League start 18.5.2025. League end 21.6.2025

Playoffs - July 2025

Alexander is dead!

The world has changed completely, the wheels of history have flown from their axis!
You are one of his chosen successor, empowered by blood relation or by the Partition of Babylon, or perhaps by your own ambition

Welcome to the Diadochi tournament!

A Swiss system tournament where a league will be used, in which you will play a minimum of 7 opponents. You can use your Macedon army or use your diplomatic and clandestine guile to foment invasions and rebellions deploying any of your 4 Xenos/Heteregen armies against your opponent up to 3 times.

3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, none for a loss. The first 4 players will go to single-round elimination playoffs! The can only be one Nikator!

Can you reunite the Empire before it falls completely Diadochus?
Turn Limit: 30
Army Size: 2000x2000
Width: 58 Height: 58

The regions is a god-forsaken place for terrain no re-rolls! The map size should be sufficient.

CHOOSE 4 DIFFERENT NUMBERS BETWEEN 1 AND 31
This for your 4 random HETEROGENES/XENOS ARMIES which you can deploy in 3 battles.

No Romans, Western Greeks or Carthaginians. Just historical armies which were involved at some point in the three successor wars or ones that do a good job of proxy-ing them.

Asterix will organize the rounds for the tournament and assign random realistic terrain to all of your battles.
