    'Oh matiz you wally!'

    Pretty much sums it up, hilarious finish.

    These KotP preview videos really are getting better and better, this one was brilliant.

    Happy to announce that @ZaphodX and @wpmarshall are going to be dual-casting for the first time since alpha. Will Zaphod's anti-depressants cancel out Marshall's sugar rush?

    Oh man. Poor Americans are going to miss out on a treat with this one. Matiz vs. Clopse AND a Zaphod-Marshall dualcast.

    Totally agree. Amazing video.

    Haven't been playing for a while (due to World Cup mostly) but this match is almost must-watch-stuff... luckily there's no football matches at the same time.

    I haven't been able to see a single clopsy tourny live because you guys always choose a day that I'm doing something. Like seriously, I have been doing nothing all week and this one day you plan on doing a tourny, I have plans :mad:

    It's not a clopsey. It's KOTP with Clopse!

    [RLM]Max has generously agreed to be our guest analyst for the show. As the 10th most prolific player of the game, he has a wealth of tournament experience (participating in three of the four most recent tournaments) and has played numerous games against clopse. He's also one of the younger players of the game and is understandably nervous (as I think most of our guests are before-hand), so I hope you can all be there to encourage him on the day.

    A significant part of being a good player is the ability to adapt. In order to highlight this further, how about in future KotPs server mods are allowed with the following restrictions?

    1. Each server mod may be chosen once by each player.
    2. Server mods that a player created or assisted in the development in may not be chosen as that's just asking for exploits.
    3. If a player is found to have used a server mod with the wrong name (EG they used a mod that was identified as the RCBM due to the modinfo.json but was in reality some mod that makes x unit magnitudes more powerful or whatever) then they will be banned from all future KotPs.
    4. The chosen server mod must have at least 20 installs.
    5. The chosen server mod must have a post dedicated to it on the forum.
    6. The version of the chosen server mod must be both the latest and at least 1 week old.

    Thoughts?

    There's a limit to what a player can be expected to know, and King of the Planet is supposed to be the best player of Planetary Annihilation. Server mods can completely change the game, so at that point it becomes a gimmick contest, or at best some pot luck as to whether the king knows the server mod the challenger introduced.

    Better idea to replace #6 that fixes the above issue.

    Before the post for each new KotP, each player must pick 3 server mods that they will be able to use in the KotP. These do not have to be used, but will be the only ones that player may use. These will be made public. The version at the time of the post will be the one that is used and preferably DL links to that version will be in the KotP post.

    *Suspects subtle plug for balance mod*

    Personally I don't think we should bring server mods into the mix. There is enough hullabaloo each round with knowing which system of your own you'd like to choose, not to mention how that can be exploited to hamper your opponent.

    Then there is also the aspect of casting and commentating - I know for certain that I have not put time into any 'balance' mods. If getting used to the vanilla rebalance is difficult, it'll be even harder to not only start getting used to balance mods, but also maintaining them in our heads and mix it in with vanilla and chop and change - difficult yes but possible however for such an event as this I feel it causes needless confusing and complication. Learning a balance mod is like learning a new game entirely, especially if you are like me and haven't played TA,ZERO-K or whatever.

    If you want to make a server mod tourney - be my guest :p

    No ServerMods in KOTP. it would be an big mess if they are allowed.
    Also KOTP would not be KOTP with these Servermods...

    You want to be the King? Play PA Vanilla only with your own mods on your Client!

    Thats my opinion on that matter
