Historical Boardgames sponsored BATTLE OF THE AGES Tournament

[Veqryn]

would you guys be willing to make this compromise:

**first 2 rounds are Low Luck

all future rounds starting top of round 3, are Dice**

what do the both of you think?

please answer ASAP

[Make_It_Round]

Low-luck literally sucks all of the fun out of it for me.

I’ve tried it, despised it, and don’t want to waste any more time with it.

I’d play chess or tic-tac-toe if I wanted a game with a script…

[Veqryn]

really, not even for a round?

ok will look for a new opponents for both of you

[Make_It_Round]

Cheers Veq.

And… since we’ve got your attention here, what’s the ETA on your TripleA 1914 emulator?  :wink:

[Veqryn]

MIR, you and Bacala will face off in round 5, playing with Dice

wirkey and pug will likewise face off, playing with LL

get to it

[Ajmdemen]

Ajm (good) wins vs soulfein (evil).

Save attached

soulfein LOTR.tsvg

[SantaClaus2]

Santa (evil) surrenders to Wassmuss (good) in LoTR.

It was only my second time ever playing the map, and I had fun even though I got crushed.

It’s my impression that this game is heavily-weighted towards ‘Good’. Results so far seem to confirm an imbalance…

[Veqryn]

ajm should have played as evil, not sure why he didn’t
perhaps he can repeat his victory as evil to show us all?

[Most Holy]

@Make_It_Round:

Fear not! I’m currently playing ‘good’ and will help swing the curve back towards universal balance.

[DeadTom]

I’m no expert on this map, but I’m pretty sure that evil is a lot harder to play, but still rather balanced.

[wirkey]

After three rounds of not knowing what I was doing I (evil) conceded to Pug.

First time LotR, was fun though.
Thanks to all opponents for nice gaming and Veqryn for organisation!

[Veqryn]

hey its not over yet wirkey, we still have round 6 (TWW) ahead of us.  after that, it will be officially over.

[wirkey]

i thought TWW was only as a tiebreaker to determine the winner. With 2-3 i doubt that i have chances :) but if there is an official rnd 6, of course i will participate. Please give me ice, i want to have the chance once to kick his ass :-)

[Most Holy]

Gekkepop (Evil) defeats Most Holy (Good)

Low luck, no bid

[Gekkepop]

Hepps01 (Allies) has conceeded to Gekkepop (Central Powers) in round 4.

[Hepps01]

Good game Gekkepop.

[lexgreat]

Lala for Mordor defeats Alex for the Free Peoples. Well done.

[Veqryn]

I am hoping to post the next and last round of this tournament soon: round 6: Total World War

We have 2 undefeated participants who will be battling for the prize: Ajmdemen and Admetus
And I hope to have everyone else play too.

However, I can not do this until all round 4 games are finished, and we still have 2 games ongoing:

Nothing to see here
vs
lalapalooza

and

Funcioneta
vs
AmorphousCube

We also have several round 5 games not started yet, and I’ll send out private messages to get everyone to start theirs.

@Veqryn:

…

If there are 2 people tied for 1st somehow (which is technically impossible after 6 rounds), then we run a tiebreaker round for those two.  (participation in tiebreaker round is optional for everyone but the 2 front-runners)

Please, when you set up round 6, leave me out.

I have taken a look into Total World War and - although the appearance is really great - I do not have the time and patience to deal with this extensive game in an adequate way. Concerning WW II I will stick to the A&A games.

I enjoyed Napoleonic Empires, 270BC and LotR very much and feel like playing those again every now and then.

Thank you  :-)
