template is ok, but put 0% luck not 16%.
on straight round are similar:
BUT: on 0% luck 1 always kill 1
on 16% luck 1 kill 1 at 86%...
this change how utilise leftorvers for make bonus, bc for take a neutral:
on 0% luck if you have a leftorvers you can make 1v2 and 2v1, and you take neutral at 100%.
on 16% luck you could fail an important bonus bc in 1v2 , defend decrease by 1 only at 86%.

dead piggy:
i tried them in this tournament:
http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?TournamentID=4192
which was created by Gui so i believe the settings are his template, yes.
i cloned it to make random teams, everything else should be the same.

i guess i can add Gnuffone's suggestions to the template, unless anyone has any solid counter arguments.

Oh, I thought it was Johns East Asia. Never mind =(.

dead piggy: i guess i can define some sort of rule that after a month or so the ladder will close (as in a season) and the winner picks the template for the next one.

[and the winner picks the template for the next one.]

this is interesting. i like idea.

Hm, that sounds fun. I'd like to join.

ok, i did a couple more updates to the code and started the ladder with 8 players we have so far. the first game is already up and running:
http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=4032892

have to wait till the game ends to see if everything is running ok.

or enough more people join in to trigger a second game. :)

the page only gets updated every 24 hours btw. need to add that info in there somewhere.

Can non-members participate in it?
I like the idea, and idea of CLOT itself, to support it I'll join as a cannon fodder, if I can.

yeah member can join imho.

I'll give it a go also!

I'd like to join.

Can i join please.

About members/non-members playing: There is this restriction from the CreateGameAPI that if a non warlight member is participating the luck will be automatically set to 75% which is annoying for those of us who prefer strategic settings. I believe Fizzer mentioned that he was going to rethink that rule at some point, and so i just mailed him asking about this. Depending on his answer i'll either make the ladder members-only or remove folks who don't like the 75% like myself and Gnuffone.

added the other folks who requested to be added, two more games should get created tomorrow morning.

i think you should wait fizzer's answer first to start game. 75% luck really completely change gameplay...I do not want to lose match by luck.

I am 99% sure he will not change his mind. The point of the ladders in general is them being a member incentive. Releasing CLOT allows us to make a copy of any official ladder making buying membership long-run redundant.

sze: you might be right, but can't hurt asking :)

i'm more inclined to making this members only anyways, i really prefer the low luck strategic plays. but let's wait and see.

ok, on second thought, i'm making this members only already.
sorting out a bug and will restart soon.

to the non-members: sorry. :/

here we go, fixed the bug and reset the ladder with members only.
new first game is this one

let me know if any other games created are still pending, one might have slipped my radar since i was deleting them manually.
