Details:
The Andromedan War, the Galactic Civil War and subsequent demise of the Galactic Federation have resulted in a political climate of mistrust. For over a century, governments and leaders of the planets have all invested heavily in building vast defensive arms and military fleets.
On Earth, a former safe haven during the Federation Era, the sudden decline of the Earth Alliance (after defeat to Tamriel), resulted in a number of opportunist attempts at invasion. Despite withstanding invaders, the military might of Earth was vastly depleted and a number of protagonists attempted to gain control of the range of valuable resources offerred by Earth's Solar System (sector V).
LHDDD gained a temporary, fragile hold of Sector V, but political tensions accross the other four sectors of the known Galaxy have intensified and Galactic War is now believed to be inevitable. Despite the attempts of the Tamriel Alliance to maintain the period of relative stability under their rule, throughout the Galaxy, powerful alliances are being struck and vast armadas of battle cruisers are finalsing preparations, intensifying the pessimistic expectation for war to break-out at any moment ......

[spoiler= Tournament Format]This will be a 12-team tournament, with 3 players in each team (alliance).
Initial Phase
Each alliance (team) selects a sector (sectors I to IV), and a planet (other than the sector's spyce-producing planet), to consolidate their power.
Each sector will have 3 warring alliances.
Alliances battle to defend their selected planet, to control each other's planets, as well as the spyce-producing planet within the sector (this will be a battle with 3 warring alliances).***
Alliances which gain, or maintain, control of any planet continue to the next phase.
*Where too many alliances are attacking / defending the same target for the battle to be completed in one game (e.g. more than 12 players), then the battle will be decided by a series of games such that each alliance plays twice (e.g. 3 x 2-alliance battles or 3 x 3-alliance battles). If no alliance wins twice then the battlefield becomes neutral.
***If alliances all select different home planets, then they battle against one opponent for their own planet, another opponent to gain a planet, and both opponents for the spyce-producing planet. If two alliances select the same planet then there will be a 3-way battle for that planet, two 2-way battles for the other alliance's planet, a 3-way battle for the spyce-producing planet, and a 3-way battles for the other planets in the sector. If all 3 alliances select the same home planet, then there will be a 3-way battle for that planet, a 3-way battle for the spyce-producing planet, and three 2-way battles for the other planets in the sector.
Secondary Phase
Each alliance (team) select 1 or 2 target planets, command centres, or the solar system, to attack and expand their empire. They then battle with whichever other alliances control, or target, the same target. If no other alliance controls, or targets, the same target, then the target is acquired without contest. If an alliance is not targetted by another alliance and has uncontested targets then they must select another target requiring military engagement.
Alliances controlling a spyce-producing planet have the means for hyperspace travel to other sectors, using the wormhole and warp-gate networks. They can therefore attack anywhere in the known galaxy. Otherwise alliances can only attack one planet, or the command centre, within their own sector.
Alliances which have control of any planet or command centre (or the solar system) continue to the next phase. Alliances which had control of a battlefield which became neutral also continue.
*Where too many alliances are attacking / defending the same target for the battle to be completed in one game (e.g. more than 12 players), then the battle will be decided by a series of games such that each alliance plays twice (e.g. 3 x 2-alliance battles or 3 x 3-alliance battles). If no alliance wins twice then the battlefield becomes neutral.
Tertiary Phase
Each alliance (team) select 1 or 2 target planets, command centres, or the solar system, to attack and expand their empire. They then battle with whichever other alliances control, or target, the same target. If no other alliance controls, or targets, the same target, then the target is acquired without contest. If an alliance is not targetted by another alliance and has uncontested targets then they must select another target requiring military engagement.
Alliances holding a command centre can attack any of the planets in the two adjoining sectors and can select 1 or 2 targets (as well as Aliances controlling a spyce-producing planet being able to attack anywhere in the known galaxy and select 1 or 2 targets). Otherwise, alliances can only attack one planet, or the command centre, within their own system.
Targets are declared in two steps:
Final Phase
Each alliance (team) selects between 1 and 3 target planets, command centres, or the solar system, to attack and expand their empire. They then battle with whichever other alliances control, or target, the same target. If no other alliance controls, or targets, the same target, then the target is acquired without contest. If an alliance is not targetted by another alliance and has uncontested targets then they must select another target requiring military engagement.
