New FA - top results on the EN worlds

[BlueBlou]

FA - Jan 2023

Hall of fame : Top 25

Changes this time was a totally new map series with far more badges required than previously. Brew badge requirements dropped down from the usual 50 to just 25. Coin badges became slightly easier, barely noticeable, and still one of the tough ones to get. This FA did start on a Thursday ending on a Wednesday and therefor covered 2 tournaments and 2 spires.

Congratulations to every team who did a personal best!

Any discussions to be done on the other FA thread please.

So this a mix of the top scoring FS's in the FA across all EN worlds, right? Because I see some familiar names from EN1 Arendyll, but also a lot of FS names I don't recognise

Anyway, as impressive as the scores may seem, I am most impressed by regular FS's scoring high despite not having swapped fellows for FA-specialised cities

No changes this time from the previous FA.

Congrats to all groups who got personal bests, be it position or score.

The brewer badges were back to x25 requirement. Also the first FA after the Inno leveling up of veteran low chapter cities.

Congrats to all who achieved their goals!!

FA - Nov 2023

Hall of fame : Top 25

We had a bit of a longer break between FAs. One of the teams decided to rock it out of this world and go for an all server record. Well done and congrats! Congrats also to all other teams achieving a personal best.

FA - Apr 2024

Hall of fame : Top 25

Well done to everyone who achieved their targets! This was the first FA after the change in upgrade requirements for AWs and looking back, the range of the top 25 seems to be the same, so these teams were able to mitigate the constraints.

Would be interesting to see some other stats for each fellowship so you can guage just how well they have performed. After all if these are all 'whale' fellowships then you would expect them to have the city space available to devote to an FA.

Maybe:
Ranking Points and Position in their World.

A while back our fellowship went all out and made the top 10 in Arendyll (7th if memory serves) even though we were (probably) still in the 100+ zone.

For the April 2024 FA the only thing we struggled with was the Arcane Residue badges. We were all in that Ark though...

The biggest FA performers are never the biggest fellowships by ranking points. In order to compete at the top of FAs a team will need several very small cities that can produce badges such as bracelets much more easily. In the past I had a chapter 4 city on a grid of 5 by 4 squares, and personally produced 2,000 bracelets in one FA. That's quite an extreme example, but you see the point. You need these kinds of cities so that those with the biggest footprints can produce hundreds of production badges. In fact some teams will have small cities ready to bring in for an FA.

In the more general sense, those "whale" fellowships, measured by ranking points are generally packed with cities that are bloated with armouries and very inefficient. They can accomplish things to a degree, but will rarely excel in any other way that you might measure a FS in.

bloated with armouries

Me not bloated. I just have big bones.

Some usual names and definitely a few I have not seen before. Congrats and well done! Hope you all had a great time.
Tough competition on Arendyll.

Some good scores on Arendyll and Felyndral worlds, but the drama for the top spots happened on Winyamdor. Nailbiting till the end. Well done to all!

FA - Nov 2024

Hall of fame : Top 25

This time we had a new badge related to gaining spell fragments in the place of the marbles badge. Due to the number of fragments one can get from the spire, this was a very abundant badge.

Well done to all teams who had a team personal best. We also see a new best score for the EN server. Well done guys!

FA - Jan 2025

Hall of fame : Top 25

Somehow a lot of teams were caught out in not expecting the FA to start when it did. Fragment requirements were increased, but still not too difficult a badge.

Congratulations to all who achieved what they would have liked to achieve!

I would like to see the tables separate for each world and the total points score of the fellowship listed against each.
I think that would clearly show that this is a contest for the larger fellowships to indulge in as this event lacks any incentive for the members of the also-rans to take part. Top 100 virtually gives nothing as a reward foe 7 days slog.

 

[Pauly7]

It is not a competition for the larger fellowships at all. The biggest fellowships are not efficient for much except having a lot of points. The best FA fellowships have a mix of different sized cities and most of the top performers are not in the top 50 FSs as measured by ranking points.

It is, however, a competition only between those teams who are willing to give all for this competition. And I mean ALL. They will completely tear down their cities and use all available resources including diamonds (and maybe cash money)... if they want to compete at the top.

I prefer the not-so-fanatical approach.

(In fact, I insist.)
