My cannons are too small.
Congrats Baalz.

As the one who rolled the Pretenders for this game, it wasn't hard to know who to put my money on as the most likely winner.

Some really weird creations came out of the AI-designer, but compared to a lot of the others, Baalz pretty much hit the jackpot with his Gorgon and magic 3 scale. Not perfect by a long way, but IIRC Baalz's scales in particular were pretty nice compared to everyone else, with no nasty maxed out Death / Drain / Misfortune to have to deal with.

I'll have a dig about to see if I still have the master and reject lists of Pretenders for this game.


And of course congrats to Baalz :)

Did anyone actually manage to Magic Duel that Gorgon or not?

Alright, it's official. Baalz is the winner.

Congrats to Baalz. You really knew how to push that Gorgon-vantage (still, I sometimes wake up at night, crying for my beautiful W9A9D4B4 Blue Dragon) and bloodsaccing was a very nice choice of stragedy.

In hindsight, the game could have used a smaller map (to make the game flow quicker and to make death scales less crippling). Minimum dom of 5 in all designs could also have been a great idea.

So yeah, if anyone wants to start a another game with this concept, I can generate the AI gods for that.

i know i informed allies a couple times when gorgon was vulnerable, but noone teleported apparently. I still think baalz mighta been beaten if people piled on him, but from what i saw on the graphs, despite my desperate warnings, noone else really seriously attacked sauro as we neared the point of no return. If niefel had really charged in during that point maybe it coulda been broken up some. oh well, i came in 3rd ish, or maybe tied for 3rd. Which is a fine result by my book :)
