My strategy was to get the Party-Robots and try level them up to gold for the fire-works, so I just built a few engineers for roads, a few musketeers to defend behind the walls and then 1 turn robots for the rest of the game. I also went for advanced logistics for the extra movement on roads, but it takes a while to research!
I took a few screenshots, here is one from when I cleared a Sanctum, the reward is not bad! Not as good as a summoning spell, but I will take the 900 mana thank you very much.
Here is the last one, where Chive attacked me outside his gates, might have been more causalities on my side if you stayed behind your walls!
Thanks for the game and good luck in the rest of the tournament!

CHAARGE! ;-)
I knew you would expect me to play necro so I practiced goblin dread ever since I saw the roster
Arctic concealment, cave concealment - your armies were annoyingly invisible. I tried to sneakily get to you through the underground but ran into roaming bone dragons and had to backtrack, which further slowed me down.
In my opinion Goblins and Hafling is the hardest class to play, so 1/2 is done for each of us. I was half expecting you to play Necro, so I thought Dreadnought would be a good counter, but I must say it was a good surprise you also play Dread, so I got a bit more time to build a proper army. There was 2 times where I was vulnerable for attack, because my scouts couldnt cover all the area where you potentially could be, it was the turn after I re-took my human vassal city, then I had only 9 units defending, then the turn before you took the city, there i had the same 9 units next to the crystal tree. Not sure if you saw them, but the following turn you took the city.
I made a massive mistake on turn 1 which slowed me down to a crawl. But I see potential in the gobbos :-)
I will probably slow down a bit next week but squeezing in 2 matches before next round should be possible
No matter the outcome, I offer you a rematch to practice for the next round. We will for sure have time for both 1 and 2 matches before the other games are finished!
Nice pace btw :-)Â

Round 1 : 2017 PBEM Duel Tournament #5
In order to avoid advantaging one team or the other, for each match, the team who will host the match was randomly selected. The first team in the "turn order" above (who is also the team on top in the tree here must host the game.
Any of the players in the team can host. The host must play in #2 position in the turn order (please check rules for more details).
Tournament Game #5 Round 1 !
When players do not show up for their match, the Tournament Judges have the right to change the match!
I run GOG version btw.
Gonna rejoin in a minute.
Fixed and re-hosted, for some reason I also got a incorrect mod warning, even though I hosted with main branch PBEM mod.
chiveicrook, did you join with beta or without? Anyway it's re-hosted now anyway, please join again.
I will host the game now, before you join and the game can start, please send your class-race to Hiliadan and Fistandtilus (not to me!).
Best of luck and good game!
