~TATW Multiplayer Tournament~
SEASON 3
Original season 1-2 thread - HERE
Welcome everyone to the Third Age Total War Multiplayer Tournament Season 3! For those unfamiliar a user named AdmiralThrawn hosted 2 tournaments in 2014 (Season 2 didn't make it past the second round) that I was apart of. Those tournaments were incredibly fun so I have decided to host a third one. I highly recommend that you watch the videos and read the thread for seasons 1-2 because it will be quite similar to this, and you will know where I am coming from. I hope to make this a series of bi-weekly or monthly tournaments with rankings as I'm sure AdmiralThrawn did before it went downhill. But that's all down to how well this tournament goes. If you wish to sign up please post in this thread, and join the Steam Group because it helps with organizing tournaments.

Grassy Plain or Pellenor Fields to prevent Hill Camping

- The higher seed picks his faction first for the first battle, after that the loser of the last battle gets to choose if he picks first or second
- Once you have picked your faction for that battle, tell your opponent that you have chosen, and then he may pick his
- Once you have chosen a faction you may not switch until the next battle
- You can only play a faction once per match
- As soon as you win/lose your match send me a message on Steam/TWC immediately with the replays and results so I can update the bracket and make a match report
- Save the replay on all your battles, and send it to me through steam or TWC PM's (if you don't know how to do it look below)

-Help With Online battles in Medieval 2-
- Make sure you and your opponent are on the same steam server. To check click on steam in the upper left and then-settings-downloads-download region. Your download region should be the same
- We will be using the 'americas' folder for this, so be sure your TATW folder is named 'americas'
- Your replays are located in the 'replays' folder in the TATW mod folder, find the replay for the battle you played and then upload that and send it to me through steam or TWC. I only need one replay per battle so you and your opponent should figure out who will send the replay
- If you need any more assistance add me on Steam, and I can definitely make it work
Tournament 2 starts Friday, July 15th! Signups are open to anyone just post in the thread.
