Individual player League

Let me know, I want to play!

please contact me

It would definitely peak my interest if an individual players league would return.

The 1v1 map is okay... but it is ofc very small, it would maybe work for a limited number of players? So if we get maybe 20 players interest could work well for that. If we want to do a larger one than a larger map would work better perhaps.

The problem IMO with the 1v1 map is games could be over in 5 days or 30. We would want to ensure games end at a certain reliable point IMO.

Everyone gets matched up against a random competitor on the Channel map. Everyone play a total of 7 rounds and whoever each round against their opponent gets 1 point. Whoever has the most points out of everyone else wins the tournament. If there is a tie, then there can be a tie breaker match

However, you in my mind highlighted the issue of the 1v1 map. If 20 players sign up, to determine the best of those 20 you need to do 19 matches. Is this feasible? Not at all.

While sure it does sort out the 'better' and 'worse' players to a degree, that map is not a good example of late game strategy in CoW. Furthermore, in 7 rounds, if your the 8th best player really, but lose the other 7, you will come last or down the bottom.

I really believe a larger map, possible at 2x speed, maybe not, but room for players to expand a little to get a stronger economy so that we can all use our late game strategies, as in my mind, that is what determines the better player, not how they manage a few units at the start of the game, not the first 1-5 troop builds they make, but the 1-50 troop builds they make, how one builds a stack, moves and uses it, manages their economy, reacts to the enemies unit builds.

These are some of the things that make a player good, not just how they manage a small piece of land, economy and army.

Im interested

Level 35-40 sure.However, you in my mind highlighted the issue of the 1v1 map. If 20 players sign up, to determine the best of those 20 you need to do 19 matches. Is this feasible? Not at all.

I'm interested provided it's a skills based, no gold tournament.

Sounds fun

so? no league?

No players Liga

no alliance liga

no nada, pending massive downgrades to CoN0.5

So far we have 10 interested people. That does not seem like a sufficient number to me.

without Xarus no league...

Xarus version 1.5 needed...

If y'all doing this lemme know when it starts ect.

I can get several people to play in this I'm sure.

I'm interested and I am sure I can get some from my alliance that would be interested in joining as well. When is this starting ? If there is a date

I still want to play, lets organice this!!

The issue with this is the same as always. I see many people that wish to bring their friends along. The idea of a individual player tournament is to play alone against everyone, not to make secret deals to win. So the idea is sunk before it starts.

Without a map suitable for one on one play, organizing a skills based tournament for single players is not practical.

Another option is to create a dedicated map which is less realistic as it would take time and require funding.

Map creation or revival of the Mediterranean map is beyond players reach.

Bytro needs to step up to keep the event alive. Mediterranean option and small teams 2 vs 2 is practical and would keep this interesting event alive. The Teams League is on hold indefinitely and now The Players League too. This is sad.
