A new SC Competition - 2 different trials

[Azhur]

Those devils will be somewhat difficult to beat.. well I'll give my shot soon.

[Turin]

nice I sent you my pretender, hope he lasts through the first round .

Ok i recieved 2 Participants so far from Azhur and Turin .

According the 15 rounds i wrote that it will be something like this, that means that it could change slightly, i might e.g. replace the devils by FoDs etc..

Once i have all pretenders recieved i will thinkout a point system for trial 2, the 15 rounds vs. different enemies.
The points will differ, for the first of the 5 rounds vs. a specific class of enemies there will be always the fewest points to score while for the last one if the SC succeeds he will get the most points.
It will be probably this way:
the 5 rounds vs. troops:
Round 1 : 1 point per dead troop + 100 points for a win
Round 2 : 1 point per dead troop + 200 points for a win
Round 3 : 1 point per dead troop + 300 points for a win
etc.

Vs. the SCs and Mages you will get only points for a win, probably the following points :
Round 1 : 150 points for a win
Round 2 : 300 points for a win
Round 3 : 400 points for a win
Round 4 : 500 points for a win
Round 6 : 600 points for a win

I think that the original point system (1 point per victory) is better. The idea is to build the best all-around SC. With different points, you encourage contestants to concentrate on the later rounds. I also don't like rewarding kills in addition to victories. Maybe you could keep track of kills for a tiebreaker, but the main focus should be on winning battles.

You might also consider having a couple of rounds with masses of lifeless creatures so that lifedraining is not always useful.

I am not submitting a SC, but that's my 2 cents anyway.

Lifedrain shouldn't be an issue at all. 3 Words : ZEN'S ITEM 1.0 !!!!!!

AAHHHH red text, it buuurns!

I'd like to participate. Sounds like a lot of work on your part...

Will there be no restrictions on scripting mind-control spells? Those sort of made everything but MR and penetration irrelevant last time.

Yeah you can do mind control etc. too since then you might have good chances to win trial 1 but probably bad chances to win trial 2 vs. troops/mages and SCs. After every round everything is restored, so you don't take over your mind enslaved enemies and get stronger each battle.
