Flander the Wizard, Day 1
Ahh so my rat brother has finally manned up enough to face me in a real duel! It would seem I have been granted the opportunity to select a powerful item first. Very well... I choose the Crystal Ball! My brother's actions will no longer be hidden in the shadows as I will watch his every move.
Turn sent
Good luck and have fun! But not as much fun as you had last time

Almost forgot to say one thing about this game. Go Travis II! Sorry, Timelord, but I want the guy who beat me to win the title And I guess you have a lot of people believing in you already (IIRC, I voted that you will become a champ too), so this shouldn't break the balance in the Universe, right?

We expected this would happen. In fact, we planned for this to happen. The only difference being - it happened a day earlier. Still, we grabbed the opportunity presented to us and utilized it to it's full potential. Thanks, brother! Oh, did I mention that we took the Training Grounds back?

So, my brother has still not changed his ways, it would seem. Throwing away mana, casting power and units - all for a moldy old hat? At least, we now know a lot of things based on that attack...

Moldy old hat?! Why you... you... you picked it! If you didn't want it, why would you pick it! Hmph, typical of you Brother!
Brother only knows what we want him to think he knows! Yes, that and that only. Oh I bet I know exactly what Brother is thinking, and hear me now, you are wrong!
He seems to have gotten a quest last night, in which Infidels spawned very near where the Lurker fiasco occurred. Oh how grand it would be if they killed some of his men!

Edit: I forgot to note, when I first went to load the turn, it loaded and the password screen very briefly showed up and then the entire game just closed. Loaded it again and played turn out completely fine. Also, it didn't cause a restart message or anything like that. Just hoping our file doesn't have something wrong with it!

Nothing untoward on my end. As long as password is not entered (or the splash screen not clicked away, in the absence of a password), the turn is not considered opened by the game.

So, I save money for 2 days not building anything and selling some structures and I opened my eyes today morning fully expecting to recruit what I was hoping to recruit. When all of a sudden, a huge figure comes galloping up and challenged me to give him work or he will lay waste to me! He looked like a fine warrior and so I hired him. It cost me 375 gold but I know Azktor the Unholy Paladin will definitely prove useful in the coming skirmishes.
Where to get more money? My goblin scouts revealed the absence of the dreaded magic relay priest in the immediate area so we decided to do some summoning of our own - tomorrow should net a good chunk of gold, courtesy of my brother.

Wizard Flander, Day of Victory
Past couple days I've had a bad feeling in my gut. You see I've been devising a plan to thwart my Brother once and for all. This all came about when I received an Earth Elemental for completing a quest. I decided through magic tricks I should be able to conjure up enough of a force to send him to the void again - but this time until I could prepare a circus for him to play in! Haha!
So I breached the earthy wall and summoned a Northern Glow and Lurker to do my bidding. Unfortunately what I saw was quite impressive, a strong buildup of troops, seemingly waiting to breach the wall themselves? (OOC: When we receive tunnelers?)
No matter, I've already summoned my assassins and so I sent them off to do their task. Through great skill they have sent my Brother to the void and killed his wimpy guards!!
Now I must build a circus for him to play in, when I wish to pull him from the wretched void...
Turn sent
Good game, yikes! I guess those troops were just hanging out until the day we get tunnelers? I didn't have enough troops to defend against them in the new hole I created, but should have been able to retreat had my assassins failed. On that, I ran quite a few tests against FlanderKnight and a Hellhound with good results. Didn't expect to see the Silver Medal Archer there but it was too late to change my mind at that point.
Well, thanks for the game Timelord! I'm curious how you were doing elsewhere on the map, like the surface?
Also, many thanks to those who thought I could pull it off

Haven't opened the turn yet but a lurker and a northern glow? Against a wizard, hell hound and a veteran archer behind walls? Wow. That just sucks
I already knew about your elemental and those troops were waiting for you to breach. On the surface, I would have had my first dragon next turn and was positioned to take out both the Elven (SW) and Dark Elven (NE) towns next turn too. I don't know how you were doing on the surface but I was planning on getting the central tower in 2-3 turns.

I expected you were doing well. I'll be the first to admit, you're the better player. I knew if I had a chance to win, it wouldn't be letting the game go on and on as you would progress faster than myself. My surface exploration wasn't nearly as nice sounding.
How did you know about the Earth Elemental? I thought I kept him far enough hexes away from view of your troops, should they come close to the wall.
Oh about the deciding battle - I can't really say how well it went (since I can't see it). In tests the Wizard/Hellhound were very often stunned, which gave the Northern Glow an easy time finishing them off.

Wow... It really happened!! Congrats Travis! It seems you have really mastered wizard killing technique 3 wins in a row in such a manner, right?
Would you guys mind tell us about what was happening in the first days? I figure the training ground trick was for grabbing resources for the capitol (nice done by the way), but still more details are wanted

I killed naecO sort of in the same manner, but I didn't plan that one. Perhaps it gave me the instinct to continue to try to do so! Vovy's wasn't as planned as yours or Timelord's though, I think I just got lucky with that one .
I'll post more tomorrow, off to bed now. I will download the turns again so I can reference and give any details (and screenshots) that might be wanted .

Wow, congratulations, TravisII!!! Who would have thought...? I hoped, yes, but that's a totally different matter

Ladies and gentlemen, we are live at the scene where Travis obtained an incredible victory over Timelord, the top favourite!
TravisII congratulations with this victory and winning the entire tournament! Had you imagined this when you just signed up? It seems like you have a speciality in Wizard killing! Did you have a long term plan as well?
Timelord, congratulations for making it into the finals. What was your long-term plan? Did you feel this coming? And is there anything that you've learned or will do differently?
Absolutely not. My real intention was to join the tournament and do well enough so that people would know my name at least a little around AoWSM. Sort of an introduction into the AoWSM community if you will. That way I could join some PBEM games, confidently.
It seems like you have a speciality in Wizard killing!
Certainly! Before AoW1 and AoWSM I played a game where killing the enemy King would cripple them so badly, that you'd have no problem finishing them off (usually). After thinking about it, I think my Wizard-killing-at-all-cost methods stem from that. I even just sneakily killed off a Wizard in a regular PBEM game the other day. Works well .
Did you have a long term plan as well?
Nope, I had a short term plan of trying to kill him early on. Had I not killed Timelord's Wizard I would have been ruined. He had some strong troops there and I'm not sure how long I would have held out once they rushed at me. I did have Pestilence researched though, which should have helped me some.

Congrats, TravisII!
A quite impressive win and you invented a new style as it seems.
Also congrats to Timelord, who is a very strong player and had an impressive way to the final!