Alliances holding a command centre can attack any of the planets in the two adjoining sectors and can select 1 or 2 targets. Aliances controlling a spyce-producing planet can attack anywhere in the known galaxy and select 1, 2 or 3 targets). Otherwise, alliances can only attack one planet, or the command centre, within their own system.
Targets are declared in two steps:
For an alliance to become rulers of the galaxy they must achieve both of the following:
Final Phase - Part 2
If no alliance gains the objective (or more than one alliance does), then the final phase of the war continues as above, with another round of the final phase. Alliances which have control of any planet or command centre (or the solar system) continue to this next round.
Final Phase - Part 3
Again, if no alliance gains the objective (or more than one alliance does), then the final phase of the war continues as above, with another round of the final phase.
Alliances which have control of any three planets or command centres (or the solar system) continue to this next round.
Final Phase - Part 4
If, after three rounds of the final phase, no alliance has gained the objective, then the fate of the galaxy will be determined by a galaxy-wide final battle between the three strongest alliances**.
**The three strongest alliances are determined by the number of battlefields held. If this proves inconclusive, then alliances with equal number of battlefields will be ranked by number of command centres held then by number of spyce-producing planets held. If this is still inconclusive then undecided final position(s) of the three strongest alliances will be determined by the relevant equal alliances enduring a play-off battle (on the Space Trade Map). If more than one of the final positions of the three strongest alliances is to be determined by a play-off then finishing positions in the play-off will be used.
*Where too many alliances are attacking / defending the same target for the battle to be completed in one game (e.g. more than 12 players), then the battle will be decided by a series of games such that each alliance plays twice (e.g. 3 x 2-alliance battles or 3 x 3-alliance battles). If no alliance wins twice then the battlefield becomes neutral.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=TPA6 Fine Print]This is a Tournament Players Association Year 6 [TPA6] event, and is governed by its rules, guidelines, and judgments which are detailed here: https://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=215395.
All are welcome to join and participate in the association. You do not need to do anything more than join one or more of the TPA6 events that will be announced on Mondays.
This tournament for the May 16 slot in TPA6.[/spoiler]
[spoiler= Settings]Battles will be triples, sequential, automatic, escalating, chained, fog and no trench, with a 20-round limit.
Where multi-alliance battles take place on battlefields with limited slots (e.g. Thor (Feudal War) / Loki (AoR3), battles will be doubles (or singles if more than three battling alliances make it necesary). In these instances, the first player(s) listed by alliances will be selected, unless otherwise indicated by alliance captains.[/spoiler]
[spoiler= Signing-Up]Teams must select a sector (I to IV) within which to commence their quest. Teams must also nominate a captain (who will send target decisions at the start of each phase).
There will be 3 alliances in each of sectors I to IV, so choices may become limited as signing-up goes on.
Preemiums only as there can be many battles at any time.
Players signing-up individually will be randomly matched to other individual players.
The final individual player(s) to sign up might not be guaranteed a place if there aren't sufficient individuals to make full teams.
Teams signing-up together should provide a team name.[/spoiler]
[spoiler= Declaring Targets]At the beginning of each Phase (and if the Final Phase is continues into further rounds), team captains will be asked, by PM, to send their target selection(s) to the Tournament Organiser (if the TO's alliance is still in the tournament then he will send his selections in advance to the Tournament Director [player]Mad777[/player] by PM for independance). They will have 48 hours to do so, otherwise they will be assigned one random target.
The tournament organiser will then announce battles and send game invites. If an alliance have selected an uncontested target, then they will gain control of it, but be asked to select another target (see above).[/spoiler]
[spoiler= Missing Turns or Timing-Out]If deliberate missed-turns are suspected then they will be investigated.
If timing-out occurs, it will be assumed to be deliberate, and the team in question will not be allowed to win the game in question (if they do win then the game is declared as a draw).[/spoiler]
[spoiler= Joining Matches]Players will be sent invites and will have 24 hours to join. If they fail to do so then they will be ejected from the tournament and a reserve will replace them.[/spoiler]
