The Toad Wars

Giga the Sarcastic Strategist SealWelcome to my third battle report! First, as always, I want to apologize for my bad English and any inconvenience caused by my bad grammar (since the text has been taken thru Microsoft Word Spell Checker I don’t think you'll find much spelling problems in this BR), for all those who cannot cope with my bad grammar and feel a need to flame me because of it, I have a special link. As for the others, I urge you to visit Giga's WC3 Page and browse among my replays as well as other links to stuff written/ made/ whatever by me. In the end, it would be really helpful if you would report any bugs (broken links, problems with pictures etc.) regarding this BR at ksaber666@hotmail.com (and NO, I am not a Satanist). That would be all I want to say before we begin.

I present you...

What the hell are you waiting for, get to the reading!

This BR is dedicated to MuLepton
For being: the best BR writer from whom I learned much,
a very good internet-buddy and for being the coolest frog on
Tauren Totem.com

The Battlefield and the Generals:

The fact that this map is the same one that was used in MuLepton's Hide'n'Seek is completely coincidential.The Glaive
An interesting non-ladder map for 5 players. It has a single Goblin Merchant in the middle, it is guarded by Bronze Dragons and protected by a little forest that makes it impossible to approach unless you send a horde of lumberjacks to carve a way to the merchant or just get a lot of siege with attack-ground ability.
There is a weak creep (few weak razormanes) group near everyone’s base and another medium strength razormane group guarding each natural expansion mine. Non-used starting locations are protected by a squad of owlbears, which doesn’t mean shit from our point of view since all the starting locations were used. Players are located in clockwise order (we’re beginning from the top):
Bobojijo, Paranon, CygnusX-1, Plagued_One and MijatV.

TeH PrIeSHt mAssOr!!!Bobojijo
This lovely fellow is a friend of Paranon, in this game he is the blue human and performs some quite interesting thingies that often defies logic. Since I don't know the man from any other game except this one I dunno if he has any web pages...

TeH $3/-\|_!!!!MijatV
Aka Giga the Sarcastic Strategist Seal, you may remember this guy from such shitty reports such as PWNAGE & 20 thrice-accursed HP and GGG!!! (Go God Gammit!!!), you may have also heard of him on Tauren Totem.com or pwned him in 1on1 ladder game on Azeroth. Heck, maybe you even visited his web site - Giga's WC3 Page. Whatever it is, in this game, he is Undead (as he almost always is) of Yellow coloring...
TeH cOMbin3D aRmY uSHer!!!CygnusX-1
This player is another friend of Paranon but he also played a lot of games with MijatV as well, he plays mostly Night Elves. He has many memories from various Toad Wars (most of those including getting his whole army obliterated). In this game, he plays as green human and favors combining various types of units to make diverse and ever-useful armies.
tEH a$$maNglOR!!!Paranon
This fearsome player is an old Tauren Totem comrade of MijatV as well as his teacher (yes, this is the guy who shown MijatV how to do the fabled ultra-fast teching build order!) as well as being the teacher of many others. In this epic conflict he decides to be dark green orc.
TeH g()s\/!!!Plagued_One
Ah! TEH HORROR, TEH HORROR!!! This old general is a veteran of Undead race, using awesome tactics and attacking when it hurts the most! His favorite saying is: “There can be only one Undead on the map and that Undead is me!” and he proven it on numerous occasions in this long game. In this game he flew the banner of the fearsome red undead.

This game began the usual way, MijatV decided to go for some heavy teching as he always does in Free For Alls, however, he was wary of the possibility of having his mass air army (which he always makes in FFAs) easily ensnared / webbed by his enemies. However, since the only Goblin Merchant on the map is guarded by Bronze dragons and more important: a forest, Wands of Negations were obviously denied to him. He felt optimistic about his trusty strat working nevertheless and decided to pull it.

On the other hand, Paranon decided to go for some less usual tactics and therefore, a special build order. Obviously, we wont spoil the surprise for you so let’s just say that he has a surprise waiting for you (and other players).

