A new fortress tournament is going to take place at the 29th and 30th March. Teams of four (and one substitute) will play against each other. The default fortress settings will be used (old score settings). I’m pretty sure I’m going to play, although I don’t like the times, especially the final is too late for my taste. More information can be found at the official website.

Armagetron Advanced is a multiplayer game in 3D that attempts to emulate and expand on the light cycle sequence from the movie Tron.
Armagetron Advanced is available for Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, Linux and OpenBSD. Released under version 2 of the GNU General Public License, Armagetron Advanced is free software.
Playing the game
Two or more players are represented by dual-wheeled motor vehicles, or cycles, in a grid-lined arena. The vehicles constantly move forward, although there is a way to change one's velocity: the closer a player is to a wall, the faster their cycle will move. Players can change the direction of movement, by turning 90 degrees to the left or right. The vehicles leave a colored wall behind them as they travel. Contact with this wall will result in death and elimination from the battle. Therefore, players attempt to "box" each other in within these walls in order to force the opponent to touch their wall.
Game settings
Armagetron Advanced allows for a high level of configuration, however these settings are most common:
Points are given for core dumping an opponent. A core dump implies that the enemy has touched your wall. Points are also given for being the last player in the arena.
The cycle will accelerate if it is being driven closer to the trails.
A player wins the match when he surpasses a set score limit, the maximum number of rounds is surpassed, or a time limit is reached.
Game modes
Several game modes exist:
Death Match: Last man standing.
Team Death Match: Cooperate with teammates.
Fortress: Capture the enemy base. This game can be played with teams or death match style.
Sumo: The object is to stay in a zone while trying to force the opponent out.
Race: Race to the win zone at the end of the map.
Maze: Find a path to the win zone.
Pig Sty:
Shooting: A team death match where the object is to try to shoot the other team's players with death zones.
Ball: A team match where the object is to score a goal by pushing the ball zone into the goal zone.
Capture the Flag: Capture the opponents' flag And players respawn once they have died.
Capture The Flag Shooting: Capture the opponents' flag while shooting and player respawn once they have died.
Online
Armagetron Advanced has a large and lively online community. There are numerious servers available, some only to those with particular versions of the Armagetronad client. Online gameplay offers people from around the world to play and talk.
The Armagetron Advance client can be used to host servers for internet play and LAN. However, 'dedicated servers' are more popular for internet servers.
Clans
Like many online games Armagetron Advanced has many clans. Typically, clan membership would require you to wear a clan tag and to take part in clan wars and other events. Clans normally have websites featuring competitive statistics and a forum for members and guests to discuss the game and organise events.
Clans can vary widely in styles and gameplay. Some clans are 'elitist' and only recruit players that have a suitable playing ability. Others can be community based, which focus on the unity and friendship of its clan members. Other clans are just on the game, meanings that you never actully met the person, they are just a member in the game.To join a clan, see a clan leader or recruiter of that clan.
