ESOC Lore Quiz pt. 2

[dicktator_]

I really liked the mono-civ format, but with the way that DE is I just have to accept that there will never be another mono-civ tournament

[Don Nameless]

When a warchief 2 tournament?
So many beautiful rules that no longer exist, today everything is so monotonous and boring

[Vinyanyérë]

when will we get the exam review and the sample solution?

Probably in a few days once answers stop coming in. If you want an answer to a specific question before that, feel free to message me, just don't go around sharing the answer.

18/100

Pog, considering I answered Garja for most of the questions I'm happy with that

[Vinyanyérë]

The autograder is extremely strict about answers and I can't turn it off easily, so I go back and grade the answers manually. Your actual grade is 21/100

[robo]

Pog even better

Top 10 here I am (for now)

[Garja]

What about my score btw

[aligator92]

I guessed maps without hunts, because that would just be a terrible rule and I trusted ESOC's judgment

Starvation tourney was fun, but idk if I'd play it again. IIRC the only viable civs were Japan, Dutch, and Iro - because Iro is always viable.

Edit: India was barely playable too.

I think Japan was banned

[Vinyanyérë]

What about my score btw

41/100, you did miss the tournament rules question but did a good job on the questions that involved _H2O and his Japan mirror

[Djigit]

Say what you want but evilcheadar is a fraud

Yeah I think you’re right actually, forgot about that.

[*] @Goodspeed 24/100 which is public shame-worthy levels of bad from the previous quiz maker. How do you get the NWC winner question wrong, were you playing Go the entire time the finals were going

Perfect storm for me. My abysmal long-term memory prevents me from remembering stuff I once knew, and more recent AoE3 history is a complete unknown (I don't own DE and the last time I watched an AoE3 stream is at least 3 years ago). Combine those factors, and there's not much hope.

I couldn't even remember the second NWC finalist lol

i didn't enjoy all the questions about community teams and moderation teams etc etc, i was never part of any of those so i never had reason to pay attention to the rotation of different names under different tags.

[P i k i l i c]

Funny quiz I did not remember everything I knew since I left the forums

[BrookG]

I knew most of them but I couldn't remember so many, but I hope I get style points

EDIT: fak the whatsapp, now i remember

I really liked the mono-civ format, but with the way that DE is I just have to accept that there will never be another mono-civ tournament

Mono-civ for the opponent format: You lock in one civ that you will be facing the entire tournament, rather than locking in your own civ for the entire tournament

God mode: face Italy the entire tournament

lock in vs brit whole tournament, rush every game, what can they do?

This is actually a bad idea with the number of civs in the game right now, but here’s a vague way to make that format (kinda) work. Though whether it’s actually fun to play is doubtful:

Before the match, players have to bid a number between 1 and 3. Whoever bids the lower number gets to choose 2 civs the opponent must play for the entire series. There is no restrictions to how that player uses those 2 civs. They may veto 1 civ from being picked.

In the event of a tie, both players get to choose 2 civs for their opponent. The picks are blind in this case.

The catch is that the number chosen is the number of games the opposing player must win in order to win the series. The other player must win 4 games.

So, in the event that a 1 is chosen, the player who has had his civs chosen for him only needs to win 1 game in the first 4 in order to win the series (1-3), while the other needs to win 4-0.

A flaw is that this requires everyone to buy the DLC. Might even be a fatal flaw, depends if top players all have bought it.

As in there are too many civs in game, or to few civs in game?

Too many, because you could pick civs that the other player just has no clue how to play.

Grades are mostly finished, been a bit preoccupied last few days and will be traveling the next few so I might not get to releasing the grades plus answer key for some time. Is on the to-do list though
