Round 8 Details

This is an ALL VICTORY Round!!!

This Round will take place on a SMALL map with FIVE Opponents.





Since this is an ALL VICTORIES Round its setup is different than previous rounds. A Team is required to get a Victory of Each Type (Conquest, Alliance, Technological, and Influence) to receive the Base 8 points. Also, unlike 'normal' rounds, All Victory Rounds only allow for a Bonus Point for fastest game and highest scoring game in each category (so still only 8 individual bonus points available). 

At the end of this round, which will end at 11:59:59pm FORUM TIME ON WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30TH, 2008 we plan on holding a Draft. Setup for the Draft will be the same as before. More details will be given once Round 8 is over.


Good Luck Everyone!

Commissioner Silverbeacher

I extremly apologize(Drinking beautiful Beer) if this offends anyone

well i spose the Rulebook thread would be the most likely candidate since in a way we are proposing "rule" changes in a way.

Reply #78 Top
Wouldn't that require an even number of teams?


You are correct. A sixth team would need to be created. I just think it would be fun if teams had a chance to go head to head.
Reply #79 Top
Well head to head was part of my original proposal for how the league could work. I envisioned 12 teams but 6 would work just as well.

I'm for it, but changes would be needed. We would need to assign points to a round win, like your favorite football league might be structured. The 12, 13 or 14 points your team might garner for the round would be used to break ties. If your team was victorious over your opponent (outscored them 14pts -11pts for example) thne your team would be awarded say, 5 points. These points decide where on the league ladder your team sits, with any ties broke with the round points.

Obviously with 6 teams so we need 3 months for every team to play each team once each, so perhaps the season could go 6 months, you play each team twice.

Drawbacks...We would not be able to add new teams in that time. Should the league garner enough players in that time to warrant a team G we would not be able to implement that team till either the 3 month mark or the 6 month mark. At 3 months we would have to start a new season.

Other than that, which is not high in likely hood to happen i think we could make it work.

My submission:
14,935 points 1 year tech victory on JustinSane5 as the evil Yor, submitted 12:15 4/3. DA v1.8g.

Now I just have to plead with Wyndstar to go for a conquest victory this round. :)

dang internets, just got myself back to the forum. Sorry to KP for not getting on here sooner.

Will set up my game for this round and leave it until I can get information about which victory type I am to achieve. Messaging KP about that currently, as I do not have an account at The Core at the moment, still needs Admin approval under name Galen to get access.

Ah, but I DID forget to submit it. Thanks for the reminder:



Meh. I'm pretty sure I could do better, but I'm not going to try this one 20 times to see my best. I only had a single +300% tile the whole game...

Still, its one win down for my team.

and still a good game at that; it being a 1yr victory no less.
Reply #85 Top
Whew! Not a tech victory. :)
That's a great game considering you only had one decent bonus tile. Nicely done.
Reply #86 Top
And you wonder why you might be the first draft pick Wyndstar??? Sheez!!! ;p

Great game mate!

I haven't heard anything from Sunburn4. He hasn't responded to the PM I sent him on 3/31. I also haven't noticed any response from him in any MVL thread either.
Reply #88 Top
Sunburn4 Pm'd me about joining the league to which i replied. He has yet to open that Pm and that was sent on March 29.

My submission this round. Since i have become rather familiar with the ZYW's i was sure i could get a ZYW conquest with these settings. And...i did!

Score another blow for the Eternal Villainy!!!!

Nice :)

One point I want to reiterate is that there is only one score bonus point and one speed bonus point per victory type this round.

Each team needs to complete at least one of each victory type. However once a team has submitted all four victory types the "extra" games may be of any type. The point I want to make sure everyone is aware of is that any "extra" games definitely count for the average team speed and average team score bonuses as well as potentially compete for individual bonus points.

Also given the above it's most likely that most "extra" games will be military victories since that is both a reasonably fast game (for contribution to team speed bonus potential) and high scoring (for contribution to team score bonus potential). This will probably make the military conquest speed and score individual bonuses more difficult to achieve simply because there will be more of them.

Caveat Emptor.

Good game neilo,

I only tried once, but my hats off to you for doing this. I had problems getting enough population for my troops, even using mass drivers on invasions. With no Super Abilities I lost the ability to use spore ships, and it left me with a breeding problem...

~ Wyndstar

Thanks guys. :D

That was actually my 3rd attempt at getting the ZYW. The other two would have been victories in their own right, but not 0 year. I was determined to get a ZYW.

Yes, with spore it would have been a much quicker win, so hence a higher score. I used two little tricks with my transports that i'm sure are well known to be able to use the least amount of troops as possible. Knowing that pop was gong to be an issue i took pop growth and morale bonuses but my econ suffered.

Needless to say when i won the game i was heavily in debt.

lol. That does come in handy. I always have the game started in the setup screen and then remember I need to grab the settings. Having the other screen allows me to look them up without shutting the game back down :) .

In other news, I am slightly concerned, especially after the events of Round 7, of players finding the MVL to be more of a task and not something fun to enjoy. I really want to make sure that doesn't occur. I'll move this over to the Rulebook thread I think but what about MVP awards and also All-League Awards (though the ALAs would only be given based on participation, sportsmanship, and benefits to the League as a whole).

And what the hell happened with all the taunting (or lack thereof)?

so on that note:

Ride on to Victory
and shout our battle cry
Fight on to eternity
As the Villainy goes marching by

We'll raise a toast to you,
our every favored sons

Fight on to victory
until the Fight is won
