CWC Shogun Contest

[Drisos]

bleh... iirc I'm yet to play the first 2v1 game in which the 'alone' player didn't win. it's not fair, I'm afraid..

[Trajanus]

Shambles and I have managed to overcome Shin Gaijin in a 2v1, although it was damn close!

Kudos on the memory of that game Gaijin it was a superb battle.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I always thought the 'alone' player was at a disadvantage. We used to have the 2 players bring only 8 units to get around that.

[AggonyDuck]

Kans and Drifta, could you check my time suggestion on the CWC forums?

[HiPlnzDrifta]

ummm duck m8, forgive me if i am wrong but isnt shambles server down at the moment...

he appears quite miffed to say the least and i believe one of us will have to host the game on our own server if we want it to continue...


btw i would really like to play at 18:00 gmt sunday as that is 4 am monday morning for me... mondays are very busy as i am getting the kids ready for their first day of a week at school an i would prefer to play the games before they wake up...

cheers

[AggonyDuck]

Hmmmm, then it might be better to actually postpone the game for next weekend, so that we can actually find a time that works for all of us. Especially if Shambles server is down.

[Tomisama]

We will move the Tournament over to Yuuki's 10b version of the STW mod for Medieval.

Same maps, with the same attack direction, 10k with no upgrades.

This will also allow us to upgrade from a 2v2 to a 4v4 standard CWC format.

After some serious consideration, it is the “only” reasonable solution.

Without a permanent server people can’t practice, and the chance for a growing Shogun community is nonexistent.

And even with Shambles server up, many people could not connect, so it was a limited proposition from the beginning.

My Salute to Shambles but it’s time to move on.

I simply don´t have the time, but i hope this is not the last contest.

So sorry guys ......

You can read all about how to be a good player, but to be one is something else

This will also allow us to upgrade from a 2v2 to a 4v4 standard CWC format.

Will have to make it a 3v3 due to map size (same as we did for the Samurai competition).

[HiPlnzDrifta]

DOH!!!! *Flinches*

but thats not STW???

[Tomisama]

but thats not STW???

Not literally no

And I didn’t expect this change to sit well with most of the participants.

In fact I would not be too surprised if the Competition fell apart.

But I had to go with my gut feeling, and my experience with setting up Contests.

I am hoping that everyone concerned will at least give the mod a try.

The folks that produced it, put their Samurai hearts and souls into every phase of it’s long development.

This was a true labor of love, combining what many consider the greatest era, with the best game engine for Total War.

And I personally believe, though it may not be the “original” STW, that it may even be better!

In fact the STW mod for MTW/VI might just be the best Total War modification that there has ever been.

Not that there aren’t other greats, but the look and feel of this masterpiece mod does stand alone for those who's first love was Shogun.

[R'as al Ghul]

For those who haven't seen it yet, I've set up a new server.

oh I see.. hehe. In my experience it was always like that, both players 8 units. In that case I think the alone player has an advantage.

[HiPlnzDrifta]

well Tomi i gotta say you do a very nice job of selling the samurai mod, however, i feel now that there is a new server why cant we just continue with STW??

i mean wasnt the whole essence to get people more involved in STW and S.O.S...

the controls and the entire feel of samurai mod will be entirely different and will take a lot of getting used to...

even though i am committed to doing this i dont think Kans may be... unless we can go back to STW i'm afraid the Wolves may pull out of the tourney... but dont hold me to that... where there is a will there is a way...

please reconsider Tomi, i doubt switching the tourney over to samurai mod is going to draw more entrants in so i see no real reason why we shouldnt continue as is on Ra's al Ghul's server...

please...

[Drisos]

Though I'm not on the tournament ( ) I agree with Drifta. Let's keep it to STW

[Hunter KIng George]

It would be nice to continue the cwc in STW, but I was rather dissapointed. I was looking forward for more regular stw players to jump on the bandwagon...I understand many that do can't at the moment. Besides the wolves, everyone else who joined the competition is currently active in VI. The stw community deserved a cwc tourny, especially for still being alive for so long. It was a pleasure and fun to meet some of you for the first time and honoring me with some excellent games.

With Respect, King

[HiPlnzDrifta]

Heya KingGeorge m8... dont talk like it is over c'mon Tomi... lets take it over to Ras server m8...

[Drisos]

Hi people,

Sorry to bump an old thread but it's rather important!

We could try to convince Tomi that it is possible to have a CWC Shogun contest. (details are in this thread) The only way to do so, is have a lot of people willing to play. So... action!

I would love to do this m8, once I get MP on STW WE/GE Sorted out, plus if it a 1v1 tournment for CWC, I would do it :-) :-)

Hello Drisos,

A few are playing SamWars MTW:VI, others are playing STW or STW WE. Basically the same game, but not that many players in either. How about bringing all together in one game?

[Trajanus]

I agree one game would net a larger market of people so to speak.

It just depends on what games everyone has etc.

Yes has, able to run, willing to run. Would it be viable to talk about this? If, so it would be a good start to list who plays what.

Yes that's what we should be aiming at.. I don't have MTW sadly(and a couple of others don't too I guess), but there's some people not able to log in on the shogun server so both games have it's problems.. which shall we choose?

MTW should be in the salesbin (though it seems to me that the older game STW always was more popular in shop than MTW, I can still buy legal copies of WE, but haven't seen MTW or VI for a while). And I don't recall I ever saw the Medieval Battle collection. But, that may be just me being Japanofiel.

How many people would need MTW VI? Perhaps one or more of the STW players can give it a try?

[Trajanus]

I have a version of MTW and VI...unfortunately my comp cant run it just yet. Need to wait till xmas to upgrade. I'm happy to play on the VI server with the Shogun Mod if people prefer that.

Trajanus

HAS: STW/WE - MTW/VI
ABLE TO RUN: STW/WE
WILLING TO RUN: STW/WE - MTW/VI

[Drisos]

I actually don't have any money right now, lol.. but when I do I'll see if I can find MTW somewhere here..
