[Tournament] Official PACE League - Commander of March - 15th March

Official systems will be released sooner before the tournament. Working on them right now. You will have a chance to observe the planets before the tournament this time!

Excluded planets: Desert and Lava - due to problematic terrain
Included planets: Earth, Ice, Metal, Water, Moon

Metal planet is in for testing purposes, developers will be watching and they really need some testing

Bring on the metal. Strategic, non buggy chokepoints.

But no mountain maps?

Not pure mountain maps, but they will be present on Earth and Ice planets a bit.

Casters: If you're using my PA Stats Live Charts mod, you will need to press "Go" on that chart window the first time you open it to get the charts to show up. This is a bug that I will be fixing, but I won't get to it in time for the tournament.

Sorry about that!

I just want to say I dislike this. I enjoyed adapting to the terrain I encounter and having to scout out my enemy. It's going to be a lot less fun if some players have practiced on the maps and mapped out all the spawn locations. The maps should be launched during the opening ceremony.

I believe the planets generate random metal spots. I am not 100% sure about how it works, but it is random.

EDIT: And since it is getting super late here (3 AM almost) and I am still not ready it will probably end that I will just fell asleep at my keyboard without actually publishing anything and I will release them tommorow during ceremony

I'm not looking forward to the Tower spam... -.- but I will still be there...

We will see. T2 is where the games will be focused around and I am fine with that since T2 units are much more badarse.

Shellers. They murder EVERYTHING.

* Must have radar vision.

I think you mean Gil-E's.

I haven't built a T2 unit besides T2 fabbers, metal, power, flak and a nuke launcher in months xD still a forced fast T2 rush is very annoying and makes T1 units useless :/

Hmmm that kinda sucks, bots tend to get stuck and have huge pathing issues on the metal planets

Have you tried lava/desert? Metal has no pathing problems whatsoever compared to those.

I had no trouble in lava and haven't yet to play a dessert planet. Metal is the only one that has given me trouble as bots tend to get down on the holes and not be able to get out.

Link to the spreadsheet: HERE
​

Desert are problematic and has been played a lot in tournaments anyway. Same about lava planets.

Metal has not yet been played in tournament and the reason it is probably not being worked on much is because developers do not have enough feedback. We will give them some now!

does this mean we will have a full water planet in the tournament?

Not sure those exist those. However it'll definitely be mostly water.

We officially have 64 sign up! Any sign ups from now on will be put on "reserve".
