Brave Brave Sir Robin
05-13-2012, 19:44
This tourney is shaping up a lot like June 2011 with Lazy and Saka and Kival with Aedui :p

Should I take Baktria again? Nah. I'm in of course but undeclared atm.

Oh and to answer Cyris/Yavana's question (btw good to see you back buddy) cataphracts no longer have fear and I'd say most factions are currently balanced with the possible exception of Sweboz, maybe Lusos. Not counting Saba obviously.

Arjos
05-13-2012, 20:33
Very interested if this can be turned into a team tourny, otherwise expect a Saba generous entry, giving free victories to generous offers (catch my drift? XD)...

Unless I sober up and join for real :P

From how I understand it you don't need Steam, you can make the challenges in the Ladder on the forum. Score is then entered into it manually (with required confirmation from the other party).

Brave Brave Sir Robin
05-15-2012, 19:21
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.

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=psJVt_sYZCA&list=UUAjBSsP3PjA8qwBAevgTIKw&index=9&feature=plcp - (beginning in MP battles usuually suck)

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...

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
05-18-2012, 08:33
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
05-18-2012, 08:35
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
05-18-2012, 09:07
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...

Serpent, who is Ulysses, a friend of yours?

As for the ladder, you can't really join until it begins. That's just how it's programmed, don't mind it. It's just a technicality. I still keep track of progress manually. That's a thing I'm trying out this time around. When you eventually click to join when it opens, it should be self-explanatory how to make a game, indicate the result, have your opponent verify it, and then put a link to the replay download in the comment section of that particular game.

Agree. I would say better: each opponent can not face an opponent who has won 2 times against him (like a 2 out of 3 system). This is for moral and ladder - balancing reasons. As I'm kind of making harakiri with Sweboz, I'm thinking it would be rather reasonable not to face HA factions more than 1 time.

Such a rule would be intrinsically redundant and unnecessary. Lazy put it very well, albeit colloquially:

I'm in! ...Only for the fun though - and to get beaten ;) Don't expect me putting up a decent fight.

Btw, I haven't decided on a faction yet. But for the time being put my down for the Getai (not sure yet, though).

Some questions:
- Where do I get the final EDU that's used for the tournament? Here?: http://ebportal.tk/wp/getting-started/
- Till when do I have to chose my faction, and where do I announce it? Here? Or can I fight my first battle in EB Online and then post the faction I used here?
- What name do I have to use in Hamachi?

You should announce your faction here but actually your first battle in tournament definitely defines your faction. I'd advise some friendly battles before though. Join us anytime in hamachi. At the moment you could get lucky most the time to find someone to play.


- What name do I have to use in Hamachi?

Theoretially everyone you want but preferable would be your org-name. At least I would prefer it ;-).

Haha, yeah, it's all for the fun and for the glory. Welcome aboard!


- Where do I get the final EDU that's used for the tournament? Here?: http://ebportal.tk/wp/getting-started/

As far as I can see that page hasn't been updated yet. Get the latest EDU from here (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?141352-Long-Overdue-3-3). It is not sure that we'll be playing this tournament with it, though, depending on if GG2 can get the next version out in time. The OP will be updated with specification on which EDU that we'll actually use when the tournament starts, but for now just go with 3.3 and get used to MP battles in friendlies. Experience is invaluable.


- Till when do I have to chose my faction, and where do I announce it? Here? Or can I fight my first battle in EB Online and then post the faction I used here?

You can always switch faction until you've played your first tournament match, and you announce it in this thread. You can fight as many friendlies as you want as any faction you want without any consequences as far as this tournament is concerned.


- What name do I have to use in Hamachi?

Hamachi name doesn't matter at all, what matters for tournament games is clarity about your in-game name. The best choice is to just use the same nick as you have here on the forum as it'll be easier for Vartan/the judges, but it's okay to use another if you are clear about it here.

I do believe that every unit the Saba have access to is factional for them. So don't worry about those rules, just pick an army according to the price limits and you'll be fine. And I'll be sure to take lots of skirmishers when I face you. :D

If you are like me and have EB installed in Program Files on Windows 7, its entirely possible that there is no replays folder and that you have to create one yourself. However, whenever you save a replay, it won't go to this folder but instead languishes somewhere else. Save it as something easy to remember (i.e. BlxzCapo1) and then search for it on your C drive. Its annoying for me but the only way I can find the stupid things without a complete reinstallation.

Also, the winner should be posting these as Storm did, so Capo and gamegeek need to upload the replays. I believe Capo should have 2 actually.

I was just in our Hamachi chat room talking to some of our fellow players and there was confusion as to where I am looking to find the respective links to each battle's replay. I've come to a conclusion on the matter. Throughout the month, as you play your battles, continue doing what we've done in past tournaments. That is, every time you win a tournament battle, come to this thread and make a reply post saying who your opponent was, and put a link to the replay download. Still, make sure you post the battle on the ladder.

About the ladder... I have decided to make it an all-time ladder, and here's why. I still keep a complex spreadsheet detailing the battles between all players for each tournament month throughout the years. This has served me well, certainly. But the ladder is redundant if that is the only reason why I am using it. Therefore, I have decided to use the ladder for the one feature it has that my spreadsheet does not: ELO ratings. These ratings are also used in other competitions (most famously in international chess). I think over time, as they become more accurate with more data points (i.e., battles), they give the players a rough idea of where they stand among their peers, and how they improve over time. This is why I want you all to continue entering your tournament battles on the ladder. Please do not enter non-tournament battles. I advise you not to put the replay on the now all-time ladder for one reason: replays are tied to EDU versions; replays can only accurately play back if they are played on their respective EDUs; as such, I will remove any links currently in the comments sections of the ladder so people don't accidentally view them in the future using a newer EDU.

