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.

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.

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

this is to inform you that i won game # 10062177 against tom564.

oh - i forgot to add that my opponent went first.

I won all three of my games against [player]Araldite[/player], but I did go first in all three.

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.

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

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

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.

moving on after a tough first rd

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

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!

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

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

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

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.

Just waiting on one last game!

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

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

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

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