The Emperor of Europe is an immortal, mythical figure, conqueror of all of the old empires of Europe as well as the Eastern Empires that attempted to stretch into Europe.
The Emperor will be the conqueror of all time, having taken control of Empires through thousands of years.
This tournament follows the Freestyle King of Europe (and incorporates lessons learnt from that tournament) and will be a pre-cursor to a potential Terminator World Championship (to determine the Ruler of the World) with regional qualifying groups. This is NOT the qualifying stage for that tournament however.
As with the Freestyle King of Europe, and akin to the American Leader tournament, this tournament is only open to Europeans.
With Europeans playing others from a similar time zone, and a relatively low number of players in each group, players will hopefully have regular turns.
Details: Ancient Empires and Invading Empires from the East (First Phase): Five Groups of 5, top 3 go through. All games Terminator, Freestyle, Flat Rate, Adjacent, Fog. Each group will play 5 games on Ancient Greece, Alexander’s Empire, Imperium Romanium, Mongol Empire and Middle East maps.
Western European Empires Emerging from the Medieval Period (Second Phase): Three Groups of 5, top 2 go through, plus, the two best-placed 3rd-place players will progress. All games Terminator, Sequential, Escalating, Adjacent, Fog. Each group will play 5 games on Iberia, France, Netherlands, British Isles and New World Maps.
The Rise of the Star and Fascism (Semi-Final Phase): Two Groups of 4, top 2 go through, plus the best-placed 3rd-place player. All games Terminator, Sequential, Flat Rate, Adjacent, Fog. Each group will play 4 games on Soviet Union, WWII – Eastern Front, Germany and WWII – Western Front maps.
The Union of Europe (Final) 5 players. All games Terminator, Sequential, Flat Rate, Adjacent, Fog. The final will 4 games played on the Europe and Europa maps (2 games on each). If, after 4 games, players are tied on points the Emperor of Europe will be determined by a best-of-three play-off on the Europe map.
The data for ALL of my tournaments has potentially been lost. I am working to recover it but as I am away on business all of this week, there will be some delay. Sincere apologies.
