hey tomi, tibilicus wants to apologise for missing the match, apparently he was knackered so hes hit the sack.

[Tomisama]

Thanks Wish

Yes, he sent me a private message earlier that he might not be able to make it.

I still hung around for a couple of hours, just in case.

While I was hanging out, I did get a chance to learn more about RTR, and got it downloaded and installed. Wow! There are many great mods for Rome, but Realism may just be the best.

I understand you have a ladder set up. Could you give a link directly to that?

And if anyone reading does not know about Rome: Total Realism, check this out:

I would venture to say, although I don’t think it’s finished yet, that RTR is quite possibly the game that you always thought RTW should have been!

Go see for yourself

[Lord Preston]

off topic but RTR 6 is to be released sometime this month, it is scheduled for mid-june but depends on testing results to if it needs changes before release.

this is more of a hardcore version. i think RTW was made for the masses, nothing wrong with that, it is still a good game. they needed to attract as many people as possible to there game but RTR is deffinitly the game that us "hardcore" Total War players wanted.

[tibilicus]

Yep as wishazu said im sorry i couldn't make it. would saturday time be good for you? sundays are now a lot more busy than my saterdats.

[Wishazu]

Nihilist has set up a rtr ladder for rome. i can assure you its much better than rtw, much, much better

[NihilisticCow]

Yes, but the ladder isn't really active yet (I haven't told anyone outside the clan).... I suppose there's no reason why we couldn't start on it though... It's located here

The reason I was holding off was that I have doubts about the balance between factions as it is designed for single player not multi player, so was thinking of waiting for the next major release and having a proper start at it then.

[Wishazu]

whatever you think is best mate.

[Imorthorn]

tuesday 7th june 7pm gmt

[Wishazu]

Most Honoable Tibilicus,

Please remember I am 6 hours behind your time.



P.S. Codies, we have received the “all clear” from ezboard.

Tibilicus ~

[Tomisama]

I was waiting for a pm from you

[tibilicus]

[tibilicus]

Well played Tomi good game. Sorry i couldnt talk at the end my computer just crashed. I couldnt exit the battle it wouldnt let me ! lol. Any way I forgot to put on scored resolution at start for battle options but I saved the replay and wrote down the results. Once againg good game.

[Tomisama]

Good Games

[tibilicus]

Im confused So first battle you wun then second i wun. And who got overall more kills? Sorry to add to the confusion also i would post defensive stats. Infact i will do for are most resent battle:

Tibilicus_CoH: Men deployed Kills menremaning

976=men deployed 964=kills 886=menremaning

Tomisama_CoH: Men deployed Kills menremaning

1101=men deployed 102=kills 135=menremaning


Could you post the other game like that? That way its easier to understand. Well for me, but hey im just stupid lol.

Once again both good games and hope to play more games with you in the future as your one of the good players out there
Thanks
Tibilicus
Keep the Code



Edit:
p.s are game was not played a week from now lol. I think you have the dates wrong anyway good game once again.

[Wishazu]

yeah i think the date of the second result in the post is wrong :)

[Tomisama]

Sorry about the dates (both were wrong). Fixed That!

The first Battle Scores as you requested.

Tomisama_CoH: Men deployed Kills menremaning

976=men deployed 995=kills 612=menremaning

Tibilicus_CoH: Men deployed Kills menremaning

1101=men deployed 406=kills 92=menremaning


The reason I posted in the Kills and Total Kills format is because those are the categories of the Contest.

http://p067.ezboard.com/fsamuraiclanwars3295frm8

VII. The Categories for each HBC Challenge will be, Highest Point Score for each Faction, and Highest Point Score (for each Faction) in the Highest Point Battle.

There are Four High Point Categories.

So far of the 2 Battles turned in:

Tomisama_CoH vs. [LeoHonouris]Tibilicus_CoH

Sunday June 5 2005
Tomisama_CoH as Seleucids - Kills: 995
Tibilicus_CoH as SPQR - Kills: 406
Total Kills 1401

Saturday June 11 2005
Tibilicus_CoH as Seleucids - Kills: 964
Tomisama_CoH as SPQR - Kills: 102
Total Kills 1066

The Highest Point Score for each Faction are both from the first Battle.

Seleucids - Kills: 995 - Tomisama_CoH
SPQR - Kills: 406 - Tibilicus_CoH

And the Highest Point Battle is also the first Battle, with those Highest Point Scores.

Total Kills 1401
Seleucids - Kills: 995 - Tomisama_CoH
SPQR - Kills: 406 - Tibilicus_CoH

Please note that the Categories will not always necessarily be the same between Highest Point Score for each Faction, and Highest Point Score for each Faction in the Highest Point Battle. It just worked out that way this time.

It is quite possible to have a Highest Point Score for either Faction in the Highest Point Battle, that is not the Highest Point Score for that Faction overall.

The Scores for the balance of the Competitors to beat now are:

1. Seleucids - Kills: 995
2. SPQR - Kills: 406
3. Total Kills 1401 with Seleucids - Kills: 995
4. Total Kills 1401 with SPQR - Kills: 406

Until that is done, we are the High Point leaders.

(There was a post on the Ezboard forum that explained the Total Kills thing, but it was lost when Ezboard was hacked )

You are a very good player Tibilicus, really better than me
Salute!

[Imorthorn]
