The Life Of Frederick Barbarosa [WINNER Enormastitz]

[multiplayertim]

My idea is to have 3 rounds which follow the life of Frederick Barbarosa

1st round

His rise to the throne of German King which will be played on the Germany map.
The 1st round will have 32 players divided into 8 groups of 4. Each group will play a match on the Germany map with the winner advancing to the next round. Players will be assigned groups randomly.

2nd round

His conquest of Italy ultimately leading to him being crowned Holy Roman Emperor by Pope Adrian IV. This will be played on the Italy map. The eight remaning players will be randomly divided into 2 groups of 4. Each group will play 3 times on the map with points being awarded for finish position. 1st 10 2nd 6 3rd 4 4th 2. The top 2 players from each group advance to the next round.

3rd round

Frederick Barbarosa's journey ended on his way to the holy land to try and preserve the christian occupation of the holy land and to recapture the holy city of Jerusalem. He drowned in a river in Turkey. As we don't have a Turkey map I've decided to use the middle east map as it includes both the place of his death and his intended destination. The final four will play 2 games with a player eliminated each time to reach a final. The final two will play a best of 3 with one game on each map (Germany, Italy and the middle east)


The settings for all games and maps will be Automatic, Sequential, Escalating, Chained, No Fog. The 1st round groups will be announced once 32 players have signed up

You've gotta play a game on 3rd Crusade.

Barbarossa was actually on the 3rd Crusade when he drowned...

There's no way you can play a tourney about him without that map!

[multiplayertim]

Wasn't aware of that map I'll have a look at it. Just looked at it there that map is more of a total 3rd crusade map than I want for this tournament I want to concentrate on Barbarossa for this one I considered playing the final on the Holy Roman Empire Map but I think the three maps better enforce the journey from start to finish of his life. I may perhaps make a crusades tournament later on that would better describe the entire 3rd crusade including Richard the Lionheart of England and Philip the II of France

[Commander62890]

Yeah, most of Barbarossa's army turned around and went home when he died, so the 3rd Crusade had less to do with him than it should have.

Fair enough!

[multiplayertim]

I appreciate your comments the 3rd crusade it was a very interesting time period. Its a pity Barbarossa never made it to the battlefield