Plagued_One spend the first 60 seconds or so bathing in the glory of his Necropolis, haunted golden mine, 3 acolytes and a ghoul... he was a bit slower for some reason, let’s just assume it was some strategic move too profound for us to understand.

Both CygnusX-1 and Bobojijo decided to take the classical human Build Order so we won’t waste words on them.

Soon, all five players are summoning their heroes... well... not ALL FIVE players...

Right, since MuLepton is my... umm... model, I decided to use his trend to put some nice mIRC and WC3 chat quotes and put them in picture text, I hope you'll like them :)...

Shortly after Plagued_One’s altar is finished and he begins summoning the fabled Duke Ragereaver.

<A_Flayer> question:   <Giga> go on   <A_Flayer> do you want to kill me?    <Giga> Sure

After some time, the first four champions to fight in The Toad Wars pop out of their altars. These are Malar Plainstrider, two Archmages with ultimately stupid names which we wont take time to remember and Lord Soulrender.

Of course, you remember Soulrender from our last report where he had an important role. This time he’s back and this time, he’s the Big Boss, since he’s the first and therefore main hero in MijatV’s legion. Funny, he’s level 1 again and the last time we’ve seen him he was level 5 which gets us to the conclusion that he had an amnesia since the last BR, let’s just hope he’ll take a time to explain us how did he lose all his experience in such a short time, for now, let’s see what these newborn heroes were doing in first minutes of their existence.

Malar Plainstrider decides to take a walk around, probably reveling in the beauty of nature. CygnusX-1, MijatV and Bobojijo obviously don’t let their sods enjoy their time on the seaside and sent them to creep the easy creeps next to their towns. However, CygnusX-1 obviously lacked knowledge of the easy creep group next to his base and went straight at the natural expansion mine where he had a tough battle against the local population.

<Cold_Lich|ITClass> I'm gonna have to install war3 on this thing - i doubt my it instructor would notice    <Cold_Lich|ITClass> he certainly didn't notice the starcraft demo     <Cold_Lich|ITClass> The sad thing is, I haven't done a bit of work in 2 weeks and the rest of the class still hasen't caught up with me...     <Cold_Lich|ITClass> And tell me... would you consider it a bit... tasteless... to set your wallpaper to celebrity porn in a crowded class where the teacher wanders by every now and then?      <Cold_Lich|ITClass> !ping     <Cold_Lich|ITClass> whee. if i keep coming here around this time, I'll soon have more monologues than DE

And soon, the first problems for MijatV rise, apparently, he hates this map due to the fact that early creeping on it sux ass because of the powerful early creeps. In the following incident Soulrender and his personal guard formed of few ghouls decide to attack a group of Razormanes guarding MijatV’s natural expansion mine.

I will say no more; the picture speaks for itself...

<A_Flayer> lets paharteh!     <A_Flayer> I don feel so g40d     <MuLepton> ...     <MuLepton> you don't feel gaod?      <A_Flayer> i donr feeel so goof      <A_Flayer> jdanmit

Now, the situation is simple as hell: MijatV’s creeping party has been mostly decimated by razormanes, Bobojijo is walling himself in and CygnusX-1 doesn’t really do anything since he doesn’t know about the weak pigmen group close to his base.

Paranon on the other hand summons his second hero, a far seer whose name was so stupid I didn’t bother to remember it and I’m certain you wont be mad because of that.

And finally, another creeping party enters the field – Plagued_One sends Duke Ragereaver and a powerful legion of FOUR ghouls to creep.

In short, all five combatants are teching and not paying much attention to fighting each other.

<Giga> What have you been doing lately :)    <A_Flayer> dancing around butt naked    * MuLepton shivers

After some time Lord Soulrender leads another group of ghouls to finish off the Razormanes who almost decapitated him at the natural expansion mine. Vengeance is sweat.

