Indeed, I was mistaken here. Then I agree with your point. |

I guess the votes are in, clearly the nation picks stay throughout although pretender changes are allowed. --------------------- To prevent giving myself an unfair advantage (since I'm receiving all the nation submissions) I'm going to just state my picks here: Primary: TNN Secondary: Vanheim For anyone who hasn't, please PM me your nation picks and timezone / preferred times to play. Thanks. EDIT: Switched the secondary from helheim to vanheim on 9/8 |

Please note: SAGES Given the game conditions - Easy Research and a 1:1 setting - I've concluded that finding sages very early is a game destabilizing influence. In this specific environment, finding one right next to your capital can be roughly equivalent to research gain from a research pretender or a heavy scales investment like M3 and represents somewhere in the ballpark of an 80+ design point advantage. BlanketThief has provided a tourney version of CBM 1.93 that differs only by removing Libraries entirely. This change will have an identical affect on all players and retain an even environment for all nations. The following is the only difference from CBM 1.93: -- Tweaks for Duel Tournament -- #selectsite "Library" #rarity 5 #end That this change is the only change from CBM 1.93 can be verified with a DIFF, Beyond Compare or other tools of your choice. The DM file can be found here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/102421173/CB1.93%2BNoLibrary.dm I will modify the op shortly. |

What do you guys think about adding magic site frequency to lower rush motivation a bit? Unlike other resources they require mage time and diversity to discover, which will be much more complicated process than in usual games. It's also quite logical with easy research - for many spells you are going to learn actually some gems are needed. It will slow down games a bit and will add more magic there and less "win or die in first 15 turns" builds. |

I think this makes sense. My vote would be to increase the gem frequency somewhat. |

I'm a bit leery about making such a change this close to the tournament starting; It's EA so the default setting is decently high as is, cranking it up even higher would shift the nation dynamics by quite a bit. Blood sacrifice capable nations have been proven to be very potent as is, giving them more slaves to play with could make them a bit overpowering. It would also shift more power to rainbows which can already function very well from my observations. |

BT is correct here. Although I think the suggestion may be a good one, a fairly major change like this the day before the tourney starts is way too drastic. I would also think that increasing the gem frequency may well result in more rushing not less. Maybe for the next one though

Yeah, you're right. Something to consider after the tourney once the discussions over balacing start. |

BEHOLD! From the masses they rose. TWENTY TWO pretenders to godhood heard the call of glory (a Sombre Unit to Satisfy their immense egos)!! TWENTY TWO pretenders to godhood heard the call of riches (fifty dollars! and possibly another 10 if its easy)!! These brave souls stepped forth to claim the one prize more valuable than godhood, more valuable than riches, and more valuable than glory... The COVETED FROSTED CUP! The Battle for the Cup has BEGUN!
------------- From this point on BlanetThief will take charge of the tourney. He will be posting the first round matches shortly. Good luck to everyone! |

TGAs of the current map selection as far as I know. Fourmaggedon will have start locations in opposite corners only; I'll toss up the .maps when Frosted gets back to me. The mod we'll be using How this is going to work: 1: Enable the mod, and just the mod. Go to Create Pretender God and do your magic. Placing a password on your pretender would be a capital idea. I don't want to hear any complaints about somebody dicking about with a turn because you didn't place a password on it. 2: Sign up at the lovely page Brainwrinkle from SomethingAwful has provided us with. It will need a valid address to send the confirmation email to. This is mainly to make my life easier and allow you to peek at the other games progress. 3: Join the game on the tournament page; The password you type in should be what you used for your pretender file. This is once again to make my life easier. The title format of the games are undecided currently, but it should be obvious which one you belong to. 4: Connect to the server! Open up Dominions 3, click on Network -> Connect to a Dominions Server, type in my IP address (70.77.5.250) and the port number when prompted (The number will be listed on the tournament page where you signed up). Select your pretender and Bob's your uncle. Odds are some one will have to hit start the game when the last pretender is in; If you would be a dear and do so it would be appreciated. The Two Don'ts: Don't use 'Save game and Quit' while connected to the server. It will upload your turn as is. If you can't finish your turn while connected use 'Quit without Saving' and finish it offline. Don't connect to the server with a half-finished turn. It will upload it automatically in much the same manner that Save game and Quit does. If you need to get in touch with me for whatever reason IRC would be your best bet. Here's a bit shamelessly copy-pasted from the wiki: server = irc.gamesurge.net port = 6667 channel = #dominions http://gamesurge.net/chat/Dominions/ Current Brackets by time-zone/availability: Torin Meinberg Ghoul31 Immac(ulate) Frosted (Frosted_moose_rush) Lourdes Diabl0658 Frozen Lama Silvano Fantomen Maerlande YellowCactus Raiel TheDemon Bullock HeatExtend Danayel Warspirit SsSam Lord Xia Executor GFSnl The games will be setup within the next 15 hours ideally. If nobody disagrees I'd suggest we just do two-lands only for the qualifiers here to allow it to run as smoothly as possible, but if the two of you agree on something else PM me before I get it all set up and I'll be happy to accommodate. |

Just some quick commentary on nation picks: Nations with no first pick: Ermor, Ulm, Caelum, Pan, Agartha, Helheim, Kailasa, Lanka Nations with no picks at all: Caelum, Pan, Agartha, Lanka For me the only real surprises are no Helheim first picks, and no Lanka picks at all. |

I'm the captain now

I am a noob when it comes to blitzing! Hmmm, why is TNN so popular? 4 first picks on them. And the second most favorable nation being Sauro with two primary and two secondary picks. |

I think "noobs" could be under cover agents. By the way what awful music NBA jam has, sorry. |
