+1 would love to see this tournament again in the next months :DReally great tournament Nili![]()
Maybe some variation in civs in qualifiers could be fun, sometime it got kinda stale with same armies clashing all the time.
But all in all great fun and something way different from usual

To be fair, for all your talk of saving gold and not attacking. The player who won the final this evening only had halbs, hussars (or was it even light cavs??) and rams for his last push. :D

If you want to quote me, please do it properly or take some part not like this next time, it's pretty disrespectful. I was part of the final btw, so I know well what was happening in the game, no need someone to tell me. Yes he won with trash + rams, there are couple of reasons why he won it this way, one of them is for example that other players had trash as well, robo wasn't playing against him as much as he did against other players (instead killing me, which gave future more space around the monument and since me and tom had the best positions to push future out of the monument, it was pretty helpful too), both robo and tom sent their armies late, putting the gather/patrol point on the monument 5 years faster they would push future out. Future played well, but I guess even you will agree that if hedidn't loose all his army, castles and so on the first very close attempt to get the monument then his last attempt would work even better.
IMO by far best strategy from all games was today glokken and even more Pedro in q8, just getting resources, saving gold, walling and not playing for the middle, until getting to that point, where you delete all your vills, mass 200 strongest possible army that other players (which already had to fight for the middle) absolutely can't match, mass 100 production buildings around with queued units and easily win the game. And then you have there players who have to save the day couple of times, fighting for the monument and then ofcourse starving for gold. So what's the purpose of this - the biggest '*****' wins it, when others have to do all the work (this is not only my opinion, I've spoke with friends who had way more experience than me with King of the hill mod and they all told me, this is why they pretty much stopped playing it). I think it's a way too unfair this way, I'd like to see rewarding 'like most active player' out of those who didn't win, and maybe letting him advance together with the winner? Best example today Vinchester - always trying to get middle or saving all by attackign the middle on his own and imagine if Jose didn't hold it, Pedro would just come and kill all, because he still had 15k gold, while others 0, not saying anything against Pedro, for this mod by far the best strategy but not fair by any means.
Thx I play poker every day.I think thats exactly the beauty of this setup. It takes the game to a new, psychological level. Play poker
The game isnt only about strategy, especially this mod is so much about correct timing. Let me put it this way - pedro had biggest chance to win, because of his strategy, he just waited too long. I didn't use same strategy as pedro, I didn't have enough gold in my base to do it, I thought my best chance was to get it quite fast, when everybody will be still booming and trying to raid others around, because I thought that all in gold attack by celt is unstoppable (I still think so, just needs better micro and a bit less lag and maybe slightly better position with buildings around the monument) + possibly walling it, which would give player quite some time. Another problem was, that when I was preparing my own attack, I had to use my units to get future out of wonder, otherwise we would loose very fast. Lastly, according to statistics my attack was the biggest here, but it was very poorly timed, everybody went into middle and they killed me very fast. To be fair, I think it was by them best defense and team cooperation out of all games (maybe together with killing glokken's push in q8, it was very well done too).So pedro hat by far the best strat but didnt win? And you used the same but got defeated? Future was the one who tried it 3x and won it with 95% trashunits.... also tatoh went instant to the middle in the qualifier and held it til the end....