Being very content with this victory Soulrender decides to go even farther away from home. Obviously way too happy (it can be seen on his face, don’t you agree?) for taking his revenge Lord Soulrender gets a bit brash and orders the attack on a tough party of creeps composed of two thunder lizards and three murlocks.

Obviously, the effects of this decision are disasterous...

By now, all players (except CygnusX-1) have killed all creeps near their starting locations and some inland creeping was commencing...

MijatV: yarr   Paranon: you realy like that word don't you?    MijatV: yarr

In the next part of the game everyone (except Plagued_One, hah, I bet you haven’t seen this one coming!) established their expansions or began establishing them. Also, everyone began creeping the middle while MijatV decided to cease creeping the middle and feeling content to give Soulrender some free time while he is massing Gargoyles and Frost Wyrms.

Paranon is still preparing his secret plan (hahhaha, you’re dying to know what it is, aren’t you!), Bobojijo has established a defense perimeter out of four farms and three guard towers. His army is made of footmen, a Mountain King, and an Archmage. He is also preparing his elven priests for “spam ‘em for as long as there’s enough money to spam some more”.

CygnusX-1 and Plagued_One are creeping like crazy at this phase of the game and, eventually, they clash... actually, CygnusX-1’s army assaults Plagued_One’s Death Knight while he was fighting some Thunder Lizards. Without thinkin’ Duke Ragereaver runs away as fast and as his skinny mount could carry him and miraculously – HE SURVIVED!!!

Gillomidil: Mij, hey mij!    Gillomidil pokes MijatV    Gillomidil: mij, u there?    Paranon: I think you've broken him.

Some more time passes without much to happen and MijatV finally uncovers (thanks to a shade he sent around the map to investigate the situation) Paranon’s ultra-secret plan – MASS KODOS!!!! A shade is assigned to follow this group of awesome creatures and see where they go.

Paranon’s “army” runs into a group of Bobojijo’s warriors right next to his base. Of course, footmen knew better then to charge into the ravenous maws of these mutated cows (damn, I really really REALLY hate when I rhyme myself) and naturally, they run away. Whereas or not some of their numbers actually got eaten is unknown to us and shall remain a mystery.

Obviously, the newly formed Kodo Herd required a lot of food to keep it in line so Paranon decided to (literally) chew on CygnusX-1’s army since Bobojijo’s was way too well protected by the above-mentioned defense perimeter.

Paranon’s kodos attack CygnusX-1’s base and manage to gulp a few footmen before being forced to withdraw to the outskirts of the green town by the two angry guard towers. Then, something unexpected by other three players happened: Paranon’s Kodo Herder... err... I meant Paranon’s Far Seer decides to offer alliance to CygnusX-1’s Archmage. After long time of siege CygnusX-1 decides to join Paranon and they now form an alliance to destroy their enemies.

This is unknown to other players and everyone believes Paranon and CygnusX-1 are battling to death.

MijatV: I'm back!    Gillomidil: Hey, its alive :D    Gillomidil: Umm... I meant as alive as ghouls go :P

Some more time passes, as usual everyone was rather active:

MijatV formed a fleet of Gargoyles and Frost Wyrms and sneakily hidden it from prying eyes by putting a rally point at the small location north of his base, therefore, above the sea.

Paranon and CygnusX-1 were preparing for war, Paranon added some raiders and wyverns to his kodo beast herd, now having a balanced army of Orcish tamers and their pets.

Plagued_One and Bobojijo both decided it was time to join the fight. Plagued_One decided it is time to prove his claim that he is the only Undead on the map and that there is no place for another of his kind on this little map. He decides to stomp MijatV by taking his mighty army of ghouls, meat wagons and his level 2 Death Knight and strike where it hurts the most – MijatV’s expansion.

If you tend to feel distressed when seeing a lot of ground units being utterly owned by air ones, don’t read the next few sentences or watch the next picture.

First, Duke Ragereaver bravely ordered a full charge at MijatV’s city. However, upgraded spirit towers and “The Big Gun” aka MijatV’s Black Citadel were rather capable of crushing their morale and Plagued_One decided to take a less heroic approach. What he didn’t know was that there was a force of giant bats and flying undead lizards coming at his army with deadly purpose.

