I just hacked and slashed my way to victory! It was an "in your face", brutish and simple strategy. Find the enemy and stab repeatedly until he stopped moving. Oh, and trying not to get stabbed myself......

With the proper and sufficient application of force, indeed, all things become possible. Heh heh.

Yeah, still four active games in this round, so I doubt if they will wrap up before the start of next week.

Round 1 there were

14 freemiums v 18 premiums

3 fvf = 3 freemiums advancing
5 pvp = 5 premiums advancing

8 fvp = 5 freemiums and 3 premiums advancing

this means it will be 8 v 8 next round

Imperium Romanum

Image

The classic example of plunder as the primary method of wealth transfer was the old Roman Empire. For hundreds of years, Romans lived in unearned splendor while booty from conquered territories streamed towards Rome and their other great cities. When the booty ran out, the essentially unproductive nature of the Roman economy began to show, and the cracks in the facade got larger and larger. This is one of several Roman maps we have on CC; I've chosen it because of its relative simplicity.

Settings: Escalating Spoils, Unlimited reinforcements, No Fog, No Trench.


Phase 2 games have been created and invitations sent out.

My valiant foe, Wizz00, was no match for my fearless greed and ruthless capitalist ways (and luck).

Qwertylpc stands in the way of my money, but he will surely fall--like the low-born Roman plebe that he is! String him to the horses and drag his body through the streets!

Yeah, that last round was brutal to the premiums. Only one advanced, and that was assured because he was playing another premium.
Every premium playing a fremium lost this last round. I smell a conspiracy!

Actually, two premiums advanced... Aussie and Ranban. But they play each other this round, so there will only be one.

I must say, I really had hoped that the freemiums would do well in this tournament, and you have exceeded my expectations!

Bravo, chaps! Well done thus far!

Now we turn up the heat and give you a more difficult map to play:

On this map you will demonstrate one of the key attributes of trade: it is not a zero-sum game. By transporting goods from disparate locations to the Factories and Markets where they are needed, you will gain ever-increasing rewards for them.

Settings: No Spoils, Chained reinforcements, No Fog, Trench.

No, no special rules like that, but you can always talk to your opponent before joining and in many cases he will agree to something.

Still, this round was not Foggy so there shouldn't be any worries.
