I started on one of those awful peninsulas where you start at the bottom of the map but had to walk 5 turns west before I could go north. named zero tiles and no friendlies and only found 2 barbs when i settled on the 6th turn. of course germany walked straight toward my cap so i could not get the walk in because we met and it kept going in and out of the cap. my 3 barbs give me 50g not bad, hbr, crap, and a boat and said there were 3 artifacts but a resync got rid of one of them took me forever to get my 100g and he got easy ai caps I attacked his archer with my vet ha with great general support 12-7 and lost and dropped outOriginally Posted by GrizzleyTigers4
2nd game I only got 1 barb and it gave me a spy where he had 100g in the first 10 turns
K we can play 1 game to see who gets first. Does everyone agree that the semi finals should be a best of 5?
Lets try to get this finished before duke goes on vacationNVM thought he was leaving this weekend
best of 5 it should be
Mawpawk won the FFA with a way better start than us. I got 7 cities but he had more than enough to defend 2 late HA's.
Then I beat MPB 2-1. I actually think he outplayed me (he definitely outplayed me game 1). The 2nd and 3rd games I won in about 15 total turns so not much skill there. Oh well, I'll take it!
I'm 4 seed, Mawpawk 3 seed.
Who am I playing next? I'm leaving for Hawaii on Friday so this week is going to be extremely time crunched. I can play Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday but it would be much better if I could schedule my matches.
Play Itz tonight!......I just got maw 3-2 to get into the finals...
I can play now but I'll be busy tomorrow.
Itz wins 3-2. Last game came down to a ☺☺☺☺ing GA flip (any other GP is worthless at that point) and then he wins 12-12.
Ya GG's. We shouldn't have even got to that game but I felt like feeding the barbs the game before
Itz vs grizz for the championship! Nice
Good job Itz, I was afraid for you but it goes to show that the Almighy Duke can be beat!
Ha yeah, gg's.
1st game I had no chance. His Germans get walk in on Spain and block me on a peninsula. He Galleon beats me galley.
2nd game we both played horrible. He got CoR Egypt. My Germans get walk in on Spain and eventually some elite knights roll through his cities. I made a lot of mistakes and got bailed out by getting Monarchy early from one of his cities. He should have killed me way earlier as he had Sam's castle and Fundy. And EiTC even though it wasnt helping him much.
3rd game his India vs my Engish. I 3 warrior trick USA. He get Spain for Nav..... He win 2 50/50 battles. Not much I'm going to do after that.
4th game my Egypt (broken oracle) vs his English. He gets AW for GW. And then his barbs eat his cap haha.
5th game my Roman vs his India. I got Spain (no nav) and he took Greece (no demo). However, he takes my cap with his HA (I think he won a 6-5? Then I find 7 cities which kind of gets my back in the game. He probably got 200 more gold then me off the map as he had 2 HA and 2 galleys. I get about 5 cities out and just when I'm about to make a push he GA one of my key cities away from the action (the only place where I could expand). I was kind of bent after that so I just quit. Literally the only GP that could help him at that point.
GG's. I don't think either of us played particularly well. I was kind of pissed that we each took the Spanish twice but I only got nav once. Obviously whoever took nav one those games. Very frustrating when something at 3000 bc pretty much decides that game. Good Luck guys.
Heh, even those damn barbs are at the glitching
Ya they just looked at my wall and laughedHeh, even those damn barbs are at the glitching
Anything the computer has control of... cheats. By the way, Please finish this dang championship so that I can start the next 8 man tourney dangit!
@multi-go ahead and start it....I might kick myself if I lose and its full but if you wait its just gonna be the same 8 people.....go ahead and start it and let people like liam or flash that havent had too many shots at it try and maybe we will have a disparate pool of players....
@ITZ.....after 530EST anyday this week....if you see me before them Im just wasting time on a lunch break or something
Yes please start it whilst I'm at work and actually see a tournament come up and can enter it!! :-)
Edit your post to say...reserve me a spot multi!
Alright lets finish it today.
