The map Dark Forest the players me Level 13 Random with partners Level 9 Random and a Level 8 Random against I think a Level 12 Night Elf, Level 10 Undead and a Level 10 Night Elf. Basically the type of game setup that makes me get so mad I quit for the night or I win and feel special.

My random partners got human and orc basically making me salivate at the options although goin against night elf makes me wonder if they could ever matirialize.

To start things off I took some ghouls and did some traditional creeping knowing well I need high level heroes well red did some scouting and said yellow was massing archers so I thought I could pay him a visit to decide if he would be our first rush victim. The pictures below will describe these events.

So here we are a lil of the way in and I just raped T16's archers although losing 1 ghoul in the struggle I call out if we gonna rush we need to do it now. While waiting for them I creeped the merchant telling red to pick up some stuff to help the cause did he do it I doubt it hehe.

The failed first rush pics r below as nice as it looks we just didnt have the firepower I should have waited for a few more necromancers.

The rush on blue was a success in some forms and a disgrace in others Red had bad placement with his healing wards for one and secondly he tried to fight yellows army of hippographs solo just a click on top of us. Yellow basically crippled what Red had including his last Witch doctor and making time for Orange to send a army of gargoyles at us.

The worst part of well this battle is our armies are stripped of men for the moment and what they have is riding towards Pinks Expansion. Worst Part is Pink still hasnt learned that some battles arent worth fighting by the time he answers me screaming back out u cant win that he loses his archmage, some gryhons, some footies, some sorcs/priests which is well very wasteful for someone bout to lose their income.

Worst part is now they push forward all those men at his main so with what red has stocked and I have coming we make a push towards their expansions knowing for the moment blue is at least neutralized. I also prepare my base for the worst and tell them to get a few peons/peasants out themselves just in case. I also go and expand myself knowing any gold I can get before they push through his base and mine is a plus.

Eventually, they see that we have hit too many of their expos and once again stopped Blues Potm from hitting level 6(I think this potm has the same experience up until it she dies for the final time hehe 75% of the way to 6 that is) So they pull out and come after us once again taking out a lot of our men but at least my base is standing too bad they also had some men demolishing Reds main. On our way retreating I pay those poor hunts and 1 chimera a visit heh for some free xperience basically.

I dont know if this made them mad or what but they send the whole damn army to topple my base next. Then reds expansion so I decide I will try and steal their expo mines and maybe get a necropolis in to make it a Halls of Dead to have a last stand shot at their air assualt.

Well my partners left and basically the hope of winning is gone all we have left is a peasant my army consisting of 2 heroes and some ghouls and a crypt fiend till they all out target it knowing its web powers are critical to me and a Level 6 Mountain King and 2 almost dead knights. So I continue on being the sore loser I am trying to chip away and avoiding the main forces lucky for me they had them split up some trying to find me, some trying to find my buildings and some protecting their bases and this all well played into my hand.

About this point they had to hate me and I knew it Viper55 even left to go get some dinner thinking his allies would nail me sooner or later he left his comp on though which well to me was very kind but wasted my time later on.

Ironically what I was left with was more then enough to get by with in fact after a few farms I realized I had enough to build a town hall.

Things were getting quiet and I had to keep his men occupied and scattered so I got my shade moving and low and behold they tried to mass all their men around a final expansion attempt this was something they should have done long ago and had me nervous.

So using my better then them abilities or basically luck and moment call I sent my infernal to Yellows main hoping to draw some if not all of their men out sad thing was it worked heheh.

In the meantime they managed to destroy my first town hall but 2 very brave peasants in milita form got away and so it began again the chase and the battles and fleeing.

Eventually, after a few more farms I realize once again I have enough for a town hall one in which I build up top in the middle so its not as easily detected by rovers. I then send the 2 peasants to 2 different mines and sit back and guard my town hall knowing they cant xpand and they cant make anymore men.

Eventually, one of the players leaves I believe it was orange and he was kind enough to say gj I appreciated this for well more ways then one it signified i was now in charge of this match and what I did would decide who would win and well what I did I consider brilliant or well compared to what they tried.

I stayed and guarded my town hall and sent my infernal out to destroy their bases piece by piece sure it would take time but I wanted to win and was already in this game pletny long. On one of my trips with the infernal though he encounters everything they have left and everything the yellow NE had for buildings that could be moved I realized it was the final push and my victory was upon me.

With a lil work and a few dead ghouls and basically a lot of dancing around with my MK waiting for his storm bolt to regenerate I was victorious although my newb lesson of the day for myself was yes carrion swarm hits air something I never thought about or realized since I rarely encounter all air forces.

I would like to say the victory march to finish off orange and them was sweet although bitter sweet was when I noticed orange had hid his acolytes at the bottom so good in fact his partners didnt see them before he quit and I didnt notice them till my infernal found them. Also about this time Blue(Viper55) came back to call me a geek for winning and I cant blame him I would be pissed if I lost this way then again I never would have left either.

Thank you for reading my report I only did this after the accident that was my last one which I really only meant to post the replay too bad I cant 300kb max and the replay is 353.
