Usually I would take a jab at CC if I felt they did something out of bounds.

But I have played a lot of online games. a LOT

A separate pay and play tournament is not out of line and probably not utilized enough here.

The Giants in browser games have done this for years. And it works AND most people have a great time doing it.

May I just add that I used the consolation prize from the first Conquer Cup to get here. It's been fun so far, looking forward to a competitive final game!

Congrats to the fourth and final Finalist of Conquer Cup II...

rutty

Rutty stumbled in Round 1, but sailed with wins due to the Second Chance Round!

Round 1 - Game 10554516
Round 2 - Game 10595758
Round 3 - Game 10677447
Round 4 - Game 10734543
Round 5 - Game 10907302

==============

So it looks like 2 of our Finalists took advantage of the Second Chance Round, while the other 2 breezed on through! It is great to see the addition of the Second Chance Round having an impact on the Finals!

Best of luck to all the Finalists, and thanks for playing to all the participants of Conquer Cup II as well!

Congrats. It is nice that none of the cup semi-finalists and onward repeated yet.

Congrats. There was a little discussion about bad play making it a matter of going after the player that messes up. Wasn't the case in my two games.

In round 1 I won a hard fight where only one new player played poorly. In round 3, I made the first elimination, ended the turn with plenty of armies. The next morning I was eliminated, but as it turns out the fourth player won in the end. I did my best and was outplayed.
