RTS-League: Clan Leagues for Strategy Gamers

The year is almost at its end with the last two weeks of the 2015 calendar, but once we turn over the last leaf, we're not going to see just the new "January" and "2016" designations on the next page, but also one a lot more important than the rest - Season 38 of RTS League's Age of Empires II: The Conquerors Clan League. It's time. It's time again to test your skills and see if Lords of Skulls, the reigning Champions, are still the best clan in the whole of AoC, or if there is someone else better suited to fill that role, to bear that eternal honour. Is maybe your clan the one we're looking for?

No matter if you're aiming for the top spots or you're "just" interested in having the best team game fun around, RTS League is the place to be with its time-proven format ideal for everyone looking to have some competitive entertainment in a well-organised, yet still very friendly environment - RTS League knows no bounds and is open to players of all skill levels and platforms to try their hand at clan wars with meaning that are used to gauge clans' position in the community already since 2001.

Ready to give it a go then and be a part of the battle for the prestigious title of RTS League Champions, the best clan in the whole of Age of Empires II community? Then gather your clan mates and sign up!

--------------------

To take part in Season 38 and have a chance at the fun (and the Banners ), your clan will need to fit a few conditions to ensure you would be a positive contribution to the League.

First you will need a Clan Operator - the guy/gal representing you in the competition, scheduling your matches with the opponents and communicating with League staffers on your behalf. This person should be reliable, responsible and available regularly, every day if at all possible. Proper and timely communication is the key here. You can, of course, have more than 1 Clan Operator to cover for each other

Then you must have at least 6 active players ready to participate - this is to ensure you are able to complete your matches regularly even if some of your heroes happen to be temporarily unavailable.

Further you need to be familiar with the League rules. Read them carefully. The only slight novelty for this season is the ability to choose the Nations Cup II maps as home maps if both clans agree.

And when you've checked all these points and you're ready to join, then again make sure that your clan meets the criteria listed above and within the rules and simply post the following sign-up form (if you're new and need an account first, follow the instructions up top under the menu and we'll get it done). Returning clans need just to confirm the participation (and re-read the rules, just in case).

Clan Tag:
Clan Name:
Clan Website:
Number of Members:
Clan Operator Nickname and Contact:
Clan Leader Nickname and Contact:
Clan Operator has read the rules and agrees to them:

Please sign your clan up only if you seriously want to take part in the League, do not sign up inactive clans or clans with too few players to actually meaningfully compete. Clans that drop out during the season will be excluded from the next one/s.

Sign-ups will be closed on Friday 1st January, Season 38 will start the following week.

If you have any further questions, feel free to contact our AoC staff members or any other staffers.

Looking forward to having you in the League, and spread the word - the more clans, the more fun for everyone!
