CAPS 2017: zhavier ([Anarchy]/Strength/Growth) vs. Shadow-Night-Black ([Balance]/Growth/Finesse)

How many games can say they are winning against an active Molac?

For Observers

Also, if anyone sees lethal here that I missed, I will be sad. I could only see 11 damage to base :frowning: If I had 1 more goldā€¦

You can put out fires with gold right? The FFA ability to repair your base for gold exists in 3v3??? Please just take my gold and leave me alone for one turn!

Thoughts

Just hanging in on in there, hoping for a miracle. Obviously the turn it looks like I might be able to summon Midori, is the turn I get both Moments Peaceā€¦

You paid too much for these Tech 0 units, as you do have a Max Band River in play.

You were actually floating $9, which got gold capped at $20 on the next turn, so you are currently floating $13? (and about to cap out again)

Sweet, I have now had a serious game where I hit the gold cap (and probably still lost)!

Nah, I shall have Guargum attack, removing all resistance (River dies, Rook to lvl 3)
I shall then finish your base, GG!

Molac is actively working against shadow night black as he canā€™t get his moments peace off. Would have been with it to attack with River just to put damage on her, or trash the tech lab for a heroā€™s hall just to be able to lock out gunship!

That was a hell of a game to watch, guys. Thanks!

I coundlā€™t attack with River as then after the obilterate from the gunship I would have no patrollers, so he would kill me with his remaining heroā€™s/units. I also didnā€™t swap out for a heroā€™s hall, as after the first gunship came out, I need the balance tech lab to be able to kill it / block in the future, and I didnā€™t have the base health to swap back during the moments peace turn (as the second gunship would just kill me straight off then).

Yea I walked you right into a rough spot. If you could have avoided Midori dieing on P1T7 that might have been enough, but you had to be worried about another surprise attack, so I dunno.

Great game !

BTW if anyone reading this wants to tell me if I did anything wrong (I think ever turn has a thoughts page including why I did what I did and why I teched what I teched) or what they would have done instead, feel free! Iā€™m always looking for ways to improve :smiley:.
