On a little side note, since I do not participate in this or anything:
I gave this map a try, for fun, in hot seat, me versus myself, to actually see how it goes and what it is all about. Jesus Chriest, I totally, absolutely kicked my *ss Heaven vs Inferno.
It is a nice map, it MIGHT make me actually want to play this crap game with friends on christmas, since we have no H3 duel maps like this one

That would be pointless, since I only played the campaigns. You would probably win with a single gremlin against my whole army of idiotic creatures that cant use their special abilities because I'm too drunk
Plus, somehow, my hamachi is not working anymore, dunno why. >.>

Reason that I started the tournament here instead of toh was because it was supposed to be for the fun of it as well as training for those who aren't playing online much. Not everyone here knows how to play well.
Btw yes drinking inhibits demonstrations of tactical brilliance 
Edit: About hamachi it could be that lately its server has issues. If it can't connect it's usually temporary.

I think it comes from the formula of prismatic breath. It doesn't calculate stacks hit but rather the tiles hit.
Exactly. Based on Luck, the Crystal Dragon hits up to 5 tiles. The tiles are chosen randomly from the direction you attack, so I think the Crystal Dragon can strike a creature and then another one behind it at a distance of 3 tiles between them! (very low chance everytime to go straight though). It's like it creates a 'path' of 5 tiles randomly from the direction you attack, and the creatures in the affected tiles in this path will get hit.
That's just what I think though, not 100% certain.

Arcax vs Wolfsburg
2-0
Fortress - Academy
1-0
Replay1
Long haul - Luck saved me...
Stronghold - Dungeon
1-0
Replay2
Retribution + Tactics + Aura of Swiftness over Destruction
A little comment - both duels were difficult and Wolfsburg had an d/c in the 2nd one. We reloaded and my opponent made the same moves as earlier  Both honorable and skilled
I'm looking forward for an rematch in ToH Wolfsburg

Arcax has successfully defended the dwarven pride  Looks like I will have to face him before long, this should be interesting.
Wolfsburg made a few mistakes as academy. For one his battlemages hit his own units He did not kill the flamelords that could possibly resurrect themselves, some units were resurrected with consume prematurely thus losing the mini arties, the kshatras received a retaliation from magmas when they could have hit the bears and hit both anyway, motw in general was not used up to its full power.
Still I think the problem was dark magic, a puppet cannot turn the tide. He needed something with a little more 'oomph' The dwarves were might with light, while academy was basically less might with light..
Second game was hard for dungeon, there was barbarian's luck and probably shatter included. The chieftain move got Wolfsburg by surprise so he used his raiders offensively which made things worse.. Be careful with those lasers! Lizard bite could have helped more if they stood their ground. I don't know how much damage those matriarch's could do, I might have shot the centaurs. Damn horsies were too lucky even with confusion  Also why kill the shamans than chieftains that were already behind your lines? Not that it would really matter, game was lost already.

Stronghold vs Dungeon seems like a pretty imbalanced game, especially if you get the correct Shatter.
I'm not implying it's your duel map's fault at all, it's just that Stronghold has very low defense (less effective damaging spells and Rider Charge), and that Rage system absorbs destructive spell damage as well, making it very difficult for a Warlock to win such a fight.

If you go for pure destructive sure Asheera. But then WILL you get shatter destructive? And if you do will the opponent go for it or will have have summoning or even worse dark? It's a guessing game.
Something else I'd like an opinion on. I don't plan to change the map till the current tournament is over but I'm thinking about future improvements.
* Would you prefer a battlefield with or without obstacles?

WITH!
So how can you change that? By changing the terrain? Or can you control the battlefield itself? If so no cluster**** fields either.
(I'm an outsider so my vote doesn't kinda count but still...)

I vote for obstacles as well. They provide very interesting strategies at times. Sure, they can screw your tactics, but isn't that the part of the strategy? To adapt to the situation?
Just my opinion.

I personally prefer obstacles but I want to see how the rest feel about it. I cannot control the obstacles that appear but I know that none appear on dwarven underground.

I suppose that settles it then. I'll probably add more terrains for variety though.

What do you think about creating a patterne of terrians (not only orcish terrian)? This way, no matter the races, battles will be played on neutral terrian (for example, I am Haven and my opponent is Fortress; we woun't fight on grass or snow).

+1 Att/Def (native terrain bonus) is not that much of a difference IMO, so if the terrain is a bit 'randomized' I wouldn't mind, but it's a pretty interesting idea, Zamfir.
