Hello, one and all, and welcome to the first ever official
Adjacent Attacks Tournament!Your gracious hosts:
n00blet and
lancehochThis Tournament is based on the Adjacent Attacks rule set, as is defined and discussed in this thread:
http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=51364These rules are as follows:
Newly conquered countries cannot attack for the duration of the turn they are conquered on.
For example, if lancehoch conquers Country A from n00blet in Round 4, then Country A cannot make any attacks until Round 5.
In the event of mid-turn spoils-cashing, the troops received can be deployed on any regions as normal, but all regions are still restricted as they were at the beginning of the round.
Of course, these rules will not be upheld by the game engine itself. Each player who signs up for this tournament is required to limit their attacks to conform to the aforementioned rules for the entirety of every game played for the tournament. Any rules violation at any point in any game will result in the player automatically receiving 0 points for the game.
Each game log will be inspected by either myself or lancehoch, so do not try and break the rules when no one is looking
Any player in any game that sees another player has broken the rules should post in the tournament thread, specifying the player, game, and round the infraction occurred. This will aid in our inspections, as these games tend to last a little bit longer than the average 4-player.
For the final round, any games with Fog enabled will be completely inspected at the conclusion of the game, and if any infractions are found, the game will be redone as a 3-player with the offending player removed.
This tournament will consist of 16 players, separated into 4 equally sized groups. Each round, every group will play 4 4-player games. The scoring for each game will be as follows:
1st Place: 4 points
2nd Place: 2 points
3rd Place: 1 pointAt the end of each round (after all 4 games have been completed), each player's score will be tallied, and the top two players from each group will advance to the next round. In the case of a tie, the following tiebreakers will be used, in this order: most wins, most eliminations, least amount of rounds taken to win.
Each round will be played 2 games at a time, so Freemium members may join, as long as they leave 2 spots open for this tournament.
For every game played in the first two rounds, the set settings will be:
Sequential
No FogEach player chooses the map, card, and fortification settings for their one game pick. These decisions will then be the 4 games played by the group in that round. The settings can be changed or left the same between rounds.
However, for the final (third) round, players will also have the option of choosing if they would like to have Fog of War on or not.
Good Luck!
. Maybe we should say that if they win the game because of that move, the game is redone? Although it's hard to tell sometimes when exactly the game turns around. If it's a clear-cut case then I suppose a warning and game redo would be fair.
