The Early Game
Here is a little Key to help
everyone in my report.
Jaood will be refered to as Jaood
The_Flying_Cow will be refered to as Cow
SnowSquall will be refered to as Snow
Excelsior will be refered to as Excel
This report is long and it has alot of pictures, so if your on a slow connection, it might take a while...
Excel is the first one to creep. He takes 3 Footmen and his Archmage
and goes out to the 12's "easy creeps"(2 Gnoll Archers and a Gnoll Brute). Jaood takes his Blademaster
and begins creeping his "easy creeps" as well, using his Mirror Image to soak up the damage.Excel sends
down another footman and heads tword the top left Troll creeps, as Jaood sends his damaged Mirror Image to scout the 12' and brings down a Grunt to his Blademaster.
(Just to let you know there are 4 players so I will be saying "at the same time" "meanwhile" "during that" ect alot). Excel kills the Mirror Image as they run into each other at the Troll Creeps.
Moments later Snow sends down 4 Ghouls and his Dreadlord to his "easy creeps."Excel sends his
now 5 footmen to the Troll Creeps on the top left of the Temple leveling to 2 and getting a Tome of Strength and a Cloak of Shadows, taking his remaing 3 Footmen and Archmage to heal at the fountain. Jaood goes back to his base, then takes 3 Grunts and his Blademaster to creep his nat leveling to 2 and
getting a scroll of healing and gauntlets of ogre str.
Snow creeps the top left with 5 Ghouls getting claws of attack+6 and a manual of health as well as level 2. Cow plows through his "easy creeps" with 6 Ghouls, then spotting Excel moving down to creep the bottom right, he moves over and begins creeping the bottom left.
Snow and Excel head for the bottom left as Cow finishes the creeps off. Being outnumbered 2 armies to 1 Cow retreates to his main. Excel and Snow take out the middle creeps at the temple. Jaood creeps his Goblin Merchant with
5 Grunts (losing 2). After replacing them he heads out to the middle to see if anything remains. After searching the top and bottom left he heads to the middle and runs into Snow's forces who are healing at the fountain.
A battle ensues. Jaood decides to attack Snow who is sitting at the healing fountain. Due to the fact that all of Snow's troops
are getting healed and only 1 or 2 of Jaood's are,as well as the fact that Jaood is outnumbered, he decides to retreat and save his Grunts for another day.
After the Orcish Retreat Cow takes ~10 ghouls and his hero and begins creeping his nat, and Excel takes 9 Footmen and his Hero and creeps his Goblin Lab.
There's a lull in the action...

Back to the Action!
Jaood takes his army of ~7 grunts and begins moving them up to the Goblin Lab, not knowing that Excel has just creeped it.
As thier armies meet, Excel spreads his forces out into a battle line, while Jaood tries more to focus hitting on individual footmen.
Each player uses a red drake egg, since they are using almost pure ground forces, unfortunatley for Excel his battle-line tactics didn't work and some people would consider 7 Grunts vs 1 Footman unfair.. On the other hand his Drake wins out over Jaood's and begins harrasing Jaood's ground only forces as purple comes in from the other side and tries to trap Jaood's forces.
While being engaged by Snow's army and the Drake, the Orcish forces are forced to town portal back to Jaood's main. And Cow takes his force of Ghouls and his hero to go clean up his Goblin Lab, while Excel creeps his nat. Jaood goes out to his Goblin Merchant to stock up on potions ect, as Snow heads down thier to creep, or buy potions as well.
Although Jaood defeated Snow's small army, Excel comes in from behind with his Drake and his hero as well as a few Sorceresses and Footmen. Jaood retreats back to his main and kills the drake with a 1 "orced" burrow.
Meanwhile Excel sends his small contingent to Cow's nat and exterminates the lone acolyte who was about to expand there, Snow goes to the Goblin Merc that he just fought at to buy some mana potions for his Lich.
Jaood comes out of his main again right as both opposing armies are heading back twords the 12'. Snow frost novas 2 grunts as they try and run back into Jaood's main, Excel and Snow charge up the ramp into Jaood's main.
Snow has his two heros(Lvl 3 Dreadlord, and almost lvl 2 lich) and Excel has 3 Footmen, 2 Sorcs, and 2 Priests. As they charge up the ramp into Jaood's main, Cow Tps in with 10 ghouls, his lvl 3 Dreadlord, and a new lvl 1 Deathknight,
Jaood has 3 Grunts, a Shaman, and a half health lvl 5 Blademaster. As the battle begins Excel slaps down an expansion at his nat ( a very wise tactic).
No one really micros, they just sort of beat the crap out of each other. When the dust settles all of Excel's troops have died, as well as Cow's entire force. The only people that remain are everyone's heros, and Jaood's troops. The attacking force decides to retreat back to their mains.
Cow sends his heros to the fountain of health to heal, while sending up the army that he has been mustering in his base as well (4 Abominations(2/0) and 3 Necromancers(Initiate)). Jaood
sends his hero down to the goblin merc to buy a scroll of healing and a wand of negation, he has 4 Grunts(2/1) and 3 Shamans(Initiate).
