I need to know what you mean before I vote...

[Demon of Light]

Absolutely what I was thinking. Obviously, there isn't any thought being given to .org members doing shot puts but I would need to know what sort of competition you're talking about before I vote.

I think that we should wait for RTW because then the olympics could consist of more games. Ex: Shogun Olympics, MTW Olympics, VI Olympics, and RTW Olympics. Also you could have different eras in each game and give out medals and stuff. It just would be pretty interesting.

I think you want us to get together to run in circles, jump in the sand, and throw rocks realy far. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/cheers.gif

Amen to the Olympics

[AqConsul]

Lest we forget when talking about the Olympics the completely useless game/ sport of curling LOL

Im glad people are posting concerns and interests to see who would be interested

[Gregoshi]

Shields, since you started the topic, what kind of events did you have in mind?

[Storm_Of_Shields]

Well right now im really not sure but i strated to see if anyone would be interested in something like that and then eventually if so allowing them to decide what events should take place like tournaments etc.. etc..

But certainly ill continue tothink of possibilities

I believe that the idea for a TW Olympics is cool, but I think that the idea is sorta what the Tourneys are for (and also the HOF Awards). I dont know perhaps you are thinking of stuff that is VERY origonal.

Consul

[Gregoshi]

Hmmm http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-wall.gif Ouch That doesn't help Shields.

Ideas:

1) all cav competition (track)
2) all archers (duel) NO PAVS
3) fastest victory
4) rout the peasants - custom battle against a fixed army of peasants. Compete for most kills?, fastest time? Kills per minute (average)?
5) weightlifting: custom battle against army of valour 1 knights. Survivors (winners) move on to valour 2 knights, then valour 3 and finally (if any) valour 4 knights. If all survivor get knocked out on a particular round, then most kills wins (or whatever).
6) use Blind King's artillery vs peasant army idea (see elsewhere in this forum) for quickest elimination or most kills.

These events can have lightweight (10k), middleweight (25k) and heavyweight (50k+?) classes. Note that some are head-to-head others are custom battles - replays and log files to document.

How's that for a start?

[Clips]

Yeh i like the whole idea of an olympics but really man we need more info and isnt it just gonna be like another tournament when theres already enough im in :P

[nightcrawlerblue]

Lemme guess... The jousting competition. Get two Chivalric Knights and run them at each other

Actually curling is probably the only sport that isn't useless, because at least they sweep the floor while playing it.

[Storm_Of_Shields]

Hi Sheilds

For some variation away from the normal tourny type games, how about including some of the less favoured maps and climates; after all - the most skilled clans shouldnt fear these should they?

You might think about Castle maps, river maps, or even designing some custom maps for the tourney (maybe only releasing them the day before a game - for maximum pressure). Include Sandy desert and Winter snowstorms for added fun. Make each team attack then defend a Hilly to Mountains map maybe? Just keep as far away as possible from the normal balancing act (arid; steppes, flat or plains), ensure each team/clan has a fair shot at attacking or defending.

*waits to be slated by those who dislike the idea of something innovative*

[Gregoshi]

Not bad ideas Scar. Ideas based on your ideas:

The hill or mountain maps can have a King of the Hill type theme. Hilltop defender gets an artillery piece. Attacker must try to destroy that artillery piece.

Naptha Throwers bridge battle: all (or 1/2) Naptha Throwers and a bridge. Let the carnage begin These could be real fast games. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-devil.gif

Bridge Bowling: 4 (more?) heavy artillery pieces defend a bridge against a foot army. Attacker: destroy the artillery. Defender: repel attacker and/or get as many kills as you can.

Castles...that is a toughy. A Three Little Pigs/Big Bad Wolf theme comes to mind.

A new idea from me:

Hashishin-and-go-seek: a hide-and-seek type game with both sides taking all Hashishin. These could make for loooong games - opposite of the Naptha Thrower bridge battle. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif For a really sick game - no timer. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-devil.gif

Obviously, some of these involve less skill but might compensate for the fun factor. I crack up at the thought of those Naptha Thrower bridge battles. And play testing them would be key to ensure some kind of balance.

[Storm_Of_Shields]

I love these ideas very very very Good ideas also Coldy might have a perfect map for that king of the hill idea but good good good i love this all

also i like lumies project of a world cup maybe this can be joined and create some kind of gr8 thing

Ahem, Greg...BLIND King's idea? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

[Gregoshi]

Doh I knew I'd do that one day. Big King Sanctaphrax and The Blind King of Bohemia: Big King...Blind King...Return of the King...Favourite Things...The West Wing. My http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-tiny.gif brain can't sort through it all sometimes.

No prob man http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif

[katank]

we can definitely use kill counts for all missiles.

1) cavalry biathlon: all HA, shoot up peasants.
2) javelin throw: any jav troops @peasants
3) naptha bowling: naptha, possibly modded for double range @ peasants in wedge formation
4) archery: most kills vs. variety of targets, knights, m@a, spears, peasants, etc.

After so much abuse, we should also have a peasants' revenge event with fully upgraded, V9 peasants vs. V0 unupgraded units of some sort and watch the peasants win for once

king of hill with castle defense would be cool if we have several ppl trying to take control of castle and hold it for a victory timer period.

we can also have siege competitions in who blasts down most walls and structures in given period of time.

horribly inaccurate things like mortars can be good for kicks.

also, have you tried what I simply call slaughter house? line up two organ guns with 4-5 culvs/serpentines behind a bridge and rest pav. arbs guarding the bridge vs. whatever units and see how many you can hold off and how many kills.

[Gawain of Orkeny]

I would suggest that the teams be made up of teams from each country not from clans you know US Canada England Italy ect like the real olympics.

[katank]

what about factions in the game?

[Storm_Of_Shields]

The ideas poored in i will began getting this somewhat underway if anyone wishes to come and help u r most certainly welcome to.

[Nowake]

In my opinion, I don't think it's such a good ideea, but who knows .. people should try and keep the notion of valour related to skill in actual play ..

[Storm_Of_Shields]

ok ive put this off a bit too long and with Luminous and his collecting of people and nations i can get this started thank you all for the ideas
