Idea for a tournament

Teams of Four (or more? Less?) play through levels for achievements worth points, only 1 film per map is allowed. At the end of the tournament the team with the highest points wins.

Speed - We can set the par time. Any minute less is +1 point, and minute more is -1 point.

Kills - Kill everything for a couple points, any close combat 5 kill veteran is a few more points

Casualties - Every death loses a point? A half point?

Map-specific challenges such as doing The Baron with only warriors or dwarfs. Also map-specific deductions for, say, leading thrall with a berserk on the Stair of Grief or other "game exploits" to be decided upon by a panel of judges.

Completion - Get 5 points for winning.

Some discussion topics:
- No unit trading after first thirty seconds?
- Every player must start with at least 5 points worth of units. Example: Archers are 1 point, warriors are 1 point, berserks are 2 points, dwarfs are five points, journeymen are 4 points, etc. This way it's not one player dominating everything.
- Only certain maps? If so, which ones?
- Legendary only or include every difficulty while adjusting for points?
- perhaps each team can enter only 5 maps out of a pool of twenty or more?
- vTFL maps? vTWA maps? (if Revan makes them)

- everything above is open for debate. All of my listed examples are brainstorms that might be very silly in practice.

I'm eager to hear what you think.

TWA won't be released in time. 2010 is the more likely release date (early 2010 though)

My aim right now is for a christmas release but no promises Sad

The past few days I've been working on patching up The Greaty Journey
its coming along great and pushing the limits.

That'll be ready on the 21st so you can feel free to use that as a huge bonus.

like beating it on above normal can add like idk 50 pts?

the 50 pts makes up for the points ull prob lose for taking up about 90 - 120 min to finish the level.
