****************************************************************************** ** ** ** H'Pak Match Summary for 2001 1226 through 2001 1231: ** ** ** ****************************************************************************** ______________________________________________________________________________ 011226 2311 BT Killing G^ BC - Baak Wins Killing Grounds FFA: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor Baak quickly finds out where TS is... :) Some very funny moments! _____________________________________________________________________________ 011226 2317 BT Killing G^ BC - Baak Wins Killing Grounds FFA: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor This was a *quick* game!! Baak and TS start *right* next to each other and Baak only notices when his Wight (which he is sending into the water) ends up mingling with most of TS's army! BOOOM!! It's a fast a fierce Rocket Fight from there! _____________________________________________________________________________ 011226 2334 BT Dead of W^ BC - TS Wins Dead of Winter FFA: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor This one has some funny moments. TS *really* nails Baak's charging army (as they tend to string out in one juicy line!). Also catch the final Dorf hit! _____________________________________________________________________________ +011226 2353 BT Battle Ar^ StB - Baak Wins Battle Arena 2.0 / The Demolition Arena FFA: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor Wow did this one have a *tense* ending!! A *nail-biter*!! Came right down to the wire between two of TS's Demolition Ghols and one Baak Warlock and a Demolition Ghol. *Lots* of little battles, each of which could swing the whole game! _____________________________________________________________________________ 011227 0029 BT Gothic v1^ StB - Baak Wins Gothic v1 / Gothic (Dorf Riot) FFA: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor Baak gets the Bacon in a *heavily* defended position which is just plain tough to overcome. A couple of good Pathfinder Flares couldn't even dislodge the Bacon! _____________________________________________________________________________ 011227 0048 BT The Untam^ StB - Baak Wins The Untamed Lands FFA: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor Baak grabs the Bacon and after some Terrain Rebounds by TS gets the upper hand. Check out the floating Rocket near the end which just kind of lingers amidst TS's chargin army - and then goes off... _____________________________________________________________________________ 011227 0105 BT The Untam^ StB - Baak Wins The Untamed Lands FFA: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor Baak gets a great Bounce off a TS-induced Bacon Launch; Baak and TS have a great little one-on-one exchange around 8:00 left; Although it took *several* hits to nail TS's Warriors, once it happened... _____________________________________________________________________________ 011228 0021 BT The Untam^ StB - The Untamed Lands FFA: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor Baak lands a couple of deadly shots deep into TS's army early in the game; TS retaliates with the Avenging Death-Dorf From Hell; Baak manages to sneak in a *really* persistent Ghol to take revenge on the ADDFH! _____________________________________________________________________________ 011228 0038 BT Drowned K^ StB - Baak Wins Drowned Kingdom FFA: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor Dang this map is *so* confusing! Ha! With Rocket Dwarfs it is *really tough*! Some good small battles but mostly just poking around in the dark! Ha! _____________________________________________________________________________ 011228 0055 BT Nowhere_t^ StB - Baak Wins Nowhere_to_run / Nowhere To Run FFA: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor Baak gets in a shot on TS's Warlock and takes the Bacon to a defendable spot on the map. It seems to both TS and Baak that the map is a bit "quirky" with occassional "auto-pilot" *moves* by units! _____________________________________________________________________________ +011228 0116 BT Battle Ar^ Asn - Draw Battle Arena 2.0 / The Battle Arena FFA: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor This one gets the 3D Funk-o-Matic Award for the Week! Sak Cannons and a modified Lich unit called "The Wanderer" (the Assassin target). TS does a *nice* job taking out Baak's Cannons *early* and otherwise sending his army running! Baak sneaks in some Ghol Revenge and takes out TS's Cannons! Then Baak discovers that The Wanderer is as fast as a Ghol (!) and is *really tough*! (Check out the film!). ... hey, whatever happened to Baak's Wanderer, anyway? :) _____________________________________________________________________________ 011228 0134 BT Tamaerlin^ StB - TS Wins Tamaerlin / Tamrlin (light) FFA: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor Wow! What a **GREAT** map!! Baak nails TS's Bacon-snatching Ghols early on, lodging the Bacon at the base of Snow Falls. MUST SEE: Watch for Baak's