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 Saturday... or Sunday or 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!

NNK is a lovely game. Very cute. Great storyline. Ghibli art. The beginning melody of the overworld theme is quite nostalgic for me.

Even though I liked Rise of Nations, and played it quite a bit, I have to admit it was kind of lacking. It's too slow for an RTS, and too fast to be a 4X. It's trying to bridge the genres but the combination isn't really as good as either on its own. The trading bonuses were kind of interesting, and border mechanics are neat, but as a 4X fan it was too stressful, and it was missing the purity of most RTSes.
I feel NNK is a better (and more interesting) game.
