This league is aimed at people like myself who are looking for opportunities to play FoG2 casually and socially, yet in an organised way. The competitive part comes naturally, from the victory conditions. The idea is a "constant" ("ever"-lasting or ever-green) league, based on challenging each other along a table; fighting battles and switching positions (depending on battle results) as well as always switching armies with each other (yes, always, after battle, independent of battle results) to create variety over time. The social part is not at all about having a strict conversation each turn on the chat. Just the type of chat that I've been having in my games with most of you guys (no names) and have come to enjoy so much (and is part of why I play FoG2): light, friendly, on- and off-topic (FoG2 as well as real life stuff), when we have something to say. Not really commenting every turn with at least 256 letters... But what I do want to avoid is the 100% competitive oriented approach, where the chat starts with "GL HF" and ends with "GG" and nothing in between, if you understand what I mean. The league comes in three separate sections, with armies covering a specific year (300 BC, 500 AD, and 900 AD), and this thread refers to the 500 AD section.

(Players in green aren't involved in any ongoing game, whereas players in red are.)

If you haven't yet joined but are interested and agree with the vision above and the rules, you can always do so even as the league has now started. Then write which army to start with in a post in this thread, preferably along with a PM to me. (It's not an ever-green commitment for you, since rules allow you to join, leave, and rejoin.) Once I've put you in the table, then you're good to go!

EDIT: No new entrants until after summer, since the EGL will be taking a summer break and checking the interest end of August.

Ownership of the Legions Triumphant and Age of Belisarius DLCs is required to play Ever Green League 500 AD.

Games (whether ongoing or concluded) are presented below, with the challenger first and the challenged second, and the armies they played with.

So you're off, Karvon: first guy out challenging in 500 AD! Great!

You allowed rbodleyscott the full 1600 FP though? Since difference in places between you two is 2, he'd be entitled to only 1560 FP. But if you're fine with 1600 FP, no problem: just wanted to highlight this, in case you had forgotten or didn't know.

Ah, ok. Maybe next time, when you realise those 40 FP made all the difference... Anyway, have fun!
