Duel Map Replays!
Since Zenithale asked, I will be posting interesting duel replays here. And by interesting I mean well-fought, funny or plain bizarre  there may be some inconsistencies between the replays as the map is constantly updated and balance is re-evaluated.
I would be happy to see your comments on games you liked.
Here's the first batch
That was Close.sav
Destructive inferno(elvin) goes toe to toe with dark necro(poly) and it's actually close!
Fail.sav
Haven(elvin) stands its ground against necro(joonas) with marksman fire supported by healing paladins and ballista support.
InfernoComeback.sav
Very close game between inferno(elvin) and dungeon(poly).
AcademyMirror.sav
Academy mirror(elvin vs poly) games are probably not what most people would expect ^^
DungeonChargeVsOrcs.sav
Dungeon(elvin) with abnormally high attack takes the fight to orcs(poly)! Carnage ensues.
NecroMirror.sav
Necro mirror(elvin vs stevie) is probably not what most imagine either.
EpicNecroVsAca.sav
Necro with epic plague tent and destructive(stevie) vs destructive academy(elvin). Hilarious game 
MarksmanPwnage.sav
Destructive sylvan(joonas) vs haven(elvin). Lots of things go boom and marksmen do their thing ^^
TurtleMaster.sav
Light/summoning academy(elvin) tanks like crazy against summoning fortress(joonas)! Thunder thanes with arcane armour are a major pain in the @ss.
BattleDive.sav
Destructive academy(joonas) unleashes chain lightnings on a charging haven(elvin) while griffins dive all over the place!

Great, that's exactly what I wanted, thanks!
Dat Tier 2 Marksmen dealing 20 damage each!  I remember good memories with their Precise Shoot (and Bless).
Strangely my opponents played only the other upgrade...
Hehe, that was not a so good idea to jump with the demons against the Hydras able to retaliate against 3 Stacks with increased damage ^^.

lolwut
A haven mirror match starts going downhill for the second player way too fast!
Balance note: Mass spells have become 4x4 since.
RunicMachineStand
The dwarven forces hold a defensive line against a charging stronghold horde.
Balance note: Back in the day the map featured less cyclopes, thanes and magmas for balancing reasons. Since then magma and thane hp has been slightly decreased and all 3 units are back to full growth.
EpicDunVsOrc
A properly brutal game of might, magic and lots of luck triggers! Should be noted that retribution does not improve above 5 morale so the rallying cry was wasted 
Balance note: No melee penalty on the matriarchs helps!
AwesomeHaven
Another haven mirror. THIS is how you use marksmen
StevieCrazyDunVsInf
Insanely fast paced game Pay close attention after pit spawns are reduced to 5, after the counterspell. Whoever guesses what happened gets a cookie
Balance note: Now it is possible to get counterspell AND distract so it's harder to swap hero order.

I should note that I had MULTIPLE critical misplays. Try to count them all! Also should note, I played Destro Dung, not Elvin.

StevieDarkSumNecVsRegenDun
One of my favourite games, exciting from start to finish. My necro with dark, summoning and magical defenses(arcane ward, boneward, distract) faces stevie's destructive dungeon with a twist.
I believe that at some point I cast an unnecessary spell, making my endgame harder since I was running dangerously low on mana. Can you guess what I have in mind?
In general what mistakes can you spot on both sides?
There is a rematch from the same save, with same positions that I will post later 
Balance note:
- From a previous testing version or perhaps from an accidental copy-paste, the untrained regeneration gave a hilarious amount of resurrected hp, making it much much better than expert light regeneration Thanks to this mistake such an amazing game was possible ^^
- Red dragons have mind immunity, unlike in the original. This greatly influenced the battle since red dragons can be regenerated!
- The map was meant to require no resources for tier 7 units so that one could buy spells from the arcane library freely. Somehow that change was not saved and after visiting the library I realized I could only buy 5 ghost dragons instead of 10 ^^
Other notes:
- There is a replay bug that loses unit count after you cast arcane armour on them. Sadly all we can do is pay attention to how many units die or are raised after the spell is cast...

I remember those matches, and on both of them I made a mistake. I should've imploded those Banshees instead of relying on Warlock's Luck. Might've not mattered in the end, but the "what if" thought lingered.

With your amount of mana it would not have ultimately mattered but it is true that the wraiths were a real pain in the @ss for your dragons. Damn good game regardless.
Oh, I forgot to mention that the map version at the time was meant to require no resources for tier 7 units. By the time I noticed the bug, I had visited the arcane library and few resources remained for the dragons
