Smackdown #4 Double Shipments

  • Quote

Post by Interjection »

EDIT: Ede & I never got to cast afterall. We were going to cast Sompu vs Hazza recs (since we would have been at the same PC that would have been possible). Except Mitoe beet us to it so instead we just put him on the big screens in the studio. After that there was no time as we needed to start the Escape LAN.

Right then, let's try and schedule players for the Double Shipments Smackdown. Any volunteers?

Looking to play the games on Friday or Saturday. Let me know availability below.

FORMAT:
Gamemode: Ordinary Supremacy, but all shipments give their effect twice.
Patch: Smackdown Patch (available in the EP launcher 'tools')
Series: Best of 7 (first to four victories)
Civ Rules: Players will be able to use all 14 civs but cannot use civs they have already won a game with.

NOT FINALIZED. Will remove this message when is. Trying to include maps where TPs will be contested. And more non TP maps

Game 1: Deccan
Game 2: Cascade Range
Game 3: Malaysia
Game 4: Kamchatka
Game 5: High Plains
Game 6: Thar Desert
Game 7: Wadmalaw

Is anyone free from 13:30 GMT or before on Saturday 19th? This is realistically the latest we can do as there will be preparation for the EscapeTV stream to do

The $50 prize is still on offer :)

It was going to air this Sunday but since we're doing a bonus Smackdown on Saturday I think I'll hold on to it for another week until the 27th

@Interjection Just wanted to give you a suggestion for a future smackdown. I think it would be cool to have a match on a map like Carribean or Ceylon, but with no (or minimal) fish/whales; it would be cool just to see epci warship battles, people setting up bases on different islands, island hopping, landing raiding parties on the opponent's island, etc.

The no water resources aspect is there to motivate "island control". Perhaps most of the resources on the map are on islands in the middle of the ocean.

I have a really really old RMS called "gandalfs isles" that might just be the thing you are looking for

Thanks! Would it be difficult to convert it to obs for the smackdown?

I can upload it if the maps/smackdown team is interested! They would have to edit it, im just learning to code maps- it will need a few changes, iroquois and sioux posts still show up even in TAD which is quite funny. Its got tons of islands, trade route and native sites, and extremely random. Good for smackdown, bad for tournament

unfortunately/fortunately I can't 100% confirm that I can make that time, but I hope to see someone else exploiting this one to the max.

... it would be pretty crazy if there was a smackdown on Squamiger's Giant World Map

(although I'd want to fix a few things, like making the hunts herdable)

Note that in order to have observer UI available, the scenario would have to be entirely rewritten from scratch as a Random Map Script, and the observer UI code added to it appropriately. Although I haven't made a RMS from scratch before, I imagine scripting those kinds of specific shapes would be quite difficult.

@Jaeger @musketeer925 it's actually my bad, i thought smackdown #3 would be airing today, but i didn't give the OP a close enough read so i ended up overstepping. i think inter is busy casting/managing escapeaoe's stream, so there won't be a smackdown today (at least, the premiere should've appeared in youtube subbox's already but because this isn't the case i suppose smackdown #3 is planned for next week). my apologies for misinforming!
