If it matters I created it before the tournament was open, then applied as soon as it was.

I did the same thing, and have 0 points and it says I can only buy stuff when registered.

You receive the points once registration finishes. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.

Maybe I shouldn't have designed it that way, but it made some of the database code a little easier. I'll put that on the to-do list to change for future tournaments.

I think JP has to hit the "START TOURNAMENT" button and then everyone gets points and all that.

I made a grandmaster ant woman with 4 shields and let her fight against a tigerman with proficient swords and fighting and armed with a two handed sword.

The ant woman bled to death due limb explosions resulting from punches.

edit: She blocked every single sword blow.

I did the same, they both passed out from exhaustion, but eventually the tiger man bled to death from a lucky bite so it's somewhat viable maybe?

Hmmm... Looks like Toady added a crit effect to bolts hitting unconscious targets. I put a human in full adamantine armor and let 20 crossbowmen shoot hit with iron bolts. They did absolutely nothing until a couple of them hit him in the lips and he fainted from pain. Suddenly, the bolts started breaking bones through the breastplate and the first one to hit the head brained him.

Since it looks like people are already testing out potential builds, here is a link to the modded version of DF2014 that will be used for the tournament, which incorporates the Voxmod changes.

Arena Mode for DF2014 sets fighter morale to be off by default, and we'll be keeping it that way. While it might be hilarious the first time everyone runs away in terror at the first gruesome injury, that poo poo would get old pretty quick. :colbert:
