Did you actually see the map yet? They have zero impact on gameplay . I guess they're simply there so that you can visit the mentor more often on the same day xD.

Me versus Lexxan
A very interesting (and close) battle - me leading dungeon and Lex as orcs.
I left with only 12 Shadow Mistresses

It's good that you had good summoning, you killed your dragons too early and without doing much damage.

Yes but I have not included myself 
I'm thinking of adding one more rule: No swift mind. It can be greatly abused in this map even though you waste some levels that play no role in the battle itself. For instance an early destructive spell with dungeon can end the game before it begins - suppose sylvan may act before it, haven won't. Likewise sylvan with swift mass haste/RM can be crazy to stop. Only case where I would consider it is dungeon vs inferno because of the familiars, however you can get intelligence/arcane excellence so it doesn't really matter. Same for necro.
To avoid complications such as x can use it, y should not I think it's easier to ban it altogether. Thoughts?

Is it really that good?
I mean, you waste 4 skills for it (Advanced Logistics + Scouting + Arcane Intuition). But I see some classes like Ranger don't need Arcane Intuition so you waste less...
But I understand if you want to ban it, it can do some nasty things at the start and then the battle is already over

The skill in itself is not essential but creates situational problems.
An empowered meteor that hits paladins and 2-3 other have stacks before they act and it's only a matter of time before you win.
With sylvan their units already act before the opponent so you can imagine if they also get boosted before their attack. Necro is dead meat, even if they puppet a unit the rest can butcher them in no time.
Etc.

Well they should be banned, because they may occupy a slot in Dungeon's or Academy's Artifact Shop

I think they were banned from the beginning, only Ossir starts with them because he wastes movement to reach the favoured units and back. You won't find 'adventure' artifacts in the map.

LOL!! The pain ><. Anyways did you already trade all your resourcess for money? They get you arround 2500 which reaaaally helps out if you were unlucky with the Mentor but you just need that one perk you have all the prerequests for.

Wow, and I thought I was a swiftmind fanboy. It's awesome, but you think it should be banned even though you have to spend a minimum of 4 skills (including swift mind)? Think of all the things you could do with 4 skills that you're missing out on. I'll accept getting pounded with a meteor swarm the first round if it means the dungeon player didn't have room to get warlock's luck and a few other good perks. level 21 is just enough to complete 3 full skills (exluding the primary skill), so missing out 4 (or more) skills means it's going to badly hurt you in one of your areas.
You're the one that's done a bunch of test games with it. It doesn't matter to me since I wasn't planning on using it anyway, but perhaps I should have since you're thinking about banning it.

Can we just agree to let Elvin decide the calls without discussion? I guess that should prevent some potential conflict, if he choses do ban something you can trust him that he has gone over it more than a couple of times and that he knows what he's doing.

to be honest, i'd completely forgotten that I had tripple Flaming. I was worried cause I had no money left and wanted to retrain my Cyclops and Goblins before it was too late...
