Dune Super League

#1

Let’s get some organized Dune play! If you have seen the Gaia Project Super League, I have literally copied and pasted from @JammaTal :wink:

winner takes the :high_brightness: trophy and puts his icon down.
2nd player has earned the right to play again in the next titlematch
players 3 and 4 can go to the end of the challengers’ line again (or will be demoted to top challengers’ match, in case this option comes into play).
the top 2 players in the waiting line (or 1st and 2nd of the challengers’ game) will join the titleholder and the runner-up in the next 4P title match.

should we have more interested players than 4 more matches could be played by the challengers for winning the right to play in the next title match.

could look like this:

titlematch

titleholder
runner-up
challenger 1
challenger 2

top challenge match

players 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 will play a match for the right to join the next titlematch.
1st and 2nd in this game will be next challengers 1 and 2.

and just in case we will be more than 8 players, a kind of league system with 4P challenge brackets will come into play with players ascending and being demoted between those mini leagues.

for the very first titlematch it’s simply first-come-first-served.
the first 4 players who want to join are in!

cool, I am in

Also in, even if I still don’t get all of the Rise of Ix mechanics yet, and throw a (carefully off-screen) hissy fit when my laboriously-built win is taken away by some jerk with a lucky handful of intrigue cards. Well, someone has to fill out the challengers table :slight_smile:

I assume Ix is required in this league?

Preference would be to add Ix (I have it and haven’t used yet)

Yeah, I have a preference for Ix, I think it adds more interesting decision making and more paths to victory (especially beating people with a skillfully put together handful of intrigue cards).

only 50% (or less) of players being able to see the final round replay and the result screen is a setback for sure.
here is still hope that DW will get it fixed. it works in their other games.
they should have the knowhow :man_shrugging:

does anybody know if it works reliably with the PC version?
i’d be ready to buy again then. the big screen won’t hurt either.

does crossplay function well?

#12

It seems to work in the new ranked games, which are live.

I’ve finished in every position, I think, from first to fourth. I’ve always gotten a final results screen.

Let’s give it the rest of today and I will get the list, shuffle the tables and we can get started in time for Fri-YAY

Welcome to Chapter 1 - we have 10 people, which means 2 full tables and two on the waitlist for Chapter 2. If we have enough to kick off a 3rd table (an extra 1 at a minimum) we will get that rolling as well!

The first player listed sets up the game / invites the others.

We will be playing Dune Imperium
Leader Selection - Standard
Rise of Ix - On
Epic Mode - Off
Timer Options - Async

Table 1
@JammaTal
@zen4one
@TheDukester
@Hardco

Table 2
@JMH.75
@SpiceTheCat
@kennfusion
@jason1002

Table 3 / Waiting
@Baelnor
@Mirefox

Insert something insightful about spice being life and not attracting the wurm…

#16

yeah, it’s an async problem.

a word of warning!
this ingame information panel seems terribly wrong!

it must be: “If an AI takes a turn for a player (who’s 3 days timer has run down) that player is permanently replaced by the AI.”

i’ve seen it happen in two different games now.
the “If an AI takes a turn for a player two times in a row”-appeasement is a hoax.

what happened here? good intention but didn’t find its way into the game?
or intended as sharp as is and just wrong wording?

shame on DireWolf.
very poor support and maintenance for Dune.
i never got an answer when i sent them feedback reports about vanished games and unseen final scorings.
and btw a “next game” button is urgently needed.

@jason1002 - I think you’re >2 days into your move timer. We don’t want you to be turned into an AI :wink:
