****************************************************************************** ** ** ** H'Pak Match Summary for 2002 0222: ** ** ** ****************************************************************************** _____________________________________________________________________________ 020222 2142 BNT Venice ^ StB - TS Wins Venice FFA 3: Nokilli, Baak'lor, Terd St. Ain Man is it *quiet* out there! Almost no casualties in this one, and although Baak *almost* manages a steal at the last second with a SpiderWight, there are no other distractions for TS and he takes it! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020222 2154 BNT The Badla^ KoH - NKI Wins The Badlands FFA 3: Nokilli, Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor OH MAN!!! Baak's guys were just too flag-shy on this one! After pounding both NKI and TS at the Flag and sneaking in a Ghol raid on TS's Cannons, Baak still didn't manage to get enough Flag time over NKI! NKI wins it by *two seconds*!! Nicely done, NKI! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020222 2213 BNT BrokenArr^ StB - NKI Wins BrokenArrow_v1 / Six Broken Arrows (6 team light) FFA 3: Nokilli, Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor Baaks goes up and down the side of this map a couple of times trying to find out what's going on! lol! Baak has a failed Ghol sneak on TS - it was close! NKI has a pair of Zerks that avenge an Archer death by taking out TS's Dorf and a couple of Archers before dying! NKI does an *excellent* job of feinting the final charge and just sweeps up after TS and Baak go at it - Baak only gets NKI's Dorf! Nicely played, NKI! _____________________________________________________________________________ 020222 2243 BNT Twister v^ StB - Baak Wins Twister v1.2 / Twister v.2 (4 teams light) FFA 3: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor, Nokilli Had to try the Scrambled Bacon! Was a bit funky, but it is interesting how one has to defend the Bacon from being *moved*. In the closing minutes, Baak sets up a strong defense around the Bacon and waits for TS's and NKI's remaining armies to invade! One push of the Bacon is all it takes... _____________________________________________________________________________ *020222 2303 BNT Twister v^ StB - TS Wins Twister v1.2 / Twister v.2 (8 teams dark) FFA 3: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor, Nokilli Man this was a *tense* one!! Baak grabs the Bacon and pushes it over the cliff as NKI is closing *fast*! Baak and NKI do a nice back-and-forth over the Bacon (there's a funny point where Baak uses his Fetch to move the Bacon away from the cliff only to have NKI do the exact same thing back to the original spot! Check it out!) Baak takes it to a temporary hill to defend and then decides to move it at the last minute - only he gets too caught up fending off NKI to continue moving the Bacon up the ramp, and is overwhelmed by TS's assault! ... This one is *close* right to the end! Great Game!! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020222 2324 BNT BrokenArr^ StB - Baak Wins BrokenArrow_v1 / Six Dwarven Cocktails (6 team slugfest) FFA 3: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor, Nokilli Baak steals the Bacon from TS's Ghols who are bringing it back, takes it to a well defended slope at the far end of the map, and waits... It's not long before TS is coming in from one side and NKI on the other (and the side that NKI's coming from suddenly has a gap around the trees that Baak didn't notice!) Tense right down to the whistle! Great Game!! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020222 2338 BNT StoneHear^ LoH - Baak Wins StoneHeart_return / Stone Heart: Four Armies FFA 3: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor, Nokilli Baak takes out *all* of TS's Rocket Dwarfs less than a minute into the game! (NOTE: After this we instigated the one-minute Dorf cease fire at the start) ... Watch too as another Baak Rocket *just* misses all of TS's Knights! They just left the pond at it probably would have hit them in the head! lol! Needless to say, TS is at a disadvantage in this one... Watch one of Baak's Rocket Dorfs (a Mortar Dorf) that is just plain TOUGH on NKI! Not only does he keep launching into NKI's territory, but he is really hard to kill - he even takes a *direct hit to the chest* and doesn't flinch! LOL!! *And* when NKI finally sneaks in a Dorf to take him out, his assassin is dispatched through the wall by another Baak Dorf! Also watch Baak's sneak to get a small group of his Knights and Ghols - two direct hits (after a warning shot that went off in the doorway) - what's funny is that the debris is blasted so hard that it scatters on the tops of the walls! lol! ... This map is *fun* with Rocket Dorfs! NOTE: This one has the "Bacon Bug" ending - where the last-owning player dies at the end and even though the surviving player wins, it doesn't update the final roster. _____________________________________________________________________________ +020222 2352 BNT StoneHear^ LoH - Baak Wins StoneHeart_return / Stone Heart: Four Armies FFA 3: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor, Nokilli Oh Man! Baak sneaks in a Ghol Assassin to take out a NKI Dorf in the Woods, followed by a Rocket Dwarf hammering on his Knights - who then takes out another Dorf! Baak just keeps pestering NKI in this one, and hammers him again but loses the Dorf to a final one-on-one! TS is on a bit of a roll as well and is looking very tough in the final minute - but NKI has one last Dorf and that's all it takes! lol! NKI takes out all of TS's Knights at the Flag and Baak gets a lucky rebound giving him enough time to tag the Flag in the closing seconds! Rocket Dorfs on this map are GREAT!! Can never rule them out! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020223 0004 BNT StoneHear^ LoH - NKI Wins StoneHeart_return / Stone Heart: Four Armies FFA 3: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor, Nokilli Baak has the Ghol Brother From Hell on this one! Between these two Ghols they take out a couple of Rocket Dorfs and an Archer *and* survive a couple of direct hits (as rebounds) - lol! It all comes down to the end in this one - Baak has two really bad rebound deaths that are funny to watch! - then TS sneaks in a Dorf in Sudden Death to dispatch Baak's Knights only to have it bounce into his own! BOOOOOM!! This is a BIG explosion!! lol!! NKI has *three* Rocket Dorfs against Baak's two Archers - guess who wins! :) _____________________________________________________________________________ +020223 0026 BNT StoneHear^ LoH - TS Wins StoneHeart_return / Stone Heart: Four Armies FFA 3: Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor, Nokilli Baak and TS have a little one-on-one and Baak sneaks in his Archers to take out one of NKI's Dorfs - only to be quickly vaporized by his other one! lol! A little touch-and-run on the Flag towards the end; NKI has an Invincible Ghol that rebounds a pair of shots from Baak's Dorf near center - but Baak manages to *just* get a shot off at TS's Knights by the Flag - BOOOM!! But... NKI and Baak didn't show up for the final fight! lol! _____________________________________________________________________________ 020223 0050 BNT Redsand_v^ Stm - NKI Wins Redsand_v1 / Red Sand, Black Blood FFA 3: Nokilli, Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor This was very confusing at first! Multiple exit Flags which don't seem to be quite symmetric - interesting, but NKI gets it easy on this one! Baak sneaks some Chicken-hungry Ghols into TS's Territory, and then TS runs straight into Baak's Dorf and Archers waiting at one of TS's exit Flags! Baak gets most of his Chickens through an exit Flag surrounded by TS's guys - who seem hypnotized by Baak's Chickens! - but it's not enough since NKI got all of his through uncontested! _____________________________________________________________________________ 020223 0102 BNT Twister v Hnt - NKI Wins Twister v1.2 / Twister v.2 (8 teams dark) FFA 3: Nokilli, Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor LOL!! *56* Pigs on the top of the center island!! Baak's out of it pretty early when his Fetch take a blast from 4 of his own Wights (too close when they die!) - NKI just seems to mop up after TS & Baak go at it a bit as well... _____________________________________________________________________________ 020223 0132 BNT Garden of^ Cps - Baak Wins Garden of Segesta v1_1 / Garden of Segesta (Dark) v1.1 FFA 3: Nokilli, Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor OK, I think 17 balls for captures is enough! ... Ball Captured ... Ball Contested ... Ball Lost _____________________________________________________________________________ 020223 0150 BNT Green Par^ StB - TS Wins Green Paradise v1.1 / Green Hell FFA 3: Nokilli, Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor Some mini-battles at the Bacon and Baak manages to get some Cannon hits in on NKI early; Baak grabs the Bacon but forgets to stop his Soulless from moving (he takes it too far across to the other end of the map! ha!); Baak has some bad friendly fire problems with his Cannons... NOTE: Just FYI: It appears that there is something on this map with regards to attacking targets at a distance that are not "visible" (i.e. they are over or behind hills). I clicked several times on enemy Wights with Soulless only to have the Soulless do *nothing* (not move or shoot) because it appeared they were not "visible". I think this is what happened with Cannons because I had them both target the ground well into enemy forces but they completely ignored the orders (gave them twice) and instead did a couple of auto-attacks against enemies right in my ranks that *were* within eye-shot! Beware!! :) (Funny shot: Once Baak's Cannons have wiped out most of Baak's army, there is a funny shot against NKI's Fetch - it looks like it hits him *right* on the head! lol!) TS comes and grabs the Bacon from Baak's Soulless (although there's a funny sequence where the Soulless *just* moves the Bacon out into a deep pool and then spears a TS zerk or two in defiance! lol!!). Baak gets some last minute Cannon shots in that are good, but TS not only has his Cannons left, but a large melee force waiting at the edge of the map! Baak's one Wight has no chance at the end... Nice TS! _____________________________________________________________________________ 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: Started using "Dwarf Rockets 2" - Tried Scrambled Bacon ______________________________________________________________________________
