== 2vs2 Team Tournament ==
There will be no extension, round 2 will finish on 31 January 23:59:59 GMT+1. After that time, the ongoing turn must be finished for all players, i.e. the player on slot #4 must be able to play his turn. Then the last player on the turn needs to surrender and take screenshots of the score and send them to the judges. If the scores are judged sufficiently different, then the team with highest combined score wins.
Round 3 will use v1.2 of the balance mod. Please send your class/race now for those who can (Baballas vs Team of Bears).
For Shadow & Flame (WO against Team Mariusz on round 2), the class/race of round 1 counts as the last class/race for round 3 (so cannot be replayed on round 3).
We extend the duration of round 3 and subsequent rounds to 7 weeks to adjust for 4 players game which are longer than duels.

== 2017 Duel Tournament ==
The date of 31 January for the start of the round is probably going to be maintained, to be confirmed soon. I'm also going to generate the roster soon so that people can start sending their class/race.

== Misc ==
I did a new video showing how to clear a Mythical site before turn 20 for those interested (to feed the debate on high-level site balance): https://youtu.be/2gbObEUhY-o<... />Please remember the latest poll: What classes of hero do you generally refuse if they are proposed on turn 1? (because they are the worst heroes to start with)

== 2017 PBEM Duel Tournament ==
The best would be to start the tournament AFTER the devs fix the bug reported by AlX but I am not sure when it will be done... Probably not before 31 January. So not yet sure what to do, I asked the devs, I am waiting for their answer.
If all goes well, start date is 31 January.
If you know players interested in the tournament, please let them say so somewhere: we need a reserve list as it is very likely that at least 4 players won't show up on round 1.

== PBEM 2vs2 Team Tournament ==
Round 2 ends on 31 January.
Round 3 should use v1.2 of the balance mod.

== Balance ==
Changelog of v1.21 has been finalized: https://steamcommunity.com/li... />It should be tested on the beta branch of the mod after 31 January.
After v1.21, I plan to slow down on new change proposals and take time to review existing changes and proposed changes that have not been integrated so far.

== Regarding the ranking ==
Thanks Jean for sharing this idea! On Steam you also discussed a "territory war" with me with a map and players able to attack territories of other players by challenging them, potentially specific rules for territory (e.g. a "plain" means you need to play Humans, etc.). I think that would be fun but needs a big investment to develop.
Regarding the reset of ranking, I'm personally against it. AoW3's PBEM is long term. Both PBEM and live MP require a big investment in time and I think players who spent hours to climb the ranking should not lose it every year (even with a Hall of Fame). Maybe we can tweak the way points are awarded to make it easier to climb, but please note that already: 1/ new players have x2 on their points and cannot lose points until they reach 1000, 2/ players with many games have a lower K-value so win (and lose) less points each time. So it's already not so hard to get to top 8 if you're a top skill player. It's hard to get to top 2 but that's also normal for me. I don't want people to become #2 or #1 too quickly, otherwise I would be playing an iPad or smartphone game; of course that's a matter of opinion. So if more players like your idea, we can have a poll to see what the community thinks.

I want to clarify that, posting my ideas, I have no intention to point at any particular person. When I talk about "grinders" I consider myself to be one of them too. Let me explain:

My winrate atm is 86 % (08.01.2017). I think I'm doing pretty well XD but at the same time, if we only consider the win/loss statistics, there are guys better than me. For example, "ehall20" - 6/0 (100 % winrate) and positioned only 31, not even being on the front page of the rankings. The same goes for Jabst, Ariga and many other players. The only reason they are placed so far is that they haven't grinded rankings points. You just basically have to play more to fight for the top-3 places. These guys are now unactive, I believe, so the rankings system with reset will throw them off. My example concerns only active players. What if a player is active, got 6-0 but he just doesn't have much time to play? What if he can play only 1-2 games per month. It would take him a year to get into top-4.
If we take me, for example, my winrate is one of the best right now. I have been playing since June 2016 and I have to say that I'm one of the most active players of the community right now. I'm playing about 9-10 games at one time, all slots are busy, can we call me a grinder? Yes. Can my winrate bring me on the highest positions? Yes. But even with that I haven't yet reached top-2. And not everyone is so lucky as me to have so much time for AoW. What I mean is that one shouldn't grind in order to fight for the rankings and overpower those who have earned many points for playing a lot.

