Yeah a master of alternative is a diffo been thinking about it for a while though personally i think thats not a great list of alternative maps as king of towers is more like a blood and a poor mans king of flags. I was thinking dodge, lustful as its became more popular with the leagues and something random like pyramid destruction. I would say ttf but some people are really bad at ttf and they would struggle to complete some levels making the tourney last forever. TTF could probably do with its own tourney done along the lines of what we done before with 4 signs ups in each game with the top 2 qualifying to next round in each game. It worked great before
king of towers is basically a blood map. Shouldn't even be in the alternative ladder and I don't think it should be included in a Masters of alternative tourney.
King of towers is an excellent map but as said here it is not truly an Alternative map.
Could it not be done similar to Master of Bloods with a selection of alternating tiebreaker maps?
If not I think the best 3 selections are:
Dodgeball
Art of War
World Risk
kot is too, the thing is............. I don't know if it is more of a blood or not dave, see the thing is, general idea of a blood is start with basic unit(s) and you get kills which in turn give you upgrades and better units , then when you have strong enough units, you can kill the enemy tower. Most of the time a hero/middle power up is there, in kot, you start with all techs, max units = unlimited, there is no mid power up, it's a very diff map, I wouldn't say count it out because let's face it..
I don't think the majority of people have even see the map let alone classed it as a blood or alternative map.
Dosen't world risk take a long time anyway? dno, i only played it once!
P.S. this tourny needs to happen!! there is quite a bit of hype for it, whether it's next or not!
You make a very valid point. There are more maps on blood ladder that compare more favorably to KoT than any of the other Alternative maps. KoT would be fine to include I just don't view it as an alternative map personally.
I don't know what version of World risk is the =V= versions but there are different versions with different wonder totals. Could also predetermine the 2 spots chosen and restrict certain continents from usage.
If it was a tournament designed just for my enjoyment I would want Europe/TTF/Dodgeball
haha, ttf sounds cool, love the map but it would take soo long, that is better in a league or something rather then a tourny i guess, euro same, can take soooo long, dodgeball is just fantastic because it's impossible to take a long period of time/game, the only issue i see arising is lagg concerns...
u know, it's a hard choice as we were discussing earlier taff.
for me, imo, alternative gonna be hardest one for masters, in terms of what maps to pick.. there are few, ppl might not sign up and or maps may be too long.
imo, we should just do a bo3 dodge tourny, it's simple, easy to host, everybody knows it, good turn out etc...
if not, use dodge, king of flags which is better then kot and quicker map and something like pyramid destruction
dodgeball
king of towers
art of war
What do you guys think? and how would we set it up.
Thoughts ladies?
Let the masses decide and then we can decide how it's run etc

I would rather play ttf before pyramid, and for ttf I stick 100 pins in my head to stay awake
The original ttd would be cool too (don't confuse it with TTD II, the original is a lot faster)

Best 3 alternatives. We should go ahead. I support Charlie in this
