Reminds me of the Survivor 1 Tournament.

(Maybe I should have retired a champion, instead of being whipped like an old hasbeen)

But if your keen for a ultra violence match up we can play a 4-6 man in a small galazy with no trading. Drop us an email.

What??? That makes no sense! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: "Survivor 2" Round 10 is about to start
 

Ok. So if I take my warp closers and stealthily cut someone else off from the rest of the map, does that mean that I've eliminated them? That would suck! Enough warp closers, and you are unstoppable! Just make a treaty with someone, place your WP closers on the strategic warppoints, then close them all at once. Presto, instant elimination!

Maybe the map should look something like the one in Adamant 4. There is an average of about 6 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif warppoints per system. (I'd really like to know how he did that!) It would be nigh impossible to play the turtle defense on that map, except that it's a cluster map. So there are strategic WPs to close. If it was midlife, with the same # of WPs....

Re: "Survivor 2" Round 10 is about to start
 

Dumbluck, go into QuadrantTypes.txt. Look for these lines:

Max Warp Points per Sys := 5
Min Angle Between WP := 60

Double the max WPs and halve the min angle. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: "Survivor 2" Round 10 is about to start
 

Dumbluck, as I said I really don't think it is likely to come up, but if it does I am going to come down hard on the player doing the closing, not the one being closed off. That's not a valid method for eliminating someone in my book.
