<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">The SE4 Rating System and KOTH are also good structures for generating games.

Mauro, one of the problems with triathlons is that the required events limit the potential pool of participants and severely limit the pool of potentially interested participants. IMO, your range of events might be similarly constraining. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I really don't think so ! MY idea was based on a first phase with 4 games... how many players now writing on these forums plays 4 or more games at the same time? (lots of them!) .. I said these 4 games should take place in a small galaxy with a limited number of players (6)... just in order to make them another time LIGHTER (in time and micromanagement of great empires costs). So i don't think that the problem is TIME. May be we will loss some players, but the bigger part of them (if really interested) will only have not to join other normal games while playing the tourney.

ON 1Vs1 and Multiple players game :
I don't think 1vs1 as a completely bad setting of play, but i think that diplomacy, trade, variety of enemies/allies and the fact you don't necessary have to mantain your empire under war status all the time are more interesting than a deathmatch. And the ability of a complete se4 player is, IMO, the ability of change game situation continously (anf it happens more frequently with multple players game when there are more brains working in the same game at the same time! - AI is not a brain as you all know http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif )

Re: SE4 World Championship ?
 

Good idea Mauro but way too ambitious. With KOTH and the Rating Bash going on (+ a few fun games) there is no way I would have had the time to join http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Also, the winner of any 5 - 20 player games is almost down to pure luck. Sure, the winner will be a good player, but with such high stakes everybody would gang up on the favourites at the start. The only true test of playing skills comes from one-on-one games (or games with pre-set teams).

Give the Rating System another half year, and you will find most of the contenders for the "Greatest players of the galaxy" on the top (Stone is still AWOL though).

Thanks.
I'm from a little town near Rovigo, 45 minutes away from Padua, 90 minutes from Venice. I don't think NE Italy is a good place to live in, anyway... to much populated in my opinion!

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Well, good thing you don't live in Rome...LOL!

I liked Northern Italy because the people seemed more friendly. Also, in the extreme Northern parts, I could speak German with them if they didn't speak English. And finally, it is much more beautiful! After all, it's the home of the Dolomites. And more trees. Ahhhhh...I miss traveling on country roads in foreign countries.

Re: SE4 World Championship ?
 

i will play with what ever format you come up with.

I am thinking that you can look post Messages in the koth and Ratings leagues to fill out spots http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: SE4 World Championship ?
 

Which is the rating system site?

Re: SE4 World Championship ?
 

By the way, what city are you near? The best I can figure with Google is you are somewhere near Vicenza (I've been there), Cortina (been there, too), or Venice (duh!). I must confess to liking Northern Italy more than Southern Italy.
