****************************************************************************** ** ** ** H'Pak Match Summary for 2002 0215 through 2002 0217: ** ** ** ****************************************************************************** _____________________________________________________________________________ 020215 2223 BN MSC_v2 ^ StB - NKI Wins MSC_v2 / Moon Shadow Cave (Heroes) FFA 2: Nokilli, Baak'lor Baak had some HUGE lag from Marius combined with Firewall still on (duh!) so NKI *shredded* him! Decided to keep this one because it is funny to watch! _____________________________________________________________________________ 020215 2240 BN Caer_Cada^ StB - NKI Wins Caer_Cadarn / Caer Cadarn (Trow) FFA 2: Nokilli, Baak'lor Ah, SpiderWights! NKI takes the Bacon at the center island and waits... Both sides get some good SpiderWight attacks in, but NKI has a really good Fetch attack after Baak gets one of his Fetch with Soulless - NKI takes out a couple of Dorfs with one shot! (They were heavily injured by SpiderWights) Baak does a final charge on the island, but it is no match for the defensive position... _____________________________________________________________________________ 020215 2325 BN Landing a^ S-C - Baak/NKI Wins (Co-op) Landing at White Falls Co-op 2: Baak'lor & Nokilli Inspired by TS and the previous TS/Baak attempt at this, Baak & NKI team up to go for it, only this time we did it on "Normal" so we could win! :) _____________________________________________________________________________ +020216 0032 BN Limbs, He^ S-C - Baak/NKI Wins (Co-op) Limbs, Heads and Smoking Craters Co-op 2: Baak'lor & Nokilli LOL!!! After a couple of failed attempts at this one - we did it! This is a *really* fun level to play with Rocket Dorfs and we played it *Legendary*!! Totally nerve-racking with the possibility of rebounds lingering in the air, but we finally got a plan down and picked it off! Only problem was once we got to the "Soulless Shed" we ran out of Projectiles! (Rocket Dorf problem). But, we persisted and even though we almost self-destructed with the Wight Farm from a rebound, we took the *last* Rocket Dorf (and only survivor) and picked them off one by one - with a couple of *really* close calls!!! Then, we went *back* for the Soulless and *almost* died from a perfect re- bound off the shed (talk about *tense*!!). Once that was done we still hadn't won, and neither of us remembered how to finish (lol!) - so we thought it might be a wandering Wight or something until we noticed a small dark blue dot on the overhead map... We had forgot- ten to blow up the cart at the first camp area this game... We went back and took care of it! BOOOOM!!! NOTE: This is a 40 Minute (!) film, so you may want to speed up through parts! _____________________________________________________________________________ 020217 0101 BNT Green Par StB - NKI Wins Green Paradise v1.1 / Green Hell FFA 3: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor, Nokilli Great Map!! Lots of little give and takes including a funny one where NKI and Baak do a Wight dance in a lake... Good prolonged Sudden Death ending! _____________________________________________________________________________ 020217 0121 BNT HillsOfTh StB - TS Wins HillsOfTheCrow2 / Hills of the Crow 2.0 FFA 3: Terd St. Ain, Nokilli, Baak'lor Baak and NKI just can't resist a fight in this one - meanwhile, TS wins the game uncontested! lol! _____________________________________________________________________________ 020217 0130 BNT StoneHear BC - NKI Wins StoneHeart_return / Stone Heart: Vile FFA 3: Terd St. Ain, Nokilli, Baak'lor After NKI goes Baak-Spider hunting in the woods, he and TS get into it and almost nothing is left afterwards, other than NKI's Fetch! Baak's only involvement in this one is to take out the Fetch! lol! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020217 0157 BNT MSC_v2 Stm - Baak Wins MSC_v2 / Moon Shadow Cave (Dark) FFA 3: Terd St. Ain, Nokilli, Baak'lor LOL!! Babe and his Sheep (yes, I'm serious - watch the film!) Baak sneaks a pus-Ghol into TS's sheep and takes a couple out! At the same time he sneaks a Fetch into NKI territory and assasinates NKI's Babe! lol! TS and NKI go for the flag with their sheep and while NKI gets many there, TS is not so lucky as Baak is on his flank... Then NKI charges into Baak and gets *this* close to killing a few sheep with his Myrks (there are two Sheep that are at *minimum* health afterwards!). Baak moves his Babe and Sheep to the exit and intercepts NKI's last 4 Sheep enroute... Funky Game! _____________________________________________________________________________ *020217 2007 BKNT Green Par StB - Baak/Kaor Wins Green Paradise v1.1 / Green Hell 2v2: Terd St. Ain & Nokilli, Baak'lor & Kaor Man the lag on Marius was *brutal* for this one! Baak/Kaor grab the Bacon amidst a TS/NKI onslaught and direct it (sort of) back towards their army - it gets stuck as the Heron moves it over the small hilly terrain... *Several* great little battles in this one - Fetch, Warlocks, you name it! Watch for a Baak/Kaor "auto-fire-friendly-fire-mishap" from their Warlock that appears to have been targeting TS/NKI's Spiders (what was he thinking?!) The Warlock gets fried by a TS/NKI Fetch, and the Fetch is taken out by some nimble little Ghols... Meanwhile, TS/NKI have taken the Bacon to a good defensive spot. Baak/Kaor move in cautiously and manage to whittle their way in - well, I won't spoil it! - *check it out!* :) Great Game!! _____________________________________________________________________________ 020217 2025 BKN Redsand_v^ StB - Kaor Wins Redsand_v1 / Red Sand, Black Blood (Dwarven) FFA 3: Nokilli, Baak'lor, Kaor Rocket Dorfs, SpiderWights, intermittent rain - lol! