Epic does not begin to cover it  
A few setbacks though, pitlord did not have expect destructive and mentor messed me up so bad trying to get defense - it's a common skill for crying out loud! - that I only had money to buy 7 foul wyverns. I figured I'd split the shamans instead.

wow, what? some of you actually use foul wyverns? I was beginning to wonder... it's not like their venom ability seems bad.
even though, before watching those replays, didn't know scavenger was that good.

Only because they have been rebalanced Vecom sucks and so do their hp, only benefit they have compared to the paokai is that they do not divide the damage between adjacent targets. Paokai not only can take more punishment and cannot be blinded but they also force the opponent to attack them towards the end of the game because they can replenish their numbers by eating corpses.

really? I thought the foul wyvern would be good if you especially wanted to take down quickly a group of high level units. though, with 18 of them, thats 90 poison damage per turn which is not super impressive, but that's still better than nothing.
I am under the impression you know the faction of your opponent before you meet him, no?
seriously, you face dungeon and you have magnetic golems and artifacts to reduce spell damage? not a coincidence I think.

It's not It wouldn't be a serious map if you did not even know what to prepare against.

Is it common to play 8 players FFA? (not that it has anything to do with duels but anyway )
I can't imagine that being easy to prepare for (besides more then generally ofc)
Speaking of Foul Wyverns, Is it just me or does Regeneration really suck?

It does. And managing an 8 player game is next to impossible, imagine one single disconnect kicking everyone out Not to mention someone breaking sim turns early, making you wait 7 turns before yours comes or saving and expecting everyone to find common time to resume the game.

It's not just that Regeneration is below par but that the Pao Kais ability to consume corpses is priceless compared to it. What Razzak? Want to consume artifact your Cats and then double Mark of the Wizard ressurect them? NOMNOMNOMNOM DEEEEEEEEEENIED!!
Oh my Vampire Princes have fallen no biggie I'll ju...NOMNOMNOM NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
You get the picture.

Yeah I understand that, the pao kai even have better stats anyway.
But I was also thinking about the Hydra, I mean what good is it to regain a half hydra each turn with a unit that only have 7 initiative

It's pretty good for creeping, at least when you are not abusing the stalkers Once upon a time deep hydras + hero spells were the standard creeping method.

actually the regeneration of the wyvern is better than the regeneration of the hydra, because it has more defense and regenerates faster. on an unit such as the emerald dragon it would probably be pretty decent.
compared to scavenger, I guess the main advantage of regeneration is that it is a passive ability.

not by much, and with venom, foul wyverns would probably defeat a stack of pao-kais of equal size.

Here are some of my strategy building replays. Version is ToE RPE, so you might witness interesting things
1. Irina (Flaming Knight) vs. Kragh (Instant killer hero with running Orcs)
2. Anwen (Aggressive Avenger) vs. Deleb (Fiery Ice Destructive Sorcerer)
3. Helmar (Destructive+Light Runemage) vs. Gorshak (Shouter with nasty surprises)
4. Grawl (Massive Gater) vs. Lucretia (Dark Reaver with MotS)
Go on, have a laugh, I have also noticed some newbie mistakes.

@Peter:
I tried replaying, one crashed from the beginning, another in the middle. Dunno, maybe my computer needs an upgrade. Succeeded watching one and gave up on the last, didn't want to keep rebooting.
I'd say nothing fancy in that replay, a might hero with decent luck owns. Would help if you let us know was there something specific and key-winning about your build that is interesting and we should learn about.
