Good game Gekkepop.
Lala for Mordor defeats Alex for the Free Peoples. Well done.
I am hoping to post the next and last round of this tournament soon: round 6: Total World War
We have 2 undefeated participants who will be battling for the prize: Ajmdemen and Admetus
And I hope to have everyone else play too.
However, I can not do this until all round 4 games are finished, and we still have 2 games ongoing:
Nothing to see here
vs
lalapalooza
and
Funcioneta
vs
AmorphousCube
We also have several round 5 games not started yet, and I’ll send out private messages to get everyone to start theirs.
…
If there are 2 people tied for 1st somehow (which is technically impossible after 6 rounds), then we run a tiebreaker round for those two. (participation in tiebreaker round is optional for everyone but the 2 front-runners)
Please, when you set up round 6, leave me out.
I have taken a look into Total World War and - although the appearance is really great - I do not have the time and patience to deal with this extensive game in an adequate way. Concerning WW II I will stick to the A&A games.
I enjoyed Napoleonic Empires, 270BC and LotR very much and feel like playing those again every now and then.
Thank you :-)

glad you enjoyed them,
if everyone here enjoys only 2 or 3 out of the 6 games, it is still a great success
the whole point is to try a bunch of new things and hopefully find something you like

Same is true for me Veq, 270, Napoleon and ME are great, but the WW I and II games I did not really enjoy that much. Was nice to get to play against many players I did not know before, all of them fun to play against. Thx for organising!

You are right - it was definitely worth playing the tournament! I got to know games I would probably never have played.
Also I have played against people I did not meet before - all of them have been a pleasure to play with.
All in all: Great success!!! Thank you very much for all your efforts!
Indeed, Veqryn, you have to be praised, it must be quite a hassle to manage all this mayhem, but it’s been a lot of fun so far.
The only game I disliked was 270BC, probably because I lost so badly. My favourite one so far has to be Great War, actually, where I managed to reach most of the strategic objectives I had set for myself in spite of a very resilient opponent.
Looking forward to more of all that. Minus the shameful losses.
Speaking of losses:
Narushima (evil) concedes to P@nther (good) at round 7 of LotR.
AmorphousCube (Allies) surrenders to Funcioneta (Central Powers) in round 19 of “The Great War”
Round 4 is done. Only 1 game is outstanding and one of the two players in it is MIA so he is getting a loss most likely.
I’d like to post round 6, but I have to wait for 2.6.3 version of TWW to be released. It was going to be released two or three weeks ago, so I’m not sure where it stands right now or what is left to be done, but I’m sure it will be released very soon regardless.
I may have to drop TWW
In 10 days I’ll be going to Europe for two weeks, so unless my opponent is willing to wait for me to get back, I’ll have to drop.

Total World War Tournament Edition is a large map with relatively complex rules.
To avoid confusion, here is a brief introduction and the rules for this tournament round:
TWW does not come with TripleA, therefore you must download it.
You can download it from inside triplea, or you can download it manually here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tripleamaps/files/maps/Total_World_War.zip
TWW comes with 2 games within it: “Tournament Edition” (version 2.7.2) and “December 1941” (version 2.7.3)
Obviously we are going to use ONLY the Tournament Edition, version 2.7.2 for this round.
TripleA 1.7.0.1 recently came out, but it is a “beta” release and contains some bugs (including a serious one that will impact TWW).
Therefore, for this round everyone MUST use version 1.6.1.4 of TripleA, or if you wait 2-4 weeks you can use the future 1.7.0.3 that I haven’t released yet. Anyway, just don’t use 1.7.0.1 for the tournament game.
Default rules:
If you have an agreement with your opponent, you can override the below rules.
Politics should be off.
NoNotifications, ShareTechnology, DeclareWarOnly, BonusTechnology, and NoTechnology should all NOT be used
After you download TWW, there is a PDF manual inside of the zip folder.
I highly recommend you copy and paste it to your desktop and then read it.
Alternatively, you can download it here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tripleamaps/files/rules/TotalWorldWarManual.pdf
TripleA 1.7.0.3 Stable has come out,
I recommend using it to start any new games:

@SantaClaus:
I may have to drop TWW
In 10 days I’ll be going to Europe for two weeks, so unless my opponent is willing to wait for me to get back, I’ll have to drop.
OK. I’m back from Europe now, so since the pairings haven’t been posted yet, I’ll be able to play. :-)
Santa, look above, round 6 matchups already posted and you are included.
2 clarifications for everyone about TWW:
Now that TripleA 1.7.0.3 is out, I hope everyone can use this for the last round. Also, please update your TWW map to whatever is the latest version, and then use the “tournament” version of TWW.
Secondly, a clarification about the 4 “neutral” nations:
You should be playing with politics off for the tourney, therefore brazil, spain, turkey, and sweden, will never be a part of the game at all.
With politics off, you can not declare war on them, and you can not change them to be allied to you.
Since they will never be part of the game, it doesn’t matter what happens during their turn: you could just skip through their turn completely.
IF you are playing with politics on, then since that is something you agreed with your opponent then you should agree also on how they are handled. You could have the AI do their thing in a local mode, or you could have them just buy max infantry every turn then if they get attacked the opposing power (to the attacker) controls them. Up to you.
