RTW: Alexander Tournament

[GeneralChaos]

Alexander: Ares' Forge

Sunday July 27, 2008 (US)

- 1:00pm EST (US Eastern)
- 6:00pm London, UK Time

Welcome to my first attempt at a tournament. For this, it'll be similar to many of the other tournaments people have likely played on TWC.

To sign up, please post the name you will fight as, as well as your favorite faction.

All fights are:
1 vs 1
10,000 denarii
Fought on the Greek Shore
Large Units

Besides these, whatever goes- no limits on factions/tactics/units. Everything will be scored in a round-robin fashion similar to what most of you are used to.

Also, save replays! If I can procure a video program tonight, I'll make a recap of the tournament after the results.

Hope to see you on Sunday!

I'm going to join the fight as Indians
Hopefully we can scoop someone up for Dahae and we've got 1 of each faction.

No worries- hopefully a Barbarian Invasion thing will be in the near future. Also, feel free to either pm me or post in the old alex/bi tourneys thread about when you play... I picked this time because it seems to be when the widest range of people are on.

I'm surprised - not a fan of the Dahae Scythians?

[Xavier Dragnesi]

Take the Dahae Seli! Then we will have a neat balance of all factions

Squelch! Yes I am, but the barbarians in ATW are very limited and they have the color of a freshly lain pie of bodily solid.

hi,

I've never played a tournament but this one looks fun

So if you'll have me:

[GeneralChaos]

"freshly lain pie of bodily solid.": you make them sound so appealing, I might have to switch


made-in-uk: Alas, real life interferes. Hope to see you around in the future.

[Xavier Dragnesi]

Well, due to my brother dropping my laptop onto wooden floorboarding yesterday evening, my only current copy of Alexander has be lost for the moment. I shall try to have it installed on my dad's PC, but because of the incident, my likelihood of my getting to this has dropped somewhat.

[GeneralChaos]

's going down in 45 minutes. Bring your cavalry.
EDIT- To Comp lobby

[Prince_of_Macedon]

My friends haven't called me about the soccer game yet so I might be able to show up for this.

EDIT: nice tourney, GeneralChaos. I think it was everyone's first time playing this game (for more than 15 minutes)

Sorry I was late on posting results, work kind of sucked tonight.

Congratulations to Cluny the Scourge, for his first place finish, as well as for everyone that participated (Xavier, Prince) and proved that people can, in fact, play expansions online.

Once Windows movie maker stops acting up I'll post a 3 minute summary video of the matches I have replays for.

[Xavier Dragnesi]

Well, it was a very fun tourney, small though it was. I'd be happy to join another like this
