2010 Adjacent Attacks Tournament - Winner: OliverFA

[Ace Rimmer]

This tournament is for everyone who is interested in Adjacent Attacks (http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=51364). If you have never heard of the Adjacent Attacks proposed gameplay - it is very simple: Newly conquered countries cannot attack (including tapping/slimming a territory) for the duration of the turn they are conquered on. This means no kill-runs, but a lot of strategy about what your best moves should be and planning for the future. Resetting neutral territories (missile launch in Arms Race!, Parade Deck in The Citadel, etc) are exempt from this rule, they can be attacked out of when captured. Since this is not yet coded into the website, this is an HONOR-BASED RULE and means that you should pay attention to your moves carefully to not break the rules.

This tournament will run for the duration of 2010, with new game(s) being created every Monday before noon CST. This is a ladder-style tournament, so you only need to join as many games as you wish, and both premium and freemium players are welcome! I plan on starting the first batch of games on Monday, January 4th, 2010, and hopefully will have a game slot for everyone signed up for the first week. I will request tournament privileges once I have 16 entrants, but games will not start until January 4th.

Please respond here or PM me with ANY questions. I accept entrance based on posting here or PM to me.

I hope everyone enjoys this and we can publicize the Adjacent Attacks option enough to get Lack to code it into the game engine!

What happens with games that last a lot of turns? For example, look at this

Game 5586762

What about setting a turn limit and/or a domination victory condition?

For example, if a game reaches turn 50, domination victory condition gets enabled. From that moment, it won't be needed to conquer 100% of the territories. It will be enough to conquer 66% of territories.

Great idea, I impose this on all of my tournaments.

But a few ideas:

Sometimes, I have used or played in tournaments where the time limit means you "Go to BOB" and use the relative strength indicator. Only works for sunny though.

Or, I have played in tournaments where after a certain number of rounds the game just ends, no points for anyone.

How does the strength indicator even work? I've never trusted it...
