This no slinging rule is the most ***** thing you could think for this tourney. Slinging makes TG way more funny for spectators and creates great oppurtunities.
I dunno why there has been a survey about slinging in aoczone and the results were not taken into consideration. Slinging makes TG even more based on strategy rather then only on skills.
Anyway the poor Viper already said several times slinging ruins the game... this bs only cause he feels the best player but honestly vs sling he dies hard. Tyrant dont want the surprise factor.
You have to be thankful that this most hilarious (kinda ******ed) rule of no laming till min 7 from TEL is not there.
No Dark Age "laming"
As "laming" will be considered:
- stealing sheep;
- stealing boar;
- blocking the villager luring the boar;
- killing deers;
- removing with palisade the trees next to enemy's TC;
- walling off enemy resources;
- attacking with scout/eagle enemy villagers before minute 7 (this rule doesn't apply on "Black Forest").
On no-TC-start maps (Nomad; LandNomad), as laming will only be considered:
- villager wars before TC's are up;
- No Barracks, no Palisade Wall and no more than one House may be built until the first TC is up.
Please keep in mind this is a Dark Age rule. As soon as one player hits Feudal Age, this rule no longer applies.
