As announced in the first article, the Shadow Realm expansion will add one new layer (the Shadow Realm), one new race and one new dwelling. More content may be added if the volunteers working on the expansion manage to complete it in their free time. The dwelling will be the Dark Elf Dwelling, which has been developed mainly by Gloweye (idea and coding) and Charlatan (art). <img style="max-width:95%" src="http://www.my-league.com/games/273/downloads/newsimages/47398/273/4720160918_ShadowRealm_news2_dark-elf2.jpg" /> Dark Elf Sharpshooter by Charlatan, work in progress, made in Blender The Dark Elf Dwelling is well advanced. As for the rest of the project though, it currently lacks someone with skills in using the software Maya to weight paint the 3D models developed by Charlatan for the Dwelling: if you are or if you know of any such person, please contact Hiliadan or any other person involved in the project! The project would also welcome very warmly any person with other graphical skills (icons, 3D models). <img style="max-width:95%" src="http://aow.triumph.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/in_combat.jpg" /> Archon models developed by Flenoom, in collaboration with Zaskow, which are parts of the assets the expansion could use The team working on the expansion would like to sincerely thank Triumph Studios for their support to the game and to the expansion itself. Triumph fixed many bugs in their latest v1.705 patch and took time to work on one issue specifically hampering the expansion (related to the map editorâ€™s way of dealing with memory). The fix from Triumph may allow us to also include some nice maps (and maybe more) in the expansion! <img style="max-width:95%" src="http://www.my-league.com/games/273/downloads/newsimages/47398/273/4720160918_Showcase_Supporters_AshenRoseMonument_Serenity.jpg" /> Example of structures that players will encounter in the Shadow Realm, the Sword of the Ashen Rose, by Charlatan, made as a tribute for Ramlethal (a.ka. Shiara384 on the AoW forums) - several of the structures that will be included in the Shadow Realm were first made in tribute to players who helped Charlatan in his work, and are now included in the <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=520692430" target="_blank">Decodence mod</a> The expansion progresses slowly but progresses nonetheless. We will keep you updated: more on following news! <div class="fb-like" data-href="%2Findex.php%3Fpage%3Dcommnews%26amp%3Beingabenewsid%3D806" data-layout="standard" data-action="like" data-colorscheme="dark" data-size="small" data-show-faces="true" data-share="true"></div> <a href="https://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-url="https://www.my-league.com" data-count="horizontal" data-via="myleague" >Tweet</a> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" ></script> <hr><a href="index.php?page=commnews&eingabenewsid=805"><h3>PBEM balance mod v1.17 released and v1.18 soon ready</h3> After some delays, v1.17 of the community PBEM balance mod has been released on a new "beta branch" of the mod. It corrects a few bugs found in v1.16 and update the descriptions of abilities, to increase users' confort while using the mod. The changelog of v1.18 is also ready: this version tackles Death March and Arch Druid's evolve mechanisms, both of which were considered over-powerful. New releases will now be first pushed to the new "beta branch" http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=758212846 and will be released on the main balance mod http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=661597466 only after several days/weeks of tests.</a> 2016-09-10 07:33:52| Geschrieben von <a href="index.php?page=sendemail&sendto=2" >Hiliadan</a>Before going through the history of the release and the changelog, let's remind everyone what is the balance mod and why everyone should use it to improve his/her game experience. What is the PBEM balance mod? The PBEM balance mod (which you can download from <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=661597466" target="_blank">its Steam Workshop's page</a>) is a mod mainly developed by Zaskow, cbower and Hiliadan which aims to balance the game for PBEM and single play, that is to say to make it possible for any combination of class/race/specialisations chosen before the game starts to win a match if after the start of the match, the player makes good strategic and tactical choices. The mod has been developed with the AoW3's community and changes are integrated only after a consensus is reached regarding the need to add these changes to the mod. It is thus not a mod based on the opinion of its developers but a real community mod. Changes that do not achieve their initial aims are edited or removed and the mod has already been through several iterations to, little by little, make AoW3 more balanced. Why PBEM players and single players should use the PBEM balance mod? Triumph does not balance the game any more. Its latest official patch, v1.705, does not bring any balance change and instead focuses on bug fixing. Triumph stated that they are happy with the current balance of the game. It is thus now the job of the community to balance the game and your best choice if you want a more balanced game is to use the balance mod! The game suffers from several big imbalances that the mod corrects: - Necromancers can win games in 10-20 turns by reanimating Death Bringers and Titans and Ghoul Cursing all the units of the maps with their heroes/leader and their Death Bringers with 100% chances of success thanks to