Mystic Briton (Vikings), Mystic Mongol (Mongols), Mystic Son (Persians)

Vs

Mystic Byzantin (Byzantines), Mystics Chinese (Chinese), M_B_Wackey Bat (Goths)

This is a great fun game, one of the last classic Age of Kings games before the X pack came out properly.

Mystic Briton Feudal rushes his neighbour, but Mystics Chinese causes some trouble with knights while he is still in feudal age. Mongol takes over the middle and fights with Byzantin. Once Briton gets to Castle age he helps Mongol stand his ground in the centre as Chinese and Byzatin hit him hard.

After capturing wackey's town the great man begins to help himself to his enemies resources, but chinese is not going to let him, and tries hard to beat the great man back off of this island. This is a classic battle, but chinese is being attacked in his own town by Mystic Son and Mongol.

After gaining control of the middle, Son and Mongol combine to push back gradually Byzantin and Chinese after Wackey resigns. Briton gets Elite Cannon Galleons and forces Byzantin to resign after realising he's being hit from front and behind. Chinese stays in a while longer, but with elephants, light cav and champions in his town and cannon galleons destroying him from the sea, he realises its all over.

Mystic Saracen (Britons), Mystics Viking (Vikings) and Mystic Recruit2 (Britons)

Vs

Crakaz_Champion (Britons), Crakaz Fighter (Celts) and Crakaz Unknown (Vikings)

Entertaining Clan game which Mystics win, but not easily!

Mystic Vikings is beaten out of his town early by Crakaz Champion, but soon Mystic Recruit2 (ex-Twixxster) comes to the rescue and helps to kill Champion.

Meanwhile Saracen is standing his ground admirably against Unknown's Champions. Saracan calls for help, but nevertheless is never close to defeat.

Crakaz Champion disconnects, but at the time he only has one TC left and the game is vertually over. Unknown launches a nice attack on Saracen at the end involving no less than 10 Trebuchets and heaps of champions, but when this fails, he resigns and Mystics chalk up another nice win.

Mystic Briton (Vikings), Mystic Mongol (Franks) and Mystics Turk (Britons)

Vs

URep_Pingaman (Persians), URep_CBR_RO (Vikings) and URep_LARC_RC (Britons)

Nice Clan match, Mystics vs URep. These guys were no intermediates!

Mystic Mongol does a good job here standing his ground (usually we see the Mystic Briton doing this as he's tripled!), this time it was Mongols turn!

Blue gets a villy into Mongols town early on and Mongol doesnt see him build archery range and TC, consequently causing him some trouble at feudal age with archers and pikes. His neighbour Mystics Turk comes to the rescue helping him deal with the triple rush.

Pingaman gets 3 villagers into Mystic Britons town very early too, but luckily Briton sees them all and kills all but one - the one that gets away makes his way to Mongols town and builds a sneaky dock there with 1hp left! Then at castle age he builds a TC and Castle giving Mongol more trouble.

At this time Briton lands in Pingamans town and builds TC, Castle barracks etc, and goes imperial just before his Castle is finished. This early imperial causes a lot of trouble for Pingaman and he soon loses his town. Turk is hitting CBR at his base and slowing his assault on Mongol, when Briton gets to reds town, they all surrender and Mongol breathes a sign of relief!

Mystic Briton (Vikings), Mystic Hun (Britons) and Mystic Turk (Chinese)

Vs

Mystics Chinese (Britons), Mystics Frank (Britons), Mystics Saracen (Japanese) and Mystic Gato (Vikings)

Well if you want to see a battle with plenty going on, this is the one! With two leaders and a controller against four understudies this game was closer that you would expect.

There is a lot of fighting to hold the middle ground in between the two teams, indeed the great man gets beaten out of Saracens town and decides to give up his position in favour of holding the centre ground, which was more important strategically.

This game demonstrates how useful sea control can become on a water map.

Mystic Gato is playing her first game as honorary Mystic and holds up very well. Although she chose random Civ, the vikings complimented the other team civs quite admirably. If she had got teutons it may have been another story!

Mystic Briton (Vikings), Mysstic_Hun (Britons)Vs

Mystic_Teuton (Vikings), Mystic_Mongol (Britons)Vs

Mystic Saracen (Saracens), Devious Dragun (Britons) Vs

The Necromancer (Byzantines), Acurate Shot (Byzantines)

This is an enjoyable game to watch with many skilled players.

Acurate shot is taken out early by Mystic Mongol and Devious Dragon by Teuton, while the great man and Mysstic hun take out Saracen.

There is then a large battle between Mystic Briton and Mysstic Hun against Mystic Teuton and Mystic Mongol, but the great man and the great lady combine forces nicely showing the advantages of team bonus'

At one stage it looks like it may be stale mate, but then the great man decides to attack through Devious Dragons' ex-town - which is where Teuton and Mongol are mining resources, its also a short cut route. This catches the mystic controllers by surprise and causes a lot of damage, It is not long before the Mystic Briton has secured this area.

Unfortunately for Mystic Mongol, Necromancer is getting quite strong and so causes him some problems and meanwhile Teuton gets taken out by Hun and Briton. Hun finishes off necromancer with some help from Briton, while Briton tidies up Mongols town.

Mongol shows the reason why he has the medal of determination and take out Mystic Britons original town by landing with a transport unexpectedly. Unfortunately for him the great man is just too strong and with Necromancer gone Mongol has to face the wrath of the great mand and the great lady alone!

