Emperor of Aule
Short-Terminator Series
Congratulations to the Emperor of Aule - molespe
Details:
Amidst a series of uprisings throughout the Known World , the power of the High King is waning.
Having developed a range of fearsome weapons during recent times of peace, perhaps now is your chance to rally your troops and depose the High King.
The local seer has prophecised that the occupation of the High King will soon come to an end, and that your people will rule the Known World with a mightier empire. The seer's prophetic vision included an image of someone very much resembling yourself as an Emperor.
Is it your Destiny to become Emperor?
This tournament is another in a series of Short Terminator tournaments.
It is open to all players with a decent attendance record (see below).
Freemiums welcome (although three-games-at-a-time).
Tournament Format
Spoiler
Initial Stage
In Phase I, 20 players will undertake 3 battles in 4 groups of 5 competitors.
In each battle, the winning competitor will score 2 points. All players will also score 1 point for each termination.
The top 2 competitors* from each group will progress to the next round.
Third-placed competitors* will play-off against a 3rd-placed player from another group with the winner progressing.
Second Stage
In Phase II, 10 players will undertake 3 battles in 2 groups of 5 competitors.
In each battle, the winning competitor will score 2 points. All players will also score 1 point for each termination.
The top 2 competitors* from each group will progress to the next round.
Third-placed competitors* will play-off against the 3rd-placed player from the other group with the winner progressing.
Final Stage
In the Final Phase, 5 competitors will undertake 3 battles.
Points scoring will be as above (points are reset to 0).
The competitor with most points will be declared the Winner and High King.
In the event of competitors finishing with equal points, a tie-break battle will be played.
* In Phases I & II, if points do not determine automatic and play-off quaifiers then competitors will also be compared on the number of terminations, then number of rounds survived in the phase in question. If this does not prove to determine qualifying competitors then a tie-break battle will occur. In the event of a tie-break of more than 2 players determining more than 1 qualifying position, points, number of terminations, then order of elimination will be considered (i.e. last surviving players).

Spoiler
Fog of War will be present in all battles due to minimal military intelligence on Aule, and surprise attacks.
Given the limited speed of cavalry, chained reinforcements will be applicable.
Escalating spoils will be in place due to the rapidly accelerating popularity and recruitment methods of the battling warlords.
(Other settings will be Terminator, Sequential, No Trench, 20 Round Limit and Automatic)

Spoiler
Where Fog of War is present, the competitor who goes first in round 1 must either wait 10 hours before taking their turn, or inform their opponent(s) in game chat of any regions conquered during their first move, and where from. Failure to do either will mean the competitor in question is unable to score any points in the game.
If the turn is taken within 10 hours but no regions are conquered then no information need be left.
