    Default Cwc Stw

    Tomi,

    Are you definitely moving the CWC Shogun Contest to STWmod for MTW/VI? If so, you'll probably pick up some new contestants, but also loose some of the old contestants. Keep in mind that the maps in MTW/VI have a 3 tile red zone which cannot be entered while the maps in STW have a 2 tile red zone which can be entered. That takes away a substantial part of the playable area of a small map. If you did move to large maps, you cold go back to a 4v4 contest if there's enough interest. I have played 4v4 STWmod on large maps, and I don't think fatigue is too much of a problem.

    _________Designed to match Original STW gameplay.

    It has definitely been moved, and will not be moved back.

    If the Contest fails, it fails.

    I have been here before in similar circumstances, and am absolutely certain of what the outcome would be if we were to switch back. Some times you just have to accept your losses and push ahead. And I believe that this is one of those times.

    We will see what happens this weekend, if any Clan Emissaries post accepting the new Rules, or not . But in any case, we will not be going back. If the current Contestants do not take up the STW mod banner, then we will move on and start up a new Competition for those who do want to play it.

    A grand salute to R’as for trying to save Shogun. I really admire his spirit and would have told him so, but can’t encourage him because I already know what the results will be. It’s a shame we have to go through all of the stuff, when all we want to do is play a game.




    P.S. Will have to look at the map possibility of larger maps and 4v4 format. But as the Contest stands now, we are at 3v3 on the same maps we used for the Samurai comp.

    Thanks for the kind words Tomisama, even if they weren't directly addressed at me. I'm old enough to know what to expect, so there's no problem at all if my server isn't used. I will just turn it off again after a while. But I'll keep it open as a possibility for the next days/ weeks. I want to see how this evolves.

    Concerning your CWC, if you move to VI, I'd have this frontend update, which I did for the Samurai mod. It's some eye-candy, nothing more. It was intended to be included in the next version, but right now barocca isn't responding and I don't know if there'll ever be a new beta.
    If you or anybody else is interested in the files I can upload them.
    I just thought it'd make a nice addition to the online flair.

    It would take a few hours for me (to get home and upload).
    I don't expect any compatibility problems if it's not downloaded by everyone who joins the CWC.

    (Knew you’d see it R’as )

    Looking Great!

    I myself would like very much to have those frontend pages, and I am sure there are others. I have a separate copy of VI dedicated the STW mod, that is ready and waiting for the final touches.

    Thanks