And quickly the flyers were swarming Plagued_One’s meat wagons. However, the wagons already managed to level two spirit towers and also began raining corpses at the Citadel. However, they were quickly utterly crushed by the ravenous superflys.

And then the third force presented itself on the battlefield. Bobojijo decided to join the fray. He quickly learned of the error of his ways since his army was composed of footsies, a Mountain Midget and an Archmage, a force that you couldn’t rightly name Anti-Air Army. Most of them managed to flee but some of them faced the cold breath (go go orbit winterfresh!) of the wyrms.

MijatV’s attention was of Bobojijo by Duke Ragereaver who was still running around. Apparently he somehow survived the genocide of his forces and was still riding around and trying to win the battle all by himself...

He is quickly swarmed by the angry Northrend birdies and ripped to bits... For now, Plagued_One’s plan to rid the map of opposing Undead doesn’t work that good.

(LAN PARTY) EvilOne: Don't make me kick you out of the game!    Giga: Don't make me kick your teeth out of your mouth!

The result of the slaughter is that MijatV decides to stick around his base for some time while Plagued_One is left without a standing army. Bobojijo had a fright of his life and decides to hide behind his defense perimeter.

As if intentionally picking the worst moment, Paranon and CygnusX-1 decide it is time to start some major bloodshed. They take their armies and move northward towards Bobojijo’s base.

As if predicting this, Bobojijo decides it is best for him to remain behind his guard towers and his farm wall... but shall it be enough?

(LAN PARTY) Dugi: when playing WC3 I have an unbeatable strat: I always make six grannies, five of them mine gold, one is there to build more buildings, I always make Arthas and then I mass zerglings and demons and add a few witches and then three bone dragons and four cannons and then I wait for about one hour and then I go out of my base and kick everyone's ass!

Just as we were certain Bobojijo is going to remain home he decides to leave the relative safety of his town to venture southward, towards MijatV’s base perhaps?

It doesn’t matter, we’ll never find that out, because Bobojijo’s army ran into the midst of Paranon and CygnusX-1’s forces. In this complicated situation Bobojijo decides to do the best thing possible: run back home screaming like a girl.

This time however Paranon isn’t repelled by Bobojijo’s guard towers and decides to, together with CygnusX-1, force the attack into blue human base... and the slaughter began.

Bobojijo’s forces were effectively losing the battle, obviously unable to hold their ground, partially for being hammered by CygnusX-1’s combination of sorceresses, knights, footmen and heroes, partially for having most of their meat shield pretty much eaten alive by the above-mentioned herd of kodo beasts that Paranon calls his army.

Just as it seemed Bobojijo would be the first to see the hated “Game Over” sign another force entered the battlefield. Yellow Gargoyles and Frost Wyrms flew right into the ass of Paranon and CygnusX-1’s armies, ripping them apart as they attempted to regroup while being hammered by guard towers from the north and undead air force from the south.

What follows is a sad thing to watch – a bunch of goodies being stomped by the ravenous undead and evil human renegades... err... come to think of it, it would be more like Elven renegades since most or all Bobojijo’s footsies were being slowly digested.

Quickly enough, both CygnusX-1’s AM and Malar Plainstrider were caught and tortured to death... come to think of it there was no torture in this, they were simply enough blasted from existence by frost breath... yarr, go go frosties!

Soon enough, all attackers lay dead on the ground around Bobojijo’s base and MijatV offers an alliance to the blue hummies. And another alliance is formed. Now the game becomes really tight...

AznBearClaw: Please surrender, I need this win to get to level 11.     MijatV: Nop, you surrender please, I also need this win to get to level 11.    AznBearClaw: I asked you first.    MijatV: So what, I need my level 11 more then you do.     AznBearClaw: Damn... then let the skill decide...     AznBearClaw: man, please surrender :(

Then, MijatV decides to do what he does the best: he gets overly aggressive and instead of engaging the enemy expansions that clearly wouldn’t be able to defend themselves from the onslaught of frosties and gargs he decides to assault the very home of Paranon’s Orcs.

