The Clash of the Sundered Kingdom

​

Welcome stranger. I see you've lost your way. From King Arthur's realm are you? You poor thing, if only you had stayed safe at home. For centuries our land has been torn by savage war. Eight siblings and their armies, each fighting for control over their father's legacy. It is a cruel land, even more than your own. But I have seen you in my magic ball. You were brought here for a purpose.

You are destined for greatness young warrior. But to fulfill your destiny you must join our war. There is glory lain out for you, but it is a tough road ahead. You will face many challenges and meet many challengers, some who will become fierce allies and some who will become eternal rivals.

Well young one, are you interested? Do you want me to accept your destiny? You can turn back now... Or you could accept and become a hero.

The Clash of the Sundered Kingdom​

Welcome warriors new and old to the Clash of the Sundered Kingdom. This is a competitive KAG league where eight teams will compete for fun and glory.

The oracle will ordain which house is meant for you and from that point on you will report to your house leader and co-leader who will schedule battles and training sessions.

The format is CTF with a few modifications to better suit it to a competitive format. Class changing during a match will be prohibited and each team will have three knights, one archer, and one builder. The map pool will be hand picked by our team of professionals and further changes may follow as the league develops.

The teams will play first in a best of three round robin before competing in a best of five double elimination tournament, with the grand finals being held as a best of seven. The matches will be played on a map and each matchup the attacking team will choose a territory of their enemy to attack.

About the Armies:

Spoiler: House Names and Descriptions

House Antinanco - Duke Antinanco is known as a fair leader and a master strategist. He cares for his people, doing his best to limit casualties and fighting only when necessary. In his personal life he is a quiet man, only seen to lose his temper in the face of his twin brother and fiercest rival, Cedric.

House Cedric - Where his brother is quiet and careful, Cedric is loud and reckless. A great beast of a man he is known for charging headfirst into battle. He is powerful but short tempered and leaves little time for thinking.

House Silvia - While known for her beauty and elegance, Silvia is also proud and haughty. She is fair to those who show her proper respect but is quickly enraged by those who slight her. She is disdained by much of the land but commands a a fierce loyalty from her people.

House Moire - A ladies man perpetually unsuccessful, he is the butt of many jokes. Moire is often considered nothing more than the youngest brother but behind his antics he is a dependable friend and brilliant architect.

House Jose - "Everyone is an idiot" sums up Jose's philosophy. A harshly critical man, Jose is famous for his unfriendly personality. While it is not useful at parties, Jose's keen eye for flaws make him a potent tactician. Particularly in the art of siege there is no one who can equal his knack for taking apart a well-built defense.

House Thea - Full of compassion, Thea is known for her kindness and love. Yet still she sends her soldier to kill and die. Thea is ambitious and she believes in her heart that she is the only one who can end the war, and the only one that would be able to bring peace.

House Nodin - Like his siblings, Nodin desires the throne fire and foremost. But Nodin has one other great passion. Gold. Known for his garish displays of wealth Nodin's clothing, dinnerware, and home are all plated with gold. Despite his greed Nodin is the most honourable of all the siblings and even where his desires are concerned he can always be trusted to play by the rules.

House Grimm - A cunning, vicious man who lives by violence. While Cedric is known to take joy in fighting, this brother is known to take joy in killing. He is feared by all his siblings and only respects one thing: power

Really great idea! Can't join since my schedule is unpredictable. Is anyone planning to stream/record the games? Would love to actually watch some of the competitive action in Beta. Wonder how it will play out. It probably will need quite a few mods since there are so many underused but easily abused things. Food/water/ etc.

 

Is "House Jose" and his ideas supposed to represent Kouji?

 

I don't suppose I need a steam account do I?

 

Doesn't seem like it.

 

I don't honestly understand why class switching should be prohibited. You're just closing an array of strategies and making games more predictable.

 

I'd totally join... but it kinda depends on when this will begin. :o

 

I really like this idea guys.

 

First of all, thank you for the feedback. There has been almost no exploration of competitive in KAG Beta so far and therefore the format will be a work in progress and is something we are planning to change weekly as play develops. So please, if any of you have suggestions as to the game mode or any of the ways in which we are handling this, feel free to comment.

That said here is what I said on the subject while discussing the rules for this league:

I don't know how long it will take for this to fill up, but I estimate actual matches will be played within two weeks.

edit: Also if you are interested in playing don't hesitate to sign up. We have a number of other players already confirmed the game so we're really at about ~25% of our target playercount.

 

You should get a way to add Princess Geti to all the maps cuz who doesn't want a blonde guy in tight pants, right?

 

The questions really remind me of Tactics Ogre. It's pretty awesome concept.

 

I like the idea and it'll be good to get another league going. Was just wondering if you are planning to fully enlist all the teams and then lock them before starting the league, or if people will be added (/moved) throughout?

The problem with the first is that teams might start to suffer from player attrition as people disappear or lose interest, without the benefit of clans being able to recruit the numbers back up as in clan leagues. The problem with the second is that it allows the league organisers rather a lot of influence in the success of teams depending on where they allocate (perceived) good players and, if they take pains to balance or reshuffle the teams, renders the win/lose record of a team secondary to that of the individual players.

Neither problem is insurmountable I was just wondering which direction you were thinking of going with it.

 

Could we get a full list of the available houses?

 

What if you can't be on all the time? My timezone is GMT +12 but I am on after school. Does it require talking with Skype, mumble, TS3 or any others? I usually can't talk though.

Thanks,

For some reason, this image seems pretty pertinent.

The King Arthur's Gold: and the War of the High Lords ​

 

Hey, this is a pretty cool idea!
@Kouji Who is the leader for each house? (Are we allowed to know yet?)

EDIT: Also, I think House Nodin should be represented with a lion (proud nature and flashy) and Grimm with a serpent (for obvious reasons).
