I would like to play in one but only ever hear about finished games in the forum - how do you get in one?

You can get the flavor from this thread about the first Battle Royale:

http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4468

Basically it's a game with an unusually large number of players (40 +).

It seems to be announced in the Tournaments forum, so I guess you can watch that forum for the next announcement.

Apparently there is only one going on at a time so I guess you can keep track of the current one and then when it ends watch the Tournaments forum for an announcement of the next one.

So that's Simtom's plan! Get Lack to remove the 100 point cap, join Battle Royale 4, and win millions of points! It all makes sense now!

Is there a rank limit or else?

I don't think so. The first Battle Royale ran the gamut from private to colonel.

I think if you find out about it in time to join, you're in.

Like most things in life I'm sure some people get a heads up.

I mean I wouldn't mind the winner getting 300-500 ish points cuz it is a huge battle but getting over thousands of points?? Doesn't that seem to throw off things a bit?


I got a solution: terminator. Or would that be too crazy. I suppose all the best players would be eliminated immediately for points

The end date has arrived. gibbom has 1574 points, which I predicted would yield about 3885 points total after he wins it. Let's see how close I was!

yes, with a high degree of luck and a smaller degree of skill I've made it to the top of the leaderboard while still a major. I think I'll be struggling to keep there for the 120 games I need to make general though. Particularly as my doubles partner, Genghis Khan CA has dumped me cos I now cost him too many points if we lose :lol:

For me being in the next one, it's not a question of need, it's a question of when :wink:

so technically if you are about to win a battle royal (ie you and 1 other person remain and the other person is trapped with only 1 country) then you desperately go on a losing streak and the amount of points that you lose you then gain about 25 times over by winning BR?

i'd say pull a simtom or now more appropriately a subtile and you are supreme leader who literally couldn't ever be beaten except by another BR winner....

Possible but if I were the other player I would just deadbeat
