While I like your enthusiasm organizing a tournament I would like to point you to the header of this forum which states "wildfire games", @MarcusAureliu#s . Since - as far as I know - you are not part of the wildfiregames team I would like to request you remove the "official" (and variations thereof) from your posts. (I guess we can live with the image of rules but please be considerate what you are saying in the future ).

With that in mind I wish you a great competition and all participants an exciting time

Are you refering to " oficially registered teams "  @FeXoR? It was not my intention to suggest these were approved by wildfire games, it is just counting the sign ups in this thread, "official" just as far as the organisation of this particular tournament goes. I didnt mean any offence, and will remove those words to avoid misunderstandings. Please just let me know what i should adjust in order to avoid evoking false impressions.

ban

Looks good, @MarcusAureliu#s , Thanks

And as this thread is about this particular tournament's organization I think it should be clear where to request or announce stuff for this competition.

Best of luck and lots of fun

[LeGenDz]

@Boudica or @ anyone —— I’m looking to join a team for the tournament. I bring w/me decent skill, OP jokes, and a positive attitude.

What do you think using wooden wall like on the video?

Is it a cheat or normal? Want to learn your opinions guys. 

For me its more cheat because using beyond its intended purpose.

Hm,  i think this is kind of abusing pathfinding system. I think you can though give manually orders to destroy the foundations. I think walling is an aspect in AoE 2 i am not playing that though.  but i think it is no cheating as you can prevent quite well by paying attention.

edit: seeing the end wall spamming kind of seems problematic

Edited May 23, 2020 by MarcusAureliu#s

[LeGenDz]

Might be avoided by making the palisade walls cost more. It’s very cheap to spam them.

Not cheat, but what I see is only 7 rams and no army, having 50 skirmishers killing those builders would solve de problem

[Boudica]

I really hoped that there would be some more strategy talk before the league starts. There have been a few more players that wanted to join and we could get more fun out of it if we made more and better teams first. 

[MarcusAureliu#s]

probably we are going to do something like test week

Alternatively you can play matches at later point this week and rest could make t7 with bye week this week

If those are teams Im going to evaluate them the most  subjective im able  [course will try be objective]

1-2 total noob
2-4 average
5-6 best average but still weak
7-8 very good
9-10 OPs

May Gods - fpre (8.5), MarcAurel (7), Lord_Commander (6.5), randomid (7.5) = total rank 28.5
French -  Dakara (7.5), esu(6), Metafondations(7), Dakeyras (7)  = 27.5) 
Cyborgs [eae em]:    Badosu(7.5), Stockfish(9), Borg(9.5) , Vicentesk(7) = 34
Goats                         ValihrAnt(10), Phyzic(9), Issh(7), Edwarf(8), aow(6) =  34
Los Gringos:  chrstgtr(8.5), Rauls(9), SaidRdz(7.5), Ricsand(7.5) =32.5
???                    Boudica(9.0), UnknownPlayer(8),  Havran(7.5), go2die(6.5) = 31

Thats my guess

I think palisades should be designed to stop men/cav only not sieges. The current issue is that it is too easy to accumulate huge amount of palisades for very cheap in a very small amount of time/space. As LeGenDz said maybe slower construction speed or other modifications could be nice to reduce palisades spam.  It would reward more anticipation over micro but for this particular problem, I don't really see what you could have forbidden Stockfish to do.

I agree. Thank you for giving your opinion. Slower construction speed is a good idea. Maybe they will change it for next alpha in this way.

[Stockfish]

@Unknown_Player you finally posted it.

Palisades are good like they are. What i did is good, but then i got punnished becouse of space , and it was more difficult to me to do eco after the walls spam. And even to do a strong attack later.

Anyway, building walls like that is not that easy, you must be multitasking a lot of things, while moving units to fight.

Greetings

@go2die You might be shocked to know our team would be accurately ranked 3rd  on that list, pls review.

@go2die, make this anonymous so others can feel comfortable to share their opinions unfiltered.

[Boudica]

I think that @Dakara did an unexpectedly good rating job. If his rating is not copyrighted, I'd just say copy it and count it as mine. 

I first considered changing the rating of two or three players, but I realized that it's the stability of their play that matters. Some can grow really fast but won't fight great, some perform worse when rushed or with a less played civilizations, some play great but have little sense of the team, and others the opposite. I think that for example esu might become better pretty soon. He was a good teammate IIRC, only lacking some specific skills.
