Civilization Rules:
- France, Britain, Germany, India, and Russia are banned from play.
- This leaves the available selection of civilizations as follows: Dutch, Ottoman, Portugal, Spain, Aztec, Iroquois, Sioux, China, and Japan.
- Once you have won with a civilization, you may not use it again for the rest of the series. Losing a game does not disable a player’s civilization from being played again.
- For the 1st game in a series, players will agree on a civilization matchup. After that, the winner of the previous game will select their civilization first. This pick is final and will be locked in. Their opponent will then pick their civilization afterwards.
- In a Best-of-3, you must win with 2 different civilizations.
- In a Best-of-5, you must win with 3 different civilizations.
Map Pool:
All maps are listed in the order they are to be played in. There will be no map vetoes.
Rules:
- All games must be played on the ESOC Patch.
- All games must be recorded.
- All results and recorded games must be reported using the match results submitter.
- All players must respect the tournament schedule. If a series is not in progress by the time a round is scheduled to end, the admins reserve the right to make a decision on the winner of the match.
- All players must coordinate with the admins to ensure smooth scheduling of casted matches.
- All other applicable ESOC tournament rules apply.
Additional Notes:
- Games will be played primarily on ESO; games that need to be played on GameRanger must be authorized by a tournament administrator. In case of unforeseen circumstances, casted games may need to be played on GameRanger.
- In case games need to be played on GameRanger, please have home cities and decks prepared!
- If you think your opponent somehow had an unfair advantage by using any exploits or mods, please PM one of the admins with the recorded game and screenshots.
