Conquer Club

Many players on the site have a ling time rivalry history, known by the whole community. One of the most known rivarlies are between Chariot of Fire and me. At first, our rivarly was not a frienly one and a lot of bad words were said between us, but in the meantime Chariot of Fire and me became great friends, even in our personal lives.

Even though Chariot of Fire has already retired from the site, he agreed to come back just for this challenge. Thank you CoF!

We play new and new games until someone comes to +11 wins or more, and then this player is winner.
For instance, we start with 11 games, match finishes 8-3, then we play 3 more games for possible finish of 11-3 but if finish 6-5 then we play 5 more games for possible finish of 11-5.
We don't start new round until all matches of previous round are finished.
Map order is shown below link, and I create all games to be first player joined so we use to know which color is ours in long term.

Rules of the challenge:
All games must be 1v1 (no poly allowed)
"Classic" settings of risk: escalating, adjacent, sunny, 30 rounds.
First-goer can only deploy on first turn (no attacks, no fort), and then second-goer starts to indeed play

Estimated starting date: September 6

P.S. I would be happy to play exactly the same challenge with the same rules vs xroads as well, if he is willing to accept my challenge. I am not inviting him directly to this challenge, but as he is stalking me around the site, I am 100% sure that this invitation will be seen by him.

P.P.S. I would be happy to play exactly the same challenge versus anyone who has positive head-to-head score vs me with at least 11 (1v1 and poly games combined) played and a positive head-to-head score. On top of my head, I remeber that players who satisfy this criteria are Nut shot scott, bigWham and narutoserigala and Bariclaw, but there are surely more players who satisfy the criteria.

Don't miss Smol Bean tho, forum is so much friendlier and happy atmosphere since he is not there "beaning around"..

I like you too, you know that.. but it would be stupid play for me to accept.. i joined 2 years ago and im still learning maps.. so i would not have a clue in half of the games AND those games i won't have a clue on are against....josko.ri

Edit: thinking on it - why not?

Not wanting to be the wiseguy here, but Colosseum can't be played, so 254 maps left of which 4 are only open during a certain time a year. (Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter & Christmas).

Good to have CoF temporarily back on the site.

Wishing you both good luck in the Challenge!

Thx, Ironmaid. So not 255 but 250...Okay, wanting to accept this badly.. hearth says you will learn, brain says your stupid as stupid goes .. so still thinking

After carefull consideration, thinking so well on it, sleeping a night over it (real short night) and giving it some deep tought: i have to decline. Brain and hearth say its stupid as stupid goes against Josko even on 250 maps..

Heart says go, but heart is ok with life expectency of 5 minutes in battle dying for Walhalla. Brain says "Walhalla?"

What about dubs? Love some Josko or COF vs …

Think this is brilliant btw…I could be a sloppy second member

Well, if I need to play dubs, I would rather choose communicative players such as GoranZ or IcePack for teammates than CoF.

Dubs games need communication and CoF is only playing by intuition, not any conmunication.

Thanks for luring CoF back to the site. This should be fun to watch!

CoF is a great communicator as long as you are communicating his thoughts .

If you need a dubs partner to play against MT, I am available .

oh really? lets do that challenge? What you say MT?
I am only concerned that this will make me a cook again, as loutil and me cumulatively have enourmous number of ranking points

I had to check our handful of games to see if this was sarcasm or not lol never been accused of being communicative before and wanted to make sure my reputation wasn’t tarnished.

Almost no chat in those games = reputation intact

A cooks hat would look good on you, but you wouldn't have it for long.

Absolutely…I think myself and COF or whoever would do just fine…who cares about points…who wins is key.

Our team name will be the cro cop fighters maybe

Edit: let me get nutshotscott …let’s go

500 games teaming with Josko...how can I not improve my play .

I've never had a problem with your game play...now your dice are a different matter entirely. You are the only person I've ever met who makes my rolls look "good."

You cheeky bugger! I've written more in game chat on this site than Stephen King has in a lifetime!

Very happy our paths crossed again on the occasion of your birthday and we started chatting again about a challenge we'd considered years ago.

Do we need to lay down some ground rules? I mean, there's freestyle and unlimited/no forts etc etc. Shall we keep it to 1v1 clan war rules which always seemed sensible. And what about starting? We could make it very equitable by having an equal amount of first turns (easy to do, just don't go first on home maps and waste the troops). I'm easy either way and could just as happily let Fate play her part

Great to see activity from a host of colleagues and friends - IM, Rock, Denise, Lou & MT

I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss this site, but have to add the break has been good and was very necessary (I've three children under 6 FFS!)

Roll on the good times and, of course, the dice in my favour

Love and best wishes to all
