Avatar Conquest/Unlock/Progression system - thoughts?

[Tomisama]

Just as long as it is clear to everyone beforhand, that this category is not "fair", it should be all right and you should not get those complaints that you are worried about. I am looking forward to see how it all pans out.

The level grouping has merit, but because that will always be changing, with three player team tournaments which can last up to six months, it probably wouldn’t be practical.

And the “not fair” agreement, is a good idea, and would probably work to keep order to a point. But the tension created in these tournaments can be extreme, and agreement or not, the claims of unfair, dishonorable, and cheater can, and has blown matches and whole contests to shreds.

You must have balance in contests. It is like gravity, you can’t stand up without it!

I think the avatar system is the best system ever.

I have all the total war series and have always abandoned singles campaign for MP games.

But MP games gets dulled fast and seeing new "rogue" players spaming powerful elite units has always kill my interest.

Now. in a way it kinds of balance things out, I don't have to worry about these new rogue players while I get to enjoy fun battles using
my veteran lower tier units against my oponents higher tier units or simply have a number advantage with fresh reasonable good troops against smaller elite armies.

I think its the coolest system so far.
