In the first game I was hoping for standard LM Haven aggro, but best light spell I got was Divine Strength. I went for archery and trained Zealots, hoping to clone them and Crossbowmen with Phantom. However, he had Defense and Evasion and higher defense than my attack, so it didn't went well. Basically I was waiting for him to kill me.

SKPRIMUS:Mohikanin 2:0
Thanks for games Mohikanin, I got lucky I think
Gm1 SKPRIMUS king tolghar d Mohikanin freyda
This was couple nights ago...was initially worried after levelling perfectly to find low defence stat & tried mentoring enlight to change the numbers but it went one point worse {but high sp/kn was the result which in the end was not too bad} Mohikanin had a misclick with the vindicators but didn't want to replay the battle & conceded after a while...
Gm2 SKPRIMUS grawl d Mohikanin yrbeth
I was sure he'd go destructive & I had magic boots of 10% resist as well as making sure I had the magic res perk. One of the 2% demonlord skills turned up which really helps vs dungeon & I had to mentor several times to ensure I got battle frenzy & hence powa of speed plus also had the dragon armor...I thought WOAH when I first saw the dungeon hero's stats & he had seal/shrug darkness to make me think twice about PM etc but in the end, unfortunately defence did not turn up for Mohikanin
Well albolabris, was it like you predicted?
Maybe I got lucky in matchups so far? [altho I'm sure the likes of Elvin/Zenithale/Arcax can beat me anyways as they prolly know many different ways to win - something I have to learn myself...maybe]

@SKPRIMUS
Indeed  Although majority of strikes here where from high level units with luck, delivering enormous dmg values i still think defense would help. For Hydra at least  What i don't understand a bit is spells casted by Mohikanin. If he went dark he probably had puppet or frenzy ( else no point in going for dark in my opinion ). With those he would gain much more than the slow/haste exchange.
Strange that you didn't finish the first battle. In my eyes it was not over yet.
albo vs Kispagat 2:0
1. Dungeon vs Academy
Tense game. I went for might build supported by the double elemental damage from Runeforce set and mof. You may see some great chain values on the replay in some strikes. Unfortunately i had bad luck in the opening and most important hits ( -1 was a pain in the ass). Thought it's over after i saw his Kshatras range, initiative and poor blackies action. What saved me here was Kispagats mistake - mass slow was the worst possible choice as an opening spell. After that he went for double frenzy which would be enough for sure if he would have defense skill or frenzied my stacks right from the beginning. In the end i had to gamble a bit with implosion and possible magic mirror counter. Fortunately spell worked and frenzied hydra picked his mages rather than my mistresses. If not i would probably lose it.
Replay 1
2. Necro vs Dungeon
Must say i was surprised when i saw Warlock's build. Beginning was just excellent for Kis. My dragons blocked by the tricky fury, good ATB bar, early morale which speed up ignited fireball on 4 of my units and after that my vampires with soldier's luck didn't torpor his blackies who devastated wraiths in a sec. Frankly, after that first turn i didn't believe it's possible to get out of this mess but the luck smiled at me. Lichmaster killed everything he touched almost instantly. Others also had powerful blows. Motn saved my ass in the end. I had mana and Kisp was empty. Again, he made some mistakes when casting imo. I personally would go for fireball all the time.
Thanks for exciting battles. I have no doubts that it could have ended 0:2 in Kisps favour.

Yeah that one was really neat  I guess if Freyda had Mass Cleansing or supress light the battle would went other way. Still Mohik had 10 Archangels and dwarfs werent dealing tons of damage hmm.

Finished 2-0 in my favor with Primus.
First game was my Haven vs his Dungeon. I didn't have righteous might so I tried Dark and it paid off reasonably well. An early Warlock's Luck might have saved him but he didn't get it:

Second game was my Fortress vs his Academy. Dwarves are racially superior:

Gm1: Couldn't get defence & thus needed warluck on 1st and/or 2nd casting...funny how it triggered when it was inconsequential...had all sorts of dark spells at the spell stones but that would have probably turned out more lopsided.
Gm2: A different first action by my hero would have made a huge difference...bliz also kinda knew what he needed to win...I learned something for academy in this game
I guess that's karma...maybe...
Thanks for games blizzard

@Primus
Mass slow is nice but countering each other's actions is like having might inferno vs might dungeon - it couldn't possibly end well. Also blackies were better off killing familiars instead of seducers, that way they'd kill a fast damaging stack and avoid the spawns hitting them.
Dwarves were a little lucky but I think it would be better if the archangels raised paladins instead of the easy to kill crossbows.
@Albo
Methinks the fury should block liches, would have spared the poor blackies a good shot. Grims should have probably charged but liches certainly should have been dealt with faster. Arcane armour on them wouldn't have been as effective with them damaged and ignited.
Played kispagat myself, ended 1-1.
First was my dungeon vs haven. I risked starting with a freeze so that my blackies could get a nicely boosted firebreath on champions and grims acting first was a bonus, however they made minimal kills  Unfortunately I didn't kill the last seraph which cost me a painful dv and the constant morale proved too much to handle. Was there a single action the champions did not get morale? Nice match either way.
Second was.. unconventional. I had academy vs orcs and seeing how my summoning spells were rather crappy I decided to go light for stormwind/mass endurance/RM plus dark. Along the way I got attack(power of speed), defense(preparation  ) but dark was not offered. I even skipped sorcery but with that build it wasn't a necessity. Split djinns and endurance minimized orc damage nicely but the major issue was those annoying obstacles. Kispagat even missed some.. His plan was empathic anger which did hit hard but the same could not be said of his army, my troops were pretty resilient. I wish the same battle had happened in a more 'normal' battlefield.
Replays
EDIT:
@Bliz
Yeah warlock luck came rather late Dragons could have smoked crossbows but not sure much would have changed, haven units were pretty damaging.

Man those gargoyles in the orc vs academy game were brutal. Interesting to see a light Academy prevail, though the terrain was favorable.

Just had my games with Elvin. I was Sylvan again... but it was fun the match up was Sylvan vs. Inferno in both games. We both got to play either side.
Well in the first one I was pretty lucky in the second he was pretty lucky, if I may say so. His seducers with 9 iniative acted before my 11 iniative Arcanes (GARRRGH), he got to scare my ponies on their first two actions without soldiers luck and well luck didn't really love me that much. Not sure whether it would have changed much in the long run but it was certainly annoying. Replays soon to follow~

Second game was my Orcs vs Inferno. His lack of strong spell probably cost him the victory.
Warmongers retaliation on Grunts after leap was priceless. 179 down yeah ! Lack of MotD was bad for Maniek, also he kept Spawns too long blocked imo...

Here they are, Azzie vs Elvin 1-1.
First game I had know your enemy which helped with favoured attacks, thing is my morale was decreased and mana was insufficient to use mass cleansing - that confusion hurt. Dragons blocked my arcanes due to 4% remaining seduction duration
Second one enlightenment and some good atb did the trick. Arties helped a lot with defense. Methinks Azzie didn't have enlight hence the low mana/defense?

Yeah no Enlightenment, I wanted to cripple you beyond help with a nice first strike (therefor no elder druids, my sprites could have reached your imps if not for them playing first or my dragons taking them out completly if they had luck) but needless to say that that didn't work out as planned. I'm deluded enough to think that it could have gone the other way if the atb wouldn't have bent me over and spanked me good.
And yeah the seduction lasting til after the arcanes played with 0.0001 left was awesome^^. I was pretty lucky in the first game so I can't really complain about the second.

We'll never know that, will we? Liked Zenithale's second game, a bit surprised he used weakening strike but -3 attack isn't that bad I suppose.
