1st Annual Cellar Gaming TripleA Octathalon – Sign-Up Thread

@DizzKneeLand33 - Oh nice. The notes fixes are definitely helpful and I can look to make those as well.

@DizzKneeLand33 - Wanted to bring to your attention how multiple canals work in WaW and TRS. So there are a few sea zones in the pacific that have multiple canals between 2 sea zones (island chains). The TripleA engine requires you to own all canals in order to move between the 2 sea zones. The game notes describe just needing to own both territories to cross a canal. I’ve discussed with a few people and apparently the map’s notes are correct in this case (so somewhat vague) and if you own any canal between 2 sea zones you should be able to move between them. I’m planning to eventually fix this in the engine as well (probably won’t be released for a few months though).

So the question is which set of canal rules do you want to tournament to play under? Discussion here: http://tripleadev.1671093.n2.nabble.com/WORLD-AT-WAR-td5862407i260.html

The notes clearly state “play them as they work” so we will be playing that you must own all points to pass through the canal.  Any player who has downloaded TripleA on his/her own (a non-developer) would play the same way, since there is nothing to indicate otherwise.

Besides, we have played a lot of games that way now, and it really does work for the Pacific.  I think the Pacific is a much better battle scene (in WaW) as a result.  I’m not sure what the balance change of the game would be, and I don’t know how this would affect TRS one way or the other.

If there’s still room available I’d play 270 BC

[DizzKneeLand33]

Sure Santa, I’ll get you on that list!  The pairings for 270BC will be set on Sat 12/19 (just a heads up).

Hi:  I would like to sign up for the World at War tourney if it is not too late.

Thanks,

Hi krusty,

Sorry, the World at War tournament has already started – I am posting Lord of the Rings in a few minutes (the 7th bracket), and the last one left is Napoleonic Empires.  Did you want to play in Napoleonic Empires?  If so, let me know today and I’ll get you in!

Hi DizKneeLand:

No worries, next time.

Cheers,

Is anyone interested in a practice game of New World Order? As you are all playing and I have a bye, I’d like to try it before playing in the tournament, since whoever I’ll be playing will be (at least slightly) experienced ;)

I’d prefer fast paced (once a day, some days more).

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

I can’t find the sign up for the next tournament.  Is this the best place to post, or is there another thread?  Count me in for an octathalon.

[Balladeer]

Dizz has been offline for a bit, I’m not sure why, but I am sure that when he gets back he’ll set it up!

[KurtGodel7]

I’d like to sign up as well, as long as it’s low luck.

Also, I’d like to recommend that Domination 1914 No Man’s Land be included in the tournament. This is quite possibly the best overall map I’ve played, and certainly has the best tech system and unit choice of any map I’ve played. I give this map a very high recommendation.