Dorf on the Snowy Plateau! This little guy gets in a perfect shot at one of TS's Dorfs, only to have it bounce off - where it floats in front of *two other* Dorfs and explodes! In the meantime, he gets off a second shot at the original Dorf! Then another which hits *four* of TS's Wights (can you say BOOM!!) and while scrambling from TS's Warriors, manages to get another two shots off, killing a Warrior and a *squad* of Stygian Knights!! There's a funny moment when a Baak Dorf launches a Rocket against two TS Warriors and an Archer - it bounces, but just kind of floats along with them! ** BOOM!! ** LOL! ... Somebody get Baak a stopwatch or something!! This guy's army is asleep at the end! LOL!! Watch what happens *just* after the clock runs out... :) _____________________________________________________________________________ *011228 0153 BT Tamaerlin^ StB - TS Wins Tamaerlin / Tamrlin (light) FFA: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor WOW!! Check out the Opening Kick Off!! Baak sends two Rockets to the center of the map shortly after TS captures the Bacon... TS's Ghols *just* nudge the Bacon into the second Rocket and ***BOOOOOOM!!!*** - watch the Bacon sail around the map at Normal Playback Speed - I swear it *bounces* off the edges of the overhead map! LOL!! The Bacon ends up on the other side of the map (dang, is this a *cool* map, or what?). Baak almost loses *all* of his Warriors as they descend on the Bacon (what was he thinking?!) when two TS Dorfs nail them (and themselves!) TS sneaks a Dorf into Baak Territory - but this little guy is jinxed! - he *finally* gets a Baak Dorf via the Tree Technique and then fires a couple of shots *deep* into Baak's Territory that *just* (and I mean *just*!) miss being *devastating* hits! Baak has to take this guy out with a double-Wight Whammy (to be *sure* the blast gets him!) TS and Baak have a perfect one-on-one Dorf exchange ending in simultaneous deaths, followed by Baak sneaking a Dorf into TS's Territory. Although this Dorf is quite successful, Baak seems to have forgotten the object of the game is to *Steal the Bacon!* LOL!! GREAT GAME!!! _____________________________________________________________________________ 011228 2347 BNT Battle Ar StB - NKI Wins Battle Arena 2.0 / The Demolition Arena FFA: Baak'lor, Nokilli, Terd St. Ain OK, how many Baak Sandwiches have we had tonight?? :) Baak gets hammered early in this one and NKI sets up an excellent defensive position which is impossible to overcome. _____________________________________________________________________________ +011229 0012 BNT Gothic v1^ StB - TS Wins Gothic v1 / Gothic (Dark FFA) FFA: Nokilli, Baak'lor, Terd St. Ain Wow this was *close*!! Baak looked like he had this one, but TS played it really well sneaking in a Spider Steal at the end and some excellent tactics, reducing Baak to only one Wight! And one Wight against a Wight *and* a Dwarf is not good! _____________________________________________________________________________ 011229 0044 BNT Around th^ StB - NKI Wins Around the Bend M2 / Approaching Evil FFA: Nokilli, Baak'lor, Terd St. Ain Is it me, or do TS and Baak seem to "get into it" a lot in these 3-ways? :) NKI gets the Bacon and sets up an excellent defence which is just too much for either Baak or TS to overcome, especially after they hit each other with several small attacks. _____________________________________________________________________________ 011229 0104 BNT The Untam^ StB - TS Wins The Untamed Lands FFA: Nokilli, Baak'lor, Terd St. Ain NKI and Baak get into it early but overall a *close* game! NKI and Baak also are just a bit slow to get to the Bacon in the end... And it's tricky getting those Rockets to explode *in* the Pit! :) _____________________________________________________________________________ +011229 0122 BNT The Untam^ StB - NKI Wins The Untamed Lands FFA: Nokilli, Baak'lor, Terd St. Ain LOL!! OK, TS had an *excellent* sneak attack that nails Baak's Melee units that are *way* too bunched, followed by 3 of his Dwarfs that were retreating and just kept moving *into* TS's Dwarf! At 8:08 Baak went from 71% to 33% with TS's first hit... At 7:39 Baak went from 33% to 11% with TS's second hit... Leaving one wounded Dwarf (that was retreating to the Journeyman!) and two Ghols... Ah, but revenge is sweet! Baak's one Dwarf sneaks into TS's area and even though he misses two *really* sweet chances to take out most of TS's army, he ends up doing it anyway! Between 3:25 and 3:00 TS went from 69% to 3% after three Baak hits (one other shot *bounced* off two of TS's Dwarfs!)