Lol, with your maps, looks like a lot of these will be(and are being) decided by who goes first

The fairest 1v1 maps are also the most complicated, so I wanted a map that was somewhat large to provide chances for both sides, but not so complicated as to scare people away (trying to make this a fun and accessible tournament). Perhaps if people end up liking the format I'll run a second one with more complicated settings.

game # 10062190 - it is now sunday night and my opponent still has not appeared. can you get him on board, or get a replacement, or simply give me a win.

[Leehar]

Idk, I'm just seeing in such large maps where you're starting with 5-8 troops on your first turn, it seemingly gives an even more impregnable advantage? the propensity to destroy your opponent before he starts seems to be huge

I agree, but on the flip side it's much easier to play strategically and come back from a deficit when you have 6 troops vs your opponent's 8, whereas in a smaller map coming back from a 3 vs 5 deficit is much harder, since you're at almost a 2:1 disadvantage. There have actually been quite a few games where the person going 2nd has won, I'm keeping a tally on the first page and will send out statistics at the end of each round.

[Night Strike]

I went 2nd in all 3 games but won 2 of the 3. I have a 3-1 lead by my count.

[musicalmaven]

[Dukasaur]

[gameplayer]

I'm busy tonight but should be able to update friday night or saturday morning, expect new invites then if you haven't gotten them already.

[musicalmaven]

this is to inform you that i won game 10062185 against tom564, to take both games against him.

[musicalmaven]

oops, again - i forgot to say that he went first in both games.

[angola]

What are the damn odds that I have to go second in all five games in the first round?

I'm about to be knocked out because of it.

[ultraman]

moving on after a tough first rd

Nevermind. I rallied in a very tough first-round matchup.

[gameplayer]

we're a little more than halfway done with the first round. I've been updating once every day or two, check the scores on the first page to see how you stand!

[gameplayer]

Up to date again, just a couple first round matches remaining.

[Dukasaur]

Well, it took six games, but I've finally slugged my way through to the next round...

[Theldin]

Talk about odds stacked against me....I went 1st on only 1 out of 8 games.

[Theldin]

Well...with the odds stacked against me, I was able to pull off a win in that round.

Went 1st in only 1 out of 8 games, and was able to win 5.5 points to 4 points.

[gameplayer]

Just waiting on one last game!

[musicalmaven]

this is to inform you that i won games # 10389752 and 753 against reahma.

[mviola]

It should be 2-1 me over harvmax. You have the score flipped.

[gameplayer]

all up to date again. Apologies for the scoring mistakes and thanks to those of you who have messaged me or posted in this thread to correct me. It's a big tournament and I'm just one guy, so if it looks like I've made a mistake it's probably because I have

[musicalmaven]

this is to inform you that i won game # 10389751 to complete the sweep of reahma.