Cool bro, slight change in plans.. I have to pick my grandfather up so Ill be ready BY 700 EST
Grizz take host! I don't care that I'm first seed I just want to play! Grizz and I decided to do a best of 7.

Ok I guess this is the part where I'm supposed to say I owe it all to Mawpawk
Congrats Itz- Wery well done, and a lot of good players in that tournament.
I guess I will write a short write up of games.
Germans V. His Egyptians
I settle at 3500 next to a barb and Greeks with no gold. He takes out Greeks and I get barb and make WA and move it to top of hill. He has enough gold to make a pikman and horsemen and waits till the end of the turn to walk into my empty cap early.
Egyptians V. His Romans
I get a terrible start starting at the end of a peninsula and get a friendly giving me a useless local map. I settle next to 2 trees and 3 water with a fish and get oracle. I hammer out a warrior to take barb 2 turns away but it is across a river so I had to move to a hill. I see a friendly 2 turns from barb and decide to go for it and I have a good chance of getting HBR(Which I get) and then I can have a vet horsemen from my first barb. I take out barb and make 3 horsemen when he quits saying he lost 2 50/50 battles to Japan and the next turn a barb ate him up, I was 3 turns away from Japan with my vet Ha...
India Mirror
I'm land locked by a barb and mountains so I decide to settle with one tree and hope the barb gives me something good. I hammer it out and get BW and cattle. Great... He gets walk in on Romans and 7cog a bit later. I tech HBR and get 40g from another barb with my first warrior. I build horsemen with only 3 production a turn. I name a couple tiles and get another barb when his horsemen shows up, he attacks my double injured vet warrior that I used to protect my injured horse and doesn't get injured while I heal my horse. It would be a button race but even if either of us won we had a good chance of losing 2-1.5, we were in trees. Well the English were above me and I was going to give it a chance even though if I took them out I still had a very little chance but I resynched that turn and hard froze so it was game over.
Japan V. His English
I start on a peninsula with nothing but a barb and guess who is on the otherside of that barb? Yep Grizz. I was going to settle 2 turns away with 2 trees but I saw him settle at 3900 right next to it so I decided to run away and hope for better luck with friendlies or something. I name a tile right next to barb so he knows where I am, I settle on hill next to another hill and 2 trees and water at 3700 with 10g. I hammer for 2 turns and rush a warrior. He moves a warrior underneath the hill and I attack 1.5-1 and win flawlessly. I move my warrior back into my cap and rush another one to take a barb 2 turns away. I see his WA going around to the hill avoiding going underneath mine 3 turns later. I had hammered out another warrior and got 40g from barb. I had 2 warriors in my cap by the time he showed up on hill. He attacked 4.5-2.5 and got injured and I rushed another warrior. I move my warrior that took barb back next to my cap to make army. He attacks next turn 3-2.5 and loses giving me a vet WA, which I move straight towards his cap. Of course when I get there I lose 4.5-2.5 so he comes back at me with a vet WA. My warrior that took out barb named 2 tiles and got a friendly for 25g. I had 12 beakers on HBR when he came back at me with his vet WA and I rushed a WA in my cap. I lost 7.5-6 and with that the game.
English V His Japan
I get 2 friendlies for 50g and settle next to 2 trees and 5 water with fish. Indians are next to me so I hammer out WA and take them out 3-1.5 and start teching HBR. Spanish show up next to Delhi and I attack their warrior 2-1 getting injured. By the time I got to their cap they had a half fortified warrior and I lost 3-2. I build a horsemen and take a barb 3 turns away from me. I get a caravan which I sell and rush out my HA. I attack 6-3 and take Madrid at 2100 for Nav. A barb shows me SoC but I wait to rush a galleon until I have my 100g I sold some archers and did all gold in my 3 caps to get it. Once I did I rushed a galleon but he had got SoC same turn. I ran him down and forced him to sell his galley with his 2 gp in it. I put my vet HA in it to make sure I could take them in case he unloaded them on land. So I'm cruising around and see what he has and I see a galley but he is able to unload the settler on an island with 2 fish before I could sink it. I get KT cannon and use it to take his first island city next to Beijing which he took out early. I build a galleon fleet and attack his 100g city I believe, 2 turns away from his cap. My HA wins 13 to 12 and takes it getting injured and I attack his cap 13-6 with my cannon after he took out my militia with with a catapult 5.5-4. Luckily my archer won 7-6 flawlessly and then 7-4 against his catapults and with that his cap was empty and I won.
