Round 2 has started. For some matches, we're still waiting for a decision by the judges on score victories during round 1. So if I didn't post in your game blog, it means the roster is not yet confirmed for your game.
Reminder: please use the MAIN branch of the balance mod for this round (and not the Tournament Edition like for round 1), it's this one: http://steamcommunity.com/sha... />
The lucky prize was awarded to DreadReapr, congratz to him: http://www.randomresult.com/t... As he already owned Planetfall, he gave it to a friend.
Thanks to BBB for offering this generous prize!
Round 3 should also use v1.28 of the balance mod, though there is a possibility it might use v1.29. To be confirmed later on, depending on when tests for v1.29 can start and finish.
== Balance ==
The article describing v1.28 has finally been published, sorry for the delay. Please read the explanations and full changelog here: http://www.the-battlefield.co... />
== Misc ==
A Planetfall league has opened, you can use your credentials from this league to join it: https://www.g4l.eu/games/312/ It's still in beta so please report issues to Markymark.
4 days left before the end of current round.
Match #1 gets an exceptional extension of 1 week due to summer holidays and 1 player being away for 3 weeks.
Match #14 gets a time extension of 2 weeks + potentially a few days due to very late start.
Round 2 will still start on 6 August evening, the same day as the release of Planetfall. Several matches will however be delayed to wait for matches #1 and #14.
The draw for the lucky prize has started: http://www.randomresult.com/t... />Henrysix was excluded as he is inactive. If some players have also become inactive by 6 August, they won't be able to receive the prize and the draw will be restarted.
REMINDER about the lucky prize: one player will receive a free copy of Planetfall. It will be gifted by BBB on Steam.
@the following players: please send your class/race to Jonny Thunder, marcuspers and/or me for round 2 as you already know your opponent:
phirpo vs mahimka
SpiritSeeker vs Piao
xlnt vs DreadReapr
rrrrookie vs batbl4
Goh12 vs Minerva Madin
Guttzu vs Olop
== 2018 2vs2 Team Tournament ==
Sleeping Dog & personian got the score victory on round 3, when score penalties were included for delays caused by Brews Brothers.
Round 4 ongoing.
== Misc ==
Only 7 votes for the poll about Orc RG, we really need more! What Racial Governance (RG) upgrade do you usually take when playing living Orcs?
Same issue for Human RG: What Racial Governance (RG) upgrade do you usually take when playing living Humans?
About 15 days left until end of round. We'll have the draw of the lucky prize (AoW: Planetfall copy) on 6 August.
The 2 matches which started late will probably have some extra time to be able to be completed.
== 2018 2vs2 Team Tournament ==
Round 4 started.
Lck sent screenshots of the score and judges are discussing them, we should have a decision on the result of Sleeping Dog & personian vs Brews Bros (from round 3) soon.
== Misc ==
Please vote in the ongoing polls:
What Racial Governance (RG) upgrade do you usually take when playing living Orcs?
What Racial Governance (RG) upgrade do you usually take when playing living Humans?
This will help the RG balance effort. v1.3 should have a big RG overhauld so it's very important to get the community's opinion to get the balance right.

Less than 2 days left, except for match #21 and #22 who have 7 days on top of that.
To clarify my messages in all the game blogs except game #21 and #22: the last player of the turn should apply the procedure described only AFTER the deadline of the round expired, i.e. 2019-06-30 8:42 PM GMT+0.
Reminder: round 4 will use v1.28 of the balance mod.
Please start thinking about your class/race!
Round 5 will start only in 3 months or more.

These changes are confirmed for v1.29:
GC61a
Swimming now uses 4 MP/hex on the strategic map. Sea Creatures get Natural Swimming and still uses 3 MP/hex.
Sea Creatures do not take attack of opportunity when moving near other units (like Flyers near walking units).
Â
GC61b
Flying and Floating units get a "Flying over water" penalty of -1 defense, -1 resistance when flying over water. Mariner cancels that malus.

The Tournament Edition of the balance mod has been updated to v1.28 and games can now be hosted.
Please do not start games until you get a green light from a judge (me for now) on the game blog.
== 2018 2vs2 Team Tournament ==
All matches get a +8 days extension given that all matches except one were delayed for about 8 days due to judging processes. The deadline for the end of round has been updated on this page: https://www.the-battlefield.c... />Matches #21 and #22 get an additional +7 days due to a late start caused by delays in round 2.
The tournament is launched! The end of round will be 6 August when Planetfall is released. The roster is available here: http://www.the-battlefield.co... We currently lack one player so one of us gets a free pass for now but I hope to find a player to fill that slot soon.
Please check your opponent and send me your class/race by private message (PM: http://www.the-battlefield.co... For Markymark (who plays vs me), please wait, I'm going to choose some assistant judges as soon as possible (sorry I'm a bit late!).
Please remember rule 5: http://www.the-battlefield.co... />"5. A player can never play a class or race that he/she played in all his/her previous matches (so you can play Goblin only once in the whole tournament, you can play Sorcerer only once, etc.). As there are only 7 classes, after your 7th match, the “counter is resetâ€, i.e. you can play all the class/race again. However, in your 8th match, you cannot play the class or the race that you played in your 7th match.
BEFORE the match, you must let the Judges (but not your opponents) know what class and race you will play for your upcoming match by private message in the Battlefield website."
It is NOT necessary to have DLC to play the tournament, to answer one question I got. The other player will then host with DLC.
Also, please do NOT host games for now, I need to get the Tournament branch of the balance mod updated so that we use it for round 1. We'll use v1.28 for round 1.
About 22 days left in round 3.
An extension is being discussed among judges for matches #20 and #22 which started two weeks late due to delays in round 2 and team replacements.
Please also note that in case of score victory, in addition to the malus applied to players exceeding 24 hours per turn (outside announced business trips, etc.), an additional malus will be applied to players joining the game late and thus delaying its start.
== 2019 Duel Tournament ==
We have about 27 players registered for this last tournament! Still missing 5 though, so please let your friends know about it!
It's here: https://www.the-battlefield.c... />If we don't reach 32 players, I'm probably going to switch it to single elimination, to reduce its duration and make sure we keep everyone on board without players dropping out.
phirpo suggests to change one setting to Random heroes match player race: On (instead of Off currently). Please express your opinions here (or on this game blog): https://forum.paradoxplaza.co... />
The tournament should start in a few days (6 June).
== Balance ==
The main branch on v1.27 has been updated to fix some exploits. Work is still ongoing on it so I'll probably tell more when the situation is fully stabilized.
