BOTTOM 512 — Week 4 — Poll 12

Post by This Old Neon »

Welcome to the #BGE2020 Elimination Round Lower Bracket!

Each game in the lower bracket is still seeded based on its performance in the two opening rounds of pools! Every game in the lower bracket has already been defeated by another game in a 1-on-1 poll to get to this point. This is their chance to claw their way back into the main event... but the stakes are high. The games that lose in these polls are out of the tournament for good! The games that survive will face the next crop of upper bracket losers in the next round.

Polls are updated weekly, typically on Monday. Check back throughout the week to make sure you don't miss a vote!

HOW TO VOTE

This is easy. You only get one vote per poll. The game with the most votes wins. In the event of a tie, the higher seed advances, so don't get complacent!

Romance of the Three Kingdoms II is IMO the definitive old-school pre-"grand grand strategy title.

Perfect size and scope, lots of open possibilities for difficulty and challenge as you can play as any of the great and trash rulers or create your own. Nice focused map phases and good clean tactical war phases. Just advanced enough over the rudimentary, almost-text-based first entry while still avoiding the feature-creep that would be introduced in later entries. One of my favourite games of all time.