Inflict Despair <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLVegwVpl7gLENQGy5fjGryvor43W_GA3j[/youtubelist] Illustration of why Necro is OP - Round 5 of the 2015 PBEM Duel Tournament - <a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=profil&playerid=47398" target="_blank">Hiliadan</a> vs Eskild (who changed his name to <a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=comminfo&playerid=47386" target="_blank">Ezekiel</a> later) - Necromancer Draconian mirror match - XP farming is encouraged in the official version because touch abilities (Touch of Faith, Bestow Iron Heart, etc.) provide XP whenever they are used and the limits of XP each unit can yield when it is hit is too high, meaning that players have huge incentives to stall fights to use all their touch abilities and to limit damages caused to enemy units to harvest as much XP as possible from these units (this can also be seen in the videos above) - Mind control abilities are too strong and can be accessed too early, making mind control strategies dominant and production/summoning strategies unable to compete - Slayer's Doubt and Stiffen Limbs last until the End of Battle in the official release, making high-level sites very easy to clear in early games - Dreadnought and Halflings are too slow and too weak respectively making them uncompetitive. This (and the Necro) dominance can clearly be seen in <a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=ladderstats&tourneyid=pbemduelltournament" target="_blank">the statistics of the latest 2015 PBEM Duel Tournament</a> - And many more smaller issues If you are a PBEM player, you definitely need to use the mod. Using the exploits and imbalances listed above to win removes the fun of the game (it is too easy!) and being defeated by an opponent using them is equally not fun because there is nothing much you can do to win. If you are a single player, you probably like to face some difficulty when you play a game. Playing an unbalanced game is like playing with cheat codes: you can win easily but it is not really fulfilling. The balance mod pays attention not to bring changes that can reduce the fun for single players (and if you find some changes remove fun from the game, please come <a href="http://aow.triumph.net/forums/topic/pbem-balance-mod/" target="_blank">discuss them with us</a> so that we find solutions). Using the mod thus brings you the benefits of a more fulfilling game without any drawbacks. <img style="max-width:95%" src="http://www.my-league.com/games/273/downloads/newsimages/47398/273/4620160911_v1-17_Brew-Brother-reset-cooldown.png" /> An example of a fun capacity added to the game by the balance mod: Brew Brothers can now make it possible for Halfling Farmers to throw their chicken on the enemy a second time! Their Fortifying Meal reset the countdown on Throw Chicken History of the v1.17 and v1.18 releases v1.16 was released around 15 July 2016 (see <a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=commnews&eingabenewsid=42" target="_blank">news about its release</a>) and a few bugs were discovered soon after. The idea was to correct them as soon as possible. Unfortunately, for diverse reasons, our team of moders, Zaskow and cbower, were not able to work on v1.17 until recently. Similarly, three key balance issues were identified after the release of v1.16 and it was decided to correct them for the second round of the <a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=tourneymain&tourneyid=5" target="_blank">PBEM 2vs2 Team Tournament</a> organised on the <a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=community" target="_blank">Battlefield</a> (see <a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=commnews&eingabenewsid=43" target="_blank">news about the launch of its first round</a>). v1.18 would thus nerf Death March, Arch Druid (AD)'s evolving Spiders and Serpents, and remove Dominate from Arcane Forge's items. In the end, v1.17 was released on 5 September 2016 on the beta branch (you can <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=758212846" target="_blank">download it on the Steam Workshop</a>) and v1.18 should be released soon. What's next? As explained in <a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=commnews&eingabenewsid=42" target="_blank">the article about the release of v1.16</a>, a big new release - v1.2 - is planned for the Winter, with many new changes to make all specialisations attractive, limit the capacity to keep huge armies without income, further balance Arch Druids, balance Pounce, but also changes such as healing becoming once per battle, mind controlled units getting an increase in their upkeep and a rebalance of high-level sites (see <a href="http://aow.triumph.net/forums/topic/balancing-sites/" target="_blank">forum's discussion about this last topic</a>). An intermediate version may be released for round 3 of the PBEM 2vs2 Team Tournament to further balance Necro. Triumph's developers have been very supportive and included a few improvements in their new v1.705 release to make several changes possible through moding. They also corrected many bugs reported by the PBEM community. The balance mod's team would thus like to really thank Triumph and give them a big cheer for listening the community and giving it tools to improve the game! Changelog v1.17 Bug fixes â€“ Tigran RG 1 Economic â€“ settlers gain 15% discount (was 20% in v1.1). - Brew Brotherâ€™s Nourishing Meal reset Throw Chickenâ€™s countdown for Halfling Farmers and give Bolster to its target (was not working in previous versions).