The resulting battle is fought at a lot more local level then the one that happened only a minute or so ago. MijatV’s depleted army makes a quick work out of four newly trained raiders and begin destroying Paranon’s burrows. The few surviving Bobojijo’s priests accompany the flyers. Just as it seemed Paranon would be crushed beyond repair CygnusX-1’s army TP-es into the fray. This time, it is composed of priests, sorceresses, knights, a paladin, footsies and few gryphons... now that’s what I call a colorful army.

Anyway, seeing that they are going to be overpowered, Lord Soulrender decides to read his town portal scroll and go for some wound licking. A cheer went out from the surviving peons as the green hummies began mercilessly killing Bobojijo’s priests.

In the following few minutes most was calm.

MijatV: don't mind my low level, I play a lot of ATs    VaMPeR-: aight    VaMPeR- has left the game.

After getting most of his army... what the hell am I talking about?!? I meant to say: after getting his poor deaders completely torn to bits  Plagued_One decides its time to expand and he does so in a very original and not often seen way, Undead players, watch closely, you may learn something from the following picture...

MijatV: u good?    kick_butt402: ya    MijatV: cool, you will make a mass of sorcs, priests and gryphons, I'll mass ghouls and necros    kick_butt402: k     kick_butt402: how do u make sorc?

In this time of peace, something very strange happened: Duke Ragereaver galloped right into MijatV’s base, not even attempting to attack or defend himself. He was quickly killed again without ever having a chance to explain what the hell was he doing...

Go go hero scouting!

MijatV: come help me kill the orc     kick_butt402: no    MijatV: ???    kick_butt402: its ur turn to attack now

Some time passes and, as always, peace is short-lived. Paranon and CygnusX-1 have mustered their forces and went for Bobojijo’s expansion. Although some bold priests attempted to draw their attention by sending cute white little pigeons at them they were set upon their goal.

At about this moment MijatV’s rotting fleet was engaged in a life-or-death struggle with the local Smaug after killing his infants. MijatV was also lacking a TP scroll so Bobojijo realized help wasn’t coming any time soon.

In one impressive act the Elven priests proved their devotion to Bobojijo: without any hint of even the slightless fear they attacked the armies of Paranon and CygnusX-1 all by themselves.

Needless to say, they were all mercilessly slaughtered.

And finally, Lord Soulrender charged into the bulk of enemy forces followed by an angry group of frosties and gargoyles who, just few seconds before, tasted dragon blood.

The fight was at its impetus but the greater numbers of Orcs and Humans managed to keep their ground without taking too much casualties, however, although the battle was obviously going in MijatV’s favor the situation was quite fickle.

And then the dead began to rise...

My favorite ultimate ladies and gentlemen... is the crappiest one >=(. Apparently, all it did was raise two raiders and a single priest... WOW, an ultimate that gave me an additional 10-13 damage unit and two siege damage units... GO GO BLIZZARD ULTIMATE BALANCING!!!

Bastards...

Anyway, the enemy withdraws nevertheless and once again, Bobojijo’s base is saved... but his expansion is utterly pulled to the ground and I don’t think his starting gold mine is full of gold... actually... its depleted.

<KamikazeChicken> You can dance,    <KamikazeChicken> You can dance,    <KamikazeChicken> everybody look at your pants!    <GigaTheGenerous> that's gay

And again, the same crap occurs, MijatV decides to push his advantage into Paranon’s main base. This time however, Bobojijo is even less capable of supporting him in that endeavor and a last offensive on Paranon’s base is launched.

In the following battle few Paranon’s buildings were put to the torch... err... I meant put on ice... ahem... Malar Plainstrider has been slain by Lord Soulrender and all MijatV’s units except the unkillable Soulrender (in case you are senile and have forgotten every other hero got killed at least once in this game).

