Since this Is a Tourney for July I'll be able to play on here as my internet upload speed will be improved then. I'll play as Saba because I want to try something other then Barbarian and Phalanx

Read my thread and/or lips: You may play any size battle you wish as long as each Team has equal amount of players.
Or you can always fetch ParallelPain and ask for advice, but he's long gone.
EDIT: Don't forget. The "Mercy Rule" for Saba states that Saba has no army composition limits whatsoever. The only limit is the upgrade limit: 1 chevron per unit. The faction is a difficult one to play as in multiplayer battles and players electing to use Saba are respected and admired for their choice.

Yeah I plan on playing as Saba because I'm not in it to win it, I just wanna try something I'm not used too. I'm playing a campaign at the moment so I'm kinda liking them right now. Oh and I got a few questions. When you say the only limit of one chevron per unit, are you saying only one Bronze? or does that mean one silver or one gold too? Also does that have any bearing on the weapon and defense upgrades? Finally, Does the Tourney start at any specific time and play according to some schedule or chart, or is it jsut start sometime in July and play at our leisure? Thanks for anyhelp, I know I ask some probably noobish qusetions but Its my first time doing this so I'm not quite sure about everything.
You aren't sure yet, so I'll help you get there. It ain't too far anyway. So here's the deal: When anybody tells you one-chev, it means 1 bronze, period. No upgrades means no attack upgrades no defence upgrades. You don't get access to magical blacksmiths, sorry. When does the July tournament start? Let me check my calendar. It starts...July 1st, and ends on...July 31st. And that's pretty much your 1st and 31st, as I know we can be straddling two days on this planet. Good luck with Saba by the way. At least you don't have army composition limits. Mercy rule. Good thing munky didn't call it the pity rule. That would be flat out unethical.
EDIT: We really need your help guys. Someone knowledgeable in the respective faction should reply with a list of the factional units for Pahlava and/or Sauromatae as per the EB website and place -H markers next to the cavalry units that should be considered heavy, whether for historical reasons or simply because they have heavy in their names. This would be much appreciated and is direly needed before the month starts. Note: Do not place -H beside those units that are specifically named "horse archer" because these are automatically considered medium cavalry (and consequently are excluded form the heavy cavalry limitation rule).

Ahh. I have decided that I would like to revoke my placement as Saba. I have decided that since this will be my first Tourney or competitive play of anykind, I should start off by playing something I'm more familiar with. So if its not too late, as the Tourney hasn't started, I would like to play as Lusotanna. Now If I am playing as Lusotanna, am I required to play a Civilized army list or can I play a Steppe army list or is that a requirment...again I am not sure. I want to run a Cantabrian army and thus mostly skirmisher cavalry and a few supporting infantry. Thanks anyway if you can't change it, I understand I jsut wasn't sure if it was too late or not.
July hasn't arrived yet so I don't see why you can't change.
From the original thread one year ago. Those were the nations that were determined to be allowed the "steppe rule" composition. If Lusos--peoples I don't have much knowledge about--did use steppe armies in the past, I don't see why they shouldn't be a part of the steppe-able factions, if you will.Steppe Rules can only be used by Steppe Factions and those who (mostly) border Steppe Factions, these factions can use those rules:
-Pahlava
-Saka
-Sauromatae
-Hayasdan
-Getai
-Baktria
P.S. Looks like we're going to need not only a Pahlava and Sauro list, but now also a Luso list. Someone join as Epeiros and make our lives that much more enjoyable, haha. Hope someone has a certainty on which cav from these nations are heavy because I haven't the time/energy for this determination.

Well I don't think it would be the Lusos, specificcally that had a steppe type army. I think it would really only be something regional like the Cantabrians. But you would like a factional list for Lusotanna?
If you've noticed the Special Community Call for Help it asks for volunteers from the community who are able to identify the heavy cavalry units in the factional unit lists for the four unlisted factions Epeiros Lusotannan Pahlava and Sauromatae. Some units may be called Heavy Cavalry in their titles, and those are clearly Heavy. If it is a Horse Archer it is automatically medium (unless someone wishes to object to this; it's been standard so far). So if it ain't called heavy cav and it ain't a horse archer but it is in the faction's list of units on the EB website please tell me why it's heavy cav (maybe it's in the description or something else) and I can myself make the list with the -H markers. It becomes a reference for those making their armies.

Epeiros is hard to play. Their cav despite being some of the best in the game die like flies to arrows and their armies are generally slightly more expensive than Macs. :(
Takes lots of skills.
Also Saba > KH lol. PAIN...
Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

If you are skilled with cavalry, u should take Sauromatae or Pahlava...
The cav are more cheap than others (indeed, take out Pahlavan Late Elite Cataphracts) .
If u are skilled with infantry: Romani or West Barbarian.
If u are skilled with all: Bactria or Seleucid or Ptolemaioi.
But I think KH isn't so bad.

If it's ok, I would like to switch to Arche Seleukeia from Sweboz for my faction. Sweboz is simply too specialized for the range of enemies I'll be fighting (especially Sauromatae and friends).

Hi guys I'd like to join this tournament with the AEDUI ;)

Fix resetting of specialty units and stats for Shogun II, still not able to, hmmmm.

Thanks again Apaz for collaborating today. We're done with the factional unit lists. There are 19 because Saba is unrestricted. Doesn't necessarily make them IMBA, just skirmishable and annoying on 36k. Get missiles.
