what is a dual duel ?
2 vs. 2 ?
how does that count on the ladder ?

Two matches... One vs. one -- one normal game and one with the same exact map but with the sides reversed. It is one match, first person to win a game wins the match.

so if i win one and lose the other it counts as 1 won and 1 lost ?

for all non-germans:
that means Taladas challenged me for a game.

Quinns, surely, as it is the same game, it should work as follows:

Race to 2. If 1 and 1, goes to turn countback. Fastest winner gets the win.

You have a good point here, redbull. It makes sense to me. So then, Dual Duel Format = Two separate games but only ONE challenge match. This "dual duel" type of format will complete much faster then. What do the rest of you think about this?

well i didnt really understand what redbull meant.

Mathemagician vs. Hatschy - Turn 84
Mathemagician vs. Geoffrey Arnold - Turn 26
Mathemagician vs. Taladas - Turn 29

Okay...

Match A: Mr X defeats Mr. Y--- 109 turns
Match B: Mr. Y defeats Mr. X--- 87 turns.

Mr. Y wins the Challenge, as his victory was completed faster than Mr. X completed his.

Also the above would show true winner, as the have both started on the same terrain, and have had the same oppurtunity to use the same resources.

yes, but what if someone has more like a slower strategy and the other one is more a warrior who gives quick beats ?
well, i cant seem to like the system.
so please dont challenge me for a game with this.
