Idea: Gnomoria team vs team comp

Idea: Team vs Team competition

Type: Team task completion race
Objective: Finish a set amount of (ordered) tasks (10). Tasks are same for all the teams.
Win condition: Shortest (synchronized team) time for completing all tasks

Tasks are in 3 categories: Easy, Advanced, Hard
Example of easy task: Collect set amount of Tier1 resources
Example of advanced task: Craft set amount of Tier2 resources
Example of hard task: Have a set amount of Golem/Automata population
Each category has a set of predefined task (the more the better)
Before comp, set amount of tasks (10) are randomly drawn, trying to have equal amount of tasks from each category
Example selection of tasks: 3 from Easy, 4 from Advanced, 3 from Hard
Tasks are ordered, Easy category first, Advanced second, Hard third
It is permissible to work on any tasks, but tasks completion conditions are evaluated in the task order given
All tasks are revealed at the same time to everyone, provided that the "reveal" condition has been met

The time tracking is done by in-game days
Every calculation and data processing (ie task completion condition evaluation) is done on the same in-game day
Per team processing is done when every team member has submitted its data for the given day

Collect teams, register each team member
Define real-life timeframe (1 month)
Define start time and end time
Define task reveal condition
Proposed reveal condition: all tasks are revealed for everyone in case every team has 2 of the 5 members survived the first winter
Proposed alternative reveal condition: tasks are revealed for a team that has 2 of the 5 members survived the first winter
3 of the 5 can wait for task reveal (to specialize) or can start right away
New game settings are not bound (any configuration is accepted)
Vanilla game only: no mods
After start, accept incoming data
Incoming data is daily status of a settlement
Each team member sends (in-game) daily status from which general stats and task completion conditions are computed
Team data is processed, when each member has sent data for the given in-game days
Task completion is computed and validated in the order of the tasks
When end time has been reached, no data is accepted anymore
If a team member is missing data for a day and not all tasks are fulfilled, the data is filled from the last known good state
Data is processed until all tasks are completed or until the latest in-game date available for the team.

Getting daily in-game data
- Can be a mod + web server setup
- Mod sends (reduced) data on sunrise
- Need to ID the player, unique key/token
- Register player to comp (on server), get key, add key to mod and start game
Player sends data for different save-games
- Need to (unique) ID the game ?
- Have an in-game start where the comp ID is asked and tied this to the current savegame ?