Mystic Teuton (Vikings), Mystic Vikings (Britons)

Vs

Mystic Mongol (Britons), Mystics Turk (Franks)

He's a chance to see the mighty Mongol and Teuton controllers in action!

Mongol attacks Teuton early, but he defends well, meanwhile Viking does a feudal rush on Turk without much success.

Eventually Teuton goes imperial just before Mongol and starts to smash his town with no fewer than 10 (Yes ten!) trebuchets. This beats Mongol back, but meanwhile Turk has wiped out viking and as soon as Teuton begins to attack Turk, he feels the might of about 50 champions!

Viking cannot come back from Turks onslaught, so Turk an Mongol together beat up Teuton who puts up a good fight in the circumstances.

Mystic Briton (Mongols), Mysstic Hun (Britons)

Vs

X2 Abercrombie (Celts), X2_structure (Britons)

This one is a good example to all those who say "Hey Briton what time is your castle age?" ... Well here the great man doesn't go to castle age until 31 minutes, but still manages a fairly easy win against the x2 Clan.

The great man does a feudal rush on X2 Structure which results in him not even getting to castle age. Mystic Briton literally towers all around his town. Meanwhile Mysstic Hun leaves it until 25 minutes before attacking X2 Abercrombie, but once she has a castle in his town he gives up fairly easily.

Another classic, this one is of the great man losing (at last). This is not the reason we show it, we show it because its a fun game with lots of fighting and we show how good teamwork and favourable map position can benefit.

Mystic team were in trouble from the very start, with the two leaders in the central positions and the two understudys at the edge (the front line). Watch how well Mystics Chinese holds his position, so well in fact that he was awarded promotion from Man at Arms and a medal of courage by the great man. the same can't be said for Mystics Goth who lost rank Man at Arms and was demoted to Militia after the game.

Mystics Goth has a bad starting position and builds shipyard in a small pond, as there is no fishing nearby. He also doesnt go hunting soon enough so runs out of food for training villagers. This slows his castle time to 20+ minutes. This proves crucial when he starts to build TC near Bat's resources. Bat has one up before him and sees the building early enough to stop it. Another TC later is built too far away from fishing to kill any fishing boats and theres no fletching upgrade either which means the boats have a higher range than Goths TC.

Well Briton goes over to help Chinese with Fenris, going imperial early and finishing off yellow with trebs and two-handed swordsmen. Unfortunately though, the other side of the map is not being held so well. Goth is weak and Hun has Tama and Bat to keep at bay. This is ok until Rautaman comes through with heaps of frank paladins.

These paladins cripple the Mystic Team, comeing through goths and huns town and into Mystic Britons town even though he's walled most of it off. This is where the game turned and soon Hun dropped leaving 3v3, but Rautaman was too strong, having 200 units against Goth and Britons mere 50 each.

In the end Chinese and Goth resign and Briton leaves the battlefield last like any great leader. The game was controlled by Blue (tama) walling off red and green so they didnt have their resources attacked by the Mystics, good teamwork!

Here's a great game for all you Mystic wanna-be Controllers out there, here you can see just what it takes to be a controller within the Mystic Team.

These guys fight like trojans and march forward into enemy territory with heads held high.

Mystic Frank impresses greatly with his scouting and fastest castle time (around 17 minutes), even though the bridge was walled off, he still manages to get a transport and train knights on enemy island attacking before 18 minutes!!

Mystic Byzantin being in the centre of the three, decides to go quick imperial age and this works well, as Mystic Frank is killing No dignity with everything imaginable Byzantin goes imperial and begins his assult on xxseigexx.

Mystic Goth is slow to attack (36 minutes), but when he does it is an awesome and unstoppable one, building behind xxgermanicusxx so he has nowhere to escape to. If you wanna know why these guys hold two-handed swordsman ranks, watch this game!

This is the game where a guy called Lingwhotsong trys out for the post of Mystic understudy, but plays so well that he is awarded the Mystic Goth Controller position directly after the game!!

This is a real close game all the way through, after an early drop from Ukslasher1 Mystic Briton hits Mystics Chinese (understudy) hard early on, but he withstands the tc push admirably. Sure he is beaten back, but the great man has trouble finishing him off with purely TC's, so he decides to upgrade to imperial age for a treb attack.

Meanwhile Mystic Goth (ling) has been hitting Mysstic Hun hard with crossbowmen and battering rams beating her back from her town. She was out of practice for this one after not playing for 2 weeks and so has to call for the great man to help her. This gives Mystics Chinese the chance to regroup and build up with nearly disasterous consequences!

Mystic Briton Hits the back of Mystic Goth's town with trebs and two-handed swordsmen, killing a lot of buildings and villagers. This forces Goth to quit hitting Mysstic Hun and come back to fight the Briton. Clearly the great man would have had trouble finishing this alone and showed great cunning and skill diverting Goth's attention so that Hun could regroup.

Goth hits Briton back hard forcing him to quit hitting chinese altogether, and as Mystics chinese hits back, the great man is forced to wall off his town to prevent further damage, so he can concentrate on Mystic Goth!

Well in the end, the great mans skirmishers prove too much for Goth's Elite Longbowmen and Goth (ling) resigns. Meanwhile Mystics Chinese is very strong and it takes a lot of work from both Briton and Hun to kill him off. Entertaining stuff!
