So for those of us to lazy to watch the replay - who won?
Sucks to Be You, the Poison Golem, fighting for Baalz.

Worth watching!

My favourite was the Emperor with his gifts from heaven.

The mechanical man was rather strange and amusing. Why a mechanical man?!?

And with that I believe I win the argument as to whether poison golems qualify as SCs...

I bet though if we ran that fight 5 times we'd get 5 different winners, way too much paper-rock-scissors and insta kill hope-the-die-roll-favors-me. Plus, my guy only fought two battles, I gotta give the moral victory to that emperor who squished like 5 guys.

Yeah if you want to do this right, there needs to be swiss rounds.

Thank you thank you. That old fart did quite well. In his last fight against the Devourer, he really did want to fight on, but his advisers would have none of it, and the palanquin bearers took him away from the battle in spite of his protests. So he wasn't cowardly or anything. Nope not chicken at all.

And thanks potatoman for running this. I'm sure we'll be seeing lifelong protection and phoenix pyre being used more often in MP games after this

I have always had alot of faith in Phoenix pyre for scs, its like insurance against the ineveitable unlucky shots.

Anybody else notice that when the cyclops lost his only eye he recived two affliction hearts. Never noticed that before.

I thought the mechanical man was super ballzie, kudos! I think that proves that for one on ones its not the chasssies hp, its the magic items and empowerment that wins the game.

I had fun with my eater, too bad he was enslaved, low mr really hurt this round.

The Emperor Impressed me personally. Imp spam with Gifts from heaven. I was sure he would die in the first round and he kept on winning. This is one of the most educational things I have ever seen for Dominions, I learned so much! :O

I'm glad that poison golems, phoenix pyre, and lifelong protections got a good showing - I'm rather fond of them all.
