SuperLeague Season 2: Sign up and discussion

[Frozzy]

Yes.

[checkMate]

Yes you get a point if you are ahead of the human. The AI are irrelevent for the *9's. If you need to post a *9 do so here (at least until they move us to a new forum)

[Keygen]

I have accepted Birdman's offer to teammate with him for this SL season. Never played before or participated in discussion in the SuperLeague so any redirection or note would be appreciated.

In the first post of this thread there is a link which I suppose is the thread with the most current rules despite they are 9 months old, right?

[checkMate]

Keygen, Birdman..

Here are the most recent super league rules, pairings, and standings.

summary thread

I will update the pairings tonight to add your team so you will know who to start up with.

Thanks for joining

Scoring

Ok, regarding scoring... you get a point if you are in the lead on each 9* turn. There is also a bonus if you win in under 100 turns and another bonus if you win under 150 turns.

However, you would get the most points if you wipped out your opponents down to the last city, and then just build a wall of fortresses around him and keep him in the game for 300 turns... LOL

Please tell me this isn't so...

[Keygen]

checkMate, thanks for the link and for running the 2nd season of SL

Yoda, thanks for the info and I guess the player(s) left with one city would surrender unless that is forbidden - something I don't see in the rules.

I also read that winning under 100 turns you get less points than winning under 150 turns. How can this be? We all know that winning faster is more challenging...

And about the game settings, can different ones be used if accepted by the players in a game or not? Is PBEM Mod allowed?

[Frozzy]

Keygen: I haven't a clue why the bonus for winning in -100 turns is less than -150... it certainly wasn't the case last season.

Game settings are by mutual agreement by all players, though the standard ones are set by default.

PBEM mod is allowed.

YES, YES, YES. Very sorry, this is my mistake.

It should be 10 bonus for 100, and 5 bonus for 150.
I inverted it. Thank you for pointing this out. I will
fix it on the next update.

Players should definitely resign when they are
surrounded or otherwise think they are going to loose.
The *9 scoring basically encourages this. The bonus
as 100 and 150 encourages hanging in there for at
least that long.

PBEM is Play By EMail

mod refers to "modifications" to the game behavior
such as the medievel mod, or awesome AIPs etc.

The players voted strongly against use of any mods
in the Super League.

Did anybody here if or when we would get moved to a new forum?

[MILAMBER]

nope

PBEM Mod is a "scenario" where each player gets 3 "super settlers". When the super settlers settle, you get 2 phalanx, one settler and a mounted archer.

Basically it speeds up the beginning of the game.

DanQ is very busy at the moment with off-line and on-line activities.

It is imperitive than none of you whine to him, as it will only push us to the back of the line.
