This is a player pool for the new Arena game mode, which allows short manual tactical battles between two humans, without strategic play. Please use the scheduler tool of the BF to state your availability and arrange battles. A tournament should be organized around November-December. In order to play with the Arena, please follow these instructions (detailed instructions and presentation of the Arena in this article): 0. get the following mods from the Steam Workshop: Decodence Elemental Mod No Domain Structure Minimum Distance 1. download the 2 .taf files here 2. put the 2 .taf in this folder in your C:\Users\[your user name]\Documents\My Games\AoW3\UserContent 3. activate the Arena and Arena balance mods in your launcher, as well as the Decodence Map Content, Elemental Mod and No Domain Structure Minimum Distance mods (5 in total). Launch AoW3. 4. use the "Arena map v2.0X" custom map. (later, you may want to delete the .sam and ~sam files in the \UGC_ARENA [76561198121141565] folder to prevent them from appearing in your custom map selection screen) Hopefully in future versions, only 1 mod will be necessary. Showcase videos Set-up tutorial Two videos of AbedNego vs Nemesis_Zero in the first showcase matches of the Arena: #1 and #2. The recommended rules: Take 4500 RP from the resource stashes. Do not evolve things through levelling (report if you see any unit with Evolve, there should be none). Do not produce things you could summon (Cherub, animals for AD, other summons for Sorcerer, etc.), summon them. Report if you see one such unit, there should be none. Only movements, no other action on round 1 of the battle (no use of abilities or spells). Select a terrain (overlay + climate) and who will launch the attack before the battle (and before players choose their army). List of banned spells (many useless Empire upgrades, Strategic spells, etc. are also removed): - Rite of Malediction List of modified spells: - Disintegrate: cannot target Leaders Tools Army builder spreadsheet (database of all units, skills and hero upgrades to help build one's army)

Thanks!

Seems like Call Lightning really is a Problem (was a clear Thing to hsppen), maybe there should be a Limit of those skills, some Gentlemen Agreement?

In the 2nd battle, the first Fire Dragon died without making a Fire Breath - maybe flying away from the engaging Death Bringers would´ve been the better Option. The Blight Elemental has Fire Weakness, too

But I would do other mistakes for sure. Let is be in preparation or in combat
When are the next battles?

PS I think Marcus forgot that the Death Bringers have Total Awareness<smiletext18>

v1.04 released in the usual folder (see pool's description): https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ea... />
- remove Evolve from units (let me know the ones I forgot)
- limit to 1 Dwelling by game mechanism
- Dwelling costs 1500 RP
- removed most of the summons from cities

We're close to getting something matching the description on the official forum, so I'm probably to do one more update, with a file including all the necessary mods, so that people have only 1 file to download, and then I'll be done and we'll need a modder to take the lead on the next (balance) updates. We will need to start the map and mod back from scratch, to have something clean with only 1 mod needed and no shit stuff in the code (like we currently have, but it's not visible for non-modders).

I put v1.03 Arena_balance_v1-03.taf in the usual Dropbox folder (see link in the pool's description). It solves some issues (some T5/T6 spells' research, Node Serpent, some evolves were removed) and start introducing the "unique Dwelling" stuff (but not yet implemented, it doesn't do anything for Giant, and only lock/unlock 4 Naga units). But I had an issue with Spiders - they are buildable on all cities -, that I was not yet able to identify, and I already spent too much time on it today so cannot solve it. Might also cause issues with Sorcerer units being buildable for everyone, not sure.
So update only if you're ok to ignore all the units in the cities that you should not be able to build! The basic rule is still: don't produce summons in cities, research them then cast them.

Hello,

If anyone is free this afternoon/evening, from 18-22 CET, I would like to play a few arena games!

Went with a stack of spydrones in an abandoned bandit camp (tropical area iirc) and once they were in there they couldn't move anymore. and when he attacked my stack next to them they weren't included in the fight, but the fight took place in the camp. When he attacked the spydrone stack directly everythign seemed fine though.

I made several improvements to the "Arena balance mod", including setting "Starting skills" to 0. Now the .taf mod file includes the latest version of the map. I updated the description in this Arena pool.

So please download the latest version of the Arena balance mod here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ea... />You can delete your previous folder of the Arena balance mod in your UserContent folder and you can delete your older version of the map in your Map folder.

Just to reassure players that will come after AlX: it's not really complicated to set up. I had made a mistake when I first described the process to follow, I updated it in the pool's description: just follow the steps and it'll be fine, you should be set up in 5min.

I'm available again today in about 2 hours (15:00 GMT), if someone is available!

@AlX and Marcus: I updated the map to bring it closer to what is described in the official forum (for instance now you need to research your class units). Please download the map from the link in the game description and put it in the folder indicated at step 3/ C:\Users\[your user name]\Documents\My Games\AoW3\Maps folder
Also please check the updated recommended rules:
Use only 1 Dwelling.
Do not build Lesser Elementals.
Do not evolve things through leveling.
Do not produce things you could summon (Cherub, animals for AD, other summons for Sorcerer, etc.), summon them.


@AlX: when I said 18:00 European time 16:00 GMT, I meant Paris, Berlin, etc. for European time. Latvia is GMT+3 so it's normal you were at 19:00 at that time and 20:00 when you posted.

I think I managed to setup everything (4 mods and I can choose from 3 maps, 2 of which are outdated)

Hi AIX, so its a bit more tricky then Hiliadan wrote, you need to put the .taf mod NOT in a folder, but by itself in the user content. And the .sam in the "maps folder". You need to manually select the units and pick up the resources. If you have time I can play with you, but we better speak on steam! It's not so easy to get it going

Hey, guys! Some unforeseen circumstances, I'll be available in about 1 h. 
Btw, are there any other requirements beside mods? How does troop selections work?

EDIT: it's 20:06 in LV now, I guess difference has appeared because of summer time

I managed to get away from work an hour earlier, so I'm available as well!

AlX, it seems you're available now. We could try now if you can host (I can't because AoW3 does not allow my connection to host).
Otherwise we can try tomorrow at about the same time (18:00 European time, 16:00 GMT).

We're working on the schedule helper with Markymark to make it easier to use.
