planned: avatar of tournament winner; custom modes

the final match is currently announced for the next saturday (22th) 6 pm gmt+0.

the finalists are:
Mini-Me; Northwind-Hero; KingAbbott; Ragnaok

so far those 4 seem to agree with the match to be held at weekend but not all confirmed sa 6pm yet.
in case theres no way it'll work out for you at that time: contact me ASAP or post here!

observers wont be allowed this time. gl hf!

kingabbott might be unable to play at saturday. plz post if ur able to play at friday the 28th (sometime at evening).

Hey laosh if king cant play im happy to step in and take his place

*sigh* ragnaok cant play at the 28th. to make things worse ill be gone for a whole week starting at saturday. ill take care of things as soon as im back. if u guys cant wait anymore play the match without me but be SURE to save the replay. then ill accept the result as long none of u has valid reason to complain. furthermore ill try to find a reliable judge although the previous rounds were played without any critical incidents.

gd luck, have fun and may the best of u win.

the tournament is finally over. although the final match ended in a draw we have a winner since eternal-pain was no finalist: he has been granted the status of a finalist instead (+1sp). the official winner is Ragnaok. due to the fact that he played and won with goblin swarm, his choice was to accept the title "God Of Goblins" for his avatar. as promised he gained +3sp per game starting with 1.14.
as for this version, i wont promise anything but it should be done in 1-14 days. updated changelog available at the first page of this topic.

1.14 will include different modes (credit to dota for the idea).
atm the following modes are already done:
-ar (-allrandom: ALL players pick a random race)
-ss (-soulstorm: doubles Soulpointincome from Soulfields)

ofc more are planned. e.g. a mode to enable random eventy every once in a while. feel free to post any suggestions.

Uhm what about a mode where random neutral enemies spawn every xx amount of turn? that would be fun mode!

-re [Random Enemies]

Or maybe just create a main menu in which you set up all game preferences, for example turn time limit, soulpoint income, etc.

i like the idea with the neutral creeps, guess ill do that in some way.
as for menu id like the modeselection to be done before the tutorial starts/skips which happens after 18 seconds - as there are going to be many modes a menu would take much time for choosing gamemodes because you have to activate/not activate each single mod. plus some modes will also need certain parameters (e.g. "cursed board": hploss per turn = x%) however i like the idea of a gui menu, maybe ill create one for the most important choices.

edit: your models pwnz! since u used the original hellsing pentagram (as requested) it suits perfectly for alucard. being large scaled it looks even better than the aura version (imo)

Thanks

Hmm what about also a "Random Death" mode where xx amount of turns the grim reaper (death) comes riding in on a zombie horse and chops off the head of a random unit, killing it?

gonna add that too (although i wouldnt play it myself quite often - since its optional nobody can complain about it. the more modes the better!)

Ok, well here's another one then

"Big Feet" - All Units walking lenght stuff becomes doubled(or enlarged by 1 if thats better)!
