Delicious Easter Mixed Teams 3v3

[DRAGONMILK]

*This will be at 14 GMT on Monday, April 3*

With Easter comes our final mixed teams 3v3 match, and we've expanded the cast of characters. This time it’s Team Eggroll vs. Team Fondue!

Format:​

For the purposes of this 5-game show match, Team Eggroll (E) consists of Viper, Nicov, and Ganji, while Team Fondue (F) features Daut, Villese, and Sitaux.

• Six vil start for all maps (+3 vil, +1 house)
• There is a 5-map pool (see appendix) for a modified hidden pick, no repeat series
• Game 1 is on the set map, Shady Fish Market
• The teams then do a Delicious 5 civ draft:
• 4 global civ bans in E, FF, E order
• Teams draft 4 exclusive civs each in F, EE, FF, EE, F order
• For avoidance of doubt, teams are drafting civs that the other team may not pick. They can but do not need to pick these civs themselves.
• Each game then proceeds hidden pick, no repeat, but with the civ restrictions (8 for each team) from the draft.
• The loser of each game picks the next map from the remaining maps
• See recent Delicious show matches for civ drafting examples
• No Sling rules, but efficiency reduced to 50% with increases to coinage and banking research costs
• For this show match, shared exploration will also be OFF

​

Spoiler: Map Descriptions

Map Spoilers:
Shady Fish Market (SET MAP)** – This NAC4 map was modified to be Delicious for team games – and renamed so it actually launches! This means Fish on land and a neutral market to send your near-sighted flying trade carts to. Gold rings have also been lowered before elevating. Flanks may fight for goldfish while pockets could journey for turtle rocks in the center. Ultimately, teams will have to choose which flank to prioritize with all neutral golds in the side enclosures. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.

Chile Con Carne – For those who like keeping friends close and enemies closer, this map is for you. A lameable feast, if you lose a boar or two you can find elephants and extra gold/stones/trees along the ring. Will anyone try to actually dock the middle with such spawn positions?

Chive Topped Hummus – FKA Applesauce, this less wallable Arabia clone is more like Atacama. With few trees and front hills near resources, players will really need to pump out army. You start with just 1 rhino but can risk luring the plentiful elephants in the middle where the rest of the primary wood clump lies as well. Just don’t be picky about TC spots.

Peace-O-Pizza – This Land Nomad start features 2 vils for each player in each of the 3 pizza slices. One slice has pure food and plenty of it. One slice has box turtles under the stones. And another has the only inner gold but sparser food. Teams will have to coordinate their starting positions as the chop out will take longer than the chaos within.

Duel Enchiladas** – We cut out the middle enchilada and replaced it with a tiny mound of Ibex to fit our Enchilada map for 3v3. Players also start closer to each other to encourage proper duels. With these changes, will fast castle still be the play for this hybrid map?

**Important Note: For Shady Fish Market and Duel Enchiladas, teams need to be split odd/even and only use numbers 1 through 6 in order for team positions to work.
