Tournamets

[Mad Baron]

I'm working on something now, that might become a mini-tournament, or maybe just a small invitational set of battles.

I have noticed many QB ME's simply become a mad dash to sit on the arbitrary flags first, which then quickly just becomes a Probe game, without one side having the advantage of the additional purchase points to un-seat the flag-sitter.

So I am working on a battle map that will be a 2-in-1 battle, somewhat in the spirit of Poor Old Spike's very fun Trident Tourney some months ago (he had 3 different sectors--city, village, and rural battlegrounds, if I remember right).

I am working on a map divided by a line of cliffs (it is intended to be 2 distinct and separate battles, but played at the same time). One side is a rural forested area, that also includes an island where assault boats could be used to set up over-watch units. The other side-by-side battle features a small town, complete with local factory, etc.

The kicker is, there will be NO flags. The battle area is fairly small, and the idea will be to tactically search out and destroy your opponent the best you can (only final casualty points will decide a winner).

I have no clue how to make this a tournament like POS used to do, with official Award icons to go to the entrants' personal page, etc. And I won't have the energy to make regular screen shots and battle reports, etc., etc. But it is something I'm working on nevertheless....
