We need to form a map approval committee?
And we would need to also figure out which type of match Nikita.
For one we would also need to figure out the default game settings and use Hamachi to set up the matches...
Would this tourney be 2v2 or 1v1?
A lot of things need to be addressed before we could do this Nikita.

William and nikita we need to reach a consensus on what the default settings for the games will be and how the tournament will be structured... do you have any ideas? And possibly everyone else who may play. (i'm in btw)

Well, balance is one of the things that needs to be looked at. We can't have one player as the Spanish and another one as the Goths, or one player as the Byzantines and another as the Goths because that's totally unfair. There would need to be a random element to it where players can't just decide to pick their favourite and best civilisation that they can play with. Adding randomisation to it will make some extra challenge since players might, for example, be given Aztecs to play with, even if they have never played with them before. It will challenge the players and make them think a bit more strategically, instead of doing what they would do with the civilisation that they play with the most. Every civilisation is different and therefore require different strategies than other civilisations.
Like I said before, there can't be any Deathmatch because that takes out the fun of trying to gather your resources. It just means you can basically build whatever you want straight from the start. Only towards the middle and end of the game will you need to properly start gathering some resources. Setting an age to start at would also be a good thing. Possibly starting out at Dark Age or Feudal Age might be a good idea?
Also, choosing players to play one another might have to be done by someone who is not in this tournament. I say that because if the players are chosen by somebody that they know is good just by reading the thread and their posts, then they might put them with a not so good player, which would be slightly unfair.

Quote:
population:200
reveal map:explored
starting age:standard
victory:standard
The population might have to be lowered in case anybody does play and has Dialup. I know that sometimes I go back to dialup if I go over the monthly bandwidth limit, and I wouldn't want to be playing if the population limit was 200 since it would lag quite a bit. I wouldn't have the map as explored either. What good is it if you have a good view of the playing field? Exploring the map and finding out where things are is a fun part of the game. Starting age should perhaps be Dark Age or Feudal Age like I said before. And for victory, I usually only play Conquest.
EDIT:
I don't think that a player should verse someone else when they might be at such a disadvantage. It could potentially take the fun out of that game, and what good is playing a game when you're not having fun?  I wouldn't have too much fun if I was playing as the goths and the other player was playing as the Byzantines. That's a massive disadvantage right there.
It needs to be balanced, otherwise people are going to complain that they might have lost due to them being at a big disadvantage and that it wasn't fair and all other sorts of things.

Spamming units needs to be done at times when you are in certain situations. It sure is annoying though, but it's still a tactic and if the opponent wishes to try and kill you that way, then you will have to try and defend yourself and fight back. 
And I have played many games in the past where the population limit was at 200 and the game lagged for me. I was on dialup at the time. Of course, the map was on huge or Gigantic. Not too sure though.

I personally think that the starting resources should be the standard, whatever that is. The maps should be random.

i believe they can be changed but from what i see the map is the only thing that may need to be changed...
i suggest
Full Random - (Arabia, Archipelago, Baltic, Coastal, Continental, Ghost Lake, Highland, Islands, Mediterranian, Migration, Mongolia, Oasis, Rivers, Scandinavia, Team Islands, Yucatan)

A few more things still need to be sorted out.
1.) how will we set up the games?
2.) single games or best 2/3?

Setting of the games would probably be via Hamachi. that would seem the best way, in my opinion.
