Far too much effort for zero payoff.
its a character in Doctor Who. actually a translation from english, to something else, back to english -

Gosh. This happy go lucky thread sure is full of good sportsmanship and fellow feeling. I donāt know why anyone would worry that it might devolve into mud-slinging and insults.

Though I am not familiar with either the show (well, not since Tom Baker, and even then not very) or the character in question, it was just a joke. Much like this thread.
Donāt they though? Itās somewhat tough to be good-natured in the continual internet presence of the thought police. I do greatly appreciate all who make the effort, though.
I wonder if it would have stayed happy go lucky if you hadnāt shown up? It probably would have been more happy go lucky for me, in any event.
Great! Of course thatās an ACTUAL victory in PvP, but at this point I welcome anything in the spirit of actual gaming. Ancient Horror is my best troop, pretty much, so Iām sad to see it lose, but since I donāt get offered matches with top-10 level players, I wonāt see that team for, oh, ever.
I will have to watch for dhjl to show up in chat to see if my ancient horror can beat his. I doubt it.
You donāt have to wait for chat, you can challenge him directly from the leaderboard.

Yes, thanks for thatāI actually tried it earlier, but I didnāt get the same team that he has set as defense, or else heās changed itāthere was no Ancient Horror when my team lost horribly.
I fought Gorgotha, Venoxia, Psion, and Crimson Bat. They crushed my dudes rather immediately. I suppose having almost all your traits on four mythics and (just guessing) having all your kingdoms to 10 is a significant boost! I made my dhjl, jr. team with all the same guys except for Venoxia, which I donāt have. I swapped in Boar Rider, the obvious choiceā¦
Of course Iāve only ever had one chat with anybody that was even remotely competitive, and that was with Hadoken, so dhjl was not for the gloryāstrictly for the humiliation.
Thatās because he never put Ancient Horror in his defense team. The one you saw was simply a summon from one of Gorgothaās traits, Daemonic Pact: 25% chance to summon an Ancient Horror on death.

Well that makes perfect sense. I was just looking at how many troops have that trait. I look forward to seeing them show up with greater regularity than the Abhorath from Sacrificial Priest, some day. Which seems unlikely, but two or three daemons with the pact should have a greater chance of getting one on death than the priestās 30%. The whole summon thing seems to work much better on defense than on offense, in my limited experienceā¦