Exhausted units cannot receive extra movement from Death March any more. - Death March causes units getting extra movement to get Cannot Regenerate and Cannot Heal (they cannot be targeted by Healing, Bestow Iron Heart, Guardian Flame, Nourishing Meal, and they cannot use Slip Away) until the end of the strategic turn This article is dedicated to cbower, who stopped playing AoW3 recently but contributed significantly both to the balance effort, and to helping other players improve through videos, Academy games for new players, and all the advice he gave. <a id="$1" name="$1"></a> <div class="fb-like" data-href="%2Findex.php%3Fpage%3Dcommnews%26amp%3Beingabenewsid%3D805" data-layout="standard" data-action="like" data-colorscheme="dark" data-size="small" data-show-faces="true" data-share="true"></div> <a href="https://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-url="https://www.my-league.com" data-count="horizontal" data-via="myleague" >Tweet</a> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" ></script> <h2>Links zum Thema</h2><a href="http://aow.triumph.net/forums/topic/pbem-balance-mod/">Forum</a> | <a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3161153/PBEM-balance-mod/20160907_v1-17-beta/UGC_BALANCE_MOD_FROM_VASYAN666%20-%20PBEM%20-%20BETA%201.17%20%5B76561198009345019%5D.taf">Download</a> | <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=758212846">Mehr...</a><hr><a href="index.php?page=commnews&eingabenewsid=804"><h3>Round 1 of the PBEM 2 vs 2 team tournament has started!</h3> 16 teams and 32 players will fight for several months to win the first PBEM team tournament organised on the Battlefield.com!

This is a double elimination tournament so the losers of this first round will drop in the loser bracket and will have a second chance to stay in the tournament by fighting each other. The tournament uses v1.16 of the <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=661597466" target="_blank">PBEM balance mod</a>Â which solves most of the official release's balance issues (see the different articles about the balance mod for more details, especially the latest one: <a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=commnews&eingabenewsid=42" target="_blank">PBEM balance mod v1.16 released</a>) and allow a good PBEM experience for competitive level matches (but is also strongly recommended for casual players, including single players). A poll was run to ask to players from the <a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3" target="_blank">Battlefield.com</a> who they thought would be in the top 3 of the tournament. <img style="max-width:95%" src="http://www.my-league.com/games/273/downloads/newsimages/47398/273/4320160810_tournament-started.png" /> Results of the poll (also viewable <a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=bf_poll&pollnumber=9" target="_blank">here</a>) The favourite is thus B&I - Hiliadan & cbower, part of the team A Song of Blight and Ice (<a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=teamdetails&eingabeteamid=10" target="_blank">B&I</a>) which also includes Ezekiel (Eskild) and AlXStormrage, who fight under the banner Bastard of the North in the tournament. Coup de GrÃ¢ce, gabthegab and Tussel, and King Serpents, marcuspers and Evgendil (their <a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=teamdetails&eingabeteamid=15" target="_blank">full team</a> also includes Jean_de_Metz who fights for The green elephant and Jonny Thunder who fights for rrrrookie & jonny thunder) are also favourites. Unfortunately for these three teams, they will fight each other in the first two rounds of the tournament! <img style="max-width:95%" src="http://www.my-league.com/games/273/downloads/newsimages/47398/273/4320160810_tournament-team_roster.png" /> Tournament's roster - Coup de GrÃ¢ce faces King Serpents on round 1 and the winner is likely to face B&I on round 2 (or the loser if B&I loses) What may explain the position of favourites of these teams? Their ranking and previous results probably. <ul> <li>B&I - Hiliadan & cbower:</li> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=profil&playerid=47398" target="_blank">Hiliadan</a>: 3rd highest ranked player, he has one of the lowest win ratio (60%) of all of the 6 players but he lost mainly against gabthegab (twice in large FFA) and cbower (three times, including in the previous Duel Tournament) as well as twice against Lightform - playing Necromancer before it was nerfed - in the previous Duel Tournament</li> <li><a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=profil&playerid=47360" target="_blank">cbower</a>: 2nd highest ranked player for a very long time, he played 28 matches and still has an excellent win ratio (77%), his only nemesis is gabthegab, whom he never beat. </li> <li>B&I has two very strong and experienced players but may struggle against gabthegab</li> </ul> <li>King Serpents:</li> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=profil&playerid=47585" target="_blank">marcuspers</a>: 9 matches and only 1 defeat. With less matches played, less is known about marcus except that he and Evgendil know each other very well and are very used to play together.</li> <li><a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=profil&playerid=47588" target="_blank">Evgendil</a>: 10 matches and 2 defeats only, including one against Hiliadan & cbower. A very strong player, Evgendil does not hide his love for Archdruid (and especially Elf Archdruid). His performance with other classes will be watched closely!</li> <li>King Serpents relies on two players with exceptional win ratio but who almost never faced the other favourites (no match against gabthegab and 1 defeat against Hiliadan+cbower for Evgendil+Jean_de_Metz but marcuspers was not involved). The match up against the 2 other teams is thus more uncertain.</li> </ul> <li>Coup de GrÃ¢ce:</li> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=profil&playerid=47436" target="_blank">gabthegab</a>: the uncontested king of PBEM. 24 matches, 24 victories. 1 tournament (SeeR's PBEM tournament) won and currently in a very good position to win another one (2015 PBEM Duel tournament). Humiliatingly crushed cbower in 3 turns in their last tournament game, gabthegab is the single player to beat.</li> <li><a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=profil&playerid=47545" target="_blank">Tussel</a>: less well known than gab, he will have to demonstrate that he can play efficiently with him. Currently ranked 9th, Tussel plays both PBEM and live MP and fared relatively well in the live MP tournament organized on the Battlefield.com.</li> <li>Coup de GrÃ¢ce gathers two strong players but the gap in skills between the team mates may be wider than in the other two teams.</li> </ul> </ul> <img style="max-width:95%" src="http://www.my-league.com/games/273/downloads/newsimages/47398/273/4320160810_tournament-team_favorites.png" /> <a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=ranking" target="_blank">Current ranking</a> of the favourites You can check videos from the previous PBEM tournament (a 1vs1 tournament) through the related piece of news: <a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=commnews&eingabenewsid=41" target="_blank">Videos of PBEM: competitive play and previous duel tournament</a> <div class="fb-like" data-href="%2Findex.php%3Fpage%3Dcommnews%26amp%3Beingabenewsid%3D804" data-layout="standard" data-action="like" data-colorscheme="dark" data-size="small" data-show-faces="true" data-share="true"></div> <a href="https://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-url="https://www.my-league.com" data-count="horizontal" data-via="myleague" >Tweet</a> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" ></script> <h2>Links zum Thema</h2><a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=tourneyroster&tourneyid=5">Turney</a><hr><a href="index.php?page=commnews&eingabenewsid=803"><h3>PBEM balance mod v1.16 released</h3> Following tests and debates on balance, v1.16 closes the door to some remaining exploits for Necro and Theo and fixes a few issues with v1.1.