Judging that he can’t act as a one man army the lemon death knight decides its time to run towards the sunset... err... MijatV’s headquarters. He escapes with a lot of wounds but alive nevertheless... ummm... come to think of it, are Death Knights truly alive or not?

Whatever is the answer, Lord Soulrender got out of the trouble one more time. How does he always do that?! Soulrender has only one thing to say about that: “I’m smart.”

<GigaTheGenerous> shouldn't maeras make a... "christmas name?"    <Mearas> And it's Mearas, idiot    <GigaTheGenerous> same shit    *** You were kicked by ChanServ (Ok, Gagi (Mearas))

The situation in the following minutes is quite pathetic for all combatants except Plagued_One. CygnusX-1 got his army reduced to few footsies, the resurrected Archmage, pallie and few priests and sorceresses, Paranon has few wyverns, his Far Seer and Malar Plainstrider... alright, Malar is currently in Altar of Storms being resurrected but he’ll be up’n’runnin’ some time soon. Bobojijo has few of his favorite units: 8 priests. MijatV is reduced to few gargs, some crypties, ghoul lumberjacks (who already made a big plantless field on the place where the forest once stood... so much for preserving the nature), Lord Soulrender who was slowly healing himself on blight and a frostie-in-making. Plagued_One is the luckiest of the five; he has two aboms, a bulk of crypties, four or five wagons and a few ghouls.

As always, peace is not long lasting as Paranon decides to hamper Bobojijo's expansion-in-building by sending two wyverns that quickly get driven away by a pair of MijatV's gargs...

<AredNosedReindeer> Hey Gigs   <AredNosedReindeer> you have to have a Christmas themed name    <Giga> Umm    <Giga> lemme think...    *** Giga is now known as GigaTheFrozen    <AredNosedReindeer> herm    * GigaTheFrozen asks if it is good enough.     <AredNosedReindeer> I think Something cheerier would be better    <AredNosedReindeer> SnowGiga?    <GigaTheFrozen> ummm     *** GigaTheFrozen is now known as GigaTehSnowed     <GigaTehSnowed> ok now?     <AredNosedReindeer> herm     <AredNosedReindeer> It still doesn't cheery    <AredNosedReindeer> GigatheGenerous    <AredNosedReindeer> ?    * AredNosedReindeer pokes Giga    * AredNosedReindeer pokes Giga again    <AredNosedReindeer> hello?     <AredNosedReindeer> augh

After the minor fight with the two wyverns one major attack took place. Plagued_One once again assaulted MijatV’s main. This time releasing the full power of his crypt fiends on MijatV’s frosties and gargoyles. While fiends were occupying Lord Soulrender and the airbornes meat wagons set to their task of leveling MijatV’s black citadel.

Bobojijo sends his priests to support MijatV’s defense by attacking the wagons from the rear. However, they are stopped by two abominations and spend time occupied with fighting the two uberzombies.

And quickly, the citadel is reduced to pieces... it is not the only one thou as Duke Ragereaver, the red crypt fiends and the two abominations are once again stomped by the flying army of the yellow seal.

With the black citadel destroyed the meat wagons focus their fire on MijatV’s altar which also gets destroyed just before the last of the meat wagons crumbles under the yellow rays of the gargoyles.

As if the goddess of luck turned her back (shit, again I rhyme myself) on MijatV and Bobojijo, Paranon sends his three wyverns to crush Bobojijo’s gold-mining facilities.

Obviously, the things look very grim for MijatV and Bobojijo as in the meantime; both Paranon and CygnusX-1 trained a lot of new warriors to help their cause... whatever that may be...

* A_Flayer|Gamesy shoots Giga with an explosive dart    * Giga strangles flayer    * A_Flayer|Gamesy takes his clothes off    * Giga runs away screaming

After the battle MijatV felt completely overran by anger and we cant blame him, he just lost his Black Citadel. Then, with deadly purpose he took his surviving army out of his base and headed south, determined to trash Plagued_One once and for all...

