Sign me in.

I hope we start a bit earlier than last time. :)

Sign me in please :)

I wanted to play but you are starting 4 hours to early for me. : /   Still at work when you start. Damn Canada and our slow time setting.

ohh that sucks :s and if we start 2 hours later can you? or you have to wait 4 hours to play, cant you play at work ? XD , u used to play dark omen in my fathers office pc  heheh

Yeah it would need to be 4 hours later for me to play. I am sure that is to late for some people though. : /    If you guys started playing Sundays would you get more players or less? ( I like Sundays)  ;D

Well if the tournament starts 2 hours later I could join too (although i have no idea of the ruleset until now xD), but like this, I have to have lunch about one hour after it starts...

If we pass the Conquestday to Sunday... (same time), is there a possibility to hari8 and Christophobs to play at the accorded hour (so we start early)?

This is for adding Chris to Conquestday + starting early (due to hari8)

I post this today Tuesday, so the others confirmed to play, tell their opinion with enough time if its viable to change to Sunday (Kilowic / Olly).

If we move it to Sunday I am in fir sure.  I understand if you play later on Saturday it might be too late for some people so I wont ask for you to play later. <3

Sunday is fine by me but I won't be here until 6pm, is there any benefit to perhaps making our initial Map Moves/Turns before Sunday, to maybe speed things up?

:)

For me there is no problem :) And Ollys idea is nice :) maybe we can pick the regions earlier ?

No :) That only takes 5 minutes.

Requires from the available people in that day to play, also since its 1 by 1, doing that with "Posts" isnt convenient.

If we did that, and someone suddenly cant show up, then the selection wouldnt be the same, plus i would have to remake Map.

Can u estimate how long it could take?


I'm sure u suppose 6 pm GMT? Maybe we could start 6:30 GMT or something like that, it would be "late enough" for me ;)


And I have a question concerning the ruleset:


I don't get this part^^ If the Attacker e.g. takes his 5k army the Defender can choose his 9k?! Or is only in this example 5k and 3k possible?

It depends on how much money they have :) I had the same problem with understanding this.
If attacker can affor 9k army and defender can't and he don't want to give the region for free he can try to defend it with smaller army (7,5,3k). All depends on money he got.
Conquest is not only battles to win but also you tactic to wise use your gold.

Can't we choose faction yet ? I'd play Alliance again :)

Ok thanks! I think I just need to play one time to get it all ;)

Hmm... I take Bloodlines.

Yes, thats something we can do before day comes :)
 
I also consider that Olly will play Orcs. When players CONFIRM they will play, thats the moment to pick factions... we are in confirmation period almost, so doesnt make any difference. I trust you will be here for Sunday.

Then there are 3 remaining factions: Mercenaries, Goblins, Dynasty.

I may be there not sure if i can make it, i'll take leftovers.

6 people and 5 teams?  :o

Theres 6 races, and it doesnt really matter if theres a repeat it's just is nice to try and avoid it.

I completely missed the second Orc list lol. 

Ok, I have changed the official Time and Date to Sunday 13th November starting at 6.30pm, if thats ok with everyone>?

Please Confirm

:)

I confirm

I confirm!

I uploaded FO again... with the changes based in some remainings flaws from prev tournament...

I ask everyone to download this last update so we dont get different Armies stats.

Lets enjoy this new Conquestday... the balance changes hope to be the last (UD's and other price tweaks).



Im ready for this Sunday

The problem with price changes though is that most of us have made our army lists already with the old settings.

Anyway, I dont know if I want to join this because of how long they usually take with a larger amount of people and that I haven't played in a while and im a bit rusty skill-wise.

Thanks for the updated FO Jeronimo and 

Please don't view the Tournaments as too competitive, since they were basically created to provide some structured times when all fans could be online to play and meet each other, as many new fans would mention that it is sometimes hard to find a Multiplayer game.

Hope you can all join the fun and I do agree that sometimes they go on too long but we are getting better.

:)

yes, is not big price changes,, more focused in some tweakes like Mummies back to L8, since L10 /leadership 10, made them a very tough force with few chances to rout... which caused to not need Defiance at all with UD top troops.

