Awesome, will do

Hey, the 1st TwC 1vs1 Tournament will be being held soon, all those who would like to take part please post here and we will add your name to the list below.

Tournament Rules

1. Fair games. Anyone who is set to play against another who is too high a rank etc will be swapped so they get a fair game.
2. Random games. No one will be picking who they play - I will be placing names into a hat and drawing them out in two's, then posting the line-ups here and on the Clan chat board in-game.
3. Each player can only choose one civ to use throughout the tournament so choose wisely.
4. All games will be recorded.
5. All games will be unrated.
6. All victors will be placed into the hat again and re-drawn to get the next level of the tournament.
7. Have fun! That's what this is about, having fun with other clan members, all games are unrated, so just try your best and have fun!

Post the tactics you use with your civs here. If it doesn't have a name give it one and get posting

When posting a video, please do not use the embed code etc, just copy the page URL into your post and post it, otherwise half of the embed code is unused and just looks horrible.

Cheers
