However, I got a little distracted by a break-in and sent defenders over there leaving my throne very vulnerable, meanwhile Dr light got extremely lucky managing to take out my leader. He got taken out by a bunch of Manticores.


Great game, lost due to being way to greedy and misread the situation a little.


Edit I reported a win!!! Should be a loss for me.

I will print screen can be interesting. I had a very nice comeback midgame. But pressed to hard by being greedy in the end. Had 4 stack but left out one hero to take out one fort...

Congratulations taking my throne. I had my defenses little to far away and my main stacks on the other side of the map :-) 

I must say that Orc Warlord is damm hard to counter with a Dwarf. Except for phalanxes and firstborns and priest combined.

I won... I don't feel good about this victory, you were having a good run in my main territory, but my army was in yours, I guess it was like a race to see who would get the main city first... When I saw your army I moved my throne at that moment, I knew there was no way I could stop you, just delay your army as much as possible until mine hit your main city... then when you had your leader in front of your army, I had to take the chance of sending my manticores and cross my fingers that I would kill him... So I guess I was very lucky there.


I couldn't see the statistics, I accidentally hit end turn before, can you print screen them? I'm thinking that you were ahead of me, at least at the end game.

I must say that the timing of finishing "Mono Culture" came in the exact right moment. More troops for me.


P.s very sneaky to dig through the rock walls with a dwarf in your stack.

I always knew that north was going to be my downfall, I had literally zero vision... =( At some point I was going to build a tower, and then I forgot. haha

Suprise, suprise. :-) The mocking Dwarf from the underground. I made quite some preparation to reach your throne.

Haha, yeah, I felt really bad by doing that, but luckily I had good vision with my eagles... I had to take that shot, otherwise I would've lost if you had the chance of gathering your army at the city... haha sorry!!

As usually with my unlucky stack placements. Seems to always be out of place with all my forces where the action is going on.
