    After a long time of hard work, I have the honor of being able to show you this great initiative which I am sure will give a new life to 0 A.D. and to the world of Real Time Strategy
    games.
    I present to you RTS Tournaments, a website expressly dedicated to creating competitions for RTS games, among which, of course, is our 0 A.D.

    RTS Tournaments was born thanks to the innate spirit of competition in this type of game and how it is wasted due to the fact that there is no decent organization that organizes game competitions as competitive as RTS.
     
    COMPETITIONS:
    RTS Tournaments will create various types of competitions (some more competitive than others). The first version of RTS Tournaments will feature the following competitions:
     
    -Weekly Cups: This type of competitions will be small tournaments (with no more than 16 players) with free registration. At first they will not have any prize. They will be small snacks to kill boredom! There will also be for teams!
     
    - Qualifying Cups: These types of competitions are more important! They will serve to classify you to high-level competitions.
     
    - Open Ranking: This competition is somewhat special. Once you register in it you will have to play two games a week until the end of the season. The top 3 ranked players will immediately qualify for the Grand Champions League (GCL).
     
    -Grand Champions League: In this competition the best players of the game will fight to prove who is the absolute champion of 0 A.D. It will be a league made up of 8 classified players. In this first season, the competitors will have to qualify by playing the GCL Qualifiers (8 in total), but from the first GCL the players will be classified as follows: The last four players Open ranked players + the winner of a single GCL Qualifier will be selected to compete in the GCL.
     
    (I thought about doing a team GCL, but I think more players are needed than those who currently play 0 A.D. so it is not ruled out in the future.)

    COMPETITIONS WITH MONETARY PRIZES:

    From RTS Tournaments we think that the existence of competitions with monetary prizes would be a great success, since this would attract the great sleeping players of the game as well as other titans from other RTS.

    a) FREE COMPETITIONS WITH A MONETARY PRIZE: It would be great to do a weekly competition like this, but for now we can't afford it. But without a doubt, we promise to do it when we have the necessary financial resources to do so.

    Right now RTS Tournaments only generates expenses, due to the fact that we have to pay for web hosting, domains, designs, etc. But when we have a stable economy we promise to do it!

     

    EVENTS:

    RTS Tournaments will organize various events for the community such as:

    - Challenges! Where a top player who wants to can spend an afternoon playing live annotated games on twitch against community players who request it through twitch chat.

    - Prizes for the best 1v1 player

    - Best tg player awards

    - etc.

    SOCIAL MEDIA:

    At RTS Tournaments we don't want to limit ourselves to being a mere competition portal, but rather we want to go one step further, which is why we have social networks like YouTube and Twitch where we will upload a large amount of quality content. We want to commit to uploading a daily video at least!

    We will also have twitter where we will be posting the latest news.

    -YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RTSTournaments

    -Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/rtstournaments

    -Twitter: https://twitter.com/RTSTournaments

     

     

    BADGES AND TITLES:

    From RTS Tournaments we propose a system of qualifications which are awarded to players based on their skills and performance in competitions.

    Our proposal:

    LM (Lobby Master) Obtained by having a score of 2100 or higher in the 0 A.D. lobby.

    NM (National Master) Awarded for being among the top six players in the GCL in any of its seasons.

    IM (International Master) It is obtained by being among the first three players of the GCL in any of its seasons.

    GM (Grand Master) Obtained at a special event every 6 months.

     

    These badges would appear in front of your name in RTS Tournaments and probably in the 0 A.D. lobby itself. so that all players can recognize the skill of that player as well as motivate others to achieve it. EX: (LM)ValihrAnt (2372)

    These are our proposals but they can be modified to suit the community.

     

    FUTURE EVENTS:

     In case RTS Tournaments achieves its goals, we have great ideas in mind such as making a world championship by country or region.

     

    COMMUNITY ASSEMBLY:

    At RTS Tournaments we want the community to show us the path to follow, so every Monday we will upload a post so that, the community can propose changes within our website, modifications to some rules, new ideas for competitions, etc.

    Later we will upload a small newsletter where we will inform about the news about RTS Tournaments, the changes proposed by the community and the changes made, as well as some statistics that may be interesting for our users.

     

    DO YOU WANT TO BELONG TO RTS Tournaments?:

    We are currently looking for a person who wants to create content in English for our official YouTube and Twitch channels, so if you are interested, have a good microphone and feel like it, send me a private message through here to chat more in detail.

    We also want to have affiliated content creators, who if they wish, can upload videos to the official RTS Tournaments channel explaining strategies, balance changes, etc, so if you, as a youtuber from 0 A.D. would you like to upload videos from time to time to the official channel send me a private message.

    Finally, we are also looking for RTS Tournaments moderators to help me in the lobby to answer questions and resolve conflicts that may arise within the competitions.

     

    ECONOMICS OF RTS Tournaments:

    RTS Tournaments is an organization made by and for the community, for this reason we do not have funding of any kind beyond what I as a natural person am putting so that RTST can become a reality.

