For those of you who might be confused, please see below the final copy of the rules and settings, this should make everything clear.
All round 1 games to be completed before July 18th
Map settings and MapPacks
Maps can be downloaded here: https://www.aoezone.net/threads/map-pack-and-download-link.156800/
Make sure you have HIDDEN CIVS enabled.
For all rounds apart from the Finals, the follow applies:
Round is a best of 3, with the first game being the MPC Arabia Mirror matchup. You can not repeat a map, meaning Arabia is not available after game 1. To choose mirror, one player goes random, the other player goes team random.
Loser of each game chooses the next map to play. If you are choosing Regicide Arena, the map chooser also has the choice of NORMAL start or REGICIDE start. If you want a normal start, just select random map instead of regicide in the map settings.
Civ Bans: Each player can ban one civilisation - this ban is applicable to both players. If the civ you ban is played in the Mirror Arabia game, the player who chose that civ ban is required to ban a different civ. These must be chosen before any games are played.
Restarts: 1 per player before the 5 minute mark (if you restart the mirror match up, the civs must be repeated).
Admin restarts: Hopefully we don't have any of these, but if you feel your map is worthy of a restart (bugged gold sheep resources etc), please pause the game and discuss it with each other. Respect each other's decisions and make the call between you.
