RE Game 9953889

This was a round limit game. At the end I had 112 troops and 1 territory, and so did my opponent. The result was that I lost - WHY?

You 2 didn't even play.

I would assume a tie breaker is going first. Either way you 2 played a crap game.

If there is a tie, it will be broken based on the most regions. If there is still a tie, the winner is selected based on join order. This option is great for avoiding stalemates on no spoils games and can add some spice to the game as the deadline approaches, forcing the big guys to fight it out and giving the little guys a chance!

A game must have a winner and if two players are completely tied the creator of the game wins it. Why no one decided to attack is beyond me.

Thanks to those who responded. Some observations.

The game is baseball where the whole advantage is decided by who moves first especially heads up - effectively they lose. This was a six map series where my opponent chose the map. I learned that it was always fatal when going heads up to move first in three of the other games in this series, where i did move first and lost each time.

Other points from the above thread:

I can not say at this late stage who joined first, the log doesn't record it.

The game itself was created by neither of us, but by the event organiser.

Seems a bit of a joke map really for a tournament - but at least i learned something Baseball is my new Home map for every tournament I enter from now on. Wait for your opponent to move -and you win, wait for the Rounds to expire - and you win. Risk free guaranteed wins for those in the know!

Hmm, I don't know about that last remark (if you had attacked last round and not lost a troop, you would have won), but the map seems fatally flawed for 2-player games, agreed.

If the best strategy for the map is to just sit and wait forever until your opponent makes a move, it wouldn't have be cleared from beta! I don't know much about the map itself but I know a lot about the foundry and I find that very unlikely.

This. With a 1-0 roll against Babe (around 66% success rate), green could have won the game. Had that roll failed, you'd have a 111 v 1,1,15,112 to win it (more than 40%).

The mound "Bombards all pitchers" that's dumb, there is only ever one pitcher on the field. Who ever made this map didn't know much about base ball.