    RTS Tournaments will be financed in several ways:

    - Donations: Being a community project, at first, we will not have more funding than that given by the community itself, therefore all donations are appreciated, and will be used to improve the services of RTS Tournaments, in addition to allowing the existence of monetary prizes in competitions.

    - Social Networks: RTS Tournaments will upload quality content to social networks such as YouTube and Twitch. We currently have a channel with more than 7k subscribers on YouTube, so we think we can monetize that channel in order to generate at least 30 or 50 euros to use in prizes for competitions.

     

    While we receive donations, RTS Tournaments will make their expenses public so that all users can see how each penny is spent.

  9. Day and Night on 0 A.D.?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hello everyone, how are you!

    The reason for this post is to ask you what you would think of the implementation of a dynamic lighting system in 24-minute loops (one minute being equivalent to one hour) in which the lighting changes little by little, darkening and lightening the lighting of the game depending on whether it is day or night.

    It would be necessary to implement night textures for the buildings, with torches for example.

    I think this would be great for 0 A.D. and it would significantly increase the strategy of the game since you may be more interested in attacking at night when there is less light, sacrificing a little the speed of your boom. ^^

    What do you think? Good day :D

    I suppose it's just a Google Translate plugin. It probably has little to do with the forum system itself.

    The thing is that it gets traduced without me wanting it, and when i awnser your message, it becomes to spanish hahah

    Es curioso que en realidad esperaba que tu próxima publicación contuviera la frase "sentido común". Cuando te quedas totalmente devastado por los hechos y los argumentos, ¿qué más puedes hacer que tratar de descartar eso usando frases vagas? ¿Quizás también agregar algunos emoticonos más para enfatizar? Por supuesto, también puedes intentar ponerme palabras en la boca y acabar con todo con consejos de vida no solicitados. Tomo todo esto como una forma inusual de expresar acuerdo a través de una negación emocional.

    Hay algunos datos más para ti:

    • Solo eres tú quien se refiere regularmente a esta clasificación de oro / plata / bronce. Además, nunca he visto a nadie excepto a ti afirmar que eres un "jugador de plata", sin embargo, hay incluso un hilo en el que varios más reputados no están de acuerdo con eso. Solo eres tú quien lo pone obsesivamente en todas las demás publicaciones. Esto me hace pensar si me respondes, o si esa es una discusión que solo tienes contigo mismo.
    • Las cosas no se convierten en un hecho cuando las repites con más frecuencia.
    • Decir que no le importa el rendimiento de TG después de que acabamos de discutir eso en función de las repeticiones que publicó no hace que los resultados se vean mejor para usted.

     

    Por cierto, Stockfish, lo siento por secuestrar tu hilo. Espero que lo disfruten.

    Don't worry Boudie, that low must be awnsered :D

    This reminds me of the thread where we voted for the best team player, the most overrated player etc. I don't want to be so negative about this, but I don't believe the ratings might be of any high value because:

    • Medium players get affected a lot by the displayed ELO rating, and when they do the rating, a high-ELO player will get high-rated in all the categories (in other words, the winner takes it all). I realized this when people voted one of the best players as the best team player. If you take away the booming, multitasking and micro skill difference, there would be many more players that could win the category. Think players like Issh, who know about the team play.
    • Typical players don't even remember how good others play. I realized this when I hid my rating in the game and some people I've been playing with for years started asking what my rating is. Hard to believe.
    • You have to understand the game well to judge the gameplay well. But the good players already know other good players, so they might not consider it useful to rate them.

    I'm now thinking, Stockfish, if this isn't about your teaching experience that you have this ambition to rate (grade) players like this. ;)

    :)

  21. Rating our TOP PLAYERS

    in General Discussion

    Hello everyone! Recently, I had an idea that may be funny an interesting, and it is to rate the TOP PLAYERS in some areas to get a final conclusion about all of them.

    The 6 areas where we're are gonna rate them are: MULTITASKING (How many task is this player able to make at same time) BOOM (Hell, you all know what's boom) MICRO (Capacity of managing units meanwhile fighting) DEFENSE: (Capacity of defending when attacked) ATTACK: (I think i won't explain how to clean your a*s after shi*ting) and the last one IQ&CREATIVITY (Making big plans, nice plays etc)

     

    The way to valorate them is from 0-10 (being 0 the worst and 10 the best)

    Example: borgfish

    MULTITASKING: 10

    BOOM: 10

    MICRO: 10

    DEFENSE: 10

    ATTACK: 10

    IQ: 10

    Let's make it with some top players and let's see what does everyone think of them as players!

    I propose: borg- , feldfeld , ValihrAnt , Stockfish , DoctorOrgans , chrstgtr , ElDragon , Schweinepriester , superPOSITION , Boudica , PhyZic

    If you want you can make a little comment of the ones you choose to rate!
