BRACKET

This Tournament single elimination and each match will be a best of 3. You cannot play the same faction more than once per round. All battles will be in the Grassy Plain map unless you both agree otherwise (the other maps are very unbalanced and unfair). Please inform me and Jmonstra of the time you have chosen as I would like to spectate/record the battles (I join as a third player with just a general, I stay out of the action, and I admit defeat once its over).

FACTION WEIGHTS
In order to better balance these battles we will be slightly weighting the amount of gold each faction receives. On average each faction should have been picked twice in Season 1, so we will be adding/subtracting 200 gold for each game they were away from 2 picks.

Rhun: Picked 0 times: +400 Gold
OoG: Picked 0 times: +400 Gold
OotMM: Picked 0 times: +400 Gold
Harad: Picked 0 times: +400 Gold
Mordor: Picked 1 time: +200 Gold
Dale: Picked 1 time: +200 Gold
Dwarves: Picked 2 times: No Change
Rohan: Picked 2 times: No Change
Gondor: Picked 2 times: No Change
Silvain Elves: Picked 4 times: -400 Gold
Arnor*: Picked 5 times: -600 Gold
Eriador*: Picked 5 times: -600 Gold
Isenguard: Picked 5 times: -600 Gold
High Elves: Picked 8 times: -1,200 Gold

*All Eriador armies in season 1 were based primairily on Arnor ones. Eriador armies not using Arnor units will instead receive a +400 gold boost.

RULES:

Rules: 15000 Gold Armies Battles will be played on Grassy Plain to prevent Hill Camping You can only play a faction once per round A coin toss decides who picks their faction first No Artillery/Mumakil/Sauron/Ents/Spiders/Balrog (This is partially because some of these units cause multiplayer battle crashes) Max of 6 Cavalry total Max of 6 Archers total Max of 2 Missile Cavalry (does not count towards archer total, but does count towards cav) Please post below if you want to edit or add any rules! There isn't really a meta for this so we might as well create one .

OK, so follow this link:

http://download.cnet.com/Gamespy-Arc...9_4-12315.html

Click "Direct Download" because the CNet downloader sucks!

Then just install, create an account, and log in. I believe you can do all of that in the client. Good luck!

[Jmonstra]

I don't seem to be able to create an account

[Jmonstra]

Woo! Just remembered my old account info.

[AdmiralThrawn]

Sweet! When can you play?

[Jmonstra]

Fun even though I got spanked! What was the final score? 3-2 in your favour?

[AdmiralThrawn]

Still though, those Silvains really kicked my ass .

[AdmiralThrawn]

I think so.

[Jmonstra]

Great games though. I suggest that the rest of you lurkers join us one of these evenings.

[The SilvanElve NL]

I think this should be put in the Multiplayer thread....but I am not a moderator so yeah :p

[ElvenKind]

Moved from TATW Forum.

[PandaChef]

I am interested in this, there have been a few threads down the line of this sort of nature but none really kicked off, hopefully this will. I could also PM the people who were interested in previous ones to look at this thread.

[Jmonstra]

That would be a good idea, I think. Thanks! Also Thrawn, I think you mean 15,000 not 1500 gold .

But yeah, I think Thrawn and I are going to at least play some battles fairly often, so feel free to drop in and say hello. Also, with the permission of those involved, I'll record the tournament battles and upload them to my channel so even if you can't make it one evening, you don't have to miss the action.

[Discord1996]

I would join i just have to reinstall everything (i didnt use a proper CD-key )also where are you guys from? (Time Zone)

[Jmonstra]

We're both on the west coast, so we run on PST

[Discord1996]

Woops btw my time Zone is GMT+1 (germany)
Nine hours is a huge difference but i will find a solution for that

[Arrow2daknee]

I could probably play, though I absolutely hate the slow and sluggish nature of Medieval 2 battles.

[Jmonstra]

Our battles only took about 15 minutes each with 20 unit stacks.
