I quite liked the "ban the map/categories until one left" other tournaments tried, so for a bo3, you could make it "pick-pick-ban-ban-ban-ban", leaving one category, and maybe another ban-ban for deciding which map in the cat gets played, though obviously that changes somewhat the "pick category, opponent picks map" style, might be still acceptable.Not really sure how to fix this though.
The occasional back ponds are a noted issue on Migration, but overall I've found DE's Migration script to be much more consistent than the one from the original game (where you could even have the mainland split into separate parts with a passage through the middle). Any other feedback about this version of the map?Some of the scripts need looked at ASAP. Saw a couple of times today Migration generating with landlocked ponds at the back of the starting island. This is complete BS and would be very cruel on anyone to lose a game let alone a set for something like that. I'm not sure what script file has been used, but the DE Migration has been having some problems for some time...
i really dont see the useless 2-3 minutes, its a good time to analyze civs, maps, posible strats.9 vill start = good -> could be standard for RM to save 2-3 minutes of 'useless' dark age while still having 'meaningfull' dark age
map system = good -> more all-round players will do well, some arena clowns might also do OK
chaotic map option = not sure if I like this, very yolo

And do you have feedback about other maps?
Note that Bedouins does give +100 Food to the Shore Fish so they have 300 each (unlike DE's African Clearing, which uses the standard 200 Food).IMO I don’t think the Bedouins is fantastic, pond/tree generations are funky with some less fish in others. 9 vill start though does make a difference and should be able to find a decent TC spot though I will admit. But a lot of the time milling a pond for only good access to 1 shore fish. I’m not saying go omega shore fish like some versions, but something a little better would be a bit more fair.

AGE4 NO FUTUREI saw Kasva was playing qualifiers. Didn't he quit aoe2 altogether?

Discussion & Talk
In an attempt to keep all the threads somewhat organised, we have created this for any general tournament discussion. Predictions, expectations or just anything related to Warlords.
Go check ending of Vod of Memb of yesterday, he showed whole spreadsheet with how points were given and will understand. Seeding of course matters a lot, however players like hera want to be top1/win tournaments, so not sure if he himself cares that much about seeding, If you want to get number 1 can't complain about seeding much. Knowing a bit of hera would say he is even more motivated if he feels he should be above. I think it matters more for top 16-10 players.the seeding again is weird for me?why hera is so low
some people still don't get it; those points you round up to get the seeding are manually attributed so you get whatever seeding you want; if you don't understand, answer this: how come seed 3(vinchester) had to play in the qualifiers?Go check ending of Vod of Memb of yesterday, he showed whole spreadsheet with how points were given and will understand.

Every single player above Hera has reached at least one S tier tournament final this year, and Hera hasn't. Seeding looks totally fine.the seeding again is weird for me?why hera is so low
