EDIT: These were not all my ideas, some were some werent
EDIT2: I will constantly be editing this list of your ideas (reworked to be more fair, or easier to read) and my ideas as they come to me.

I think with only the same X people logging on, some kind of referral program could help boost the # of people on HM.

It was Myself and Maerrick  vs  Saitaan and Shimobe

It started off with Shimobe making a huge risk first turn teleporting his wizard into my wizard and doing 4 hpo woth of damage. My turn his wizard died in return. Maerrick and I played defensivly as both Saitaan and Shimobe ran  Barb + Rogue and had us pinned in.

After a few turns of exchanging blows, all 4 heros were dead and I was eliminated. All maerrick had left was his bard and Paladin. While S&S had both barbs and rogues alive. Through Maerricks and My discussion in team chat, Maerricks bard + paladin were able to overcome the Outnumberedness and kill all 4 guardians with only losing the bard.

Overall close interesting match.

Guardianship-

As long as a guardian lives, the conrtoller of that guardians hero cannot die (HP can hit 0, but will not die until both his guardians are dead)

Any damage the hero takes while at 0 hp, is taken by the nearest guardian instead.

There, that is what it says when both players lose at once.

This was done in assassination mode with a Fireball finish doing 5 damage to both sorcs.

[TEAMS]

Starting new untill we get enough teams  I will be looking for team sign ups for some team tournament. SO grab a partner and put your names down on the list.

TEAMS
Joshua & diesbudt

Currently, the game seems to be who can kill the other hero first (i.e. Who can must ther strength and luck to all out attack a hero and kill them before your hero is attacked)

What I was wondering is what if we gave the Heros a HP/Def boost that they lose as they lose guardians (i.e. FM has 17 Def, and 8 HP: As a guardian dies he drops to 16 def and 7 hp, and than 15 def 6 hp once both are dead)

This way, it would put more stratedgy on which units to stike, and take some pressure off the heros. You can still go all out after them, but this way they have a more fighting chance until their defense (aka) guardians are dead. (Because honestly, If i am killing Heros on my 2nd/3rd/4th turn how good a job are the guardians doing?)

Just something interesting I thought up and share.

[1.]

First here are a few tips to remember

1. You can only sprint every other turn, and the amount you sprint is random (don't try to rely on sprinting). And you cannot attack and sprint!
2. You can however (unlike attacking) can use offensive, as well as defensive abilities and sprint the same turn.
3. Keeping your hero out of the line of fire or primary line of fire, while still doing damage will keep you alive longer, if they can kill your hero, and theirs is still strong; you have a huge uphill battle on your hands.
4. Don't rush out using everything you have, try to wait for your opponent to get closer before you spring everything.
5. And remember no matter how good someone is, luck determines the winner, I have seen people get all 16+s and I have personally have had a game or 2 where i couldn't roll higher than a 10
6. Remember, if you are stunned, and you do not have a paladin who can remove it with his "bless" ability, you can opt to attack your own character to wake them up (beware though, you might kill your own character in the process). This is esspecially good if you hero was stunned and your opponent is breathing down your neck in range to destroy him.

Ok, in a 1v1 situation
-The Fighter Mage is the preferable choice (Not saying the {summoner/sorc./Wiz.} wont win), its just that the FM can take a bigger punch than the others, cannot be stunned, and he can be a strong force (4 strength).
--- If you do use a different hero than the Fighter Mage, remember to keep them hidden and attacking from a distance with spells/abilities/summons. And you need to earn valor as soon as possible to unlock their abilities.

Good combination of guardians
Psionist + Strong unit
Bard + strong Unit
Rogue + defensive unit
**(Strong unit = Barbarian, Samurai, and Soul reaver; Defensive unit = Warrior, Paladin, Soul Reaver.)

-If you run a hero that isn't a fighter mage, the paladin could come in handy with stun removal and little heals that might be required in the fight.

Unneeded Combinations
If you run the Fighter Mage, you shouldn't run the Paladin too. (you can if you want to) But because the Paladin really shines when you have a hero that can be stunned (its best ability; the other ability 1 health for 1 card isnt great... its good but not great).

2v2 aka (teams)

-Key thing to remember, is that your beneficial spells work on your partners units just as they would on yours (buffs, heals and shield). So if your partner needs help give it to him.
-Press "t" to talk in team chat to stratagize
-The faster you and your partner can kill one of the other hero's, without losing yours. the better

Good Combinations for 2v2
*Look above at 1v1 but make sure 1 partner runs an offensive guardian set with a FM, and a defensive guardian set with a summoner/sorc/wizard. This will increase your chances of survival and cover all types of play (defense, offense, melee oriented hero and caster hero).

Free-For-All (FFA)
-For this game, it is best to sit back, and just shoot spells/arrows at the teams fighting and wait it out until they are both weak. If you do pop your head out to shoot some things, always make sure you do damage to the player in that scuffle that is winning, so to even the odds so they have a better chance taking each other out.

Group Combinations
Any combination will work in FFA, but the sorc/summoner/wizard really shine with valor on these types of fights. Just remember LoS, LoS, LoS.



*****Unless you like not taking damage, but also not doing much damage, the comp of  {Paladin, Warrior, Fighter Mage} should not be used. Its just too defenseful and you would have to use your cards and hero to kill an opponent before he can heal/save them.

So, I was playing my Cousin Dirpius, and in the game he imprisioned my Fire Golem. So on my turn I summoned my water elemental (im a fighter mage).

Anyways the fire golem and imprisioned block dissappeared, and my water elemental never appeared, i lost my 2 mana, the card and not only that... but i cant click end turn button AND the timer stopped! (also it put an invisible wall where the fire golem used to be...)

So the game froze...

So, last night I was in a 2v2 with Joshua, CodyMonkey and Parson 1122.

Well Joshua used imprinsionment on my Fighter Mage, and when My turn came along I teleported out of it. Well after I left that area behind, it left and invisible wall that no one could walk, or los through. Even in the ss attached it has the wall partially cut off.

(The black box on the SS is the tile with the invisible wall.)
[This was a few turns after the actual imprisionment, so the spell wore off by that time, and my barbarian cant move through, which later a rogue found out he couldn't choot through it either.]
