1. With the Rise of Macedon tournament finishing, is there anything in the queue for another using FoG2 (I know about the FoG:M one)?

2. Regarding the Rise of Macedon tournament, are the aggregated results published on the forums anywhere? I am really curious about how the 3rd Round broke down, in terms of players winning with the Indian side.

Only on the tournament page. The scores stay up there forever. You will be able to see the information you want there, though you will need to add up the wins for each army yourself.

I can see the player scores, but I don't see a way to tag each score to which army that player had for that game. Is the top of the 2 players always the Macedonian in Game 1?

Yes.

One way I look at this is to look at completed games where the same player did not win both games. i.e. matchups where the same army won both games.

So far, if I have counted correctly, there seem to be

Macedonians 8
Indians 3

So yes, the Macedonians certainly appear to have an advantage, even on the current map with a large stream (counting as rough going).

I am not sure this necessary means that the Indian army is worse, but it certainly means it is harder to use than the Macedonian army, especially in this particular matchup.

Clearly the Macedonian advantage isn't insurmountable though, as many players won both their games.

Of course the whole point of using mirror matches in tournaments is that the armies don't have to be evenly matched - you get a better than average score by doing better than average with each matchup compared with all the other players, you don't necessarily have to win them all.

5 very large what-if battles from different time periods!

Example: Carthage sends help to Syracuse in 213: Lots of gold and a mid-sized expedition army.
(Syracuse with Carthaginian allies versus Rome)

I can think of several occasions where I would have liked a second crack at unfinished rounds as friendly matches with regular opponents. Please give it serious consideration for whichever of the FoG2 & Medieval tournament scenarios might still be found backed up in storage. Thank you.

I’m wondering if they could be staggered by one week so that those playing in both can manage time commitments a bit better? Hopefully this would encourage more players or at least better play.