Russia V His Germans
I see AW in my local map and a barb 2 tiles away. I settle first turn next to 2 trees and the barb. I take it at one pop get 40g. I save up hammers for 3 turns and rush a galley for 40g to take AW, I switch to fundy and start teching HBR meanwhile my warrior meets India with nothing in his cap at 3500 and he takes out Romans. I take the risk next turn and attack 2-1.5 and win. I tech HBR and sell my galley and name a tile on the island for 15g. I get a friendly on the mainland for BW and it shows me a barb which turns to 3 flags. I build a horse and take it out for vet and 40g I think. I build vet HA and go for a barb that that barb showed me and it also showed me the Germans outline. I move to hill next to barb and see a single warrior. I could either take the barb or overrun his warrior. Well the choice was made for me when I saw 2 more warrior pop up behind his first next to his cap, so I knew I could overrun all 3 of them more than likely so I decided to attack him instead of the barb. Next turn I overrun the other 2 warriors and another one behind those two for blitz upgrade. He builds a WA and wins 4.5-4.5. I build another HA to go for barb, naturally he got march upgrade. I sent a single horse over to hill to see where he was and I attacked his WA in trees 4.5-6 double injuring him. I build another HA and take out his WA 13.5-6 and get veteran. Take barb and get another horsemen from barb. I move horsemen and try to win 3-4 against his archer but see I am losing and retreat. Next turn I walk into an empty Rome with my single horse and then I take his cap with my vet fundy HA.
Romans V His Greeks
He thought he was on an island at 3200, which it looked like one, but it wasn't. It connected at the very bottom with a narrow land bridge. He gets 7cog and I take out Germans with a vet WA and then French with a vet HA. I think we both got a tech from our first barb I got Alphabet and he got Pottery. I take Japs out later with my vet HA and it gives me 4 caps and ceremonial burial, so I built 4 temples in all my caps so I could get cathedrals in all of them since AoC was not far away. Meanwhile he spent a bunch of his gold on a library in 2 pop Athens and then later on his 100g city in medieval. So I wasn't very worried about an attacking force in the near future. He sky rocketed in tech but I was able to nab Monarchy from him with a GS. He was at 13 tech while I was still at 5. He got irrigation bonus and masonry and workshop. So I see a galleon and he started working on his 3 hills for a barracks so I figured he had something big planned but with his lack of funds due to building libraries I think it was to late. I got lucky and won a 2-1 against his galleon and I moved my KT cannon onto my galley and then on a hill to take his 3rd city that he built in the early A.Ds. I had knights by then and almost had Sam Castle built and had roads to all my caps. I was in fundy and building a KA a turn when he quit. To be honest even if he would've played perfectly he couldn't have won unless I made a few very big mistakes, but I think if he would've built a barracks in Athens instead of a library he would've had at better chance at least, even though you were still pretty screwed. Because of that I knew I didn't have to worry much about defense so you didn't keep me on my toes. GG's. Pretty happy I finally won one
Ive learned something from previous tournaments and reading other rebuttals......nobody wants to hear the loser side...I guess I will write a short write up of games.

Hey ITZ, we need a new award - Player of the Month! Between this and taking down 'Pawk 4-0 - that is some on fire form dude.
Alright remo, whenever ur ready we can do this. I guess a best of 7 is in order? But instead of doing it like we did b4 how about we just choose a teir and remove zulu so the games won't be so lopsided? Its whatever you feel like doing I'm fine with whatever.
We'll have to wait another 10 days or so since I won't have time this weekend and then I will be on vacation.
