Balthazar's Arena
« on: April 02, 2010, 07:49:11 am »

Hello!

I am starting simple PvP arena where players can compete on having "best" team. Outwit you oponents! Prove your teambuilding skillz! Crush oppostition by your knowledge of game mechanics! Tell Urist "gtfo noob, l2p, kthbai"!

Rules:

Team of 7 versus team of 7, two teams at a time in Single-elimination tournament. You can skill and equip them based on costs from embark screen, only items avaiable from embark in vanilla game are permitted; Vanilla costs and amount of embark points.

For simplicity, you can submit your team as saved embark profile while pointing out who gets what items.

If there are not enough submissions to populate tournament, default embark profile (unskilled, two axes, two picks) is stubbed in as a dummy.

Current status:

May tournament open, awaiting team submissions.

Do they all have to be dwarves? If so:

7 dorfs, all with steel axes and full copper plate... All the points I have left over in axedorf, spread evenly as possible over all 7 dorfs.

Make sure to film the fights and post on Youtube!

Yeah, dwarves, I§ like to stick with simple "can embark in vanilla?" rule.

Yay for first contestant!

Actually swap the steel axes for copper warhammers and the axedorf point dump to hammerdorf please, so 7 doffs with full copper plate and hammers with all points dumped in hammerdorf.

My entry:

A single dwarf wielding a steel short sword, decked out in full iron gear (all the armor mentioned in the profile goes to him)

Second crossbowdwarf armed with a copper crossbow and 25 copper bolts.  I should end up with one point left over that I will use up by naming the swordsdwarf 'Bob'  If possible.

If we are allowed to set formations the leftover unskilled will be infront of bob and the crossbowdwarf, bob directly behind them, and the crossbowdwarf behind Bob.

If any of my messing around in the arena means anything this should do rather well.

- 7 Copper Breastplates
- 7 Copper Greaves
- 7 Copper Helms
- 7x Skilled (9 Points) in Hammerdwarf

16 Dogs
