Yep, w/m turned out to be useless. Though the idea was that with runic w/m featuring initiative 13 and flaming arrows i could control arcanes. Sadly, ballista acted last hehe Ye, tactics would have helped and i was hunting for it but...
There were some more curious aspects. Indeed, none (!) of runes in guild were from the array of "good" (berserk, magic control, eatherlness, ress, battle rage). Moreover, Inga in 15 levelups acquired only 1(!) - berserking. Also, Helmar at lvl 26 had knowldedge of 6 (including 2 boosters). Luckily, i found necro helm to score 8 
Killing balrogs right away was unimaginable for fortress as there was no haste or endurance in the guild (also low mana). Same logic with Storm titans and wolves. Both battles would have been suicide at that point so my only option was the long way to death garrison.
The way final went with atb, luck and blindness (even on lavas) there was little chance even if i added the rest of troops from castle. So, the massacre was logical...
Kis used power of sylvan very well and made good strategic decisions. This was clearly his best game i've seen. 
Last game will be commenced in several days...

It ended very fast because Kispagat managed to deliver a succesfull first strike, and because of the big amount of lucky/favoured strikes. Lack of Enlightment obviously played a big part in the game outcome, even though might stats, especially attack were strangely high for the dwarfs.
Also tactics could make Helmar's ability shine, but as it was, Helmar spells came too late to matter, and instead Ylthin's unicorns murdered anything they encountered.
Add to all these bumps, the 15 Flamelords lost in the first battle, and you have the picture of a balanced battle turned into massacre

Matchups for final:
1. Ellaine-Yrbeth
2. Nathir - Helmar
3. Kilghan - Helmar
4. Yrwanna - Dirael
5. Ellaine - Vinrael
First heroes are mine. Quite hopeless.
I stroke out 5 and 3.
Strider stroke the first one. He is thinking atm.

Current status:
Day 9
Kis has Lethos vs my Talanar (no Ossir or Ythlin in tavern).
Game has been advancing good for both of us till the announcement of new week that turned out to be Week of Fever. I couldn't believe it hehe
Anyway, week 2 will be interesting especially for might faction in this duel...

I agree that week of fever is on my favour if I can take main land garrison. Lethos must use his speciality, otherwise it can be a slaughter. I hope wolves, sky daughters and cyclops will be poisioned

Ye, poison not worked that well, as in first garrison. 2 hydra hurts, but its a long way, week of hydra will deal with it  .
Also, I made a mistake with earth elementals, they should kill sprites and move closer to arcanes in the other fight. It would not be significant, just maybe 8-16 mana more.

Ye, Kis exploited very well the abnormal mana pool for dungeon in this game (my elven Talanar with all arts has 15 knowledge). Also, he really needed to attack the garrison to acquire swift mind perk hehe But the most impressive fact about this battle is the courage it took. Very daring and far-going strategic decision. Perfectly done, Kis! 
Will see if sylvan's full army of 5 weeks including 3 mega dwellings can withstand dungeon's swift mind and spellpower ~45  The only regretful aspect is that in such battle neither me or opponent will have to use tactics skill - it will be a robust clash of rolling spiked meat ball vs casting destructive. But this is my fault - i should have picked academy-dwarfs pair if i really wanted a meaningful final of tactical skill. Maybe i dag my own grave hehe

Pretty impressive fight.. When I first saw the numbers I expected casualties, possibly a near suicide.

Very good one... it could've gone indeed towards a suicide, or a lot heavier losses.
