Zoom Out: Baghdad [Winner: JBlombier]
Posted: Fri Apr 19, 2013 3:36 pm
Congrats to JBlombier for winning this tourney!
This is the fourth tournament in a series I call Zoom Out.*
In this tournament, you’ll start small, conquering first a city and then zooming out gradually to battle for bigger and bigger territories until you conquer the entire planet. For my other similar tournaments, follow the links below.
*With apologies to BluU, who has run for some time an excellent series called "BluU's zoom into." Check it out.
Okay, here's how this works:
Maps
Round 1: Battle for Iraq!
Round 2: Gilgamesh
Round 3: WWI Ottoman Empire
Round 4: Alexander's Empire
Round 5: Middle East
Round 6: Dark Continent
Round 7: Eastern Hemisphere
Round 8: World 2.1
Settings
Standard, Sequential, Automatic, Escalating, Chained, Sunny, No trench, No limit
Format
Players will be divided (random.org) into four groups of six players each.
In Round 1, each group plays a single six-player game.
The first player eliminated is out of the tournament; the remaining five move on to the next map.
In Rounds 4, 6, and 8, the groups are shuffled and one is eliminated, like so:
Round 1: 4 groups of 6 players
Round 2: 4 groups of 5 players
Round 3: 4 groups of 4 players
Round 4: 3 groups of 4 players
Round 5: 3 groups of 3 players
Round 6: 2 groups of 3 players
Round 7: 2 groups of 2 players
Round 8: 1 group of 2 players