About being rusty, no problems, though yes if you are sleepy (like once ago, where you played until Round 2).



Emergency: I removed Link, I ll upload it again in some hours,, there is no hurry...
Just that didnt expect so fast responses. :D

Tomorrow Saturday will be available again.

I confirm. When do we pick races?

Haha yeah I remember that Jeronimo, that was because I was on the beach all night that night and did not sleep at all. Don't worry, it shouldnt be a problem ;).

Sign me up for Mercs then!

GOBLINS ME ME ME!!!!


Where is the DL link for new version?


Half of the people are on and playing it right now lol.  Now I am left out. -___-

Link: I ll put again tomorrow :( sorry for the inconvenients.

Something wrong with it.

Aye. Tommorrow it is then.

Jeronimo. I downloaded new version of Fair Omen yesterday before you deleted the link. Are you changing something else in the game? Becouse I used that version to make my armies. Do I need to download it again or you will put the same version that you put here yesterday ?

Hm, the Download link in the wiki isn't working...

So we are a few hours out and there is no version available.  :o

As an aside question what time is the tournament supposed to take place when looking at the forum clock. Is it 6:30 pm As well?

I will play with remaining faction -> Dynasty

Apologizes for the late upload...

So long as your in game ranger i guess.

Nope, just pressed 'Yes' the wrong time  :-X

Hey guys, sorry I wasn't able to join in due to a problem with my router that regularly caused my connection to go off. Doesnt look like theres any room left for me left in this Conquest, but I'll be sure to stick around and play a few matches with you guys.

We could not finish. Many people failed at learning GMT time and my version of FO was all messed up. Were going to spend the week dry running this version to ensure Sunday will go flawlessly. There is a new version of FO out you should DL in case we need a stand in for Sunday?

Darks Mini Tournament

There seems to be alot of downtime in a conquest whilst nothing much happening so if people are interested, to prevent boredom i'll do a mini tournament along side the conquest.

Rules
Participation is voluntary

Players must use the 9 Default armies that come with the game (Warriors of sigmar, etc).

Any player can challenge another.

A player gets a point if he wins a battle

Draws are not counted

If you lose the battle, the army you played with is eliminated from all further matches regardless of opponent.

If possible a player must try not to use the same army twice against the same player.

You can only play up to 3 matches against another participant until you have played all opponents, at which time you may play another 3 matches, until all you armies or opponents are eliminated.

Don't slow down the conquest.

I will create another topic for game results please don’t post here until after the conquest is over.

I deleted default armies :( if there are some players intrested in this ill reinstall :)

I've attached a zip with all 9 armies in.

Extract to Dark Omen\GameData\2parm

Great Idea, please count me in.

Thnx

:) 

Sorry guys but this new version of FO just simply will not work on my system. I get session dropped upon starting every game I play.

Don't worry Chris.

In case its FO problem, I will reupload it Tuesday.

Dunno maybe that isnt the problem, however we must try this option.

Darkmancer and me couldnt solve our problem... since it wouldnt be fair if we dont attack each other during Conquestday, I created a fast rule to not freeze the event.

No Battle Rule (only for connection problems): Defender always win, however both lose the gold that Attacker declares. The Region isnt conquered unless the Defender has run out of gold (cannot afford Army).

*Lordbraprus has replaced Olly, using Orcs faction.

Lordbraprus had a very bad battle vs me (watch video). Complaining about the Map design and other stuff like Regiments pathfinding, he didnt want to continue playing but anyway he had only 5k left and would have lost...



WINNER: Jeronimo

nice solution but great shame u cant connect to each other, even using old style IP address (external Router IP) or using Hamachi or even just hosting and hopefully auto detecting each other.

I received many complains about UD. I myself also found them powerful.

I will have to rework FO, or simply dont allow 9k battles (doing Conquest of 3-5-7 only).
9k with Undead is overwhelming. I'll post my videos so you can observe the "massacres".

<----- Victim

Problem is with the mummies i think. The only way to win with them is back charge which is sometimes impossible. Nerfing mummies or giving them higher price would be solution. They should be beatable in front charge too ...
