Hades: 3v3 Myself as Hades, DBD_Wolfman(Kronos), and DBD_Mack(Odin) vs. Komansee(Oranos), Argonaut_bigred(Zeus) and TheOneIceman(Oranos) on Midgard

Some good teamwork on our part (after the first 10 min anyways) really gave us a good advantage and allowed us to come back from a point where things weren’t looking so good.

Hades: 2v2 Myself and Acid_Ayr_Hades(Poseidon) vs. WW_Asmodean(Zeus) and WW_Butcher(Kronos) on Tundra

Pretty silly choice of strats considering our civs. They would have been better off trying to double me instead as at least my destroyed buildings don’t give me free units.

Hades: 1v1 vs. Olympus_fantasy as Poseidon on Midgard

He goes for a much bigger water start than me and it really pays off. I get soundly whooped in this one that’s for sure.

Hades: 1v1 vs. aYa_ as Kronos on Medit

This guy complained over and over again after the match that the map was unfair in my favor, no gold near to him made it too easy for me. Well if you look at the map you’ll probably see his gold isn’t really any further than mine (the first gold mine that is), he just didn’t do a very good job of holding onto it.

Hades: 1v1 vs. Six_Feet_Under as Oranos on Highland

Pretty interesting game actually as he does some really good raiding and I do an awful lot of counter raiding, not many big army vs. army fights to be seen but still interesting.

Hades: 2v2 Myself and Acid_Ayr_Hades(Set) vs. eX_Insanity(Kronos) and hZ_Flank(Loki) on Oasis.

Flank was just allowed to boom for too much of this game giving him a basically unbeatable economy.

A pretty good game, he had a couple nice raids on me early on, but started to let up just a little bit too much.

Hades: 1v1 vs. eX_Insanity as Loki on Highland

I’m not entirely sure why he played this one so defensively early on, but it gave me plenty of chance to use my cyclops/army to take out his docks giving me a big edge.

Hades: 3v3 Myself, hZ_Flank(Set) and cubensis_PAoM(Oranos) vs. Slogo(Oranos), Love_with_Demi(Ra) and mT_bEiNtE(Isis) on Highland

A really good game I think, lots of action on my side of the map anyways. Again rather uneven teams (Triple Random League) on the surface but it turned out to be a pretty even match for the most part.

Hades: 3v3 Myself, KS_Machine(Poseidon) and KS_Perfection(Loki) vs. L_Clan_Dahl(Oranos) Someone(Zeus) and someone else(another civ) on Midgard

Weird but for some reason the stats on this one didn’t upload so I can’t check back to see who was playing just now. Anyways I go for the Hades FM and show that it can be very powerful, of course I could have added other troops into the mix but that wouldn’t be much fun now would it?

Hades: 3v3 Myself, KS_Perfection(Isis), and KS_General(Zeus) vs. DBD_Hoes(Isis), DBD_11th_(Poseidon) and Kasier_Norse(Thor) on Marsh

We go for the triple fast mythic, which is pretty silly but actually manages to work to some extent hehe. After that I decide to mass up a shade army so spend a good amount of resources sending un-upgraded hoplites into the enemy troops hehe. Man do those Hades UU’s ever take down a titan gate fast :).

Hades: 2v2 Myself and DBD_Jeebus(Hades) vs. DBD_Cuehara (Ra) and DBD_Hakubai (Oranos) on Midgard

They don’t fight for water very hard which gives me a big boom and puts jeebus in a bit of trouble as he goes no land at all. In the end though a great move with underworld passage gives cuehara a lot of trouble which allows me to take him off his central position with no opposition.

no comments ksjoseywales@shaw.ca

Hades: 1v1 vs. WarmTouch as Oranos on Marsh

A pretty good game, I think I would have been better off using auto-queue at a few points because I had a lot of guys queued up but no resources, as a result my upgrades came a bit later than they could have.

Hades: 1v1 vs. carcinoma as Kronos on Oasis

An all turma army is fine for raiding, but if you do a forward build then you’ll be in big trouble pretty quickly vs. a greek player

Hades: 3v3 Myself, MOX_4Glory(Loki) and eX_Dyna(Odin) vs. Vagabonds Zarge(Hades), Peter(Isis) and Scruff(Odin) on Ghost Lake

A whole lot of team-work going on in this one. A little bit of lucky positioning with the gold mines gives me a good advantage in this one. I kind of waste my earthquake GP but by then the game was basically decided anyways I think. GG.

