Jules Verne was a French Breton author who, pioneered the science-fiction genre. He is best known for novels such as Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870), A Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873). Verne wrote about space, air, and underwater travel before air travel and practical, submarines were invented, and before practical means of space travel had been devised. He is the third most translated individual author in the world, according to Index Translationum. Verne, along with Hugo Gernsback and H. G. Wells, is often referred to as the "Father of Science Fiction". (Source : wikipedia)

I'm trying to found another one year premium for any team who can reach all the 31 objectives of the tourney. DONE!!!
NEW!!! One year premium will be split in 3 month premium for each player composing the winner team.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=BONUSES]Like in the original RISK version, this tourney has been set with new objectives to give a new look on CC maps.
Those objectives, different on each map, must be hold for one, two or three rounds in a row. Remember it's entire round so every player must play his round before gaining any bonus. Also remember that bonuses are reachable only with a minimum number of player still playing the game (not eliminated). It's too easy to reach some of the objectives just before killing the last opponent.
HOW TO CLAIM A BONUS?
As CC isn't set for my special objectives, once you are sure u gained a bonus and hold it long enough to gain +10 pts, let a message into game chat informing your opponents that you reach the objectif and telling them wich rounds. If every player agree, you gain the bonus.
Also leave a reply in the tournament forum with :
- Game number
Map and objectif reach
Number of players left in game
Do they agreed your bonus? Y / N