Excel finishes his expansion as he is gathering troops in his main, he has 5 Sorcs(Adept) and 2 Footmen(2/0). Snow takes his group of 4 Ghouls(2/2) and 3 Necromancers(Master) as well as his Heros to go and creep his nat. While this is going on, Jaood and Cow send all their forces to the entrance to Excel's Nat. The lone tower guarding Excel's nat is not enough to detur the undead scourge.
As the tower falls, Snow uses a town portal to try and save his allies expansion, Jaood also comes from behind Cow's troops to back him up. Excel charges down from his main and hits the enemy from the side. With the extensive use of polymorph Excel turns ~5 of the enemy units into sheepies.
Luckily for Jaood he stocked up on wands of negation and manages to unpolymorph his units as well as dispel many enemy skeletons. Snow's forces are destoryed and the attackers turn twords Excel's forces which are on the ramp into his main. ( During this attack every player, with the exception of Excel, began an expansion at thier nats.) Excel , knowing that he is outnumbered and outgunned, runs back into his base.
His expansion is razzed.

Back to the Action! Cow and Jaood send thier troops down to Snow's natural, at the same time that Excel sends his
forces to check on Jaood 's expansion.As Jaood and Cow move thier troops into Snow's forming natural, upon thier arrival they are greeted by
four acolytes who are waiting for the expansion to finish, unfortunatley Jaood is forced to retreat to his expansion because Excel's army just moved in
and began attacking, he promtply cancels his building Great Hall and Watch Tower. Excel seeking revenge for his lost expansion chases the peons throught the woods and cuts them down.
Since Jaood had to run back to his main and defend from Excel's attack, Cow with hatred in his heart and a sword in his hand, charged into Snow's natural ready for revenge of the peon murder.
Cow hacked down the acolytes building Snow's expansion with more feroicy than a rabid monkey that has been beaten with a stick (a lot). As Jaood sends his forces over to his natural, he runs into Snow's unfortunate Lich and 2 ghouls. Being vastly outnumbered the lich is overwhelmed, fortunatley for Snow he runs his lich back to his main with about 40 health, and Jaood doesn't persue.
Going back to Jaood's main... Excel slams into the north side of the main with his army of 2 Knights(2/0), 1 Priest(Adept) and ~6 Sorcs(Master), as well as his hero. Cow, being the only one with a TP, TPs to defend against the attack as the orcish forces rush back to thier base.
Jaood has 3 Grunts (2/1) and 4 Shaman (Initiate) as well as his Bladmaster (LVL 6!!!), Cow has 5 Abominations (2/0) and 2 Necros(Iniate), as well as his hero. Jaood loads up 2 burrows with 4 orcs each(making that 8) to help fend off the attack. As Jaood approaches his main, Excel pulls his remaining troops out (His archmage and 4 Sorcs) to prevent further losses.
Excel loops around throught the orcish natural and comes back to Jaood's main as Jaood and Cow regroup infront of Jaood's base.
As the armies clash momentarily (no deaths) Excel decides to retreat once again. Snow sends ~6 (2/2) Ghouls
and his two heros (His Dreadlord is level 4 by the way) to the right of the exit to Cow's main, as Jaood masses his troops in front of his main, and Cow sends his troops to the fountain of healing for some needed regeneration.
Snow having been spotted by a lone abomination on his way to the healing fountain sends his troops to Cow's natural, Cow realizing an attack is immenant, sends his army in from behind Snow's.
Snow's heros are enganged by Cow's army as his ghouls pound on the lone Spirit Tower guarding Cow's expansion,while Jaood's forces come in from his main, in what I would like to call, the "Pincer" movement, Snow's ~7 ghouls and 2 Heros are trapped between Cow's base and both oppposing armies.
Snow realizing what a bad idea his attack was, runs up into Cow's main to try and escape.
Both of Snow's heros are stomped but he manages to escape with 6 badly wounded ghouls, and he puts them on the healing fountain.
During this fight, Snow has managed to secure his natural, and slaps down 3 Ziggurauts for static defense. With a brilliant counter-attack, Excel sends his army of casters into Jaood's main while the opposing armies are gone.
Excel manages to take out 2 burrows and damage a barracks before Jaood even arrives. When he gets to his main Jaood charges his blademaster into the midst of the opposing casters and whirlwinds.
Having lost about half his force, Excel takes his remaining troops and runs them down into Jaood's natural (NOTE: During this attack Excel began an expansion at his natural) and then, as they pass Snow's ghouls (who are going the other way???) he runs them back into his main. Meanwhile Cow
sends his forces over twords Excel's main. Snow upon seeing the orcish horde, runs his ghouls right along with Excel's troops.
Cow with 7 Abominations (2/1) 3 Necros (Initiate) along with his level 5 Dreadlord and 4 Deathknight, begins a charge into Snow's natural. The only oposition he meets on face are 2 Spirit Towers (and a 3rd which is morphing), but Snow sends down 2 Abominations (3/2) from his base and sends his ghouls over from Excel's main, and Excel sends his army as well.