There are better ways to lower inactive players' positions than full reset. When I was working on a rating system for AoW 2, the idea of players getting some rating points just for playing regularly was statistically proven to improve the rating objectivity. It's basically the equivalent of players losing points for periods on inactivity, but sort of inverted because it was easier to implement this way.

Agree with Jean on most of the keypoints, except that maybe (due to slow game progress) the ranking should be reset every 1/2 year or every year.

And think Hall of Fame does the trick so the legendary players would still be remembered.

Hello, guys.
I think I'm gonna make a very unusual suggestion but for me it makes sense. Some of you might know that I'm very fond of different kind of sport events (especially racket ones) and I used to be a professional sportsman myself. I think that we could change our rankings system here using some experience from sports and so make it more logic and fair.
What I practically want is to see the rankings showing the real level of players at this particular moment. Right now when a new player registeres on bf and starts playing aow (like what happened to me in June) he has to grind and grind points in order to fight for the highest positions in the rankings which, if honestly, for the vast majority of the players here means nothing. I'll show you an example:
A player (let's call it Bob) comes to the battlefield community. He wants to fight for the rankings cause he considers this to be something he can compete in and so get excited. But what he sees there is GabtheGab with 100 % winrate, no losses and many points. Then goes Cbower. Both of them don't really play here any longer. Cbower has left the community and is no longer interested in aow. And I haven't seen Gabriel playing any games at all (for the last 8 months) besides this 2-2 PBEM Tournament which is already a small failure due to the fact that some strong team have decided to stop playing. He doesn't enter any ffa games, 2-2-2-2, 4-4 or smth like that. 
So practically "Bob" has to fight all the serious players right now (as the level of players increases, bugs and cheating options are fixed, and the game becomes more balanced due to the great work of our modmakers and Hiliadan). I call this grinding cause the leaders he has to reach in rankings don't play themselves and so don't run the risk of losing points.

What I suggest:
1. Make a hall of fame. It will show the winners of different tournaments and the players who reached the highest positions of the rankings. Like GabtheGab - the winner of a pbem tournament. Techno - used to be first and then second for a long time. Etc.
2. Make a rankings system which will reset every 3 months (like seasons - winter, spring, summer, autumn)
So we will see who is the best player right now, this month. This will allow some players who don't play much (2 games atm) or players who are not enough experienced to constantly beat all the tough players make a certain effort and fight for the crown. For example, Bob decides to concentrate on aow in Spring and make a very good winstrike, winning 5 games in a row. This is a chance to be the first one and get his fame!

Otherwise I really don't see any options for players who can not afford playing 10 games atm to reach those who got their points and stopped playing.

I'd like to get opinions on that relatively simple change which would bring benefits unrelated to balance. If you think it does not deteriorate balance (or improve it, after all, Frostling was the 2nd least played race and nobody played AD or Theo Frostling in the previous Duel Tournament http://www.the-battlefield.co... please send me a PM or say somewhere that you're for that change:
Fr03
Frostling Apprentices, Shamans and Evangelists are female (were male). They can thus be protected by Frostling Royal Guards.
(it also means they can't get charmed by Nymph any more)


If you haven't voted yet, please remember the poll: What are the best mods according to you?
The PBEM & Single Player Balance Mod lost several ranks, it would be great if it could get back to #3! I'm sure several people didn't vote yet.

== PBEM 2vs2 Team Tournament ==
Round 2 is extended until 31 January due to the Winter holidays for Christmas and New Year's Eve, which delayed several matches. It is an exceptional extension. There should be no holidays during round 3 so it should last 2 months.
For those who finished their matches, please start thinking about your class/race and send it to the judges if you chose it, that will save time to start round 3.

== PBEM 2017 Duel Tournament ==
The new map size should be released soon on the beta branch of the balance mod! Zaskow almost finished it.

The PBEM & Single Player Balance Mod is #3 right now but has only 9 votes, I hope more than 9 players here find it useful!

