thankx but take me off the list im going toplay paintball today i forgot ill do nex time thanks:)))

scratch that ill b here my ride canceled on me

ME 1v1 junkie here,

Gui/Sze anyone who wants to play: I think you all usually play when I am asleep, but I'd like to play these settings with you. It looks like a larger map, without cards or wastelands to make it less complicated, but very similar to strat 1v1.

Hit me up.

hedg, the settings make each game unique. But maybe it is not for everyone. If you prefer games with less tactical requirements and more uncontested growth, you wouldn't like the template. Or maybe you just want something new. That's the way it should be. If the 2v2 ladder were as balanced, as fair (with respect to luck), and as strategically interesting, I wouldn't have stopped playing with this account.

Ideally, the 1v1 ladder would be what it is with a modified ME map (that goes further than the new ME map), the 2v2 ladder would be this template, and the seasonal ladders would each be on a different map. If only Fizzer were as good at creating templates as he is at programming.

It's easier to get bored from Med.Earth than from Europe :)

I know, its off topic, but i took a look at that game sze/myhand - Gnuff/Tri. I can only conclude: its always the picks. With only 3 picks for each player bad luck with the picks sure has a bigger influence than with 4 picks. And sze/myhand sure had some bad luck with them. But in this case it was not only the picks. Both teams knew where the other teams picks are from beginning. Right after start myhand and sze should have elaborated a game strategy how to deal with the overall situation. As Gui already mentinoned it sure was a risky strategy for sze to take 2 neutrals in order to get to Eastern France. It you do something like this you need to put all your forces into it, because the likelyness that you are dealing with 2 opponents when you get to Eastern France is really big. So putting the first bonus income to England sure was a mistake. If the two had elaborated a better overall game strategy, it would have been quite clear, that myhand should have used the paramount strategic situation of Denmark more quickly by moving asap toward Benelux, even before taking Denmark and later, Norway. Myhands tries to kill Gnuffone in Center were totally useless without a serious threat on the bonuses of Gnuffone. From turn 8 on both, sze and myhand played a great game, but it was too late to catch up the deficits of prior moves.

My conclusion is that one factor sure was some bad luck with the picks. But much more important was the lack of an efficient synergetic game strategy of sze/myhand.

About the luck for Greece - The template was originally made by Szew who does not have a membership. The luck will always default to 75% because of this, and I think will do that if you don't have a membership as well. I assure you the real tournament is at 16% luck. :)

Ah, good. Don't want to lose my game because of luck.

congrats Timinator. i was so close and yet so far :)

/another template next week? Hopefully...

i actually like ancient greece template. a lot more then middle earth or ancient china atleast :p
but if you're looking for new templates how about volcano island or noord brabant? http://warlight.net/Map.aspx?ID=5069
they are fairly strategical and don't usually take long to play. plus it's different to play on maps with more numerous borders. and diversity is always good. :)

also, i don't understand why you don't have larger brackets and only do the live coverage of the more interesting games. if you're afraid the better players wont want to play through 3 hours of live tournament i guess you could keep it limited to 16 brackets but hold qualifiers of some sort during the week. it's important to let underdogs have a swing at it, and from this weeks lobby it seems lot of folks were cut off. you could do some sort of scheme where the 2 finalists from previous week would get automatically accepted and the other 14 slots would be available to the top players from the qualifiers. maybe throw in a couple of guest wildcards taken from top 20 of the ladder now and again to keep the number of active pros high.

If you want diversity how about Australia(it's roughly same size as greece map).

ps, you never know if people are going to be on-line, and we would have larger brackets just there aren't 32 players who say they want to play, so there are only 16 players...

hedja: there were more than 32 folks online at the lobby yesterday who wanted to participate. so i don't get where you're coming from stating there weren't enough players. o_O

ofcourse whoever joins the qualifiers should know what they're joining to and be ready to be online during the live tournament. if they get qualified and don't show up you can just invite a second wave of other folks who participated in the qualifiers but didnt make the first tier and ultimately open the flood gates to any other invite.

no ps. there was 24 people in the lobby when the tournament invites were sent out. 1 oft them wasx lolowut so 23.

Streamed tournament have to give also some instruncting-entartaining materials, admitting noobs will ruin this amazing thing that Lolowut made for us.

By the way noobs can easily join any other tournement they want, then it is not an enormous restriction to them.

To me I would like to see 5 top players round robins:P

whoopdy doo

Ill probably need someone to play with me in my team in the 2v2.
Only thing is i need a good player, so im not wieghed down. (most people here make me way them down but whatever)

How about me for a teammate, Reza?
We could do a practice real-time game before the tourney.