(was Inflict Despair, strength 10, causes "Despair": 20% Spirit weakness, -200 morale and stackable) - Energy Drain has a spirit strength 10 chance of draining 20 of the targetâ€™s MP and is non-stackable (was 50% and stackable) - Ghouling Strike does not work on Machines, Undead, Dragons, Elementals, Incorporeals, Ghouls, Leaders and the (Pure Good T4) Archangel now. - Ghouling Strike and Inflict Ghoul Curse (from Deathbringers) do not work on units with Mind Control Immunity any more - Immune to Ghoul Curse cannot be dispelled any more Theocrat - Slayerâ€™s Doubt last 3 turns (was until the end of battle) Frostling - Each time Ice Queen uses Last Rite Of Winter, it loses 48 HP (was: sacrifice Ice Queen) <img style="max-width:95%" src="http://www.my-league.com/games/273/downloads/newsimages/47398/273/4220160714_v1-16_Tigran-RG1-eco-15percent.png" /> One example of a change brought by v1.16 - a bug fix for Tigran economic RG1: Tigran economic RG1 was supposed to give a 15% discount on settlers since v1.1 but it gave 20%, it is now corrected Please note that many descriptions are currently incomplete or lacking. The texts will be added in the coming days, through the release of v1.17. The next planned release is v1.18 which is planned in about 2 months, to be ready about 1 month before the start of round 2 of the PBEM 2vs2 team tournament. It will aim to address the most pressing issues regarding: <ul> <li>The evolve mechanism of Serpents and Spiders;</li> <li>Arcane Forge's ability to build mind control items (especially items with Dominate; see <a href="http://aow.triumph.net/forums/topic/balancing-strong-abilities-in-the-arcane-item-forge/" target="_blank">the forum discussion addressing this issue</a>);</li> <li>Other critical balance issues that could affect the tournament, such as Warlord's Death March.</li> </ul> <img style="max-width:95%" src="http://www.my-league.com/games/273/downloads/newsimages/47398/273/4220160714_v1-16_dominate-wiki.png" /> Why Dominate needs to be removed from the Arcane Item Forge: Dominate has a cooldown, which means it can be used several times per fight and can thus be abused (picture from AoW 3's Wikia's <a href="http://age-of-wonders-3.wikia.com/wiki/Arcane_Item_Forge" target="_blank">page on the Arcane Item Forge</a>) Then, v1.2 will be a new milestone in AoW3's balance and should contain more changes to the game and is aimed for this Winter: <ul> <li>Balancing specialisations to make all of them equally attractive (<a href="http://aow.triumph.net/forums/topic/balancing-strong-abilities-in-the-arcane-item-forge/" target="_blank">forum discussion</a>);</li> <li>Fixing the possible exploit of huge armies with no income (<a href="http://aow.triumph.net/forums/topic/fixing-the-no-city-economy/" target="_blank">forum discussion</a>);</li> <li>Further balancing Archdruid and especially Tigran Archdruid as well as the pounce issue.</li> </ul> Experienced players are strongly encouraged to take part in <a href="http://aow.triumph.net/forums/topic/balance-based-on-hard-data-from-the-pbem-tournament-continued/" target="_blank">balance discussion in the official forum</a>. <div class="fb-like" data-href="%2Findex.php%3Fpage%3Dcommnews%26amp%3Beingabenewsid%3D803" data-layout="standard" data-action="like" data-colorscheme="dark" data-size="small" data-show-faces="true" data-share="true"></div> <a href="https://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-url="https://www.my-league.com" data-count="horizontal" data-via="myleague" >Tweet</a> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" ></script> <h2>Links zum Thema</h2><a href="http://aow.triumph.net/forums/topic/pbem-balance-mod/">Forum</a> | <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/av1kn381w2i7w87/AACJtjKNS-vJpSj9ZBoXoenfa?dl=0">Download</a> | <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=661597466">Mehr...</a><hr><a href="index.php?page=commnews&eingabenewsid=802"><h3>Videos of PBEM: competitive play and previous duel tournament </h3> cbower, marcuspers and Hiliadan recorded parts of their recent games from the 2015 Duel tournament (still ongoing) and competitive games on the Battlefield website, you can watch them on Youtube! Other players are strongly encouraged to record videos too!