I've won 360 league matches now but no other game was this much of a nail-biter...definitely think it's worth a look.

In retrospect, I think there are several places where he and I made mistakes--without a doubt he had an opportunity to win and I just barely scraped a victory by on turn 50. In any case, I think there's some interesting gameplay on both sides: he was heavily defensive and I was, perhaps, a little naive in my attacks.

Anyway, I'd love to hear what you would have done differently from either perspective because this could certainly have resulted in defeat without a little luck! I'm excited to hear what you think

Guess I was lucky he played it a little wrongly or ?

I took a risk by spawning a bombshell rather early in the game and it kinda paid off.

On a sidenote, does a barrier spawning a barrier require wit ? :O

You can see how many wits were wasted in simply filling up space, when watching over the replay. He did play wrongly a bit, but otherwise you had pretty good gameplay. Just in the replay, think about how the game might have differed if all those wits invested into barriers (which disappeared when the bramble uprooted) had been instead put into developing units and building a defence/attack.
