Welcome to the WarGamingLive #138

I got the nasty flu so maybe there won't be WGL this Saturday, but Master of the Dead says he might host it an hour and half later then usual:
(1vs1) - May 21st, 2016 - 13:30 US/Central // 19:30 GMT // 20:30 Continental Europe (GMT+1)

Probably on ME 0% WR but who knows?! Styxie says she'll bully MotD to be on Phobia instead.

Super Smoove might or might not host a 2v2 on Sunday.

Everyone is welcome to join. We encourage all - experienced players and newbies alike.

Active hosts and commentators: ps, Lolowut, master of desaster, Master of the Dead, Beren Erchamion, Jefferspin, Timinator, Styx and Super Smoove.

Past hosts and commentators: Mythonian, Fizzer, Dunga, x, Hedja, Reza, Robespierre, Trollusa, Mian, kcscrag, Miyagi, TheWarlightMaster, Gui, Dom365, Fridge, Latnox, Pushover, Peixoto, Szeweningen, Gnuffone, Sephiroth, The Swimming Potato, Aura Guardian, Nackickwind, jz, Prabster Realm, Gustave II and many more!

We're going to play on CloudStrife's template.

can we have this map on vote next time
credits to lionheart for creating the map i always wanted

I'll host a 2v2 at the same time as normal on Sunday. Send me templates or I'll come up with something myself.

If I do not have chores to do on Sunday, I will try to be there for the 2v2, Smoove. :)

super smoove bro ill join you

An invite to WGL please. thanks

Prabster: That Sri Lanka map looks awesome. Can you provide a sample game link?

I don't know much about evaluating maps for WGL suitability, but there's some expert considerations to be made. Here are some notes on that subject:

While it may be too big for 1v1 real time, it might be the right size for 2v2?
The ratio of income:territories for all bonuses seems to be n:n+1. In the few WGL and ladder maps I've played, that ratio varies a bit. That variability makes some bonuses more desirable than others, and it creates a need to target the best ones during picking and expansion. But a template with random warlords and wastelands creates this effect as well.

However, what I like about this map that I haven't seen elsewhere is lots of modest sized "super" bonuses (9 clusters of 2-3 bonsues worth an extra +2 or +3). I'd like to try it.

EDIT: All the bonuses in this weeks WGL map have the n:n+1 ratio, so this shouldn't be a deal breaker for Sri Lanka.

I don't think the tourney lionheart made had the most optimal settings. Before recommending the map I think a good template is due =P

I would like an invite pls

Congrats to Farah♦ and Motoki for winning on 2v2 Strategic Ancient Greece Local Deployment Multi-Attack No-Split with Commanders tournament today! We're all very proud of how you did on the tournament that was most definitely not Phobia 2v2.