Unfortunately, MijatV took the wrong route and ended up next to CygnusX-1’s natural expansion. Few moments before that yellow and green armies passed thru each other and against all logic, there was no fighting. How could this happen? One may never know...

Nevertheless, seeing the weakly defended CygnusX-1’s expansion MijatV thought: “WTF, I’m already here, let’s do it.” and ordered Lord Soulrender to erase the expansion. At first the Undead took out a single guard tower and seemed as if they are going to destroy the town hall. Suddenly, the armies of Paranon and CygnusX-1 presented themselves and then came the battle known as the Battle of the Brown Hill...

In this epic battle seven great leaders fell, over 50 units died and the expansion was utterly destroyed...

None of this is true of course, its more like MijatV’s army was completely crushed, Lord Soulrender was the only champion to die and Paranon and CygnusX-1’s heroes gained one shitload of experience points.

Oh and, the Battle of the Brown Hill is also known by the strange fact that many flying sheep were destroyed during its course... yarr...

<Giga> HI SCULLY     <Tscully> Scooby Doo.    * Giga kisses tscully passionately    <Tscully> ...    * Tscully stabs giga.    * Giga bites tscully passionately at the neck    * Tscully shoots giga Passionatley in the face

After eradicating MijatV’s army Paranon and CygnusX-1 went right at Bobojijo’s weakly defended town. First to fall was Bobojijo’s expansion. Deciding it is stupid to stand and waste his units trying to save what cannot be saved, Bobojijo performs what will come to be known as: The Great Withdrawal...

<Tscully> it was PWNAGE!     <Giga|playingWC3> YAY    <Giga|playingWC3> PWNAGE MAUAHAHAH

Teh Great Withdrawal! Go go!

Anyway, as obvious on the first picture, Bobojijo decided to build something else except priests and that one is, again obvious, a knight. All of his units fled right into MijatV’s well packed mass of spirit towers aka his base.

The Archmage was the last to flee, probably wishing to look like a real captain – fleeing last when his ship was sinking. Apparently, this was a wrong decision. I shall say no more and let the pictures do the talking.

<Tscully> Triple level 7 ORc heros > all    <Giga|playingWC3> no shit?      <Giga|playingWC3> (sarcasm)

What follows can only be named an act of sadism. Paranon and CygnusX-1 went straight into Bobojijo’s abandoned base. After few seconds of excessive violence Bobojijo’s defense perimeter was utterly destroyed and the two armies continued into the unprotected town of Bobojijo.

Only three people survived the massacre, a single peasant who saved a single bag of gold, which bought him a good life (and later he actually built a house for himself). The other two survivors managed to salvage a single bulk of timbers. These went to the south near Plagued_One’s headquarters.

With Bobojijo’s base destroyed, most of his army, including the Mountain King who was now leading the survivors, was stationed in MijatV’s base where they expected the final attack.

* Giga looks at Mulepton, then grins evilly      * Mulepton looks at the ban stick, then also grins evilly     * Giga looks at mulepton, then at the ban stick, then again at Mulepton and with a sad expression on his face shooks his head no

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!!!! NOT AGAIN!!!

Plagued_One once again attacks MijatV’s base with numerous crypt fiends, meat wagons and a level 2 death knight named Duke Ragereaver. This time, MijatV’s flyers are supported by Bobojijo’s priests, a single knight and a Mountain King.

Quickly the battle is over with Plagued_One’s army destroyed... for the fourth time methinks... or was it fifth... Anyway, during the final stages of this battle MijatV was jumping before his computer and yelling: “DIE YOU MOTHERFUCKER, DIE DIE DIE DIE AND DIE!!!!!”

And here comes the final stand of Bobojijo and MijatV. The combined armies of Paranon and CygnusX-1 hit MijatV’s base (in which most buildings were unsummoned in order to get money to buy more units and upgrade ziggurats) like a morning tide.

