Cool late game fight! I do love how summer Fairy Queens have very low morale as an interesting in game puzzle to solve. it seems like the typical answer taken is to put them to sleep for the whole fight after putting up Legions Demise to prevent routs, but it can be hard with Relief up to do that.
Ur probably didn't need relief much for the fight either with fire res keeping heat from hell as a non-issue. Yeah the queen might have done a lot more damage if it had been able to stick around longer than 7 rounds. A lot was not know or expected on both sides, so it's hard to plan for every eventuality!
Very cool fight! Thanks for sharing. I cant help but wonder about Ur's tactics though. They could have cast growing fury and I think that would have made a big deal. Maybe they were going to but lost the N caster to pillar of fire. Not having backup casters and forward positioned evocation bait hurt Ur a lot. The biggest question I have is why were the anzu set to fly? Their breath attacks are their strength, not their melee. I would have had a line of mechanical men meet the ghuls, with a line of anzu behind them firing cold breath. I guess armchair generals will always have shit to talk 😂
I guess that the Ur player hoped that the anzu would hit and disrupt/kill Ubar's mages. Also, had Ur gotten Army regen off, those anzu would have lasted a lot longer, possibly long enough to win the fight. It was a close battle that Ur could easily have won with a bit more luck.
I definitely have to try not to armchair it myself too. There were a few telegraphed things on both sides, like Ur's big blob of Anzus and Ubar's (my) hordes of ghuls. I think the latter was in some part why Ur went with Legion's demise, which was smart. My choice of Army of Lead was due to having Adepts of the Iron Order from a throne, and I had gotten to artifacts first. But the Ur player didn't get a chance to see my full composition before this battle because of magic phase, and I did not see theirs either, so we ultimately had to go with best guesses. That round 1 snipe of his army regen caster was unplannable as well 😂 I think like Kris says it was pretty close for sure
There's some things I could have done differently for sure. But yeah, I didn't know what exactly I was going to be facing there, it was our first big fight and I hadn't seen the army in action yet. Fun fight and fun game overall though, for sure.
With legion's demise being weakened, I'd expect that would favor Ubar, but who knows how much impact pillar of fire sniping had in the displayed battle removing regen. It is very hard to beat wailing winds in sustained fights though, w/o growing fury or rigor blocking retreat etc. Unless you're down for making everything berserk really early in the fight, you have no choice but to try to win very fast against wailing winds. I think in Dom 6 you can also last with enough H2 spamming...unlike stacked fear auras, wailing winds won't spam the checks hard enough. I saw a fight where a horror harmonica golem got turn timer'd by MA Mari off of that.
Some things can be done, they are still hard to handle. Both sides brought fear in their own way, Ubar (me) with wailing winds and Ur with Mushushu, and they both had significant impacts. You just had to barrel through, and I think if Ur's Anzus had gotten a lucky snipe on the Banu Silat holding wailing winds it would have gone way differently. Luck was not on their side this fight, unfortunately
@@kirbyone Yes. Ur did have a lot of bad luck this fight. That snip on the Mass Regen caster was fight defining. I'm sure they would have lasted longer under wailing winds otherwise. Good show of the fight. Lots of great suggestions for players here so no need to share mine.

@@kirbyone Relief is big for breath weapon attacks like the Anzus, so probably still good to have scripted.
Cool video. Army Regen is also great on the anzus. You can press tab on the commander list to show load outs and affections, very helpful.
I'm gonna do that from now on, thanks for highlighting!
Wow, awesome battle! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome battle! Did all sultans have simulacrum?

Would love a part two with the replay post LD nerf
It's in the works, stay tuned!
@@kirbyone Looking forward to the compare, Kirbyone
Who wins on the new patch?
Sit tight, round 2 is a-comin
@@kirbyone nice

@@TheMelnTeam I've seen mages last a long time under Wailing Winds now as well. Seems possible to fight under which is nice.
I'm always disappointed by morale plays. Just not much one can do against it.