I’m not entirely sure why Mor didn’t dock at all, anyways it’s a shame that Hades gets no MU/water heros as he I would have been in very good shape if I had something like the scylla out there for me.

Hades: 3v3 Myself, MorbidFang(Loki) and Mr_Farm(Hades) vs. KS_Gabriel(Zeus) KS_Zorgile(Odin) and KS_Fuzzy(Odin) on Oasis

I know a forward build on such a large map by a greek person is really risky, but I had to give it a try. It turns out that it paid off big time as I was able to hop around all 3 of the KS’s bases and do some serious raiding/doubling.

Hades: 3v3 Myself, II_Achilles_II(Hades), and II_yehidah_II(Isis) vs. Thor_Nightmares(Isis), II_Herbalizer_II(Odin) and II_Omnipotent_II(Thor) on Medit.

They really push in to Achilles base and have us on our heels for a while. If you watch this game you’ll see a good example of how not to fish by Achilles. His fishing is so far out it’s a waste of population. My general rule of thumb is if the fishing is more than half a screen away start deleting it once you have the ability to make more vils to farm instead.

Hmmmmm I get doubled a little bit in this one…. dunno what to do!!! Anyways this game is a good example of how saskatchewan people play games due to the fact that myself and 2 other players in this game happen to be from the tiny population of Saskatchewan :D.

Hades: 1v1 vs. LasT_MoRiDiN as Loki on Medit.

A real tight one, I didn’t expect him to be able to go so hard on land and still afford a decent amount on water. It didn’t help that all my res were set up on the same side of the map as his rush came from heh.

Hades: 1v1 vs. Valkyrie as Set on Medit

He used his plague of serpents in a rather poor place, so it only slowed my water assault down for a bit. I really have to learn to use underworld passage more to my advantage in early heroic.

Hades: 1v1 vs. KittyGuy as Poseidon on Savannah

Excellent if somewhat long game. We get stalemated for quite a while, but I get one step ahead of him at one point and it gives me enough momentum to carry through. Another example of Hades FH vs. Poseidon (if somewhat slow).

no comments ksjoseywales@shaw.ca

Hades: 1v1 vs. KittyGuy as Poseidon on Anatolia

Yet again map control plays a pretty big part on Anatolia. Hades awsome archers don’t hurt either.

no comments ksjoseywales@shaw.ca

Hades: 1v1 vs. eX_Wolf as Isis on Anatolia

I took things a bit too slack in this one early on in classical for some reason. Beyond that I think the thing that bugs me the most about this game is egypts overpowered siege. A pretty good game overall though I think.

Hades: 2v2 Myself and Rivero(Thor) vs. Goofy_(Hades) and MAD_Caesar(Isis) on Medit.

Hades: 2v2 Myself and Pocholo_es vs. CK_Eon and Losey

Really good game. I try out some whacky stuff at the start hoping to slow down his classical time by more than it slows my time down by. Unfortunately things go awry there as you will quickly see. But fear not I’m a tough son of a gun to kill off completely.

Our first of 3 games vs. each other. Why does it always seem like whatever civ I pick my opponent is the counter to that civ? Bleh! There is an entertaining vil war in this one, but it hurts me more than it hurts him due to the way I was playing.

How to beat the RFH in a few easy steps as Hades/Poseidon. On a side note This guy is one of the ruder people I’ve run into on ESO, he called me lame and a loser and such because I wouldn’t let him outside of the walled in area. I was just trying to finish the game, how hard is that to understand?

Hades: 1v1 vs. Troy_ as Set on Savannah

This game is a sure indication that the players in the top 25 definitely are not garunteed to be the best players out there. I mean this guy has 4 names in the top 25 (this not being one of them), and yet he plays like this? I made some major mistakes at points in this game, am unable to hunt for too long, and still I put up a decent fight. I wish they would put in some sort of different system for rated.

Hades: 1v1 vs. L_Clan_Sauron as Poseidon

This game frustrated me for a couple of reasons. First off lag or something caused my Pestilence not to go off on his barracks. At the time I wondered how he had so many cav so early even with my pestilence. I think that alone could have swung the game in my direction. Add to that my silly defending of that tc near his base and a serious lack of econ. upgrades and this game just spells sloppy play by me.
