Tournament of Dragons

[DoomCarrot]

Just out of curiosity, what is the point count in that game lol? It looks like you own at least 3/4 - 4/5 of all the tcs but it is hard to tell with that screenshot

[Menselot]

I have captured all the cities except 2 (king Lawrence has them)

[DoomCarrot]

Yeah you have that game in the bag then pretty much

[Ayush Tiwari]

Well,I am having a good enough start,however,I'll have to be aware of him.Since this an elf vs orc battle.A little wrong step and it will be the end for me.So I will put some effort and will try to encounter the most necessary thing-spearmen,because they disturb my strategy.And as soon as I see him building great tree,I will unleash my dragon.Because there is something which need to defeat him,and that is speed and range

Well!! I finally managed to get my old account back! I had just forgotten the username, then I tried every single username I ever used for all my online games (some 5-6 different ones) and one eventually worked.
If you still feel like having a match @General Brave the challenge is still up.

[General Brave]

Since that I am a nobleman. You have first pick of the battlefield.

Game name: Vs. General Brave
Password: ihopeiwontlosetooquick (yes i'm the most confident person ever, ik )
If the settings/map aren't to your liking let me know and I'll change them.
Also, just as a side note, if I get wrecked real bad don't think I'm a terrible player, it's just that this is the first serious MP game I have played in a while.

[General Brave]

It's fine, I see that you are playing as the Orcs. Are you not confident of winning, so you pick a race stronger that me. Just joking Maybe.

Does anyone else wants to watch?

[Sunrise Samurai]

Sure, just make a new topic for it here

Same for any other side matches. We're all happy to see people's games

[General Brave]

There it is.

[Ayush Tiwari]

Oh!Finally image posted.You can see me as orcs and SacredNut as elves.This,by the time shows that he has got enough troup for handling things.But he is battling orcs and so its not easy for him to roll up when I will have more Uruk Hai.My raptors,will keep him stopped there for sometime.And very soon,I'll have another troll headhunter,and elite headhunter upgrade.I have an orc leader to crush his army from middle.Meanwhile,the uncaptured TCs to the right will be captured by my troll headhunter.

You can use the [img] link to post it here and have a reasonable size that we can actually see

[DoomCarrot]

Looks fairly balanced. Once again elves rush across the map like lightning, but the headhunters really stop them in their tracks. Looks like a pretty balanced 7-7 tc game so far

[General Brave]

Not really, Doom Carrot. I can see a couple of way for the elf to win, that is if they take the risk.

[DoomCarrot]

Ansolutely, but the gane could still easily go either way, depending on what they are producing/how they use their units in the next few turns

[General Brave]

Maybe try to build a couple of sentinel and maybe a centaur. A elf wizard will help a lot. And try to build the great tree, the dragon is quite useful for fending off attack. Just make sure have a Healers and two nearby.

[Skelegonsans]

Looks balanced indeed, but one slip from either side can turn the tables suddenly.

For Orcs I'd recommend doing more Uruks (mainly Uruk Hai and Uruk Archer) and upgrades, and Headhunters, also a few Raptors, Shamans and Archers. Though they are looked down on by most Orc players since recent additions to the Orcs have kind of offset them, I'd recommend getting a Warg Rider upgrade for the Wolves, and them make some of them as well. With the extra+1 speed they can be very useful to rush isolated elf soldiers, and are also a bit tanky and car resist some attacks before falling. Ettins will also help a lot in the late game and sieges, and so will orc warriors, but maybe leave them for later. If the enemy spams elf warriors (spearmen), make more archers and a few more Raptors; that combo seems to be effective against them (just obviously don't let the Raptors get hit by them).

For Elves, I'd recommend doing Archers/Quick Archers for the frail units, Dryads and Dragons for the tanky units, Elf Warriors to counter enemy Raptors and maybe Wolves if they have it, and Druids/Wizards for support in combat. Try spreading small Archer parties here and there, either for distraction or to try and rush a TC. Do a lot of pressure and don't let Orcs build their numbers faster than you as that will spell your end. If having trouble against the Uruk Hais, try getting more Wizards and Dragons, Wizards will summon Ents to stop the enemy from wiping out your Archers and endure hits, while the Dragons can engage individual Uruks successfully. When you get an advantage, do siege ents (the rock throwing ones) to take down enemy structures (take down Uruk tents and volcanoes ASAP), also useful for support with their long range. Also upgrade your archers ASAP to be able to harass / kill the weaker units / archers.

I don't play this game for a long time so that advice might not be 100% accurate, but from my experience these work pretty well.

[DoomCarrot]

It is mostly good advice skele, although I generally avoid orc warriors like poison when I am playing against elves.

sunrise please create a mach 4 us. thanks

[Ayush Tiwari]

Here starts,the brighter part,my volcano has started for construction,Another uruk just arrived,orc dock constructed,orc leader,has started for the hunting in the center.I upgraded to elite troll headhunter,the coming turn,my raptors will also upgrade to elite.There is more surprise for SacredNut,but that's a part of secret strategy,so I don't think I should tell that.

[Ayush Tiwari]

Also,zurgo is a big part for all this

[Ayush Tiwari]

And a good news is that my winter and christmas holidays are started.And I will finish preparing 2 campaigns,and will try to send them to Daniel,before 2nd Of January.
Have A Nice Day Everybody

[Sunrise Samurai]

sunrise please create a mach 4 us. thanks

Created. I know I've played you on this map before, so I figured you would be fine with it.

Game is: Sunrise vs. Stratego
Password is: Tournament

[Skelegonsans]

@doom carrot
Against elves they're kind of bad, yes. But they can be still useful if you have already breeched the enemy's fortifications and is looking to take down buildings quickly. Not to mention they might draw fire from Archers and keep your more precious units from taking damage. But I also avoid making them at the start / middle of a match

[DoomCarrot]

Lol well played Menselot, you have essentially defeated him. All he has is one gryphon rider
