This is a player pool for the new Arena game mode, which allows short manual tactical battles between two humans, without strategic play. Please use the scheduler tool of the BF to state your availability and arrange battles. A tournament should be organized around November-December. In order to play with the Arena, please follow these instructions (detailed instructions and presentation of the Arena in this article): 0. get the following mods from the Steam Workshop: Decodence Elemental Mod No Domain Structure Minimum Distance 1. download the 2 .taf files here 2. put the 2 .taf in this folder in your C:\Users\[your user name]\Documents\My Games\AoW3\UserContent 3. activate the Arena and Arena balance mods in your launcher, as well as the Decodence Map Content, Elemental Mod and No Domain Structure Minimum Distance mods (5 in total). Launch AoW3. 4. use the "Arena map v2.0X" custom map. (later, you may want to delete the .sam and ~sam files in the \UGC_ARENA [76561198121141565] folder to prevent them from appearing in your custom map selection screen) Hopefully in future versions, only 1 mod will be necessary. Showcase videos Set-up tutorial Two videos of AbedNego vs Nemesis_Zero in the first showcase matches of the Arena: #1 and #2. The recommended rules: Take 4500 RP from the resource stashes. Do not evolve things through levelling (report if you see any unit with Evolve, there should be none). Do not produce things you could summon (Cherub, animals for AD, other summons for Sorcerer, etc.), summon them. Report if you see one such unit, there should be none. Only movements, no other action on round 1 of the battle (no use of abilities or spells). Select a terrain (overlay + climate) and who will launch the attack before the battle (and before players choose their army). List of banned spells (many useless Empire upgrades, Strategic spells, etc. are also removed): - Rite of Malediction List of modified spells: - Disintegrate: cannot target Leaders Tools Army builder spreadsheet (database of all units, skills and hero upgrades to help build one's army)
I started with 100 Gold /500 Mana / 4500 RP
It was ok I think. But I dodn´t know how to Research properly.
Maybe we can use this mode for Balance issues or just Training - not competetive
It has so much powerful skills and compared to other T3 Units, the Call Lightning is a very strong buff.
Even T4 Units don´t get such a buff on elite, didn´t they?
I think for me smaller battles would make more fun.
I don´t have much time the next week, depends whether my PBEMs go faster or stay slow
@Marcus I add you on Steam for easier handling
I would be up for a battle if you want Gladis?
It's a bit tricky to set up though, but I think Hiliadan wrote a guide somewhere in the pool or in the live event.
The next tournament I plan to organize will be an Arena tournament, as soon as possible.
As you pointed out in your comments, there are many balance issues specific to the Arena to deal with. So I hope we can have many battles as soon as possible, to identify the issue and fix them in the Arena mod. I also plan to rewrite the Arena mod from scratch to have only 1 mod required to play, and not 4 (or 5?) forgot like now.
I think you can contact people in this pool and organize battles. I won't be available myself but others probably are.
Seems like Call Lightning really is a Problem (was a clear Thing to hsppen), maybe there should be a Limit of those skills, some Gentlemen Agreement?
In the 2nd battle, the first Fire Dragon died without making a Fire Breath - maybe flying away from the engaging Death Bringers would´ve been the better Option. The Blight Elemental has Fire Weakness, too
But I would do other mistakes for sure. Let is be in preparation or in combat
When are the next battles?
PS I think Marcus forgot that the Death Bringers have Total Awareness

- remove Evolve from units (let me know the ones I forgot)
- limit to 1 Dwelling by game mechanism
- Dwelling costs 1500 RP
- removed most of the summons from cities
We're close to getting something matching the description on the official forum, so I'm probably to do one more update, with a file including all the necessary mods, so that people have only 1 file to download, and then I'll be done and we'll need a modder to take the lead on the next (balance) updates. We will need to start the map and mod back from scratch, to have something clean with only 1 mod needed and no shit stuff in the code (like we currently have, but it's not visible for non-modders).

So update only if you're ok to ignore all the units in the cities that you should not be able to build! The basic rule is still: don't produce summons in cities, research them then cast them.
If anyone is free this afternoon/evening, from 18-22 CET, I would like to play a few arena games!

So please download the latest version of the Arena balance mod here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ea... />You can delete your previous folder of the Arena balance mod in your UserContent folder and you can delete your older version of the map in your Map folder.
I'm available again today in about 2 hours (15:00 GMT), if someone is available!
@AlX and Marcus: I updated the map to bring it closer to what is described in the official forum (for instance now you need to research your class units). Please download the map from the link in the game description and put it in the folder indicated at step 3/ C:\Users\[your user name]\Documents\My Games\AoW3\Maps folder
Also please check the updated recommended rules:
Use only 1 Dwelling.
Do not build Lesser Elementals.
Do not evolve things through leveling.
Do not produce things you could summon (Cherub, animals for AD, other summons for Sorcerer, etc.), summon them.
@AlX: when I said 18:00 European time 16:00 GMT, I meant Paris, Berlin, etc. for European time. Latvia is GMT+3 so it's normal you were at 19:00 at that time and 20:00 when you posted.
