Disappointing game for me. I lost my leader twice in the first 20 turns. I was trying to do too much. I don't think this game made it to turn 30 so I lost my leader 3 times in 30 turns. Phirpo deserved a better tournament from me.

I was shocked that dread was able to launch such an effective cherub rush so quickly and so undetected. That was impressive.

yes, we too already assumed that Dread had a really strong game from what we saw. And after rookie lost he leader for the second time and his hero, which I topped with a desastrous battle on my own where I lost a highlevel hero, we knew it was practically over. but then rookie was too impatient and ignored my warning to build more defenders in his cities. he wanted to quickly reinforce his armies and build more settlers. so you took his capital with cherubs and held it with that mammoth and there was nothing we could do about it. we then just played on for an eventual chance that might come up that we couldnt maybe see yet...

Thank you everyone for the game!

Was an outstanding performance by Dread. From turn 15 and onward it was just evangelists converting, I stopped counting after 10.

Like Dread said, it was just turning interesting, I made a bait with a Sphinx and Sun guard to try get phirpo to attack, and then 6 expert Exalted was waiting on the cave exit to pounce.

I made some videos of my turns, and there is some valuable early game lessons there.

Hi! What turn did you reach so far?

user
Published on Thu, 25 Apr 2019 20:33:44 +0200

It have been rookies turn for a few days, did he send a team-only message?
We did quite a few turns over Easter so we are probably at a good pace anyway.

Im going away for a few days, will not be able to play my turns until Wednesday (17th) evening.
We do not have a turn timer and I would like it to stay so until Thursday at least.

Warning with proof, is the best you can get when you have a crash. It just for the record, without proof on the other hand is when you should be worried.

Windowed mode is definitely possible on a Mac, I used to play on one before. 
When you open the launcher, there is a tab with "Graphics", the very top option is "Display Mode" - there you can choose between: Windowed, Borderless, Fullscreen.

why a warning? Should I always make a screenshot once I open the PBEM interface? And I play on mac, I cannot play in a windowed mode. I can record with quicktime player, i think. And in my experience it crashes more often with debug mode on, but we ll see.

Fluksen has been chosen as temporary judge to help Jonny and me.
So after discussion, phirpo has a warning for reload and the proof is considered adequate this time. @phirpo: please play in debug mode from now on. I'm also sending more requests to you by PM.

You can continue whenever the Mac version of phirpo is patched...

Hi! We're discussing it with Jonny and appoiting a temporary judge to help with this match (not just for this crash but for the whole duration of the match).

Hi,

Sorry to hear you have some problems Phirpo.
I assume you sent a message to Hiliadan and Jonny Thunder so they can have a look at it?

I said both on the PBEM Tournament Player Pool and on this blog (https://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=actgames&actid=914&blogid=19882#19882) and it's also on the rules that the main branch of the balance mod had to be used (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=661597466). You should refer to the mod by its branch (main, beta, tournament), not its version number since all can be on v1.27.
The use of one branch over the other is determined by the constraints of maintaining each round on a constant version while updating the mod regularly with new versions and being able to test it. It's complicated enough, especially when rounds finish late. The tournament branch was created due to this constraint, not because all tournament rounds are going to be played on it.

The settings are good, you can start.
Next time you host, please host in windowed mode for AoW3 so that we can see the timestamp from your desktop.

Why have a tournament version if we don't use it for tournaments!?!?!?!

I have rehosted with regular version 1.27. Password is pugpug

I am sure all the settings are good since I haven't changed them:

Hi rrrookie,

You hosted the game with tournament edition and not the main branch of the balance mod.
Tournament edition is 1.26 and main branch is 1.27 so you have to rehost <smiletext6>

Maybe this could have been communicated better, but hopefully you can quickly rehost with the exact same settings you previously got approval for.

Same password of pugpug. I am subscribed and updated my mods so hopefully I am hosting with the correct version of strong defenders normal rewards.

The SNDR mod was updated 0.23 and you hosted some time before 0.32 so it possible you hosted with the older version.
Maybe safest to rehost and update the mods before.

user

I did use it but that is no problem. I can rehost.

Hi settings look good, but I was a bit too impatient and had forgotten SDNR needed to be updated, so you'll probably have to rehost, sorry. I'll keep you updated tomorrow evening.

You confirm you used the main branch + SDNR mod?
