Necro going into Play-off semi-final, help needed!

Post by El_Jairo »

Hi you all,

it has been a while since I have been here but I would like to hear your take on this.

I'm currently playing a Necromantic team in a short league of 9 games which ended and I made it into the Play-offs.
So far so great but my Guard Wight got killed in the last season match. Although I'm sitting on about 300k in gp so I could replace him with a rookie or spend my treasure on petty cash and induce me a merc with guard, which would cost me about 170k.

I will be playing vs another Necro team and as far as I can remember he has the following key players:

Wolf with AG4, dodge, block
Wolf with Block (maybe Dodge)
2x Wight with guard (maybe one has MB?)
Ghoul with block, sure-hands
Ghoul with Wrestle?
two skill-less Golems (maybe he got more lucky and was able to skill one up in the mean time)
Zombie 2x Wrestle and one with Wrestle-Tackle

During the season I lost because of his AG4 Wolf.
My team looks like this:
Wolf with Blodge
Wolf with Block
1x Wight with MB, Guard
Ghoul with block, sure-hands
Ghoul with Wrestle
two skill-less Golems
Zombie 2x Wrestle and one with Kick

In total I have 3 spare Zombies, 1 AC 1 CL and 3 RR

I believe I should be down in TV as I lack any doubles or stat-upgrades.

What would your advice be to take on this game?
I could sack a zombie, to bring down my TV.
Hire the Merc Guard Wight or buy a Rookie wight?
Transfer enough cash to induce a wizard?
Also try to include BB, to ensure KO returns as I will typically get only 1 or 2 shots at rolling KO's.

Should I hold back some cash to take me to the final? I'm not really confident of making it through the sem-final, as my opponent is a more veteran coach and I tend to over-extent once per game.

Thank you for reading just to the end, your help is appreciated.

LOLz

I played the game tonight but I just got out-clocked the petty cash by a second, as I didn't see the time first.
So no merc guard wight, only BB.
In one of the first turns my Blodge SH trips into BH.
In the middle there was a buggy (server was lagging!) game which went uphill.
I lost 0-2 but it still was more close than expected.

And the game ended with me second Ghoul imitating the first,
right: GFI -> BH =)

In the end the Cyanide monster gave me the win 2-4 because of disco :smoking:
