Hi!
Is there any interest in a more serious Highlander tournament/series? Any ideas for the format?

If mikade doesn't do it, I'd like to look into making highlander use the weapons enabled in the selected ammo, for more customisation.
I suspect a highlander tournament would require more rounds to declare a winner, and possibly a more restricted weapon set, both to try and control the high luck element.
The Specialists has basically no luck element apart from wind direction

I'd like to play a HL tournament too!
Some time ago I made two HL-Scripts for my own. A friend an me often play with them: "Heavy Highlander" and "Highlander Balanced". Maybe they are usefull for a tournament.
In both scripts is less luck given:
Heavy Highlander: only strong weps, new utilities (vampirism, timebox etc), no kamikaze.
You can't have bad luck with weapons, cause nearly everything you get is usefull.
Highlander Balanced: weak & strong things taken out, some reduced in strength.
You nearly can't kill directly (except kicking into water) with one weapon.
I'll upload and explain more when I got home from work.
.
(Nemo: There are many sports and competitions in the world where luck is a factor. Sometimes more, sometimes less. I think everyone knows and accepts this.
And people are pleased if they can say "I had bad luck" - and not to confess their bad performance... )
I'm also interested play a HL tournament.
Whatever. HL, HL 0.2, Heavy HL, HL balanced...
But I would cancel vampirism from Heavy HL coz sometimes we had hogs with 400 hp or more.

Ok, here are the edited scripts: Download
(Don't wonder about the file name "Sinewars", there's a third script included: http://www.hedgewars.org/node/3996)
