Yeah, Franks and Teutons tend to be slower due to slower Paladin for Teutons and stronger Paladin for Franks making blocking easier with fortified wall and heavy Scorpions.
Huns and Persians tend to be faster due to normal walls, and Huns can't upgrade Scorpions (Persians can and Elephants block really well).
I'd suggest streaming games now to build interest, it isn't exactly a map you learn and excel in within a week.
I hate to suggest this a couple days before the tournament but it is MOTHERS DAY on sunday, many of the top players will not be able to make it. I won't be able to make it either.
OK I need some ideas on how to handle this. Civs/colours.
Teutons *Bloodlines* or Franks *No Bloodlines*. Id stay w/ Teutons.
Huns and Persians tend to be faster due to normal walls, and Huns can't upgrade Scorpions (Persians can and Elephants block really well).

Pers/Huns
the best combos
always side vs side
Any civ is fine really.
Huns, Franks, Teutons.
Huns probably the best for faster games.
