    Why is there two different tournaments for 4p 2021? And should I join both?

      Is starting position completely random? I got 4th spot in 3 out of my 4 games and the other one 3rd. Would be good if it would be possible to make that more fair and distribute evenly across players.

        Wondering same thing, looks like season 2 is random grouping. I thought it would be seeded from season 1 results?

          Hardco resigned after I declared war on him, and should be banned or disqualified from competition.

          I need to spend more time in my life and this tournament will be suspended. so sorry.

            LaoHuang I am sorry to hear that. I hope you are doing fine and that you get things sorted out. Good luck!

              Lothar Resigning is part of the game though, and should be included into your decision making when declaring war. Prevents military advantage from consistently trumping superior economy, and this mechanic rewards the more balanced player 🙂

                Lothar although if this is against the rules of this tournament, thats another thing. i did not see resigning as not allowed written on the rules of the tournament page though

                  Lothar This is a good thing. If I was a 3rd player in that game, I would be upset if Hardco did not resign.
                  If you are super weak and the game just becomes who can feed themself most from you, you should resign. (I am of course talking about games where you are going to be last). Not resigning is a bad thing. Thats why you should play accordingly and that often means timeing the war so they cant resign in age 4. Maybe you cant, but then you take your 7p and move on.

                    On a very general level, I disagree that the game mechanic should reward the more balanced playing strategies as if they were superior to other approaches. If I have for some reason failed to get culture early on and plan on a big war and then somebody resigns, it is kinda rude. The point of the game is not to have the best economy, the point is to end up with more culture than others. If, in the meantime, someone gets run over, it is often poor judgment in keeping up with military. So overall, a better mechanic in war resolution when somebody resigns mid-war would be great. 7 seems quite low instead of say 40-50.

                      Eepogi obv not saying that you should get 40-50. Just in comparison with the potential result of WoC
