Ok, classic map, but I strongly suggest escalating and unlimited fortifications to all stages... or we can be waiting that loooooong game, as happened to one Xigames final.
I'm gonna post the provisional teams now... though Pedro, I think if we're looking for 96 players it'd be better to faciltate people changing their countries. That said I think, when the opportunity is there you should play for your home country (Generally country of birth, possibly where you grew up).
Doing updated team list now...
If you're stuck for a team try pm some of the players on the thread. Remember to list your country if you wanna sign up. When the totol of 96 players is filled, unfinished teams may be merged.
Still looking for some premium member(s) to volunteer to host any games for non premium teams
What we have so far-
Completed teams:
1. (Players): Pedronicus, Silus, SWAY75.
(Country): England (Team Name): England 1
Hey queeee, can you double check w/ the current site? I updated it yesterday w/ my team... though, I'll try and work on it later this evening when i get home from work/school....
1st game : Classic map, Flat Rate, Unlimited fortifications
2nd game : Classic map, Escalating, 1 fortification
3rd game : Classic map, Escalating, Unlimited fortifications
Second round games to be: Classic Map, Flat Rate, Unlimited Fortifications
Quarter final games to be: Classic Map, Escalating, 1 Fortification
Semi finals to be: Classic Map, Flat Rate, Unlimited Fortifications
Third place play off game & WORLD CUP FINAL to be: Classic Map, Flate rate, 1 Fortification.
Rationale Group stages need to go quickly... but all three games can be played at once, so once we get the first one hosted it should be ok, as the latter two will be faster.
By the time we reach the semis, fast games aren't as important, so I think flat rate works ok. As for why flat rate, that's just my personal preference, either way we're gonna have 3 of one type and 4 of the other, I'd just prefer more flat rate.
Second round maty be take a bit long, but 4 escalating games in a row might be a bit much.[/b]

Qeee - i just emailed MrT with my original games. But i dont mind your changes...
we'll go with youre amended games.
I suggested that games start at exactly the same time as the world cup games themselves - playing all three group games at the same time means that if you are in the group stages - you can see what sort of win you need to achieve to progress out of the group.
