LOL!

It is done! The turn file of Supercombatant Arena 2 is attached to this post. Congratulations to the winner!

I'd also like to mention that I got special satisfaction out seeing some of the more creative builds in the contest, like Twan's blinking bow of war/vision's foe sniper, Calmon's Siege Golem (with diabolical metagaming tactics), Cor2's goofy nigh unkillable Eater of the Dead, Wick's ballsy Devourer of Souls gambit, and NTJedi's ridiculous imp-spamming Crone build. Almost everyone's build was cunning, powerful, and had a real shot at winning (with the required luck!) Every battle was close and very entertaining.

Thanks for playing!

Ha ha ha Gifts From Heaven really has it in for the Furious Bastard, that's what killed me last tourney too.

[Twan]

Thanks for organization.

It's sad my sniper managed to fail a morale check she seemed to work well :" (sorry for the blind gratz, not really in condition for the next match).

LOL, in MP the AI always casts touch of madness thus getting my mages killed. In the Arena the AI was smarter and overruled my script for touch of madness, hence one super buffed Arch Angel runs away like a coward
