CTP Mini-Tournament

[EPW]

Hah. It's more than a while since I posted around here. The place sure looks different from what I remember, but I'm glad to see some old faces . I can't commit to play, I'm afraid, but if you did want to use a premade map there's one I made for a tournament years ago which is probably still lurking.

Dual duel is probably more sensible, though.

Feel free to post it.

[Av8tor]

Is there room for me?

[EPW]

Of course.

That's 7 players confirmed, and 1 more possible with jdww.

[Grandpa Troll]

Of course.

That's 7 players confirmed, and 1 more possible with jdww.

My vote is to move forward quickly once we have the 8

My vote is to move forward quickly once we have the 8

I vote for sideways.

[EPW]

I was hoping to get some more of the active/semiactive players, like quinns and thebirdman and anyone else on the current ladder.

[jpww]

Thanks for the invitation, but I must decline... You guys have fun!
Always good to see familiar faces in familiar places... Haha

[Maquiladora]

Just get one more and start this thing There's plenty of time for another tourney if this succeeds.

[ricketyclik]

Or even a parellel one where the winners of the two meet at the end

You better watch yourself Chadisangry, that could get you bounced from Apolyton here, the site owners dont allow such talk, seriously, no warez no talk of no cd hack, unless things have changed

Its Not Really A Hack.. Its actually in the userprofile.txt itself.. i found it trying to edit ai etc... But If They want me to remove it i will!

[J Bytheway]

Feel free to post it.

I don't think I have it to hand, but it should be attached to one of my posts around here somewhere...

I can't find a way to search the archive. Did the Powers That Be turn that off?

[EPW]

Patryn is our 8th player. He's sorting out his email issues so he hasn't posted yet.

To anyone else who wants to play: Speak up now!

I can't find a way to search the archive. Did the Powers That Be turn that off?

I think so.

[J Bytheway]

Ah well. On closer inspection, I don't think the archive goes back far enough anyway. I hunted around on my machine here but I can find only the scarcest remnants of anything CTP.

Settings and rules.

We still haven't decided on the settings and rules. Now, since this is a tournament, I think we should try to reduce the random factor as much as possible. Which means we should exclude ruins, AI, and barbs; and play dual-duel style. However, I won't dictate anything and leave it up to a vote

Everyone should vote on the following:

Map Settings

Map Size: Small, Regular, Huge, or Gigantic.
Map Type: Earth or Doughnut.
Map Characteristics(From 0-100%)
Wet/Dry
Warm/Cold
Ocean/Land
Island/Continent
Uniform/Diverse
Few/Many Goods

In-Game Rules

Difficulty: Chieftain, Warlord, Prince, King, Emperor, Deity
Barbarians: Ruins Only, Roving Bands, Restless Tribes, Raging Hordes
Bloodlust: On/Off. (Irrelevant)
Pollution: On/Off
AI's: Yes/No. If yes, how many? (1-6)

Custom Rules

Do we...
use Quick Start Mod? (3 settlers, 5k gold, 10k pw, 6 advances at start)
Allow Ruins?
use Dual-Duel format?
Alternative Victory Condion(Yes or No):
4x Power Victory (Shouldn't be needed with Dual-Duel format)
allow restarts? (Shouldn't be needed with Dual-Duel format)
allow Wonders? If so, which ones?
allow Nukes?