I am sorry for any inconvenience this has caused on our first humble day of this tournament. Thanks for bearing with me, I appreciate it. Keep on gaming and I hope you all have fun. Good luck.

06-01-2012, 20:48
To eliminate current confusion and future replay issues, do not post replays on the ladder.

EDIT #1: If you posted a replay on the ladder but not here, please edit your post to reflect the replay.

EDIT #2: If you play against the same opponent more than once, please enter those battles in individually on the ladder. Do not enter in one challenge that says Player A won twice, Player B won once (2-1), because the ladder is acting as if Player A gets +1 to his wins as he won a "best of 3" match. We don't want this. We want individual victories to be counted. I'll try and separate any current ones like this (after I start the spreadsheet). From now on make them individual.

Major Announcement
Listen up everyone. I have an important announcement to make. As you may have noticed, I edited the OP of this thread with a change to the Replays section. For this month's replays, both those you've already played today and those you will play from now on, please (re-)upload those replays to the upload form found here (http://ebportal.tk/ebo/upload/upload.html). Please please please (!!!) follow the directions found on that page. It is very crucial that you do so in order to avoid overwriting old files, or worse, uploading duplicate replays of a single battle. If you have any questions, please ask me with a reply before uploading.

For all the games you've already played this first day of the tournament, please upload those here. I think this will not only make it easier for me, but also for you. If there are any problems with the upload form, please let me know. Thank you and I hope this is a plus for all of us.

vartan
06-02-2012, 08:40
Here's the deal: you may do what you like with these replays. What I humbly ask is that you please upload them to the site I link to in the OP so that they all end up in one place. If you don't want to post here in the forum who beat who, that's fine, too. As much work as it might be to take the ladder and enter data into my excel spreadsheet, it's easier than scouring through this thread's eventually many pages. Just remember to enter multiple battles as individual entries, not one match that reads something like "2-1". I want to see 0-1 or 1-0 throughout. Thanks.

There has been one instance (at least) of a winner not having the replay. This is what you do in that case. If you are the loser in that battle and you have the replay, please upload the replay but make sure that when you are naming the replay file that you put the winner's name first, followed by the loser's. This is so people loading the replay know who won and who lost in that battle even before loading (this is traditional naming convention in previous tournament replay packs). As for the number, if you don't know which victory it was for the winner, you can check by going to the replay server folder: http://www.ebportal.tk/ebo/upload/tmp

This is another reason why I want everyone to re-upload all their replays to EB Portal even if they have done so at Mediafire or elsewhere. This will clearly indicate what number the loser-uploader should put in the file name (prevents rare but possible file overwrites in case the same winner-loser combination occurs twice in a row).

I was surprised at first and checked and indeed there were some errors with the numbers on the ladder. Let me just say one thing, I discovered to my dismay that the ladder's Recent Matches page can only show so many battles, even if you keep clicking the "more matches" button at the bottom to expand the view. Therefore, if I even delay checking that page for a day or two, I can miss several matches. So it's safe to say I want people to keep posting here on the tourney thread about their matches, even a simple post saying "Stormrage wins against gamegeek2".

Yes this is correct. You put the number of your win (your first win? second win? third?) followed by your name (since you won) and then the name of he who lost.

By the way, upload all your replays to my site. You too Arjos. If you put it all on Mediafire I have to download 100+ replays individually. If you put it on the website I download all of them in one go, and zip them for publication.

Anyone who wishes to stop playing tournaments, please do not leave the ladder as it ruins all the battles you've ever had. The ladder IS NOT RELATED to the tournament. If you've never seen a weekly score report, then I see why you might make that mistake. But DO NOT leave the ladder. It is a permanent record, not a monthly tournament score keeper. The numbers on the ladder are only going to keep going up.

Oh but I think I did. Did you win against Arjos twice so far (as indicated by your two replays)? If you go to your row, which is #16, and go to where it meets the second column (i.e., player #2: Arjos). You'll see a '2' there, meaning you beat that player twice. Were there more than 2 victories against him?

No, I meant that he beat me once, meaning he should have a point against me. To make it absolutely clear, my first game against Arjos ended in a victory for me. The second game I played against him he won. The third game I played against him I won again. So the score between us is, The Celtic Viking [2] - [1] Arjos.

Also, just a quick note. A couple of people have fed over 3 wins to their opponents.

How do you force playoff games between various sports teams? Also, it's not forcing. People have a choice in participating.


I also don't think we should make a bracket. If we want to reduce it, we should make some kind of "only x points of battles between two players" or "only x points against one player".
The unwritten rule so far is that you may not win against another player over three times.

Have you ever played in elimination tournaments? If you have played on any sports team, or chess, or any esports, then you know it's no 'job'. It's the most competitive gaming you'll find. The stakes are higher as your presence in the tournament is maintained only by winning all your games. We wouldn't need to limit the number of players because we can have up to 16 games going at the same time. We could take in as many as 64 players in a tournament this way. If I had it single-elimination we could even have 128 in a single month. We have far fewer players at the moment, so this would not be an issue.

EDIT: I bring this up because I figure it would be unsuccessful if we ran a trial month alongside a normal monthly tournament. The only way I think we could get people to participate is by completely substituting the tournament system for a whole month (e.g., July 2012 runs an elim tourney instead of an FFA).
