Tournament: Stone Age

[da1n]

Well, I got this idea awhile ago when Moose's TAO Classic was the big rage, and people were complaining about the ambusher, the 1 scout rule, Moose, and anything else worth complaining about. Short and sweet, the idea is a tourny without any focus-breakers. Of course the meaning of 'focus-breaking' is based on interpretation, but I consider it to include any mobile unit that can penetrate through a wall to damage other units. That said, legal formations could include (no drops of course):

1 Cleric
3 Knights
1 Assassin
1 Enchantress
1 Lightning Ward
1 Barrier Ward
1 Stone Golem
1 Mud Golem (Kind of controversial, it would be basic attack only, meaning that a mudquake would result in being disqualified)
1 Frost Golem
1 Dragon Tyrant
Edit: no furgon

The tourny would be on a basic bracket, with single-elimination. I don't have the power to dish out reward units, but people like tournies for the fun competition right? :rolleyes: :cool: So what do you all think?

[emerald slasher]

itd be sweet...but the furgy would be the champion unit

[lostandconfused]

I like it, though I do love my scouts. :(

[emerald slasher]

srry for another post but what about the wisp? or the beast rider

[ent__89]

I like it, sounds like loads of fun...... :D

Since both could pierce a wall and break the focus of units behind, those two wouldnt be allowed. Besides, I don't know if people had tamed the beast back then. :cool:

Yes it would be on rev, but whether it happens or not will depend on the responses to this thread. So far it's looking good though. :cool:

EDIT: Plus, with all the tournies going on now, I'd probably wait until a dry spell to start this up.

[Blexican]

I love it! no los! Im definatley in.

[Moose]

Well if ur going to make another attempt of something similar to my tourny, at least call it "The Moose TAO Classic Mock 2" :P

Although the only relation is that your tourny's lack of appeal spawned my idea :p :cool:

[Warcow]

This is actually a nifty idea, another cool one would be bring it back to the true old school days, before the first new gold unit was released. Which means a gold had one extra scout, a frost and a mud without the mudquake.

[MANSLAUGHTER1]

I like the idea but I think there should be either one scout or no scout.

Scouts are included as focus-breakers my friend :cool:

[Wayfaerer]

Sounds good :cool:

[sub the hendrix]

I'm totally in. I love chances to learn completelly different tactics. If it where me, I would have included the beastie, but I completely understand why it won't be allowed.

Great idea, Mtach Strike is in.

[FryLock]

no scouts and no mudquakes means the field is likely to get very shrubby very quickly. turtles will of course be the norm...it sounds like an interesting idea, but I can imagine that games would drag on and on, hacking through bushes and whatnot.

[Hatchet Warrior]

I'd join this tourny :cool:

[DARKSMILE]

I am in. This sounds like fun.

[meat.eater]

Strong idea. But fry brings up a good point. I think Id play.

As far as muds go, without without scouts, if u thought it was important enough to move to break a focus, it would be suicide for mr. mud. Basically it would be the one of the worst units. Focus breakers go together, not alone. Keep it. People who use it will lose. :p

[wolf rayne {D}]

sounds really cool.

[Bottle]

I can see at least 80% of matches taking about 2 hours to complete, and a further 10% ending in a draw merely out of exasperation.

Attacking is almost impossible. It's a bad idea.

Well since everyone seems to like it, I can start it up after the grey tourny. Though I'll probably make the furgon illegal so players don't faint from exhaustion. :cool:

[Liquid Swordsman]

Fantastic :cool2:
