****************************************************************************** ** ** ** H'Pak Match Summary for 2002 0111: ** ** ** ****************************************************************************** _____________________________________________________________________________ +020111 2045 BIKT BaronsBac StB - NKI Wins BaronsBackyard1_1 / Baron's Backyard (Light) 1.1 FFA: Terd St. Ain, Kaor, Baak'lor, Illikon There's a nice multi-Wight party around the Bacon at the start, followed by NKI and Baak getting into it on the sidelines. Meanwhile, Kaor nabs the Bacon and takes it to his end of the map. The whole game is in the Sudden Death! It's *funny*!! No one seems to want to take a single melee guy to go get Kaor's Dorfs! lol! They are *relentless*!! It looks like TS has the game won at one point, but Baak manages to contest the Bacon at the last second. In the meantime, TS has taken so much damage from Kaor's Dorfs that he's out! NKI takes his share but manages to wrestle the Bacon from Baak - since most of Baak's army has taken the *long* route to the Bacon and missed the Party! NKI gets it! 1051 Damage / 133 Kills Great Game! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020111 2115 BIKT BaronsBac StB - Baak/Kaor Wins BaronsBackyard1_1 / Baron's Backyard (Dark) 1.1 2v2: Terd St. Ain & Illikon, Baak'lor & Kaor TS/NKI grab the Bacon and defend. This is really a good game - going back and forth several times leaving both sides nearly equal. This is an excellent map as well. SIDE NOTE: Figured out what it is about this map that makes it cool: It is the *feeling* that you are in the woods, because the Giant Trees cast GIANT shadows! You really feel like you're there! Hats Off to the Mapmaker! :) The tide turns towards the end where Baak/Kaor get a hit on NKI/TS's final Warlock without taking one themselves. This leaves two Warlocks to none and they get *several* fireballs into NKI/TS's melee units. Great Game! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020111 2135 BIKT Talus KoH - Baak/Kaor Wins Talus / Talus Slugfest 2v2: Illikon & Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor & Kaor NOTE: Myth II Pathfinder Dorfs are *invisible* until they fire - as in the Solo Level "Into the Breach" - except that here they *stay* invisible! In the Solo Level they are visible once they attack. These differ from the TFL (Myth I) Pathfinder Dorfs that can throw flares to bring down Satchel Air Strikes. This mesh has Myth II Pathfinder Dorfs, which make things quite interesting! Baak/Kaor take the Flag early and set up a mean defense. NKI/TS break this with a good attack using the P-Dorfs, damaging Baak/Kaor's melee units which had a strong advantage at this point after hurting NKI/TS's early. In fact, NKI/TS's P-Dorfs are *much* more deadly than Baak/Kaor's in this game, and it's only Baak/Kaor's *one* Ghast by the Flag that out-dances the *two* NKI/TS P-Dorfs to keep the most time on it in the end... The final dance is worth the viewing! Baak/Kaor win by less than a minute. Great Game! _____________________________________________________________________________ $020111 2155 BIKT Talus StB - Baak/Kaor Wins Talus / Talus Mighty 2v2: Illikon & Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor & Kaor Both sides desperately try to get the Bacon from the center but there is just *no way* to dodge the machine-gun-like Bowman Heroes. Finally NKI/TS take the Bacon back to defend. Baak/Kaor try a first frontal assault which is... err... unsuccessful. Finally Baak/Kaor attack from the flank and manage to take out several units before getting into a battle. Those Bowmen are TOUGH!! After healing the four remaining Bowmen, and with two Trow slightly stronger than NKI/TS's, it's just too much and Baak/Kaor take it. The Sacred Sword & Axe are retained by Baak/Kaor. NOTE: This mesh inspired Baak to make a "UnitMods" plugin to slow down the Trow and the Bowman Hero - the Bowman Heroes are *way* too tough!! The player that can get them in and take out some of the enemy's Bowman is 99% assured of winning the game... Similar to Trow Advantage... _____________________________________________________________________________ 020111 2216 BIKT The Wild StB - Baak/Kaor Wins The Wild West v2 / West - Shoot up the Town 2v2: Terd St. Ain & Illikon, Baak'lor & Kaor TS/NKI take the Bacon and defend on The Hill. Baak/Kaor get a *nice* sneak attack in with two sticks of TNT that take out 25% of TS/NKI's units. There's a great sequence around 7:00 to 6:00 with a HUGE explosion just before 6:00 from a TS/NKI TNT into 