---- Welcome to: Lord of the Rings Brought to you by Lx
HighlanderAttack was nice enough to offer 6 months Premium for the winner. I will do the same, so it's one year Premium for the winner!
We will be loosely following the story of the Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien. Games based on certain events in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
Main Map: Midgard (formerly Middle Earth) Bonus Maps: Halloween Hollows, Draknor, Castle Lands and Siege! Game Types: All game types will be played, amount of players vary. Teams decided randomly. Settings: Auto-Deploy, Sequential, Chained and Casual. Other settings vary. Signing up:
We play 12 rounds with 20 games in total. You may play up to 6 games at the same time. You get 1 point for every opponent beaten, bonus maps are double points. The player with the most points at the end wins. There is a 30 round cap on every game (*see note), no points will be awarded after round 30, except for the points you already earned in terminator games [edit] and games finished by the round limit feature. If you win a Terminator game because of the Round Limit Feature, you get the 5 points for the win, but not the points for the kills, unless you killed somebody before the round limit. [/edit]
*Note: Changed back from 50 to 30 because of the upgrade of the new round cap feature, which now has a choice of 20, 30, 50 or 100 rounds.

The data for ALL of my tournaments has potentially been lost. I am working to recover it but as I am away on business all of this week, there will be some delay. Sincere apologies.

I will also offer the winner six months premium (complements of Lindax)
Total game count of 20 is correct.
You're a few points shy of 2000 (although, when you take your turns you take plenty points off me), but how can I refuse you when you offer 6 months Premium!
Actually, I'll match that, so it'll be one year Premium for the winner!
My scores are usually gyrating around 1700, but who knows? Maybe I'll get a lucky streak by the time I'm needed and be above 2000 at just the right time.
