Ancient Empires Tournament: Friday 11th November - 1st December

[Petellius]

Come this Friday an Ancient Empires Tournament will be held until the 1st of December. Players will compete to become the top three prize winning finalists in an event hosted by Gamersville and commented and contributed towards by many other Total War YouTubers. Haxo, Inco and hopefully Warrior of Sparta himself will take some time out of their busy schedules to provide commentary for the matches played by the participants.

Entrance to the tourney will be open until the 22nd of November, and we would ask for a small donation for those taking part in an effort to pay towards the prize fund which will consist of DLC codes, Ancient Empires Posters designed by myself and (to be finalised) other Total War YouTuber merchandise.

The battles will be a simple ladder match, with the first battles being 2v2, then preceded by 1v1 matches, with the final 2 players participating in a tug of war match. To explain this, a tug of war match is the best of three battles, with the first being a land battle, the winner of which will assault the loser in a siege match. If no clear winner is shown then the original winner of the land battle will go on to defend in a siege.

IMPORTANT: YOU MUST PROVIDE WORKING REPLAYS OR YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.
This means you must start the battle before deploying.

The Rules
The rules for standard matches are as follows:
- large unit sizes (thats roughly 180 men per unit)
- large funds
- no elephants or wardogs, simply for balance purposes.

The rules for the finale, tug of war match are as follows:
- Large unit sizes (thats roughly 180 men per unit)
- Huge funds.
- No elephants or wardogs, simply for balance purposes.
- The armies chosen must be used in all three matches (should you require more than two).

Thanks,

This is will be done depending on the amount of players who sign up.

Petellius, you really need to put the tournament rules on the Steam page. Also, where do we donate? The whole set up of the tournament definitely needs more clarification. Thanks

[Petellius]

Also for the overall winner, Havoc has kindly offered to create a very special Ancient Empires Tournament Winner poster!

[Petellius]

I'll have the tournament rules copied over tomorrow. As for the donations, it will be set up on the 11th

Sounds great!

What times will the tournament be hosted? GMT or something?

[Petellius]

Whenever you guys can get together, I'll try to pair time zones.

Can't join on steam since I have exceeded the group limit to over 1300 more groups. It will take me hours to get to a 999. Anyway I can sign up here or elsewhere?

will there be scheduled times for this, or just whenever?

[Petellius]

Yes but right now I'm in London finishing off two essays before I have to travel to Horsham on tuesday for the Mod Awards, so indulge me in a little time to regroup xD.

The first battle will be Draco and Johnny Cobra vs tynfkd3 and vuschundweg. Enjoy, don't forget to save battle replays or at least a picture of the final results.

Will the Replays of the Tournament be uploaded somewhere?

Also, I know its probably safest to not deploy, but replays that include deployment have worked fine for me in Ancient Empires (and apparently Havoc). Not sure if this is something that's been tested or just a good suggestion.
