fail_Safe: 3 Points

SUX2000 = 0 Points


The rules are set out below.

Players

Anyone can sign up. Unlike other games, everyone stands an equal chance at the start of the game, 1 Captain can't beat 5 Sargents if you catch my drift

The games will be 6-men FFAs

Maps

Texas
Great Plains
Andes
Bayou
Painted Desert
Rockies
Sonora
Yukon
Ozarks

Points (From Round 2)

This is where it gets interesting. In a normal League, the winner takes all. Not in a FFA he/she doesn't!

The point system is laid out below:

Winning the Game = 6 Points

Runner-Up = 4 Points

Third Place = 2 Point

First to Industrial = 1 Point

Revolting (all) = 2 Points

KO'ing Someone After Revolting = 7 Points

First to 1000 Points = 2 Points

First to Trigger a Trade Monoply (3 Minimum) = 2 points

Winning Using Trade Monoply = 20 Points*

First to Max Villagers = 2 Points

First to Reach Max. Poppulation = 1 Points

Using an Unique Civ (only one of the kind) = 1 Point

Most Treasures = 1 Point

Knocking Someone Out (Administritive Decision) = 4 Points. Points may be split between two.

Knocking Someones 1st TC Sub-10Mins = 8 Points

Knocking Someones 1st TC 10-15Mins = 4 Points

Getting Teamed Against by 2 People = 2 Points (3 people = 3 Points, 4 Peopel = 4 Points etc)

Surviving 15Mins While Being Double Teamed = 1 Point

HC Level

Tier One HC -> 1-9 = 3 Points
Tier Two HC -> 10-24 = 2 Points
Tier Three HC -> 25-39 = 1 Point
Tier Four HC -> 40+ = 0 Points


* - If your TM fails after 30 Secs have passed, you lose 3 Points, and the person who knocked the TP gets 2 Points. At least one of the other people must have at least half your score when you trigger it, or you only get half the points

***Note***

Once the game reaches 1 Hour 45Mins, the game stops in terms of the point system. I will judge from what is left the placings.


If you disconnect after 45mins, and are in a strong position, I will give you points from what i can see you would have got.



Note that there must be at least 4 People left in the game when TM is triggered for you to get the points for winning it



All games will be recorded and posted here. I would expect the more common posters on HG to take responsibility and do this. The First named player on the game list will host the game, passworded aoe3hrox, and clearly labelled what game it is.


The League table will also be posted here clearly.

From Round 3 onwards, all games will be at 9pm GMT+1 Saturday. Due to connection problems etc, there will be no set fixtures, we simply make games from what we've got. I realize this doesn't suit some people, but I can't handle two days a week. But don't worry, in the New and Improved Autumn/Winter Series, there will be both a Sunday and Saturday League.


Good Luck to all and Have Fun

Congratulations Serge - Winner of the FFA Spring Series 2008

Sounds cool! I've always loved FFAs since I played one with TGE (who some of you will not know), and I'm always interested in a little tournament! The only shame if FFA looks a lot like treaty after a while (bazillion walls, France and Russian domination).

The map will be pretermined for the first 2 rounds, but then the lowest ranked player, on points, not PR, will choose a map from the Standard Maps cycle.

I suggest Texas, Bayou, Great Plains, Painted Desert or Ozarks, as these maps have no water, and water battles tend to be laggy in 6 player games (not to mention the imbalance as some players will be near the water and others won't).

I am living in Ireland, so will be using GMT+1.

Isn't Ireland GMT, like the UK?

First to Industria = 1 Point

Portugal

First to Imperial = 2 Points

Make it Imperial/Revolution. Revolting is a lot of fun in FFAs, since you can hold out for a loooong time if you're Germany (I once made 776 CMs in a single game).

First to Trigger a Trade Monoply (3 Minimum) = 2 points

Cool. I'd give extra points to winning with one too.

First to Max Villagers = 2 Points

Portugal

First to Build 3 Town Centres = 1 Point

Portugal

Using an Unique Civ = 1 Point

Is Argentina considered a civ?

Knocking a Starting TC = 2 Points

PETARDS!!!

Knocking a Factory = 1 Point

Oprichniks

I'd really like to participate in this, good idea and I would have no problem volunteering for something if it's needed.

OK mediolanus, do you think i should change some of them.
You were right about the 3 tcs one. But will i change the others? I am using GMT+1, as the clocks went forward; daylight saving time. I will keep first to Industrial, as the Portuguese FI, although very fast (I'm sure you could go even faster than my one) leaves you very open. I will keep starting TC knocking one, but will get rid of factory one.

I will give extra points for winning with TM, but there has to be 3 other players left standing. (Clearly owning a civ, but dont finish them so you can get TM) You will get 3 points for revolting. I am now seeing this an opportunity to use new features.....

I will also narrow the map pool as you recomended.

Thanks for signing up Medio, and please tell me if you have any other ideas/improvements

GMT went 1 hour forward to, so it's still GMT at yours.

All that matters is winning.
Someone strong is probably gonna be attacked by more than one, no need to team.
There's ur rules.

Allthough aztecs can also do quite good.


GMT DOES NOT INCLUDE DAYLIGHT SAVINGS. A common mistake, that makes it really hard to understand which time someone means.

heres my 2 cents:

imo, u just made it waayyyyy to difficult. have fun keepin track of all points...

just have points for 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th place. killing buildings and such is a horrible idea cause how will u know when it happens? i can see that like first to indi or imp or first to 99 vills as points cause u can check them all to see who won, but destroying things should be taken out.

wat is considered a "unique" civ?

in other words i think these things arent neccesary:

unique civ points
killing buildings points
revoltin stuff is ok but id rather keep it out
i think maybe killing someone in general not just a revolution should be points, although that is one of things u can know for sure.

just my thoughts. sign me up

edit: oh and another thing there should be a chat room called ffa fun series or something like that. maybe make a password?

Sign me up! I love FFA games. How do you determine who gets second, third and fourth place when someone wins by TM? I think the scoring system is a little different. IMO I think that first, second, third, fourth place should get 4,3,2,1 points respectivly. Great Idea though!

Well, it can be done, when someone is interested in watching all the recs. I think you're right, and only the things that can be checked at the agecommunity link should be in.

wat is considered a "unique" civ?

To be the only one in the game playing that civ.

GMT DOES NOT INCLUDE DAYLIGHT SAVINGS.

Very good to know. So at the moment, GMT is not the time at Greenwich.

How do you determine who gets second, third and fourth place when someone wins by TM?

By score probably.

correct

Still if someone tells a certain gmt time, they usually mean gmt+1