After mashing all the Spirit Towers,Cow turns twords the two opposing armies (both of which are weakened) and hopes to defeat them.
Snow's army is all but stomped but Excel manages to fend of the attack with a healthy use of polymorph and slow. Cow retreats with his LVL 5 Dreadlord, 1 Necromancer(Adept)
4 Abominations(3/1) and 1 Sheep (Polymorphed Abomination).
Jaood's army was on its way to the expansion to back up his ally, but when Cow retreats he keeps sendings his forces twords the expansion, when he reaches the entrace he has a small skirmish with Snow's Lich and an abomination, the Abomination is quickly stomped, the Lich drops a frost nova on the blademaster and then retreats.
Excel takes his force of ~4 (Master) Sorcs, ~4 (Adept) Priests 2 (2/0) footmen and his archmage to go and creep the goblin labratory between his and Snow's base, leveling his hero to LVL 6, before he is forced to teleport out.
At the same time Jaood sends his army of His LVL 6 (Almost 7) Hero, 4 (2/1) Grunts and 4 (Initiate) Shaman to Snow's natural, as Cow regroups his army of 7 (3/1) Abominations 2 (Adept) Necromancers and his LVL 5 Dreadlord just outside of Snow's natural, Excel seeing the attack mass teleports his army to the expansion.
Due to Snow's lack on an army (save his lich), Excel is forced to defend against 2 attackers.
Snow, as his Dreadlord pops out, sends both his heros down to help with the fight. The superior numbers of Cow and Jaood
begin to win out over the defending forces, Cow's Deathknight gets to level 6 and he slaps down an infernal right next to Excel's hero. Excel seeing that his forces have been decimated mass teleports his hero back to base, leaving the expansion for dead.
Jaood and Cow chase down Snow's heros as they try to run into his main and escape. They kill the Dreadlord but the Lich manages to escape.
Jaood has 2 (2/1)Grunts and his Hero (LVL 7), Cow still has the remainder of his forces. The charge into the south side of Snow's main and being attacking everything in sight.(NOTE: The Haunted Gold Mine was never actually killed.)
Excel sends his archmage, a priest and ~2 (2/0) footmen into Jaood's just forming expansion, killing the lone Watch Tower before it is even completeted and going to work on the town hall.
Jaood immediatly sets out from Snow's main and runs to his expansion, and Cow goes out through Snow's natural and heads for Jaood's base as well.
Excel manages to take down the expansion and retreat to his base before either opposing army reaches the natural. Cow sends his force to the middle and begins to heal them at the healing fountain.

Back to the Action!
Cow, after healing his troops ( ~8 (3/2) Abominations 2 (Adept)Necromancers and both of his heros) sends them up to the Goblin Labratory
plowing throught the remaining creeps (that Excel had to abandon) and picking up an ankh of ressurection, he proceeds to the top left corner expansion.
Once reaching it however, he turns around and heads back twords his expansion ( will explain in a moment).
At this point Jaood sends his LVL 7 Blademaster to the healing fountain, and has a little run-in with Snow's Lich and a ghoul. They engange each other momentarily and then run off in opposite directions.
Excel managed to sneak an invisible priest into Cow's expansion and has mass teleported his force in.
It consists of roughly ~6 (2/1) Footmen 3 (Master) Priests and 3 (Master) Sorces.
Cow turns his forces abruptly around and sends them into Excel's expansion as Jaood sends his lone hero over to help with the defense of Cow's expansion.
Excel takes out one of the two Spirit Towers guarding the expansion and Cow sends ~7 acolytes to help repair his remaining one.
Jaood even though his base and his army has been crippled beyond repair (litterally) manages to scare off Excel's attacking force, because he Mass Teleports his army over to his expansion to stop Cow from razzing it,
Excel turns his peasants into militia and micros his units with all his might. Snow sends in his Lich and Excel Sends down a knight, some footmen and 2 sorces from his main.
Excel, summoning Water elleys and dumping blizzards like mad, manages to repell the attack and kills Cow's force of abominations.
The abominations, being slowed, and some polymorphed, are eventually overwhelemed, but Jaood sends his hero in to try and turn the tide of the battle.
Unfortunatley he was too late as Snow sends up his Dreadlord and an abomination to help finish off the attacking force.
Jaood's Blademaster is quickly disposed of (Leveling Snow's Lich to LVL 6) and the only remaining enemy (Cow's Dreadlord) is forced to retreat, but is cut down as he runs out of the expansion.
Snow's 2 Heros and A lone Abomination meet up with a straggler priest and sorceress from Excel's army and begin an attack on Cow's expansion at his natural.
By dropping a death and decay on the Haunted Gold Mine Snow is able to take out the lone Spirit Tower guarding the expansion. Cow knowning that he must defend his expansion (as he has about 280 gold) sends down 2 (3/3) ghouls and 2 (3/3) abominations from his main.
Snow is able to take out the only remaining defenders, and goes to work on the expansion. Cow and Jaood both not having enough money to expand and being expansionless, concede the game.