</a> 2016-07-02 13:14:20| Geschrieben von <a href="index.php?page=sendemail&sendto=2" >Hiliadan</a>Some of the best PBEM players of AoW3 have recorded videos of recent matches to share them the community and provide insights on both tactical combat techniques and strategies on the world map. Let's introduce the authors of the videos first! cbower (<a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=comminfo&playerid=47360" target="_blank">profile</a>) is the 2nd highest ranked player and has been so for a very long time (he faced twice gabthegab in the PBEM Duel tournament but lost each time, and never managed to beat him outside the tournament), he is also an old live MP player. HiliadanÂ <a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=teamdetails&eingabeteamid=10" target="_blank"></a>(myself, <a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=comminfo&playerid=47398" target="_blank">profile</a>) is currently the 4th highest ranked player and though he has stayed in the top 10 for a long time, his ranking was less stable than cbower in recent months! As cbower, he is part of the <a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=teamdetails&eingabeteamid=10" target="_blank">A Song of Blight and Ice</a> Â or B&I team. marcuspers (<a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=comminfo&playerid=47585" target="_blank">profile</a>) joined the Battlefield more recently and climbed the ranking very quickly with his team mate Evgendil, they both have a crazy win ratio higher than 90% and are known to be very good Archdruid players (especially as Elves). <img style="max-width:95%" src="http://www.my-league.com/games/273/downloads/newsimages/47398/273/4120160702_video_ranking.png" /> <a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=ranking" target="_blank">Ranking</a> of the 3 authors on the Battlefield, based on the results of the matches they played Three videos come from the (still ongoing) 2015 PBEM Duel Tournament, more precisely from the matches framed in green below. <img style="max-width:95%" src="http://www.my-league.com/games/273/downloads/newsimages/47398/273/4120160702_video_roster-tournament.png" /> <ul> <li>Round 5 of the tournament - Hiliadan vs Eskild (who changed his name to <a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=comminfo&playerid=47386" target="_blank">Ezekiel</a> later) - Necromancer Draconian mirror match</li> </ul> This match lasted 11 turns and was a wake-up call to convince people who still did not believe Necro was overpowered in the official version. It thus contributed to the update of the community PBEM balance mod and to the release of its version 1.1 (described in <a href="http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=commnews&eingabenewsid=37" target="_blank">this article</a>). A playlist contains the matches' 7 episodes, each episode is about 3 to 22 minutes long and show 1 or 4 turns. All episodes are commented. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLVegwVpl7gLENQGy5fjGryvor43W_GA3j[/youtubelist] For those interested to see a demonstration of the strength of Necro, the watching of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ex0xiHzxgJw&index=5&list=PLVegwVpl7gLENQGy5fjGryvor43W_GA3j" target="_blank">episode #5</a> is strongly recommended where Hiliadan (more than?) doubles the size of his army and just exterminate Eskild who has no way to fight back. <ul> <li>Round 6 of the tournament - Hiliadan (Goblin Theocrat) vs cbower (Dwarf Rogue)</li> </ul> This match also lasted 11 turns and ends up in the defeat of Hiliadan, who made a big mistake in a fight in a Shrine around turn 7 and lost his leader, and was eventually killed by the superior armies of cbower. A similar playlist of 6 episodes commented by Hiliadan illustrate this short match: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLVegwVpl7gLHrpg_45dW0KBT9zEKLmgvz[/youtubelist] <ul> <li>Round 8 â€“ final between cbower and gabthegab - Dwarf Necromancer mirror match</li> </ul> Again, this match illustrates the issue that plagued the latest matches of the tournament: the dominance of Necromancer. Both top players chose Necromancer and both chose Dwarf, a very strong race providing strong starting units (the rest of the units being Ghouled or converted on the way to the enemy). This was probably the 4th or 5th match between the #1 and #2 players and the result was the same as always: a victory from gabthegab. This time, the victory was especially quick and violent, the game ending on turn 3 by an ultra rush of gab on the units of cbower, not ready for such a fast encounter. cbower unfortunately did not edit the videos so they are relatively long, but the advantage is that viewers can see all the decisions taken and exactly how the tactical fights are played. <iframe style="max-width:95%;width:450px;height:300px;" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/PzHbjPovaQ0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

marcuspers did not participate in the Duel Tournament (but is participating in the PBEM 2 vs 2 Team Tournament, see below) so his videos are related to other games he played and reported on the Battlefield website.
Marcus is recording several of his games and commenting them while he plays. He seems to play his turns faster than cbower () so videos are about 10 to 30 minutes and each one display one turn. He played several team games with Evgedil and it surely brings another level of strategy to watch his videos and understand good and bad practice in team games!
