Empires Summer Scrim League Game 7 - 15th August 21:00 BST/ 16:00 EDT/ 13:00 PDT

Server is yet to be determined.

Map will be Insurrection, but this is entirely dependent on me speaking to both Cyberkiller and Vicki to make sure the map still works fine so we don't have a repeat of what happened on Forest & King.

Those who have not participated in the league before and are looking at this thread on game night, this is the thread relevant to you:

thank you for hosting it again

 

Insurrection is a great map that is rarely played because of how many people it takes to play.

Really looking forward to this. If what you said three weeks ago was right, this is probably the last game. Thanks for the work you put into the league, it's been a great time in spite of the bullshit and drama.

 

I hope you have a spare this time around.

 

I was due to go back to work after this week but its been put off again, so I might be able to host a couple more games, we'll see how this weekend goes.

 

Dat cheap oil nobody wants.

 

It's not actually anything to do with that, which is a problem because it means that's an issue that still might potentially come up. It annoys me more because it's bullshit anyway, the oil price is entirely irrelevant, but they use it as an excuse for delaying contracts.

 

Pardon the image sizes.

ROUND 1:


ROUND 2:

 

You guys used quite a few tickets.

Speaking of polaks, we still got z00m.

 

The map had so many tickets and resources, there wasn't really a need to conserve either. Hence wacky tactics without regard for losses or holding refs.

 

good job xray. a guy had no clue what the password was and couldnt play because of that. maybe you should tell people the password in your group and you might be able to work better as a team

 

we actually did, and it also made trickster mad a little

Unless "that guy" was offline on steam....and teamspeak

I asked for the password in TS3 because who reads steam group anyway.

 

Well we still had randoms joining who weren't assigned to either team so they're getting the password somehow. I have no problem with randoms getting involved but if they're just joining and not actually assigned to a team, not in the teamspeak, etc then it causes a lot of problems.

Uploading the games anyway. First rounds was pretty good and I'm kind of sad Xray let it go. I totally missed what happened so I guess I can only see from the minimap. Second game was a lot more textbook, but pretty great either way, a good bit of territory change throughout the game.

Fairly sure that it's time to call the league a day now. Interest seems to have died off and to be honest it lasted longer than I expected regardless. I hope everyone had fun at some point during the games and I'd like to think that people improved their play through competing. Thanks for playing.
