DEFCON Tournament underway
The reports are in the tournament-forum and I assume they might be released later on.
In anyway, I have to say, even though I had my worst game ever in terms of score (first in many months I ended up in last place), it was more fun and exiting then usual due to the shifting game-play and dynamic usage of alliances. When your having fun even though your loosing, then it's a fun session.

I'll happily repost my account of round 1 game 3 here if I get the ok, don't want to say something I shouldn't. Otherwise, I'll post it on the 29th if people still want to see it
And yes, poor Zarkow. In that third screenshot, you can see my subs moving towards him (North America) from the south. The resulting slaughter sealed him securely in last place. I'd feel bad if this wasn't war

"Unlimited" is the max possible.
Would it be possible to set specs higher than 10 for the final match? it looks like it'll be held after the release date of the game, and I imagine there will be lots of paying customers who will want to see it.

Some people talk because they have something to say. Others talk because they have to say something.
Thanks. ˇxyzyxx wrote:"Unlimited" is the max possible.
Exactly what I was thinking about. I don't think that it would be hard to set up the game with the tournament rules, only making the spectator slots more numerous.xyzyxx wrote:Would it be possible to set specs higher than 10 for the final match? it looks like it'll be held after the release date of the game, and I imagine there will be lots of paying customers who will want to see it.
Problem is that it would put alot of strain on the server, especially if people started to try and join partway through the match. It could cause alot of lag. (Infact, whether or not the spectator limit is risen, I would suggest that just before the game commences a password is put on the server to prevent people from joining to spectate partway through).
i demand a video of a tournament game.
now.
There is a video of Martin's posted on google video. Search 'defcon' and its on the second or third page.
[Edit: It is a terrible resoultion, but here is the link: http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?doc ... 5&q=defcon
It also appears to be only the bottom quarter or so of the screen as all the text is cut off.]
Also, is there any word on how we will be able to sign up and how the tournaments will be organised when the game is out? Presuming that IV are going to organise some. Maybe even a date for the first if we are lucky .
[Further Edit: What about team tournaments, where defecting is impossible and you and a friend battle versus other teams for world domination? Or maybe you r teamate is randomly selected? There are a lot of cool possibilities. It would be quite cool to know just how far IV are going to go with regard to tournament organising ]
