EBOT 2012 June

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

A faction can be picked multiple times by different players. They just won't be able to play each other. So 4 players can select Rome, that is fine. They just have to play against everyone else. In June 2011 both me and LMT played as Baktria for example.

Im SPQR for team battles :D

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

Wrong topic but nvm, I'll pencil you in.

[lmt96]

OK I'll pick Getai for this tournament.
:)

[antisocialmunky]

I'll Play Gaul.

[Lazy O]

This is not vanilla .

[General War]

Hi, I'd love to play. I'm a total noob, so please have patience with me. I'll probably play with Baktria.
I've been meaning to play on-line for ages and joining a tournie seems the best way to do it. Nothing beats throwing yourself in the deep end.

Hi General! :D Welcome to this ultra exclusive community that EBO is. We hope You will have great time ;D I advice you to watch some of our games on youtube like this one for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psJV...9&feature=plcp - (beginning in MP battles usuually suck)

[General War]

Thank you vartan for allowing an unknown(ie, me) into your club. and thank you cyris for your warm welcome. ;)
I guess I should introduce myself. I've fell in love with RTW back when it first came out, and still haven't found a game I like more. Might have to do with my interests in ancient history, also might have to do with playing ancient miniature wargames when i was a teenager. Or more than likely both. EB was the first mod I tried, and I keep coming back to it. The only problem I have now, is that I'm bored playing again the AI. So, time for some real games.
I just had my very first online game of eb/rtw tonight, and i must say this rocks! I look forward to meeting all of you in combat. I just need to work out a legal army composition...with maybe one or two variants.
The first miniature army I ever owned were Ancient Indians. I still miss the 4-horse, 6 crewed chariots...

Just want everyone to know that this is in jest. The community is actually inclusive. That's why we have a forum-wide announcement asking all to join. We're very welcoming. Why wouldn't we be?

Haha. The "I'll allow it line" is just a joke on my part. I'm glad you'll be playing with us. It's always good to see new faces. I pretty much have the same background as you, anyway. So, good luck and have fun.

[capomafioso]

id like to lock in AS please

Don't worry, I've got a very thick skin and I always assume people's comments are friendly banter until proven otherwise. I look forward to having my arse handed to me.

Corrected. Good luck.

EDIT: Just probing your bounds, don't worry.

Atlast someone to take my place at the kiddy table :p

[General War]

Hi Guys. I'm a bit lost with army compositions. For example, 5 Cavalry Max. Does that mean 5 Cavalry of any type? So if I have 4 HA, does that mean I can only have 1 more Cav unit? Is there a better explanation of army compositions than http://ebportal.tk/wp/legacy-rules-pre-3-0/
What might help is a couple examples...
Thanks.

[Arjos]

All those rules are pre 3.0 EDU, now it's all about mnai:

2 units max for more than 2.500
4 units max for 1.850 - 2.500
8 units max for 1.000 - 1.850
Any amount for less than 1.000

Only exceptions so far are: Reidonez (Germanic Light Cavalry): 4 and Rauxsa-alanna Baexdzhyntae (Roxolani Riders): 4

◦Mercenary limit of 6

◦Exceptions
◦Marian and Imperial Rome: 8
◦Carthage: 14
◦Sauromatae: 10 (maximum 4 Greek and 4 Germanic, excluding Bastarnae Falx Infantry)

◦SPQR (Rome) must pick one era from which to choose its factional units
◦The only upgrade allowed is one bronze experience (chevron)

These are the only rules related to the army composition :)

[Lazy O]

We do not use those rules any more, our rules are mercenary limits and unit duplication limits, as in, in a certain price range you are limited to a certain number of selected unit.

When you say 2 units max for more than 2.500 , you mean you can only have 2 units of the same name, correct? Just to make that clear cuz for the first couple of weeks i thought something completely different.

[Arjos]

Yeah same unit, not cost in overall, you can have as many units above 2.500 mnai as you like, just not more than two for each...

[Yavana]

Don't worry. You have that guaranteed. For life.

[-Stormrage-]

we'll see about that.

Hop in 2 hamachi we need 1 more for a 2v2

[Yavana]

No can do. Im studing for my final exam and preparing for my dissertation (finally ending collage;D). So im just checking the forum, eager to play with all of You. cant wait:D

[antisocialmunky]

Yeah, the new unit rules makes it so factions with more than one type of a certain unit specialize in that type of unit.

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

Here are the factional unit lists. http://ebportal.tk/wp/factional-units/

Use the tab at the bottom to select what faction you wish to look at. Keep in mind what units are factional when selecting armies.

Btw, it sounds far more confusing than it actually is.

[vartan]

All that's left is an Android/iOS app and we're good to go.

[Lazy O]

Someone please explain how the ladder works ...

[The Celtic Viking]

There's a link to a tutorial in the OP.
