Field of Glory II: Ancients - “Mithridatic Wars” Tournament
Field of Glory II: Ancients - “Mithridatic Wars” Tournament
We are pleased to announce another Field of Glory 2 public tournament. This will be played using the normal Field of Glory 2 Multiplayer system and our automated tournament system.
Anyone who has Field of Glory II can enter. You do not need to own any DLCs to enter.
To enter, go to the tournament page here:
The general tournament rules can be found here:
The first round will commence on Thursday 26th May 2022 at 10.00 am GMT. No further entries can be accepted after the tournament has begun.
Specific tournament rules:
This tournament will involve five rounds. Each round will last 14 days. The battles will be Medium-sized custom battles:
1) Kappadokia 100 BC: Pontic 110-85 BC vs Kappadokian 260 BC-17 AD. Open Battle. Mediterranean Hilly.
2) Pontus 89 BC: Pontic 110-85 BC vs Bithynian 297-74 BC. Open Battle. Mediterranean Agricultural.
3) Greece 85 BC: Pontic 110-85 BC vs Roman 105-25 BC. Open Battle. Mediterranean Agricultural.
4) Armenia 69 BC: Armenian (Tigranes) 83-69 BC with Pontic 84-47 BC allies vs Roman 105-25 BC. Open Battle. Mediterranean Hilly.
5) Pontus 67 BC: Pontic 84-47 BC vs Roman 105-25 BC. Open Battle. Mediterranean Agricultural.
Games are paired, so each matchup will be played both ways. Each player will be able to choose his forces using the normal force selection system. In each round, all players will be playing on the same randomly generated map for both games.
First round pairings will be selected randomly, subsequent rounds using the Swiss Chess system. Nobody will play the same opponent in more than one round.
The scoring system is as follows:
• If a game runs to the turn limit, each side scores points equal to the enemy % routed at the turn limit. If the game times out, adjustments may be made, depending on how far the game has progressed and who took longer over their turns – see below.
• If one army breaks, the victorious player scores 60 points plus the difference between the enemy % routed and his own % routed. The loser scores points equal to the winner's % routed.
Examples:
1) If Ben defeats Tamas's army, and has inflicted 45% routed on Tamas, and Tamas has inflicted 15% on Ben, Ben will score 60 + (45 – 15) = 90, Tamas will score 15.
2) However, if Ben defeated Tamas’s army by inflicting 62% routed on Tamas, and Tamas had inflicted 56% routed on Ben, Ben would get 60 + (62 – 56) = 66 points, and Tamas would get 56.
3) If the game is unfinished (or it reached the turn limit) with Ben inflicting 20% routed on Tamas, and Tamas inflicting 10% routed on Ben, Ben would score 20, and Tamas would score 10. (Provided that between them they have played at least 24 turns in all – see below).
Note that this system rewards aggressive play over desultory skirmishing. If you rout an enemy unit then hide for the rest of the game, both players will get extremely low scores - lower than if they played hard and lost.
Byes:
If an odd number of players sign up for the tournament, one player will get a bye in each round. In the first round this is random. In subsequent rounds it will be the player with the lowest score. The score for a BYE is 75 points for each game.
Round times and timing out:
Each round will last 14 days.
[Edited:]
Any battles that are not completed by the end of the round will be timed out. The player who has had the game in his “My Turns” box the longest overall will be the one who is deemed to be timed out. This will not normally incur any penalties, unless insufficient turns have been played: If the timed-out player has played less than 18 turns, his score will be reduced proportionately, and his opponent will be granted (100 - the timed out player's adjusted score) if this value exceeds his current score. (This means he will get the full BYE score unless the timed out player's adjusted score is more than 25).
If the timed-out player has played less than 6 turns, he will not be included in the draw for the next round. This is to prevent someone else’s enjoyment being spoiled by being drawn against someone who has apparently dropped out of the tournament.

Re: Field of Glory II: Ancients - “Mithridatic Wars” Tournament
Yes, that's what I meant. The email notification for new turns is excellent. It would be great if we could get something like that for new tournaments/events.rbodleyscott wrote: ↑Fri May 27, 2022 8:03 amYou mean to tell you when they will happen?

Thank you for passing along the suggestion!
Re: Field of Glory II: Ancients - “Mithridatic Wars” Tournament
Really annoyed that I did not get a set of messages about turns waiting from my Oppo I should have just logged on and checked anyway in the morning, but just checked tonight and two turns and no e-mails. Just a warning to folks as with this being a timed tourney... Bloody annoying...
Yet as I was doing the turn I saw another pop in and I did get a message tonight!! You can not rely on the e-mail messages!

I find with Gmail that sometimes things that usually go to my Inbox are instead routed to Spam folder. I had the same, "how is it my turn when I didn't get an email?" experience, but when I looked in Spam, lo and behold there it was.Holien wrote: ↑Sat May 28, 2022 8:12 pm Really annoyed that I did not get a set of messages about turns waiting from my Oppo I should have just logged on and checked anyway in the morning, but just checked tonight and two turns and no e-mails.

In any case, this first round was a wild one. In both games, the Kappa Doki Doki Run Away Club had to be driven to the 60% level. It wasn't pretty, but it was highly entertaining, and that's what I play for.
Re: Field of Glory II: Ancients - “Mithridatic Wars” Tournament
Hi, I've had a problem. While I was playing my turn, my PC freeze (maybe due to heat) and I've been forced to turn it off, wait some minutes, restart it and replay the turn (to be honest, with an outcome the has been even worst then the previous one). Am i risking to be banned for this? Is there anything I can do in order to avoid a possible ban? I'm even willing to surrender and concede the victory to my opponent if this is necessary to avoid a possible ban. I am a very fair person and I would never replay a turn in order to get a different outcome.

I think it is sufficient that you have posted this issue. If you are contacted by the PBEM team, then you can point them at this post.MrCrow wrote: ↑Tue Jun 28, 2022 4:41 pm Hi, I've had a problem.

Re: Field of Glory II: Ancients - “Mithridatic Wars” Tournament
I think my game for round 4 against FireknightBarcelona has been scored incorrectly.
He was leading 55-46 on T15, the game was timed out.
So his score is 15/18 * 55 = 45.8 which has been recorded as 46 - correct.
I think I should get 75 but instead was awarded 54. Don't know where 54 comes from...

You don't get the full BYE score if it is fairly close to the 18 turns.tyronec wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 10:50 am I think my game for round 4 against FireknightBarcelona has been scored incorrectly.

I cannot quote the full formula as I do not have the code base.

Re: Field of Glory II: Ancients - “Mithridatic Wars” Tournament
OK, maybe review the rules because there is no mention of a reduction there for the non timed out player.
'If the timed-out player has played less than 18 turns, his score will be reduced proportionately, and his opponent will be granted the BYE score if it exceeds his current score.'

Re: Field of Glory II: Ancients - “Mithridatic Wars” Tournament
It turns out that the timed-out player's adjusted score is adjusted by the the ratio of the number of turns played / 18 as you deduced.
The non-timed-out player's score, however, is upgraded to (100 - the timed out player's adjusted score), if this is higher than his actual score.
So the non-timed out player will always score at least 75 points, unless the timed-out player's adjusted score is more than 25.
I have adjusted the tournament rules for the next tournaments accordingly.
