It would be badass to have a themed tournament. Using a campaign with several scenarios. Maybe a 5-scenario campaign where players fight for terrain (scenarios) and the outcome is based on who wins the whole campaign.

Stuff is afoot. I could tell you, but then... well, you know

Cheers

A multiplayer Campaign would work, but is the game capable of remembering a players force pool?

Will it remember that Player X's M4 Sherman platoon was destroyed in the lst map?

I feel like the single player Campaigns arent like that.

No there is no way to do that kind of thing. Tournaments are somethinw e're looking in to. See the Field of Glory beta tournament we just started.

Now that sounds like fun

Will we need to wait until the FoG beta has run before we get to play

Thanks Ian!

Just went through the FoG Beta Tournament sticky and sounds quite interesting if applied to BA. I am enjoying this game MP more than any other gaming i can remember in a long, long time.

Can´t wait for the Tournament to start!

We need to do game side code to allow for tournaments so its on the list but not in the next few weeks.

i was thinking along the lines of a players run tournament.would not be hard to do.just need sombody to pair everybody off.then those two players get together and one picks the scenario then the other side gets to pick which side he wants to be

Sounds great - feel free to organise this! You will probably need to play paired games to keep it fair. E.g. Play 2 games, one from each side on the same map and combine results for an overall score. This way no matter how unbalanced a map you can get a real result.

how many days would you let go before a player automatically loses for lack of moving?

Post by **IainMcNeil** » Mon Sep 06, 2010 1:58 pm

We usually set a time when a game must be completed by. People have to play in the spirit of the game and if they cant keep up dont enter or withdraw. We'd usually say a few days to a week is enough to complete a game.
