That's why you have chat, if you all played exactly what was needed you'd have stopped Feanor. The teamplay in the Finals was very poor actually, which turned it into quite dissapointing game. Goth is holding the middle, 50 years left, none of you paused to ask others what to do, how to kill the goth, what he has, none gave any orders what to do.*Of course some of the criticism directed against me is also due to the fact that many viewers just forget that we don't have all reveal like the caster does :lol:.
Was this a joke or not? 2nd picking, going for Saracen. No way.My civ choice (saracens) was also criticzed, but I think people have realized that it is actually one of the best civs in this kind of game, because of the market bonus and the very strong tech tree.
How can you ever criticize picking mayans, when 1 sentence before you say you'd go for redemption and block printing. Moreover player picking saracen as 2nd choice shouldn't be allowed to criticize player picking mayans as 8th choice, reallyIf persians had redemption and block printing, I would have gone for persians, though. The only civ choice I don't understand is mayans... there is no way you could seriously hold the wonder against SO's
I liked the settings in overall, just 2 things:
1) In Final I wouldve allowed to pick civ freely, so people can come up with a strategy and we can see it in the stream.
2) I would prefer to have players in same skill level to play in an FFA. In some cases, the "noobish" players didnt focus enough in the middle, they preferred to troll around and kill the ones who were next to them. Also sometimes the noobish players weren't being a real threat to their neighbours, so the neighbours just freely boomed and took away the important resources + mapcontrol. Maybe 2 Finals with high and low ranked players would be better (i.e. 2 winners and 2 prizes).
Having a map which has stone is definitely important in my opinion. Without stone it nerfs 95% of civs, making civs such as mongols, turks, saracens, etc weak. So, if Chaos pit was tweaked so there was stone on the outside, I'd say it would be perfect!
i thought no one gonna pik goth because all would try to kill him first... seems i was wrong 1111
people like more killing turks and byzantines
Technically Skittle (as Turks) attacked the maya and myself at the same time. I had no intention of attacking him until I saw 15 cannons and hc attacking me. If he attacks both of us at the same time ... :roll: :Pi thought no one gonna pik goth because all would try to kill him first... seems i was wrong 1111

This. So goths as a civ choice def werent OP. People just let goth be undisturbed in the final, and thus let him have insane eco and a player like Feanor surely will use that advantage when it was given to him.
For example, they doubled skittle as turks, mongols went all in to kill max eco instead of playing the objective, saracen mined all of max's stone and then sat on base with huge mame army, celt fought with spanish who was doing champs the entire game, and nobody even looked at Feanors way.
So, conclusion: Many "WTF are the players thinking, letting goth rule free??"- thoughts and a lot of laughs.
And finally, I'd like to see this as a weekly format, even without prizes. Way more entertaining to watch than the "regular" tournaments with every single game having maya/mongol/hun and the 4th civ being vik, spain, china, pers, depending on the map.
You rock nili!
