I've been asked to help choose a template for the next seasonal ladder. Fizzer wants to ensure that the community's opinion is considered.

I've formed a template panel. After some discussion, we have decided to do this in three phases.
Phase 1 - The community can nominate templates for the seasonal.
Phase 2 - The template panel will prune the submissions down to a small number.
Phase 3 - Anyone who has completed all 20 games in any one of the last 6 seasonals(Season XXVI onwards) will be allowed to vote(no alts). We will resolve votes using the Dowdall system- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borda_count#Dowdall_system_(Nauru)

Please consider the following while submitting templates(phase 1):

• Quality of template
  
• Finish in a reasonable amount of time
  
• Diversity of settings (WR/SR, MA, fog levels, armies per territory, income cap etc.)
  
• Diversity of maps
  
• Diversity across seasons (i.e. don't repeat previous seasons)

Deadlines
Phase 1 - 13th April, 2018
Phase 2 - 16th April, 2018
Phase 3 - 21st April, 2018

This is our chance to pick a great template for Season XXXII. I hope everyone participates in this process and we can have a good season! Please nominate templates on this thread by providing a link to a finished game with the exact settings.

Georgia Army Cap

How about our very first diplomacy Seasonal? There's a lot of players that don't participate in the Seasonal since it's always been strategy-only- why not include them just this one time?

I propose this template: https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=5579450 (23 turns)

Decent quality, finishes reasonably quicky, and should score more diversity points than any other template anyone's ever proposed for a seasonal.

Snow Mountains MA

Fast Earth:

@knyte - and how would you enforce all those rules from game description?

MA battle islands V

https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=15362717

Autogame on map of the week from randomly chosen week. Can not give an example.

Then please don't comment for nothing?
Kong Island
https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=15180124

@Nack

I don't think he's posting for nothing, I think he's talking about the idea of doing randomized 4 player FFA's on random map of the week winners which is a valid suggestion.

Titanomakhia

Great Lakes 3x7
