ah damn :/ But yeah the Phoenix Elves special allows him to add 2 damage to any unit within 2 spaces without dice roll :p so really, only your roll was down to luck... what did you roll? Did you have a chance to kill him?

No, he was full health and I rolled 3/3. Oh well.
 
Game 1 Ascension final: Octobot 81 - Astrolad 80
Such a good first game. I thought you had it Astro when you cleared all my constructs out.
 
gaaah that was awesome. i actually thought i was toast pretty early on when you got all those constructs and i was sitting there with only decent monster-killing so even though it was a bummer was a very fun game
 
So I downloaded Summoner Wars, butvim wary about the IAP's... Are they there to make the playing field uneven, or just unlock new modes like Carc?

They a) unlock online play and b) give you extra factions. They're really well balanced though, and at this point noone knows them too well anyway :p they also add mercenary packs to add some customization to the default decks, if you wanna swap out some cards.
 
Ascension finals game 2
Astrolad 60 - Octobot 53
Closer than I thought that game. You seemed to always have those librarians in hand lol
 
OP needs some Summoner Wars / Le Havre love. Speaking of Le Havre, is anyone actually playing? All my games have been waiting for a few days :\

Summoner Wars crashes too often. Anyone know if they're going to fix this or should I just delete and re-install?
Click to expand...

Haven't had a single crash in A LOT of playtime yet... I'd say gIve reinstalling a try. Game just came out, I'm sure they'll fix more bugs soon.
 
I just realized something:

7 Magic points - I could summon some serious looking Vanguards if that wall turns up.
You wouldn't dare attack my Vanguard Lady with 1 remaining health then.
No way.
I'd keep well away.
Just in case.

Damn Gaurdian and his stupid special ability just saved your ass right now! ><

BLARG! I wasted a damage booster card too!

If you lose this game from here just delete SW and never reinstall it.
10 Magic - No walls!!!!
Click to expand...

The worst part of not having walls, is that when youdo get one, you will still have to wait till next turn to summon.



Fuck, Ive got a crazy gamble going on here with Anilones, I hope it pays off in the end. Haha.

Not that it matters now but the Vanguards have an event (take 3 magic from discard pile) which allows a summons directly after playing it.
I played it to shed cards from my hand, but if I kept it and got a wall I could have got someone else on the board.
12 Magic points....
 
Anilones said:
I'm currently 5-0, I can't lose, I mustn't lose.
Click to expand...

You shouldnt have, but now you might....


I summoned the wrong champ, haha. I summoned the one that gets a bonus 1 damage on attack, instead of the one that can control an enemy unit. fuuuuuuu.

Edit: Yup! and there goes that champ, I will be pretty sad to lose this match just because I summoned the wrong dude, haha. le sigh.

Yeah its a brutal way to lose with so much magic like that. Dwarves are really fun to play, I usually dislike Dwarf anything, but they are one of my favorites in this game.

edit: sorry. Its really early, I totally forgot I just posted, haha.
 
FUCKING MISCLICK!!!!!!

Ret-Talus' special has fucked me like a dozen times now. I didn't want to summon units, I wanted to attack with him! God damn it!
 
RaySpencer said:
Super intense. Im just glad me running away like a bitch for like 10 turns payed off, I would have felt really bad if it hadnt. Great game man.
Click to expand...

I need to stop being so offensive. I've been pretty much just aggressively attacking every turn and it's killing me. I think now I've got a pretty good handle on a couple factions but I just randomed the cloaks in a game and have no idea!

This game is fantastic.

I'm on an iPod Touch 4. Crashes all the time when I'm trying to customize decks. I reported it and they said they're working on it. Aside from that it's been pretty stable.
 
Edit: thought Anilones quoted me, not Eznark! Whoops.

Both Anilones and especially smiley have pretty awesome win/loss records. I need to know your guys secrets!

Reminder on the rules:

- Single game matches against each opponent
- Double elimination
- Base game only
- Feel free to work out whether you'll play async or live with your opponent.

We didn't need any time limits last time, so hopefully everyone will keep making their moves this time. I'd say a resonable time frame to finish a match is three days. Most last time did finished their matches on the same day they were assigned, so it all went pretty quick. We have a hardcore enough group here that it should work. How awesome is it, by the way, to have 30+ hardcore boardgamers ready to play online against each other? :)

The time to lock in the brackets is nigh upon us. If you want to play and haven't told us yet, now is the time. Give me your GC name and Friend ELO rating plskthx. I'll lock it down this afternoon and we can get started with the matchups. LETS DO THIS, GAF.
 
Along with updating the thread title, I corrected the scandalous spelling mistake AstroLad made! Carcassonne, not Carcassone!!! *nerd meltdown*

Thanks Stump! That's some fast fucking service! Now go buy summoner wars and we can play :P

lol that ice wall special attack is so awesome. I just wiped out 4 units with it.

Yeah, the frost giants are a lot of fun, and really good... Maybe even tooooo good! Smashers taking for sure damage sucks sometimes though, haha.
 
My Fallen Kingdom vs Fallen Kingdom game with blackflag is taking a long time.

Current position:

I think I'm in a good position, but it's going to need some luck since we're pretty much out of resources.
 
I like it more. It gives it more of a strategic feel to me. You have to keep in mind how far you need to move your pieces, how much magic both sides have and where they can get more, and total power of each side. I don't need to worry about drawing what I need or having my opponent draw better.

I really hope the Orc and dwarf numbers go down a bit, it seems pretty well balanced, but the orcs specifically seem too high.

Edit: I broke your list with my bolding :(
