The Official Tanuki Tournament Thread

[phonicsmonkey]

I suggest phonicmonkey switches on his PC, hosts a battle with the ultra super secret password "Banana juice on Friday afternoon, but only during Summer and at beach volleyball happenings" and then goes to sleep. He'll probably perform better when sleeping then while being awake anyway.

I'll join the battle and will probably lose BEAT HIM AND REDUCE HIS ARMY TO A BLOODY PULP!!!

How did it go?

ggs Monk and issaikhaan :)

I would recommend to use classic mode in the future, that way you all have more units to make funny games with :D

Probably a good idea. I logged in only to find that my avatar got reset somehow, so all I had availible was ashigaru, Light cav and bow samurai

Khann was a sport and agreed to play with similiar units.

Monkey 2, Belgians 0

I'll upload the replays if anyone can tell me how to find them...

[Andres]

Congratulations, monkey

Saved the replays, if somebody could be so kind to explain how to make them available.

[Monk]

You can find saved replays in (win 7) C:\users\<username>\appdata\roaming\the creative assembly\shogun2\replays

Appdata is hidden so you may need to enable hidden files first.

[phonicsmonkey]

Here are the replays of our titanic struggle.

[Visor]

That's 1 for the Throne Room. Now go kill everyone else Phonics. :D

[GeneralHankerchief]

In news that surely is not of interest to anybody, Kagemusha has triumphed over GeneralHankerchief 2-0. The first battle was cut short due to connection issues, but it was mutually agreed upon that Kage had the upper hand and I conceded the game to him. For the second battle, we agreed on a daimyo-only duel that had... horrific results. Nicely played, Kage!

[Kagemusha]

Thank you for the games GH! It was indeed noble act to save the rest of your armies by sacrificing yourself and your retainers. Now where is that Cow with his tinhead! No doubt training with the Aggony´s!

[Gregoshi]

Congratulations Kage. Since you have your heart set so badly to meet TinCudchewer, I guess I could let him "beat" me.

I am busy preparing by not preparing. I don't want my mind cluttered with pre-conceived notions as how the game is supposed to be played. I want my battle creativity to flow in the moment - using pure inspiration to achieve the acme of my skills.

Your strategy is inferior. I am preparing by playing The Witcher 2. I can now kill dozens of men with but a single soldier. Imagine what I will be able to accomplish with an entire army!

[TinCow]

Gregoshi's humor was no defense against the might of the cow! He falls 3-1 in a best of 5 series. All were classic battles. Rules were as follows:

Battle 1) Regular classic
Battle 2) Artillery duel - 8 mangonels each
Battle 3) Ninja Madness - All ninjas, with night, rain, and fog
Battle 4) All gunpowder - All units must be matchlocks, bomb throwers, rockets, or cannons. Max 2 cannons per player.

Replays here. I highly recommend watching the ninja battle, it was awesome.

[TinCow]

Also, once Andres and Monk play, I can put all this on the real bracket.

[Kagemusha]

Did you loose an eye in the match or why your face is covered in blood?Or just too much single malt last night eh?

[TinCow]

That is blood! The blood of my enemies! Or it would be if I had enemies. Which I don't. Because everyone likes me. So, I guess it's really the blood of my friends.

[Gregoshi]

I highly recommend watching the ninja battle, it was awesome.

It always helps to understand that ninjas have a "stealth" ability, which I didn't until near the end when it was too late. BTW, my ninjas did not think it was "awesome", though as a theme battle, pajamas, stealth, night, rain and fog are hard to beat - and see.

I still don't understand how I won the artillery duel as I don't think I figured out how to get my mongonels to fire for the first minute or two. Or, if they did fire, I didn't see it - all I saw was incoming fire.

If if is worth watching - be it for awesomeness or just plain fun - would you consider making a video of it ?

[TinCow]

I'll see what I can do.

Excuse me for being a n00b, but how do you select classic mode?

[TinCow]

Excuse me for being a n00b, but how do you select classic mode?

IIRC, there's a check-box for classic battles just below the 'host' button.

Here's a commentary video of the ninja battle. Sorry about the sound effects drowning out my voice, didn't realize the flash bombs would be so loud while I was recording. I'll adjust sound effects in the future if I do another one of these:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but:

Once the following matches have been played, we will input the results into the Tanuki Tournament Bracket on the forum utility and conduct the rest of the tournament in the automated bracket itself:
A) phonicsmonkey v Andres
D) issaikhaan v Monk
Loser of A v Loser of D

I didn't lose. I won 2-0 in a best of 3. You're looking for Issaikhann.

[TinCow]

Sorry, misread the results post. You are correct, it's Andres v 'khaan that needs to be fought so that I can put the rest on the bracket.

[Monk]

Haha, yeah that's right. There's no escape from what coming for you TinCow. If you listen real close, you can hear it. The rumble on the ground and the screaming in the air. Can ya hear it? The pain train's a-coming, TC and you're laying right on the tracks.

Excellent commentary TC. I was laughing my butt off.

[phonicsmonkey]

the "there is no other" rother and I will be fighting on tuesday because he was too scared to fight me monday

I am sharpening my monkey hammer in preparation

[therother]

Ha, I gave you an extra day to live as you started blubbering about feeding babies!

[phonicsmonkey]

No, I threatened to feed your babies....to Tincow! I knew you weren't listening...

[therother]

Ah, that would indeed make more sense. Difficult to follow your high-pitched, girly wailing though.
