It's time for a new Tournament...Ratings Bash I

I guess any kind of naming convention works as long as we have a key.

You could organize different types into subfolders and not worry about the name so much. But I guess either way works.

Well, Geo, let me remind you of our cardinal rule in IT (well, it's an old programmer saying but you should be familiar with it by now):

"Why make something simple and easy to understand when we can find a way to make it complex and wonderful?"

J/K, Tesco...

BTW, I might suggest: Pn-Rn-Un-Sn-Tn-Vn.map

Where:

P = Players
R = Resources
U - Ruins
S = Size
T = Type
V = Version

n = numeric value

(If you liked acronyms, you could even swap it around and call it SPURTv.map)

I would like to see some subfolder organization, it would make much easier to search a certain map. What about two specific starting positions for each player, does it work?

Tesco, I hope you're not using the map editor when you generate the maps. It has poor randomness, every time you start the program again you'll get the same maps in the same order.

Turn 74: Guzguy surrenders.
Goz is certainly one though dude, fighting on to the Last man instead of folding early. A bit of luck and a few strategically placed minefields early and the Horde managed to secure the larger part of the map. From there on it was just a slow, slow grind to the end.

Then it�s us next Gecko. Any specific settings you would like ? I am game for most setups, but I prefer a no Ancient rule.

Geo, when you get a chance, can you take a look at the 'Ratings Bash - Slynky vs Baron Grazic' game. Thanks.
The error message is :-
[ERROR] Execution of next turn failed: Bad master password (geoschmo)

Hmmm... No Ancient + No Intel and you have an agreement.

Thanks Geo for fixing it the first time, but it has happened again.
Slynky - looks like the game will need a restart - dam.
