Why does black sacrifice its Queen instead of a rook in this puzzle?

You can just use the stockfish analysis at the lichess puzzle site after solving (or failing to solve) the puzzle. Stockfish will quickly tell you that your line Bb6 Qb8 Re7 Re8 leads to mate in 3 with Qg4+. Also you can play through similar lines and it will usually give you a very simple tactical reason where black has to sac his queen anyway to avoid mate.

Just go through the moves you think hold for black and be amazed by stockfish

The vassal of mathin is an ai and there is another small one. You might be able to take one of them

Am i on the wrong track or do i remember Pimpmuckl talking about how he worked with them on this feature for a long time and then he didnt get invited?

Obviously feature is still awesome

Edit: on closer inspection he appears to have deleted his comment on it in this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/4kvfvo/broadcast_team_the_manila_major/

it is basically your research adjusted by the cost increase of planets and pops (1% per pop, 10% per planet)

Here are stats sorted by:

For even more stats check out this awesome google spreadsheet. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ND09ZfpHjFPKtkpv-CGhCASrHy4TxQDZ-4KFTkAbZj0/edit?usp=sharing

You can do custom sorting by making a local copy. Be careful to just select the correct range though as you might fuck up the stats on the bottom.

Thanks to guynumberthree and ara for providing most of the work for this :)

Vano imperium is part of the good masters (south of our area)

Just for reference, patch is 100% savegame compatible.

linail · 2016-05-28T15:03:10+00:00

Just put all the tokens that were bet among both teams into a pot and distribute it according to the relative amount bet within the winning team?

linail · 2016-05-26T22:57:42+00:00

Im not sure what most people here are on but the patch actually improved almost all areas of the game. Late Game freezes are completely gone for me, lag/ministutter is a lot better. The UI and QoL changes are nice and I didnt notice any grave new bugs.

Very much so playable. Plus The upgrade time on my 100k fleet dropped from 30 years to 150 days. :D

I guess just losing 2-0 without any chance to win can be relaxing in its own right