Please check the rules if you haven't yet: https://www.the-battlefield.c... />"Following good comments from Tussel, I clarified the possibilities for class/race choice (the part in bold has been added):
A team (player) can never play a class or race that it played in all its previous matches (so you can play Goblin only once in the whole tournament, you can play Sorcerer only once, etc.). As there are only 7 classes, after your 7th match, the "counter is reset", i.e. you can play all the class/race again. However, in your 8th match, you cannot play the class or the race that you played in your 7th match."
Please note that the max hero level proposed is level 13 and that we should play on a "tournament size" map, bigger than Small map.
We still have 5 slots left and we still need everyone who wishes it to contribute financially: https://www.the-battlefield.c... />

EDIT:

I also encourage everyone to read that report https://www.the-battlefield.c... to learn more about balance issue regarding Necromancer. It illustrates why Whispers of the Fallen is too strong, among other things.

We need 5 more players for the 2017 PBEM Duel Tournament, please spread the word to your friends:
To all the players already registered, please remember that - following a poll where 18 people said they were ready to pay at least 1 euro, including 14 more than 3€ https://www.the-battlefield.c... - prizes are planned for this tournament and we need people to contribute financially to pay for them. The recommended contribution is 3€ (that's also the minimum if you pay through Paypal; you can pay through bank transfer and give less than 3€ but then you're not eligible to the prizes) and you can contribute by using Paypal (you don't need a Paypal account, you can just use a credit card with the help of Paypal, without creating an account): https://www.the-battlefield.c... />So far, only 2 players (4 if we count MarKymark and me) have donated money. Please don't forget to do it before the tournament starts, otherwise it will be complicated for us to plan which prizes to buy!
Please let me know by PM if you have any issue with the payment system.

The tournament can start only when v1.2 is ready so we are basically waiting for Zaskow to have free time to code it.
A new article on the site provides the changelog of v1.2: https://www.the-battlefield.c...

Tasslehoff reason, Twisted Roots is a too strong spell that would that would be a little updated.
It is true that also penalizes friendly units, but it's also true that inside all of the sites, (quarry, trading post, crystal tree, dungeon, tomb, ruin ...), there are always a few units that fly or have 36 movement points, then enough just two or three heroes to succeed to take without problems almost all sites.
For the heroes that move three hexes at a time, while most enemy moving of two, and a few flying or other that moving three, it's very very easy to win without ever getting hit.
My two cents.

TwistING roots? It's ok - it's affecting ALL units, so to utilize it best the player has to have researched a tier 3 spell, and have flying shooter/s. Stiffen Limbs is something you cast on turn1 4 times in one battle.

Were you serious Tasslehoff or did i manage to offend you somehow and sarcasm was the only option left for you - i can't make my mind ):

Hi all,

i approve all suggested balance tweaks except: GC24 
the reason why i don't like it is that undead/necro are already too strong (yes - still) and the Dungeon is anyway best taken on turn1 with weak army by Necro (no lose of units and all that). Just add some dispell efect and all will be fine (; or better yet - no spells can be cast inside or at least make something that punishes Necro too.

The payment system is operational! Please go to the tournament page https://www.the-battlefield.c... and then click on "Donation for the tournament" (direct link https://www.the-battlefield.c... The minimum if you give through Paypal is 3€ because of fees from Paypal which make it not worthwhile to give less. You can give less (1€ or 2€) by bank transfer. Reminder: this tournament has prizes, so a financial contribution of 3€ is recommended but optional. Players who give 3€ or more will be able to win prizes, for the top 3 and 1 random prize awarded among all these players. Details in the article launching the tournament: https://www.the-battlefield.c... />Zaskow is pretty busy and it seems we won't get v1.2 soon... Even more problematic, he is not able to release the new map size. So the start of the tournament may be delayed. If any of you is interested to help mod, please contact me! It would be really great and would help us move forward on the balance mod.

== Balance ==
Reminder: we need more feedback on the changes below.
I think for elemental specs, we are going to try to give more usefulness to Domain of xx and Empire of xx techs first and then we'll see later if we decrease their cost. As most Adept specs were already quite liked (e.g. Air and Water), we'll try to boost Earth Adept more. Elemental Master specs were not as liked. So maybe the current proposals are not sufficient to balance well specs, we'll see after the changes are implemented.
I also think more debate is needed about high level sites. I see that the current proposals do not get much support. But I think at the same time most people agree that Legendary or Mythical sites should be harder than Epic sites like Tomb, which is not the case now (like Tasslehoff illustrated with the Dread Reaper in Tombs).