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020217 2044 BKN Garden of^ StB - NKI Wins Garden of Segesta v1_1 / Garden of Segesta (JMK) v1.1 FFA 3: Nokilli, Kaor, Baak'lor Kaor gets *hammered* early and takes the Bacon with his remaining pair of Thrall! ...this is such a surreal map! NKI and Baak have some good exchanges, and check out the amazing NKI launch of the Bacon! :) _____________________________________________________________________________ 020217 2108 BKNT Barrens 1 StB - NKI/TS Wins Barrens 1.1 / The Barrens Light Max 2v2: Nokilli & Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor & Kaor NKI/TS take the Bacon to a *good* defensive position which Baak/Kaor cannot overtake. Some well executed moves by NKI/TS. _____________________________________________________________________________ +$020217 2204 BKNT Grass v1 StB - Baak/Kaor Wins Grass v1.0 / The Grass Between Your Teeth (dark) 2v2: Terd St. Ain & Nokilli, Baak'lor & Kaor Baak/Kaor flank the defending TS/NKI to take the Bacon - some *good* give and take mini-battles on both sides - classic Tennis Teams! Baak/Kaor Win the Sacred Sword & Axe! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020217 2224 BKNT Redsand_v^ StB - Baak Wins Redsand_v1 / Red Sand, Black Blood FFA 4: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor, Nokilli, Kaor OMG!! LOL!! This one you just *have* to watch - there's a *lot* going on, especially when we run out of "Projectiles" from the Rocket Dorfs: SpiderWights can't die, Rockets can't fire - it's *WILD*!! NKI and Baak have been going at it for most of this game - and when Baak tries to move in his *last* Rocket Dorf to hit the Bacon, a NKI SpiderWight emerges from the water and harasses the hell out of him! Really funny! Then there's the ending - lol! - a *prolonged* Sudden Death due to being right on the edge of "No Projectiles" Land... Baak has one JMan at the Bacon who heals amidst everyone slashing at each other and he brings in his only other remaining unit - a SpiderWight! This one you just gotta see! :) _____________________________________________________________________________ +020217 2308 BNT HillsOfTh Cps - TS Wins HillsOfTheCrow2 / Hills of the Crow 2.0 FFA 3: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor, Nokilli NKI takes out most of TS's army (the melee guys) and Baak sneaks in a couple of Zerks and a Warrior to takes out TS's dorf, archers and JMan. NKI and Baak go head-to-head with a good give and take battle, leaving only Baak's Archers - who take out a couple of Zerks with friendly fire - duh! FUNNY: Check out the squirrel that dares to hang out in the middle of the end battle - he gets fried by NKI's Warlock! - looks even funnier at fast speed! Meanwhile, TS has been recapturing the balls with his two remaining Zerks - Baak can't get to any of them in time and TS wins by one! Nicely played TS! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020217 2329 BNT Green Par^ KoH - NKI Wins Green Paradise v1.1 / Green Paradise FFA 3: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor, Nokilli NKI *hammers* TS with a well-played Wight maneuver early in the game; Baak does not manage his units well and gets picked to pieces by NKI; TS does well with his remaining army but it is too much to come back over NKI. _____________________________________________________________________________ 020217 2342 BNT Green Par^ KoH - TS Wins Green Paradise v1.1 / Green Hell FFA 3: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor, Nokilli Sak Cannons Rock! While NKI is busy at the center, Baak pulls a Fetch Sneak that would bring tears of joy to Fetch everywhere... But NKI gets his revenge with seemingly every Cannonball hitting its mark - including a death blast that takes out most of Baak's remaining melee! From there even though Baak manages to take out TS's Fetch - his Cannons do nothing against TS and TS still has one left - along with *most* of his army! _____________________________________________________________________________ 020217 2357 BNT StoneHear^ LoH - NKI Wins StoneHeart_return / StoneHeart: Pathfinder Battle FFA 3: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor, Nokilli LOL! OK, there's this thing that NKI and Baak get into - well this is *no* exception! Baak takes out *one* of NKI's Mauls with a visible Dorf and NKI hunts down Baak like the Terminator for the rest of the game! lol! The thing is: NKI's Pathfinder Dorfs are *impossible* to kill even when targeted by Baak's Dorf! Baak sneaks in on TS's Maul Army and systematically takes them *all* out with his two Pathfinder Dorfs. Baak takes the defensive position on the flag for the finale, but between the NKI rush and TS's Pathfinder Dorfs it's impossible to fend off NKI completely. _____________________________________________________________________________ 020218 0012 BNT HillsOfTh^ LoH - NKI Wins HillsOfTheCrow2 / Hills of Death 2.0 FFA 3: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor, Nokilli NKI picks off most of Baak's Soulless with a Fetch but fails to notice a nearby Spider; TS takes out the Spider and remaining single Soulless with a wandering pair of Myrks; NKI goes to the hill and appears to be defending, but pulls a perfectly executed retreat which forces TS and Baak to go head- to-head; NKI steps in and cleans out the survivors... Well played NKI! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020218 0039 BNT Redsand_v^ StB - TS Wins Redsand_v1 / Red Sand, Black Blood (Dwarven) FFA 3: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor, Nokilli Baak gets hammered - check out NKI's "Felt like a kid in a candy store" Dorf that rockets most of Baak's Thrall! lol! TS is haunted by Baak's Wight-that-would-not-die and Baak is haunted by one of NKI's that's the same! ... Just look at the rebounds! Baak actually has the game at the end but moves the Bacon right into TS's advancing Thrall - thinking he can pause them long enough with the Wight that had the Bacon, Baak blasts him - but it's *just* not enough and TS takes it with a second or two remaining! Nice! _____________________________________________________________________________ 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: ______________________________________________________________________________
