Match won after 10 turns, videos of turn 3 to 10 commented available here: https://www.youtube.com/playl... I didn't take much screenshots as the videos were more illustrative. Basically the game went like that: - I farmed XP with my 2 Necro heroes and got about 2 level every turn. I reached level 7 on turn 4 I think and got Greater Reanimate Undead, then the turn after I fought a difficult fight in a Tomb and almost died but got a Deathbringer (with 1 HP! see the video! ) - with my DB and the 2 Necro who reached level 9, I was able to start Ghoul Cursing everything; unfortunately, following a reload (because of hardware issues and one crash), I made a mistake (which I hadn't the 1st time) and lost my hero to a Sphynx on turn 1 of a fight that was otherwise pretty easy - from that point, I just rushed toward Eskild, ignoring sites not well located, and snowballing into a bigger and bigger army In parallel, a T3 Flyer (from starting army) and a T2 Raptor were looking for Eskild's throne. - I met Eskild in turn 7 I think. In turn 8, I found his leader very badly positioned, just in the path of a perfect Ghoul series of 3 sites. I Ghouled everything and stroke Eskild who got crushed. I had also spotted his hero at about 1 turn of the leader through a foraging Cheetah - In turn 9 I found Eskild's turn with my Flyer but had not enough MP to take it. I found his hero back, who was retreating toward the Throne and managed to attack it with newly Ghouled units (and an evolved spider) - In turn 10, I took the throne defended by 1 newly built Elder Pretty straightforward and won by farming XP more quickly than Eskild + better scouting. Match tainted by several reloads on my side (all justified by videos and screenshots, except one due to changing computer on round 8 because of serious hardware issues). Really sorry about and very annoyed by that....

Judges said the crashes were justified by proofs (videos or screenshots). So basically the match is over. Sorry to have had that many crashes, I would have felt better if we had replayed and I'd won again without crash.... So now the only I can propose is that we have a rematch outside the tournament, but we are actually fighting one match. Anyway, it will be my pleasure to replay against you later.
I play my current turns first and then I report then.
Ok I downgraded to Windows 7, it should work better now (I hope!). I go out, I'll play when I come back, I should be able to play my turn in 7-9 hours, but we will need feedback from the judge to proceed.
I've got a big problem with the computer. The start menu is not working any more "Critical Error. Your Start menu isn't working. We'll try to fix tit the next time you sign in." and I don't know if it's linked but today it crashed twice on our game. I made a video just after the crash, twice + screenshot... I need to find a solution. I don't see any except changing computer. The issue is my previous one is dead. So I probably need to use the one from my wife. I'll think about it tomorrow, now I go to sleep.
It sucks because this turn is pretty tense so it was really not the time for crash.............. I'm so annoyed and sorry. I should never have updated to Windows 10, it worked perfectly well before. I'll check tomorrow if it's possible to move back to Windows 7 or 8.
Hi Eskild! Sorry for the delay. The judges accepted the screenshot and didn't check the video so we can continue. It took more time than usual because after the reload, I had a fight with a different conclusion because I had not positioned the troops exactly as the first time (I didn't remember exactly the moves I had made and how the troops were positioned) and I asked if I could reload again to replicate the first fight (I had a screenshot of its results) but judge didn't agree (they didn't answer very clearly, which I take for a "no"). So eventually I continued with only 1 reload. I didn't have any other crash so hopefully, it was a bad days with 2 crashs separated by 30min or so, one on this game and the other on the SeeR game, and it won't happen again (that computer is pretty stable usually).
Hi Eskild, I just got a crash (following a similar crash in the SeeR tournament), I don't know what is happening because I never had crash before on that computer..... I took a screenshot just after the crash (I was in a battle I was winning, which can be more or less guessed from the screenshot) and I took a video afterward. I recorded the beginning of the turn earlier (as I'm recording parts of our match)... It's late now (in China) so I'm going to sleep. Please remove the turn timer, we need to get feedback from the judges...
In order to avoid advantaging one player or the other, for each match, the player who will host the match has been randomly selected by the Battlefield website. The first player in the "turn order" above (who is also the player at the top in the tree here: http://www.the-battlefield.co... must host the game. Please sign off when not playing!(Quit game) When players do not show up for their match, the Tournament Judges have the right to change the match!
Ok so we can start! If you want to change your class / race, please send the new one to Markymark and / or Fistandantilus. Otherwise you can rehost and repost the screenshots, except if the game is still hosted?
We discovered that Lightform had played twice the same race in round 2 and 3 (Elf)... It happened because unlike for other players, the judge usually checking the absence of repetition of race / class was playing against Lightform and thus did not have access to his class / race. However, this does not justify choosing the same race, which is prohibited by rule 5. Rule 5: "You cannot play the same class, or race twice in a row. You must let the Judges by private message in the Battlefield website BEFORE the match, but not your opponent, know what class and race you will play for your upcoming match. For example, if you play Human Theocrat, for your next match, you cannot be either Human or Theocrat." As a consequence, Fistandantilus and Markymark judged that the best solution was: 1/ to give a formal warning to Lightform and 2/ to replay round 3 match Lightform vs Hiliadan.
Round 5 game is suspended for now, pending new results from Hiliadan vs Lightform.
PS: I didn't see your edit, I thought the game was not yet up. It's actually fortunate we didn't start!
I have just sent my race/class choice to the judges so should be able to host the game soon. The password will be "Hafnium". Will post settings screenshots soon.

I let you host that one then!
And after that game, another game as a revenge to our current one (that I will surely lose, unlike the tournament one I hope!!!!).
