With the new release it is time to start thinking about organizing the cooperative leagues. In my opinion it would be nice to have a cooperative league for the World scenarios only, which could be part a of a bigger cooperative league.

For that purpose I will be be creating a small league based on the World scenarios (which so far are 7, but planned to be 12). As in the CR league each of the scenarios will have a base score and a time-dependent score. Hence, the faster you finish a scenario, the better your score will be. For now we keep the CR scoring style, but in the future I would like test an alternative where 50% of the base score is always awarded and the other 50% is a percentage of how far away from the best time you are. This should incentivize also the first team to improve its time. The score will then be something like:

score = basescore * (50 + 50 * best_time / your_time) / 100

Since all of the worlds come with different difficulty and map size settings, having 12 of them would allow for 12 * 9 = 108 different rounds, which is way too many. So for each of the worlds predefined settings for the league will be taken, these can't be changed by the player if league is active. Also, as we are used to each, of the rounds can be played by a maximum number of players. Below I summarize the settings per round, which I will adapt accordingly as things might change in the future.

Cooperative Worlds League

========================================================
Scenario       | Score | Players | Difficulty | Map Size
========================================================
Gold Rush      |  100  |    2    |   Normal   |   Small 
Iron Peak      |  100  |    2    |   Normal   |   Small 
Flooded Veins  |  150  |    3    |   Insane   |   Small
Chine          |  150  |    3    |    Hard    |   Small
Krakatoa       |  150  |    4    |    Hard    |   Small
Acid Rift      |  150  |    4    |    Hard    |   Small
Gem Grabbers   |  200  |    4    |    Hard    |   Small
Acid Gold Mine |  250  |    4    |     N/A    |    N/A
========================================================


The Worlds League is active and can be played and most of all tested here.

Note: Krakatoa and Acid Gold Mine will still change, moreover Acid Rift still needs to be added to the league. So on every new release the scenarios which have changed drastically will be reset and you loose your points.

The Worlds league is now open and can be found here.

Krakatoa is not yet active, but will be in the next release (maybe).

Would be nice if someone can upload the attached images to league.openclonk.org/images/icons/
