@Noll:

I dropped because of Low Luck.
I love tripleA custom maps but I can’t stand LL.

GG with hte tournament Veq!

Lalapalooza said in his thread that he would be willing to continue the game in Dice.

I think Kabloom (your rnd 2 opponent) would be willing to play with Dice if you asked him.

Please let me know if you want to continue playing.  It is certainly not too late to start your game with Kabloom.

[Veqryn]

DeadTom and AlexGreat, you guys are now opponents for Round 2 (NWO).

Please start your game as soon as possible.

thanks everyone, and have fun!

(kabloom, i’m going to wait to see if noll decides to continue and start the game with you, or if I need to find you a new opponent.  Please tell us if you can play dice for you game with him or not.  If he does not continue, I have another opponent for you.)

[Noll]

Lala wanted to keep LL cor at least round 1  and no, I’m not going to continue it, I miht find more opponents wanting to play LL as this is a common option in the tripleA lobby for these maps.

I’ll wizh this tournament bedt luck tho’, it’s just the LL that doesn’t fit my tastes (even if I’m usually pretty unlucky I still prefer dice uncertainities from a tactical viewpoint)

I agree. To me LowLuck is a fun killer, too.

[Veqryn]

noll, the last post by lala says he is willing to switch back to dice (immediately)

kabloom says he is willing to play dice for his game with you (round 2, nwo)

and round 3 and 4 both default to dice (270bc and great war)

so, let us know if you are continuing (and if so, please start your game with kabloom ASAP)

Did Eskander officially drop? He just posted a turn in our NWO game so I was wondering if he dropped since then.

Round 1, Narushima VS Wirkey is over, Wirkey won.

Here’s the topic: http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=28550.45
We finished through the lobby, and I didn’t think of keeping a save file or anything, but trust me, I lost.

No response from him for over 18 days, so I gave you a new opponent (alexgreat) before he posted at all in that thread.

Please do not continue that game, your new opponent is alexgreat, so please start a new game with him. ASAP.

I’ll work out with Eskander whether he wants to continue from round 3 or not, but he certainly does not have time to finish his round 1 and 2 games in addition to the round 3 that is starting in like 2 weeks.  And NWO is a pretty long game to be honest.

[Veqryn]

I should add this to the rules, although it is technically covered by point 1.

I am very very much against giving people “byes” in this tournament.

If you opponent never shows up, or you never make it past round 1, then I do plan to if at all possible, give you a new opponent.

The whole point of the tournament is to get people playing these different maps.  If you skip a round, that means you’ve skipped a map, and that makes me incredibly sad.

The fact that you could win a little something is a nice bonus, but the real incentive is the fun you will have playing on all these different boards.

So ya, if it is possible, I will find a new opponent for anyone who’s opponent is not playing.

[moilami]

My experience with NE map was that I was about to skip it because I was busy with life and because the map was strange. I did however give it a go, which was a very good decision since this tournament is an excellent way to try out those less played maps.

Now all I wish is that I don’t have to skip any map.

No problem. I was just concerned that he still wanted to play, but was removed without his knowledge. I wasn’t trying to earn a bye, just to play the hand I was dealt. I’ll start with Alex right away.

Hi, Vegryn, I just noticed a thing, just a small hint for Napoleonic Empires scenario. This is not for gameplay balance or such (in fact, it doesn’t affect gameplay at all), it’s just for historical accuracy

The 4th level cavalry unit, the one that has historical generals (Ney, Wellington, etc). It’s odd playing Spain and having a generic “Marshall” as this unit, mainly because Spain has not marshalls as a military rank since 16th century (highest is Capitán General, but that is reserved for the king I think, the highest rank for a regular spanish officer is “general”). I think that you could name that unit (for Spain) as the general that won the battle of Bailén (general Castaños). As such, “Castaños” should work… or if you have not ñ as available character in TripleA, Castanos or C. Aragorri (Aragorri being 2nd surname for that general)

I want to play as general Castaños  :lol:

[Veqryn]

i’d like to change it, but i need a new unit art for it (see how the ones with names all have cool art?)
would you be willing to find new art or make me new art for it?

[Funcioneta]

OK, I see your point. Generic marshalls get all the same pic. Mmm… sorry, I’m not very good with aesthetics stuff

So I fear that Castaños will have to wait for a dedicated artist  :-)
