KNT — The Knights Templar
Still rebuilding; they’ll battle hard but probably face relegation unless they land a few surprise wins.
Are you implying they'll create another division below 2nd just to put them in if they finish last? Rather mean-spirited, no?

Re: Highscore rank

This is not the army but rather a very imperfect system of attaching skill level to ranks that we all recognize. It's flawed but it makes sense. Ofc, some players are better than their ranks suggest because they're not afraid to play anyone on any map, while others guard their rank by specializing ...

Re: Doubles North America (WEEK 3)

@WILLIAMS5232, is it possible to get all games at once in the final, when its decided who goes through?

My partner detlef is going on a trip soon, and I would rather have him playing the final with me, then me playing "poly 2" for half of the final.

yes, it's possible, but if your opponent ...

Re: Age of Merchants bonus question

I believe so. You will receive 2 troops to each market it connects (so you will need a port "departing" from the bonus pair and a port "receiving" that has a market on that continent)

5 continents in total

So if you have resource pair Wine and Rum on the yellow island but you do not hold the ...

Age of Merchants bonus question

Hey y'all, please help me out with this:

If you hold both resources on an island but neither the factory nor the market on that same island, can you still get the "market on another island" bonus if you have a port on the first island and a port and market on another island?

Re: NO DICE?

If dice were done away with, it wouldn't be the same only better, it would be a stupid back and forth land-grab. The first player would split their attacks to all 4v3 and win all of them. They'd have to stop at 1 because they'd be looking at 3v3s (you haven't mentioned how to deal with these). Then ...

A solution to end gamesmanship in creation of games for clan

Many people think that being second to act in game creation for clan wars gives your clan an advantage and there's a lot of merit to that. Knowing what maps and settings your opponent chooses gives you insight into their strengths and may change what you were planning to use for your home maps.

Re: Change ELO based on map type

I play games on another site that, I feel, needlessly complicated ELO to the point where it's maddening. You often get less points for winning a 4 player game than you do for winning a H2H game and things like that. Yes, even when rankings are relatively equal. As such, I love the simplicity of how ...

Re: [CCXV] Round 2: A^ (24) vs OLDS (13)

The current score is a little deceptive and will tighten as the remaining games finish. Lots of tough battles in this war. OLDS has fought well and hasn't lost any juice off its fastball.
Well, it looks like you're still gonna drop 30 on them. Between that and them finishing middle of the pack in ...
