Khans Extravaganza I - January 22

ok i guess thats it 6 teams, will do brackets now

[Riddaren]

Great initiative. Would really like to see more tournaments!

---

- No shields forces melee players to wear the heaviest of armour to take minumim damage from arrows.
- No horse killing forces everyone to use an arabian horse. But most of all this rule will make the tournament battles very unnatural compared to regular crpg battles, where you more than often try to kill the horse first.
- No jumping makes sense simpy because of the "no horse killing" rule. But besides that I don't see any need of this rule. It only makes the battles less natural.

In real battles HA's tries to kill enemy cavalry while melee cavalry tries to stay away from them. HA's will (should) rape melee cavalry in this tournament
My suggestion for future tournaments is to split up melee cavalry and horse archers into seperate tournaments and then remove all of the above rules.

As for the "no fighting on foot" rule I understand it is to make it more even between melee players and horse archers when dismounted. but this rule can be removed as well if HA's and melee cavalry fight in seperate tournaments.

ok we will see after tourney

brackets up, looks how it looks, with 8 teams would be better but oh well ;p

oh and if any of the participants dont know the password pm me

The horse killing malus, although good on paper, doesn't seem very natural. It could lead to combats looking weird / being blockfests because nobody wants to hurt the enemy's horse. More often than not we kill the horse in battle because it's a way of circumventing a block, or because the effect is similar to killing (when you are very far from the action for example)


If the current rules don't work well, I propose :

1° Fight on horses with the same rules except you get no penalty for only killing the horse and a rider kill gets you 3 points.
2° If one team isn't all dead (some riders were dehorsed without dying), a melee fight happens with all the alive players. In that phase, a kill is only worth 1 point.

[Dezilagel]

Well yeah, I proposed something similar on page 2.

Yours is easier to follow though, and would probably yield the same result^^

Really fun, great lancing and horsemanship from the teams, cool map and well organized event, really enjoyed it and hope we can do it again soon.

Thanks for all the patriots who showed up to support our beloved country, without all of you we could of never done it.

Good job BADPLAYER for ping crutching, and Huey for outlancing people with 200 ping.

and now guys choose Arena for next Khans Extravaganza ;]

[TomMyyY]

Congratulations USA, and thanks Chagan/GK for organising this thing. Really cool map as well and hopefully we can have more events here in the future.

[Riddaren]

Thanks for the tournament all.

Would be great if the map was smaller though (mainly to improve FPS for some players).
What about splitting the map up and make a seperate map for each arena type?