3 other sticks and several lanterns - watch the trees *explode*! *Very* realistic! TS/NKI try to move the Bacon but it gets stuck just before Main Street and Baak/Kaor come in from both sides for the kill. _____________________________________________________________________________ *020111 2240 BIKT The Wild StB - TS/NKI Wins The Wild West v2 / West - Shoot up the Town 2v2: Terd St. Ain & Illikon, Baak'lor & Kaor Baak/Kaor are hurt early as they get stuck trying to retreat from the Bacon at the start. Although they do gain back some ground from their pursuers - shortly thereafter they lose their Doctor! - who seems to have wandered off on his own! lol! There are *so* many great little battles in this one that you *just have to watch the film* to appreciate them all! This may very well be because of the way this map "plays" - lots of quick action! And don't forget the *TNT*!! Although there is a brief time where Baak/Kaor actually have more units remaining, they are heavily injured - and it's just not enough to take back the Bacon from TS/NKI... Great Game! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020111 2256 BIT the hidde StB - Baak Wins the hidden / the hidden (champions) FFA: Illikon, Baak'lor, Terd St. Ain Gave this one a Runner-Up because it's just so Bizarre! NKI and Baak meet in the center for the Bacon and NKI manages to get it away. Baak retreats his two Heron Heros *straight* into TS and they are *toast*!! ... Leaving *18* Healing Roots on the ground! lol! TS takes the top of the hill and wears down NKI - meanwhile, Baak is sneaking up behind TS and does a devastating mutliple Hero attack eliminating TS. Baak still has his Bowman Hero and Warlock Hero which is pretty tough against NKI's two Herons and Dorf Hero (Baak still has his Dorf too!). Watch NKI move his last two Herons near the Satchels from his Dorf and Baak's Dorf hit the satchels... The Healing Roots stick to the ceiling - I swear! :) Great Game! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020111 2313 BIT Leggo II StB - Baak Wins Leggo II Arena / Leggo II Arena (FFA) FFA: Illikon, Baak'lor, Terd St. Ain Baak tags the Bacon early and gets into a mini-battle with NKI - NKI Wins. Shortly after that, NKI comes on strong and whittles Baak down to just the big Mech. Lucky for Baak that TS comes in and distracts NKI enough that Baak can escape! TS takes on NKI - who was wounded from the battle with Baak - and NKI is out. Baak manages to destroy TS's Mech and TS doesn't realize his Mech is going to explode after death - which does its damage! After some exchanges, TS is down to one Kamakazi and a couple of minutes pass with he and Baak trying to hit each other around a building! Baak has the advantage of height with the Mech and manages to get in enough small hits to finally take TS out. Great Game! _____________________________________________________________________________ 020111 2327 BIT Leggo II StB - TS Wins Leggo II Arena / Leggo II Arena (FFA) FFA: Illikon, Baak'lor, Terd St. Ain Several tags and re-tags of the Bacon by the Floating Dudes and bascially the whole game happens in the last minute when everyone charges the Bacon which NKI has been briefly defending. Some funny "effects" such as Kamakazi Lego Heads bouncing around. TS takes the high ground and while NKI and Baak are attacking they seem to forget to go for the Bacon! TS takes it! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020111 2339 BIT Leggo II Cps - NKI Wins Leggo II Arena / Leggo II Arena (FFA) FFA: Illikon, Baak'lor, Terd St. Ain Baak is hammered early in this one, first by NKI, then TS, then NKI... NKI appears to be dominating with 90% of his units left vs. TS's 4%, but TS manages to Capture a ball to take the lead in the final minute. But then NKI takes one back. But then TS takes one back! lol! The game goes into a *brief* Sudden Death but NKI has taken out TS's last unit and ends up capturing 4 of 5 balls at the whistle. Great Game! _____________________________________________________________________________ 020112 0005 BIT Tallow Ab KoH - NKI Wins Tallow Abbey / Tallow Abbey (Dark) FFA: Illikon, Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor NKI grabs the Flag early. Although there are *several* great little mini- battles, it's not enough to get the time back from NKI and he takes it. If this were a Bacon Game it would have been even *more* tense! Good Game! _____________________________________________________________________________ 020112 0025 BIT Tallow Ab StB - Baak Wins Tallow Abbey / Tallow Abbey (Dorf Riot) FFA: Illikon, Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor Baak tags the Bacon and fends off several NKI attacks before NKI heads away. From there Baak moves the Bacon (with a serious STICK at one point) to an area where he can defend from the high ground. Baak fights a two- and then a three-front war but manages to keep both TS and NKI away from the hill and thus keeps the Bacon for the game. Watch one of NKI's Dorfs lob a flare *over* the hill - looks like a great attempt to launch the Bacon! