And here is said video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozXD4mCCnOY
A wizard with no spells against a Fortress with no damage! An hour-long fight ending in a fortress victory because of a careless mark of the wizard moment and just too much rune insanity. Why are wizards forbidden from having expert artifacts but fortress have such insane runes? I don't know!

That was interesting I was rooting for the wizards but those pesky dwarves have crazy survivability. Surprised both factions had wm, I make it a habit to avoid it vs academy due to sabotage and vs fortress because they have good ranged power, a threat to my ballista. Buff stealing rune was painful though casting more mass spells could have hurt their odds of stealing the one they want. Stormwind turned out great, slowing both the phoenix and thanes. Runes are far from unlimited btw, there are enough for each unit to cast once and two units can reuse it with greater rune. Unless the dwarves get lucky with fine rune.
At any rate congrats to both, that was an excellent replay. This marks the end of the first round and it's time for the next one! But I am currently a wreck and have a crazy day ahead of me so I won't be posting the new maps before 15-16:00 tomorrow
For now I'd like some confirmation of who is in for the cup.

Round 2 is the semi-finals. In the main tourney we have..
Stevie vs LordMichal

Cup of the fallen will follow the same format.
Gameslayer vs Diegis
MonsterMash vs Aionb
Aionb will probably be busy for the remainder of this week but he should have time next week.
Games will be decided in the best of three.
Good luck everyone

A reminder on the changes:
- Puppet formula closer to H5.5.
- Corrupt soil from 4 to 3 dmg/lvl.
- Marksman precise shot from 5 to 4 tiles.
- Shadow mistress swift attack.
- Extra resources for the arcane library.
- Light/Dark spells with mass versions have reduced mana costs. Spellcaster mana costs tweaked accordingly.
- Necromancy bonus units reviewed.
- Bloodrage gets +5% boost and executioners +1 speed so that they do not have to rely on tactics. Their lvl 1 bloodrage no longer gives +1 speed but +1 init.
- Goblin witch doctor defile received a significant boost. Effects trigger often but are less potent.
- Cold death removed and ice spells slightly boosted. Warmachines are now safe from insta-kills and phoenix is no longer immune to ice.
Cup of the Fallen changes:
- Week 6 armies.
- Ballista dmg slightly increased.
- Armageddon enabled for dungeon, inferno, necro and academy.
- Empowered armageddon is bugged and its use is not allowed. It has been renamed to DO NOT CAST! with a description saying BANNED DUE TO A NUMBER OF BUGS. Avoid.
- Mass spells affect all units and are slightly less effective except decay and vulnerability that remain 4x4.
- More artifacts.
- Same changes is above, except corrupted soil remains at 4 dmg/lvl.

Stevie said: Elvin, please generate the strikeout lists and post them both here, then let everyone strike out their match-up of choice. I believe that's for the best.
Agree, generate it for each match and post it here pls. Also I would suggest that the first player will always be RED player, second one BLUE. That needs to be agreed on before posting the strike out results.
The example would be: Palingenesis (RED) vs Green Dragon (BLUE) etc.

Thank you Elvin! Just pls 2 more for each match - as we play BO3. Maybe upload a file containing the generated match ups, so it won´t take so much space on HC.

Alright, investigation complete. The extra 5% to bloodrage is removed and defile odds are also reduced by 5%. We're good to go, enjoy
Map Links!
As a reminder, W5 2.0 is for main and W6 for cup. Not recommended to have them both in the map folder, it will likely cause checksum error when trying to connect with other players.

Had an awesome couple of games with palingenesis the other day My light/dark academy lost to his dark/wm haven and his summoning/dark/wm necro lost to my destructive fortress, both long and interesting. Replays to be posted later
Edit:
Replay links!
Academy game I had 2/2/13/18 and palingenesis and impressive 4/21/5/9. Not just the defense, that was one hell of a mana too! Mass decay and corrupted soil was slowly eating at him while I was sustaining losses constantly from his units and ballista. My units could not do much so I had to heal, curse and generally stall. His vampirism was also a pain to deal with - it made me miss summoning Excellent game.
Palingenesis next game had his necro at 2/10/14/11 and my runemage at a less impressive 3/8/12/10. Frenzy and wm put pressure on me, considering that my destructive was a bit underwhelming. And then that phoenix and his indestructible elementals! Warlock's luck refused to favour me but I got some sweet lucky hits which did not agree with his basic defense. For a while I thought I was sentenced to a slow death but little by little the game started turning around. Eventually I survived with my shieldguards and half of the bears.

I'm currently experiencing some troubling times, my health and sleep schedule are not the best. Some exams soon to come and I have to focus on my studies. I'll try to find some time (and motivation) to play my games within the weekend, but I can't promise anything.

Hi everybody, I received today my projects for the next 2 weeks and I'm completely full until 18.12. I'm afraid I'll have to step back from the tourney. The best I could do would be a single game with each of the 3 players. Best out of 3 with each of them is completely out of the question for me. I'm really sorry for the trouble.
