Looks like TDEs, DDs and tribals rules this event. If you face a team of these factions, there should be a surrender button (not to waste 30-60min).
Elfs, dwarves and wizards are not going too well. | It's high time Dominion of Fire is nerfed.

100 gremlins one-shot 25 T5 units?!?!?! | | Armour was damaged, and luck it and no barrier in the way I think? | for Meshy:
Yes, all three of those factors + the fact that it was in 6 range = easy shot :D | It's high time Dominion of Fire is nerfed.
Seconded. It's simply too efficient and versatile. | https://www.lordswm.com/war.php?warid=796988482
2 defensive faction vs Dof
Still win | The worst win for me so far. Terrible and disgusting. battle, oppnent team full of darkness spells and nbelievably lucky first moves of guardians and ogres, our team 2 x UN... we won after 1 hour and 40 minutes although opponent after a hour tryed to make us surrender (he wrote 100% win and so I thought but didnt want to give up).

https://www.lordswm.com/war.php?warid=797747158 | i'd like to say a couple of things:
first of all, during this event i met a lot of people making fun of their allies. now, everyone can make mistakes (like in that battle where griffins dive on the ally's goblins), but the key to win is cooperation.
I played against a lvl 17 who invested plenty of money in the game (with UCI and high FSL all over), and he was just unbearable with his team mate.
Yes, the guy was 2 levels below, and didn't really do much, but again, instead of telling off each other they could just explain..
Other times, it's the guy that want you to do a serie of completely stupid moves, like take retaliation on a stack that they will not be able to attack, or exposing to doom your main stack, basicly their strategy is "get suicided, and then i'll think of something". And when you don't follow (obviously) it's open bar for a flood of mockeries and insults in public chat (that opponents help developing, as it makes easier for them to win).
Yet, the few times i met a decent partner that actually exchanged opinions (and was decently set up), we got even the hard wins.
So the bottom line there is: be more condescendant, they won't always be, but if some that didn't start to be, it's all the better chances to find a good partner. Hatred calls for hate.
Second thought is on DoF: people complain about the only skill that BW have available to compensate for the missing dark/holy spell panoply their opponents have!
I accept to loose the DoF advantage, if everyone else is ready to get rid of all those spells that speed up/delay, effects that reduce damage (like that tribal spirit that make a stack of 36 genies kill one lvl 3 warlord out of a stack,and get annihilated by the same stack 20 seconds later) and so on..
Also DoF is directly dépendent on the fire damage: fire-immune creatures don't get the def reduction, and magic resistance also reduces it.
Not a rant, just a different point of view ;) | Other times, it's the guy that want you to do a serie of completely stupid moves, like take retaliation on a stack that they will not be able to attack, or exposing to doom your main stack, basicly their strategy is "get suicided, and then i'll think of something".

93# Best comment 2016 Imho.
YET I have to say:
Lets be honest, you dont have to be very intelligent to know when your Ally needs you to take Retal, or block an enemy unit from attacking him with a Stack of yours.
Without he telling me anything, Im gonna take Retal of nearby enemy units if he needs it, because its is VERY OBVIOUS if a big enemy stack is coming and I have a "1" Stack near, or sacrifice a unit to avoid him taking damage by blocking his path.
... SO Im gonna demand you have the same amount of intelligence and do the same, problem is when you dont Retal/Block/WaspSwarm even after me telling you with Google Translate...
BUT also sometimes "Tactical Skills" or whatever are less important than it seems sometimes Tbh.
After playing these recent Tournaments/Events lately, I realized there are some battles you just CANT win (Lets be honest here, you cant win all).
I realized right when entering the Battlefield you have a X-Y% chance to win WAY WAY before even making Settlement or beggining to play.
The combination of Factions in a team, the Items (Choice between Ring of Thorns and Dragon Eye Ring, for example), the Talents (Necro with full Def Talents, or Necro with Vitality + Mass Delay, etc...), decide A LOT before playing.
Also things like having 5 FSL in all Factions, high TG level (Or no TG at all)... Make a big difference.
Some battles I had the feeling I had between a 20-30% chance to win (And not 50%) before even playing, sometimes the situations and their outcomes are really really obvious.
Others the chances were like 70-80%, we had the situation in control from the beggining, and others were balanced battles (20-80%? to win) where our decisions made the battle go well or bad.
I propaply didnt explain myself too well, but you get the overall idea.
Also, wise comment from "Slust" in another Thread:
I liked it more in low level. 4 5 speed on average made the game more strategic. Now anything can reach anything in 1 move and armies are more and more about range (charmer, fury barby, battlewise) that too really dumbs down strategical planing to sum up as who get more ini so that genies move before uni and battlemages move before goblin archers.
Random thoughts Xdddd
No, but seriously though: Just wanna point out that when you enter the Battlefield in PvP the chance to win is not 50% like many people think, and that very often Factions/Stats/Talents decide more than "Strategy". | for Ipsen: (Lets be honest here, you cant win all).

DE (or TDE?) lvl 14, finished 20 with 100%
seen many at CL 14 and CL 18 above 90% win rate as well.
how about stop beeing pessimistic, work on your char, simply focus to be better ;) | for guyb:
playing pvp games with russian speaking people makes it impossible to cooperate,my advice dont play pvp | for Fallen Atheros:
I used translator, it was OK | the problem is not much an issue of language, but behavior.
Often (but NOT always) a russian player matching an English speaking one just says "oh damn, i'm paired with one of those". And that is enough to screw the game.
Also a lot of people come in with a strategy (and adjust their build in consequence) and can't adapt to the situation.
Ther are times when one just can't jump in the fight from start, and on the opposite, pushing the wait button more than 3 times consecutively virtually enters self destruction mode: at some point one must attack.
And #94
i agree, there are some battles that the average player just can't win, due to pairing or setup, but there are a lot where the issue is uncertain, and the balance shifts a few times during the course of the match.
I played 50 battles, and only won 13. Part of those were really close, and some losses are definitely my fault; but i think that more than half of the losses may have been won if we had worked with the partner. | What i learned from this tournement is how unbalanced mixed matchuups are, i was playing as a dark demon had 19 wins and 9 losses, for my 20th win i got 11 losses in a row
because of these factors which counter me completely
-i was higher lvl with low lvl partner
-vs 2 necro
-vs 2 spell mages
-vs necro and spell mage
* and 2 games where very very close and i lost because of a small mistake or morale/luck roll 4x in a row while opponent had 1 luck | I finished with 69% win rate at CL 13 as Dark demon
Language is not a problem because google translate already sufficient and also we can simply say the stack number.
Behavior is not a problem too, only 2 of 29 battle I get uncoperative partner. I guess the higher the CL, the less "kids mentality" player.
Again, instead of asking your partner to do better you can always rework your strategy. dont simply auto-settlement in every battle. if you do better, in average you can have higher win rate. |
