Legions Triumphant Tournament

[Daniele]

Will you defend the Empire, or will you fight it?

You’ll have the chance to answer to this question very soon, as the Field of Glory II Legions Triumphant Tournament is open to recruitment!

100 generals are requested for this great task, and we are sure that none of you will avoid it!

Join here!


The Tournament is composed of 3 rounds:

Romans vs Dacians - North Europe Wooded - circa 100 AD

Romans vs Palmyrans - Middle East Agricultural - circa 270 AD

Romans vs Huns North Europe Agricultural - circa 450 AD



The first round is set to start on Monday 19th



Most of the armies are from Legions Triumphant, but you do not need it to play so everyone is invited to join and participate!

The scoring system is as follows:
· If a game runs to the turn limit, each side scores points equal to the enemy % routed at the turn limit. If the game times out, adjustments may be made, depending on how far the game has progressed and who took longer over their turns – see below.
· If one army breaks, the victorious player scores 60 points plus the difference between the enemy % routed and his own % routed. The loser scores points equal to the winner's % routed.

Examples:
1) If Ben defeats Tamas's army, and has inflicted 45% routed on Tamas, and Tamas has inflicted 15% on Ben, Ben will score 60 + (45 – 15) = 90, Tamas will score 15.
2) However, if Ben defeated Tamas’s army by inflicting 62% routed on Tamas, and Tamas had inflicted 56% routed on Ben, Ben would get 60 + (62 – 56) = 66 points, and Tamas would get 56.
3) If the game is unfinished (or it reached the turn limit) with Ben inflicting 20% routed on Tamas, and Tamas inflicting 10% routed on Ben, Ben would score 20, and Tamas would score 10. (Provided that between them they have played at least 24 turns in all – see below).
Note that this system rewards aggressive play over desultory skirmishing. If you rout an enemy unit then hide for the rest of the game, both players will get extremely low scores - lower than if they played hard and lost.

Byes:
If an odd number of players sign up for the tournament, one player will get a bye in each round. In the first round this is random. In subsequent rounds it will be the player with the lowest score. The score for a BYE is 75 points for each game.

Round times and timing out:
Each round will last 10 days.
Any battles that are not completed by the end of the round will be timed out. The player who has had the game in his “My Turns” box the longest overall will be the one who is deemed to be timed out. This will not normally incur any penalties, unless insufficient turns have been played: If the timed-out player has played less than 12 turns, his score will be reduced proportionately, and his opponent will be granted the BYE score if it exceeds his current score. If the timed-out player has played less than 6 turns, he will not be included in the draw for the next round. This is to prevent someone else’s enjoyment being spoiled by being drawn against someone who has apparently dropped out of the tournament.

Another tournament? I'd better get my barbarian on.

What does 'Patrician' mean?

Ben is showing his grognard credentials. It means Roman 425-492 AD

The battles are set up automatically by the tournament system. You should find the one where you are side A in your "My Turn" tab in the MP Lobby in game.

Have you looked in the My Turn, Enemy Turn and Completed tabs?

[eddieballgame]

I did...have never had a problem with any mp game, till now.

Right, I will notify the tournament support people, they can hopefully find out what the problem is.

[paulmcneil]

Think I may have found a bug, was in the middle of a tourni game, left it active (without saving) to do something else, came back after about 20 mins. found that the unit I had highlighted ready to deliver a charge, was unmovable, i.e. as if it had ben moved, tried clicking on the units "redo move" arrow, but no arrow appeared. is this a bug? Also tried saving game, then going back into it, but no use.

This is being investigated. The games are in the database and we cannot currently find the reason why they are not showing in game. We have to wait for the engine programmer to take a look, and he is in Canada so not in the office yet for several hours.

[eddieballgame]

Thank you, I will check later today.
