Correct, this is not allowed. We are here to have fun as a main priority. People smurfing takes a lot of the fun out of the tournament for people.

Thanks for writing this up! I hope that those who choose to respond to this thread take some care and reflection before rushing to reply!

There is a lot of potential to using these natives for techs, and even training their units.

i dropped in the NWT game but i won that series yea

Watch my stream when I play, if you are in chat as some questions on what I am doing and I will answer. The problem with time to micro is that its not realistic at all. All those tactics used to win those fights are great ideas for the scenario, but i rarely control my units the way described in tho...

Same

I'll get philosophical since this thread isn't going to give real answers.

You know your bad when you don't know why your bad.

no problem, glad you got it working!

what is not working about it?

Make sure you are in my documents, not in program files.

Also make sure you take all the files out of the folder and put them directly into RM3. Notice in the screenshot that all the ESOC maps are in the RM3 folder.

Thats the goal!

You will know at the start of each round, the list of maps will be posted in the scheduling topic when it is created. We are also playing with the idea of doing the whole brackets map sets before the tournament starts, then you would know as soon as you get placed in the bracket what your maps are f...

Yea, give it a chance, we have thought through making this 100% fair for the players while making it more exciting for the viewers

It looks like we all pretty much agree on the same thing, so I guess all is well. Since this is more of a technical problem than one based on decisions. I feel it''s an important issue since streams are currently underused in AoE3 and I sincerely wish more people would stream. It''s why I''m thrill...

not sure the exact way, its a good question though. It is based on recent games.

Correct, we will get there. We have not even had the time to discuss adding people on trial or anything yet as an intermediate solution.

I will work with Aiz to get his UI stickied, the files are currently in our custom content section!

Neuron is making good points. We discussed this as a group. The idea is that select streamers who are very well known for streaming would always be listed and those who are more infrequent would pop up whenever they go live. The only reason we had to talk this through is that it is a sidebar. It is ...

amazing job Garja, I really look forward to seeing how the players take on these maps.

Correct, the RNG on cannon balls is a way wider range than I thought. Its actually quite dumb. The difference in how that battle plays out could swing by as much as 500 HP.....

can you log on eso and show me how you can do it every time. did it miss? I tried this with and without the extra shot and both ways didnt kill it.

edit: Okay I killed it, its random, based on the number of missed cannon balls on both sides.

what a helpful crossbow!

Ah I was not too clear there. I meant I have played against siege stuff and it would be in custom stats and also past vids. I played s lot of china lately.

Underlying ratings is a live feed. Sorting seems to take place scheduled.

Welcome to ESOC. Along with playing look through some of the content from the last tournament. New maps, lots of commentary and replays.

You should give the summer tournament a shot! We are holding open signups now.
