I will of course continue to record any duel I play, I just hoped that with the tutorial posted, other people would do so too... Ah well.
Do You find the progress updates useful?
yes, I do. thanks for that.
do you mind if you could make a game of Haven vs Necropolis, both Magic (or Might if you want)?

Hehe, polyglot is not used to having his ranged forces blocked. And as much as he likes sanctuary, he cannot guard himself well against the naga's advance A flood conjuger can be so much more than a passive destructive caster. In many ways the nagas play like the H5 elves, you can charge straight ahead leaving your ranged fire in the back unprotected. Even if you disable one unit, the rest can butcher you just fine.

Really? LOL. Thanks for continuing not to sue me, Ubiholic, I appreciate it. (BTW Ubisoft + Black Hole + Limbic = Ubiholic. Logical, isn't it?  )

the last one (Pyromancer vs Inquisitor) was really intense! at first i thoght the Haven army is going to rape the Demons, but the tables turned. was a close fight in the end though, i didn't expect such a recovery. especially the Angels probably gave Polyglot some headache (when Elvin used Guardian Angel IV on them).

Yes I needed more mana, what I wouldn't give for a good lightning bolt or two That meditated inferno really kept me on edge, at some point I thought I escaped it fiery loop but it jumped again and again! I remember I also miscalculated with my vestals when I thought that they would pacify the tormentors but their retaliation shredded them badly  Unfortunately I could not get a good use of my blizzard scroll as it cannot be used over obstacles due to a bug. Doubt it would have changed much anyway. In retrospect I should have saved meditation for later, so that it would replenish more of my mana.

Oh, so it jumped after it hit the Glories? Weird, I didn't notice anything, I thought I screwed it up. It was the arties that bent the duel in my favor, I didn't do anything special - besides suiciding half my army in the first few turns. And, as usual, I only won by a narrow margin, thanks to that Blizzard bug and huge amounts of luck. 
@Angel resurrection: Only the duration of the invulnerability surprised me, by then Elvin didn't really stand a chance.
Elvin, what did You think of my build?
@Zenithale: Thanks!

You had the +10 Mana per turn during the 10 first turns, Inferno Magic heros have the special ability to reduce Mana costs by half (50% of the time), and you had Breeders who drain Mana when they shoot.

Polyglot(War Master) vs Elvin(Storm Caller)
This was as much an experiment as a duel. Previously, I had mentioned to Elvin that Stronghold Magic seemed a bit underpowered when paired with a Might opponent, because - lacking access to Prime magic - they are pretty much forced to go hybrid. (I only picked Nagas because Elvin said it was no problem)
As You can see, Nagas can be effectively countered by blocking their initial, Trail of Clouds-aided charge - admittedly hard to do because of their high initiative -, trapping Kirins, and blasting Kappas before they get a chance to leap.
I could only come back because Elvin didn't have much experience with Stronghold, but the fact that he managed a close loss speaks volumes about his skill.
This duel also shows the weakness of the current luck system: Boosting the Kirins' already high base luck value made almost all their attacks lucky, creating a huge imbalance. Either the skill bonus or Champions' base values should be toned down to prevent such exploits in the future, IMHO.

I do plan to reduce the kirins by 1-2.

Err, I meant base luck values, but that's also a good idea.

(New duel 'll be up tomorrow afternoon, and I'm sorry MeanMan, but we forgot your request. Not to worry too much, the duel after that will feature them instead, OK? Meanwhile, a surprise is coming up, courtesy of Elvin. )
never mind.
looking forward to your new battle and the "surprise". gg.

You are going to laugh but the reason they did not work was two empty spaces in the end I backspaced twice and they loaded normally.

Polyglot(Chieftain) vs Elvin(Chaos Lord)
Placement, placement placement... I have nothing to say for myself, I throughly deserved that trashing. (I didn't have a plan, apart from a vague outline of my opening, which proved to be my undoing. But what can one do, with Erwan's advice ringing in their ears, while panic dulls everything else?... )

Groggy from sleep, I had one of the worst beginnings possible not so much out of bad luck but because I played that bad. Placing my units in the front with total disregard for enemy speed boosters, charging with pitlords against a counterstrike III army with luck skill maxed wasting the blind scroll on the centaurs and then changing my mind and using gating IV on tormentors.. Polyglot seized the opportunity and punished my reckless placement with a simple rush! and a well-placed cyclops smash. By all accounts the game should have been lost then and there but I decided to play a last card, the ravager's taunting presence: Moving him out of reach but still close enough to taunt the cyclopes into not wanting to attack anyone else. I couldn't count on the lilim for long but the lucky pit lords frenzying polyglot's back lines, the awesome tormentor entry and the subsequent gates swarming all over the place and scoring lucky hits managed to turn the game around. That chieftain had a lot of physical defense but barely any magical which made my gated lilim/breeders his natural weakness.

(@Meanman: That matchup is cursed. I've got the first half, but then Elvin disconnected. Consider it a puzzle: Given the situation, who could have won, and why? Replay up around Thursday at best)
okay then, just drop it. It's alright, at least you tried.