... This same Dwarf hit NKI from 76% down to 47% in the final two minutes, but it just wasn't enough... _____________________________________________________________________________ 011229 2346 BT Tamaerlin^ StB - TS Wins Tamaerlin / Tamrlin (light) FFA: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor Baak must be asleep or something?!? Check out the ending on this... Baak only has *four* Rocket Dwarfs within 30 yards of the Bacon who seem to be waiting for *something*! LOL!! _____________________________________________________________________________ 011230 0003 BT averyidi ^ StB - Baak Wins averyidi.0 / A Very Idiot Christmas FFA: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor Baak gets down to two injured Dwarfs and manages to push the Bacon out of the Pit and next to a hill which he defends - sound familiar? After some *tense* moments, the High Ground wins out. _____________________________________________________________________________ 011230 0018 BT Battle Ar^ StB - TS Wins Battle Arena 2.0 / The Arena of the Dead FFA: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor Funky Units! But a *great* game! Hats off to TS on this one for some *seriously excellent* gameplay! :) _____________________________________________________________________________ 011230 2334 BT averyidi ^ StB - TS Wins averyidi.0 / Frost on the Badlands FFA: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor Forest Giants! Check out TS's: Great colors for this map! Brrrrr! Baak was confused as heck on this one, and it *shows*!! Between getting hit *hard* by a TS sneak attack, to some *fatal* friendly fire damage right at the end, this one is definitely TS's... _____________________________________________________________________________ +011231 0000 BT Picket Fe^ StB - Baak Wins Picket Fences / Picket Fences - Light Side FFA: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor OMG: Rocket Dwarfs *and* Sak Cannons!! OMG: Baak has a Rocket Dwarf that is *completely charmed*!! Check it out: Not only does this one Dwarf consistently launch nice shots into TS's army before he's even in view (including an early hit destroying his Sak Cannon), but this Dwarf is *impervious* to attack!! TS sends out a Dwarf that has a *direct* hit on him which deflects to the side (far enough away to be harmless), and when the two Dwarfs trade shots the Rocket that hits Baak's Dorf *disappears* in his chest!! LOL!!! Funk File: Check out that watermelon by the shed near TS's starting area! Man does it get *pulverized*!! Also a shot by TS's Dorf that goes *inside* the stable in Baak's starting area before exploding! Nice shot! _____________________________________________________________________________ +011231 0022 BT Tamaerlin^ StB - TS Wins Tamaerlin / Tamrlin (light) FFA: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor *Another* great game on this map! And once again the Bacon gets LAUNCHED by a Rocket! TS pulls off an amazing sneak against Baak in this one. The Bacon comes to rest *directly* behind Baak's starting position, yet Baak *never* goes up and tags it nor does he send any units close enough to realize TS's *entire* army has moved into position around it! *And* Baak outnumbers TS at this point! *And* Baak has a Rocket Dorf *right there*!!! *And* Baaks launches a couple of shots into some units that come out of hiding (namely Archers) to attack the Dorf! Yet he doesn't pursue it enough and ends up losing the Bacon in a nice little Warrior Bottleneck! Hats off to TS yet again on this map! :) _____________________________________________________________________________ 011231 0048 BT Hedgerow ^ StB - Hedgerow / Bustle In Your Hedge-row FFA: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor Baak gets a couple of lucky "off screen" hits early and manages to defend the Bacon to the bitter end. Check out a *nice* Wight Sneak by TS against Baak's Warriors! _____________________________________________________________________________ 011231 0109 BT Killing G^xTer - Draw Killing Grounds FFA: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor LOL!! We played this Deathmatch with Rocket Dwarfs! Watch the film and you will notice suddenly that no one can be killed! This is a Myth Bug which occurs when too many "objects" are on the field (namely the debris from the Rocket Dwarfs!) Check out TS's Wight which goes into a never-ending suicide spree! And check out when we decide to end the match and call it a draw - only the film *never* ends! Another bug?!? :) _____________________________________________________________________________ 011231 0129 BT Around th^ StB - Baak Wins Around the Bend M2 / Around the Bend FFA: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor Thank goodness these Dorfs aren't Rocket Dwarfs! Unfortunately TS thought they were when sending in his first Dorf Assassin... Baak captures the Bacon with a Wight (!), only to have the Wight lose it in too-deep water which doesn't appear too deep until you move through it (a slight flaw in the mapmaker's detail work). TS sends in everybody for the Bacon and gets hit hard by a series of flaming arrows, Dorf grenades and Ghol Bombs. It's a fierce but brief battle... _____________________________________________________________________________ Legend: * = Game Of The Week + = Game Of The Week Runner Up $ = Deciding Game for The Sacred Sword & Axe of Shaal'a Manx s = Slide Show Notes: ______________________________________________________________________________
