Norse Wars FFA Tourney

Brief: Norse Wars is one of the most legendary custom games in AoT history.  This eliminates a lot of macro components of a regular random map and replaces it with high micro, and big decision making in which units to make, which upgrades to purchase, which units to purchase and which god power combinations to use to destroy your opponents.  We're talking high IQ plays.

Prize: 1 year voobly gold donated by our lovely DoD_Kilt + Norse Wars Champion Badge + any other prizes donated

Map: http://aom.heavengames.com/downloads/showfile.php?fileid=320

Signup: Signups will be open for 2 weeks, starting today.  Signups close on June 11th and will not be extended.

Signup info: Paste this below info

Voobly name: DoD_Chaos

Availability: 0-5GMT weekdays, 15-5GMT weekends





Details:

Players will be randomly inserted into pools, likely pools of 4 depending on numbers.  Each pool will play a series of games, with points awarded as below

In a game of 4,

First: 3 points

Second: 2 points

First: 1 point

Last: 0 points



The host of the game must be a player with an AoT english installation.  This is a map requirement.  The other players in the game will be randomly assigned slot numbers each game.  One of the players, or the caster, should use an online dice roller or some fair random method that is visible to the other players of assigning player slots, so the same players are not always beside each other (if position is random, we can ignore this, need to test).



Casting:

If you would like to cast these tourney games, please let me know.



Scheduling:

Since we need ~4 exact players on together, scheduling well will be important to the tournament.  If you are not actively scheduling, please do not signup.  People found to signup and not commit will be banned from all tournaments I host, I'm not messing around here .

A subforum will be created.

Norse wars is pretty much 100% about the macro. Micro is kind of a small part of the game mode. So long as your units are attacking you are fine because it isn't actually about getting kills. It is about doing damage to get favor so you can upgrade your units so you can do more damage to get more favor to upgrade them even further ect. ect. :P

Fun game mode, been a long time since I've played it. Good luck with the tourney

That's a valid concern, thank you for pointing this out. This isn't hyper competitive in that there is a huge prize on the line or anything, so I expect the players will focus on the fun rather than alliance abuse. After all it's norse wars, not set wars. Seriously though, if we do see abuse then shame on the players, but we can't really stop it. The alternative is to do 2v2 which is not nearly as fun IMO. If this does seem like a problem throughout the group stage, we can look at alternatives for the final group.

I respect your opinion and see where you're coming from, and I think at the lower/mid levels this might be true. I do think that kills matter, since the rewards are significant. Aditionally in an FFA game you can still be very impactful even if you are behind on kills or upgrades, so proper special unit + base defense micro is very very important. We will see how it plays out though :) I don't want to reveal all my tricks ;)