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020112 0041 BIT Tallow Ab StB - Baak Wins Tallow Abbey / Tallow Abbey (Dorf Riot) FFA: Illikon, Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor Baak goes for the Bacon again and runs into TS who takes out a Dorf or two! Baak gets TS's Mortar Dorf who gets his revenge from the grave via the mines he laid on his death! Takes out another Baak Dorf! Baak is quickly down to two Dorfs and runs for the hills! NKI comes in, dislodges the Bacon and defends it up on the top of a hill. Just before 3:00 remaining, it's: NKI 100%, TS 85% and Baak 37%. TS loses a Mortar Dorf to NKI at the base of the hill and steps on the friendly mines with another Dorf! (These mines are nasty!) - it's quickly down to TS 55%! Shortly after 1:00 remaining, TS lobs a flare near the Bacon and in NKI's retalliation NKI kills one of his own Mortar Dorfs by mistake! This little guys mines are NKI's demise... When NKI moves back towards the mines and loses *four Dorf*, the flares start flying and within the blink of an eye - NKI is gone! Completely! Although his last Dorf appears to "surf" the wave of satchels down the side of the hill!! It's the flares from TS's Dorf (the one that started the cascade on the hill) that launch the still-NKI-owned Bacon away from the hill. Baak runs for it with his last remaining Dorf *as fast as he can*... Baak tags it *just* before time runs out! And I mean *just*! I tried to time how close this really was based on slowing down the film and the number of movements per frame. My guess is that Baak got the Bacon with 0:00.5 remaining! I'm not sure if the clock actually goes down to 0:00.0 before the end or not - either way it was *close*!! :) Great Game! _____________________________________________________________________________ 020112 0059 BIT BaronsBac Ter - TS Wins (Sweep!) BaronsBackyard1_1 / Baron's Backyard (Dark) 1.1 FFA: Illikon, Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor Baak is sandwiched and spreads his army two thin in both directions - fatal! (most of it is destroyed by a TS Blitz); While NKI and Baak try to go for a flag in the center, they get *slightly* off - Baak chases NKI and leaves the flag uncontested - which is *just enough time* for TS to grab the flag and in so claiming suddenly has all six! Instant Win! Nicely done, TS! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020112 0116 BIT BaronsBac StB - Baak Wins BaronsBackyard1_1 / Baron's Backyard (Dark) 1.1 FFA: Illikon, Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor NKI grabs the Bacon with a single Myrk - there's a funny sequence (especially when viewed at faster speeds) where he and a TS Wight and two Baak Wights do a little dancing around the Bacon for awhile! lol! Baak defends the Bacon unchallenged for some time and then begins to feel "sandwiched" and decides to abandon it for the most part. The game ends with a *really long* Sudden Death that appears really close until one of NKI's Mortar Dorfs lobs a couple of shots near the Bacon and nail several of TS's Brigands. This turns the tide somewhat, and once Baak removes the Dorf, it's Game Over! 900+ Damage / 90+ Kills Great Game! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020112 0137 BT Leggo II StB - TS Wins Leggo II Arena / Leggo II Arena (Alt 2 Team) FFA: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor TS and Baak stay up for *one more*! :) And it turns out to be a *close* one! Nothing but Kamakazi Dudes (8) and Red Berets (4) which makes for a very volatile combination! TS grabs the Bacon and heads for the high ground. Baak attempts several attacks and is *almost* killed *several* times (he gets *full* use out of the Healers!). Baaks final sneak attack is a good one, but *just* not enough to take the Bacon! (In fact if you watch the film you'll see his fatal mistake!). Great Game! _____________________________________________________________________________ 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: ______________________________________________________________________________