The first to die was the leader of Bobojijo’s troops – the Midget King who gets ensnared and swarmed by Paranon’s army. In one bloody act he gets chopped to bits before the eyes of his comrades... nasty Paranon...

And the battle starts, everyone fights (even idle acolytes, heck, now they certainly aren’t idle any more) but nevertheless, the force of the attacking army is too vast for MijatV and Bobojijo’s armies to hold and quickly, the battle goes into the attackers favor.

Soulrender gets killed as he was desperately trying to flee to the back of his city. A single raider runs him thru and the fabled Lord Soulrender dies for the very last time...

Quickly (and efficiently) the last defending units fall and the Orcs & Hummies proceeded with leveling MijatV’s base... and thus ended the last heroic stand of Bobojijo and MijatV...

Alright, I've ran out of quotes, that's too bad :(

Not wanting to waste any time Paranon and CygnusX-1 immediately went south on a seek’n’destroy mission. Finally, FINALLY they decided to take Plagued_One out.

On their way south the leading sorceress of CygnusX-1’s army runs into another Plagued_One’s army, this one composed of Meat Wagons and Duke Ragereaver... hell, this guy once again went for MijatV...

After few seconds the two armies are upon Plagued_One’s meager group... alright, what follows cannot exactly be called a battle, more like another shameless act of sadism... who’s the bad guy here anyway?

Come to think of it, I should have used more of these comics-like situations with units doing the talking... /me writes that down.

The very last member of, once great, MijatV’s undead legion – a shade, attempts to see the action and gets utterly pwned for its troubles... damn gyros and their blasted true sight >=(...

And the attack commences...

One of the stupiddest jokes, this one I've heard while I was in Bristol in England: the Irishman, the Englishman and the Scottishman are in a plane. Suddenly the plane starts falling and they have to jump out. Englishman jumps out and says: "God save me!" and he falls into a pool full of water and naturally survives, the Scottishman jumps and says: "God save me!" and falls on a tree and survives, the Irishman jumps and says: "What did they say?! Oh yeah: God SHAVE ME!!!" and he fell into a bathroom!

In the next few moments, MijatV surrendered and therefore joined the observers. In the last few moments of the game he was reveling in the sight of Plagued_One’s base being utterly pulled to the ground!

KILL HIM PARANON, CRUSH HIM CYGNUSX-1!!!

Yarr... Plagued_One really pissed him, didn’t he?

And the game ends...

'tis an irony, isn't it? The first one to enter combat against other player is the last one to die...

And here is the statistic... and we all know how statistic works, it’s like a bikini, it reveals everything but shows nothing.

Anyway, MijatV is the absolute leader, being the first in Overview by having the best hero and resource score. Right behind him is Paranon who also had an awesome hero and resource score and an even better unit score (but not by much). On the far third place is CygnusX-1 and Bobojijo is planted on the fourth place while the hated Plagued_One is last!

On the unit table CygnusX-1 is the best (well, like I said, he combined a lot of units... and had A LOT of them). He is followed by MijatV on the second place and Paranon on the third. As expected, Bobojijo is the last while Plagued_One is actually better then he... Obviously, massing priests isn’t such a good idea after all...

Paranon leads in the heroes table purely because of the fact he had two heroes. However, even thou MijatV had only Lord Soulrender the number of slain heroes is the same while MijatV obtained more XP points then Paranon... not by much thou. As for the items, Paranon has a single item more then MijatV. Third is CygnusX-1 thanks to the fact he was allied with Paranon, fourth is Bobojijo thanks to his three heroes and the last is Plagued_One. GO GO LEVEL 2 DEATH KNIGHT!!!!

The resource table is led by CygnusX-1 on the first place and MijatV on the second. Surprisingly, the third is Plagued_One, the fourth is Paranon and poor Bobojijo is the last which is logical since his resource gathering was hindered all the time thru the course of this long game. And so ended one of the best FFAs and one of the first games I played with Paranon and CygnusX-1 and also one of the first MijatV’s games on Azeroth.

Well done players!
