I think this is a great idea - happy to swap lvl 20 spearmen for roman or gaulish def troops. i think this is a free way of improving defensive capability of CBC.

good idea Hawk

Ok my thoughts:

So teams must be total 5k population and team wins award? I take it Teams can name themselves (amusing but not abusive please)

If larger players take part then they must side with 1 other player only but must be below 1k in population - so in reality, big players take a smaller player under their wing and really helps them in order to help themselves. also forms a good bond between senior members and new comers.

i take it teams form themselves and inform us so we can add to forum. players who do not want to take part do not have to. The only issue with this is that it will be more difficult to determine who wins out of CBC and CBC2 as number of teams is likely to be uneven. That said, it will just mean the the leadership will have to encourage their members to form teams. it should work out i think.

seems to make sense to me - shall we update the CBC Compo bit up on the forum, and then give it a week for players to form up into teams and then start on sunday 3rd May at midnight?

shall i delete all the previous heat/teams information?

Cicero

Just so you are all aware, the next competition starts at midnight sunday 29th March and runs until midnight the following sunday - 5th April.

There have been a few minor rule changes - troop kills reduced and resources doubled. All else the same - if people disagree the let me know.

thanks to 86kurten for info

There have been several requests to explain the scoring system:

The new scoring system has been applied for sake of ease for all players. Players do not, i repeat DO NOT need to keep all their battle reports and painstakenly add up all their loot captured. This is automatically done by TRAVIAN.

To work out your score please to the following:

1. Go to the statistics tab at the top of your travian screen.

2. Click on 'Top 10' icon

3. This will show you the top 10 players that week (this is for Travian awarded medals). However, the screen will also show you YOUR score for the following:

ATTACKER OF THE WEEK - this is how many enemy and nature you have killed
DEFENDER OF THE WEEK - this is how many enemy you have killed in defence

The Rules for the Competition are fairly simple - you can gain points for new villages, loot and kills and lose them roughly the same way.

Cicero and Rockroad will announce the start of each Competition (will be repeated if it proves successful). The Competition will run for 7 days from midnight (UK time) on Sundays to noon the following Sunday.

The CBC wings have been divided up into eight roughly equal teams per wing, who will face off against each other in Heats. New players will be added to teams based roughly on their ranking but can not join in an already started competition. Since only one player will be champion within each Heat it does not really matter if one side has slightly more players.

Points are gained by doing the following:
+100 for conquering village,
+50 for founding a new village,
+25 for capturing an oasis,
+1 per 500 loot gained in net profit (see 1)
+1/2 per point given for kills (see 2)

(1) Travian statistics will show you your net resource gain/loss. ie if it says 75988, it will mean you have a net profit of almost 76,000 resources so 152 points
(2) Travian statistics will show you points for kills you made in attacks/raids and when defending against an attack. The travian scoring system works out points based on the value of troops/creatures killed. ie A macemen eats 1 wheat per hour so 1 point, where as catapults eat 6 so 6 points. if your attacker figure is 176 and defender figure is 49 then you have a total of 225 thus you gain 112 points.

Points are lost by doing the following:
-100 for losing a village,
-50 for losing an oasis,
-50 for a yellow warning.

Resources lost will be calculated by the Travian raiders report. Troops lost will merely effect your capability to gain new points.

When the deadline is reached can players please check their points on the Top Ten charts in Travian Statistics and either IGM leadership or post in the relevant Heat Folder on the forum. It is best to update your score on the forum during the week incase you forget/miss the midnight deadline. if this happens then your last posted score will count. if no score posted then you will be awarded zero.

The aim of this competition is to build some friendly rivalry between CBC wings and to have some fun. Prizes will vary - it may be resources for lower ranked players or it may be promotion for higher ranked players. Either way the winners will have the honour of being proudly displayed on their respective CBC wings profile page as 'Knight of CBC'. If you win twice then you will become Lord of CBC.

Please keep an eye on the rules before each new Competition starts as they may be altered if parts are too easy/difficult etc. Let the battle commence :-)

HI all,

Firstly, thanks for the feedback - much appreciated. To clarify a few points - the player whose hero actually captures the oasis gets the points for it. if a player clears it for him/her then he/she gets points for the kills.

As to points for capturing villages - i am finding out just how ball breakingly difficult it can be. been at it a week and still no where, even with 2 chiefs! boosting to get a third and maybe that will help. its hard as dont want to cat too much of the village as i want it intact :-) i doubt the points value will make a player more or less inclined to capture a village instead of settling so its largely irrelevant. also Rach has a good point that since i am the only one who is really likely to capture it, maybe i should make it 10000 points :-) lets keep it as it is for now so people cant claim i am biased towards myself :-)

CICERO UPDATE - I have since captured a village and since it was close by and uncontested it was really easy. however, i am still trying to wrestle the other village from someone so if long range and contested conquering is REALLY hard work. I will take a look at the entire points structure after first compo results are in. initial views are that kills score should be reduced as too easy. views appreciated over the weekend as to others found scoring system. UPDATE ENDS

any others points let me know - also CBC2 need to get their teams updated before kick off or else players are ineligable for this iteration of the CBC Cup :-)

Good Luck

Cicero

Hello everyone,

The first ever CBC Cup will begin at 2359 (midnight) on Sun 15th March 2009. The end date will 1200 (noon) on Sun 22nd March 2009.

Teams have been altered a little and new names may be added prior to the start date. After that point new players will have to wait until the cup is rerun after 22th March.

One good point from the chat in regards to this idea was do Coalition level ops count. The answer is YES, if troops sent on mission for CBC or Coalition then the loot/kills count.

Creatures killed also count towards your Travian kill rate - higher level creature count for more, its based on wheat consumption so bears are more than rats.

Let the fun begin

Cicero

take a look at the compo and let me know what you think?

any ideas on managing it will be gratefully received.

is Rockyroad on line at the moment?

i jsut spent 10 mins typing rules and it timed me out arghhhhhhhhhhhhh

Please post any links or cut and pasted battle reports that show huge gains in loot from a successful raid. the results will be pro rata so the larger members do not always win :-)

Good Luck - prizes may be resources, def troops or just prestige on the alliance profile page
