My game is now over 48 hours and 4th player has not joined. Looks like he has 4 full slots.

You can use the "Game Finder" and search by Tournament name for "Premium Giveaway 2" and you'll see the 8 games. I've been watching (my game was the first to end, so I had nothing else to do), but unfortunately it isn't very exciting, because the fog of war means that the only stat you can see is the number of territories held.

i'd be happy to hear all your thoughts on future settings. PG3 will likely be trips and i suspect PG4 will be quads.

Since it's all random, Can't the second round be quadruples? 4X4 = 16.

if you do not keep a spot open while the other games finish i WILL boot you from the tournament.

i realise that seems harsh but i am offering premium so i expect you all to abide by that 1 rule in return. for the record, 2 players have already been booted. i'd prefer not to boot any more.

Imo. It would be better if we had doubles with 3 teams each round.
Team against team makes luck the highest factor but with 3 teams we have a "3 kingdom" situation so attacking one may result at some unwanted giving a better range of strategies and moves.

In short. if there's only two teams competing it will make the game less strategic and more luck based.


Of course the tournament would need more teams since only one would pass to next stage but you only need a multiple of three. At the last battle however one team would win and the losers could compete agains each other for the second place.

it was hard enough to get the players i got and that 3 kingdoms type games would go on and on. that's not such a bad thing for premiums but if other games finish early and those players have to keep a slot open for weeks then problems could arise.

anyhow, only 1 game from round 2 remaining.

3 kingdoms type games are finished more or less in round ten. So it's not a big wait.
But the way it's been played it's good too. I'm in for strategy more than luck however.

i will be doing more of these so i'll keep your suggestion of 6-player dubs in mind.
