Will this be getting its own sub forum or anything of that nature?

We hope so. I'll wait till I get the results of the first tournament so can assure the powers at be that this is not a dung tossing competitio but a serious tournament. So then we might have our own subforum and expand on the idea.

Would you be interested in joining?

Exactly the same situation as maion, so thanks for the info.

Good I can still join the tournament, I will be Romani player if that's the one you are short on.

GMT +1 is the zone I live in.

I don't really have large amounts of empty time now. I will discuss this with my opponent perhaps.

Good luck to everyone!

The first battle of the tournament has already been played.

Tolg vs Phalanx300:

Replay

Phalanx was defending with a minor height advantage, my Principes engaged his Hoplitai while my Pedites Extraord. and my cavalry flanked him on the left. The Pedites were caught up n battle with some more of his Hoplitai but my cav was successful, routed his inferior cav and then finally charge the backs of his phalanx, causing his defeat.


To sum it up:

Romans: 1
Greeks: 0


Of course only if I the jury approves.


Actually I made a minor faux pas: Perhaps this game shouldn't have been played before the maps were officially announced, I hopes it's valid nonetheless. (The majority of the jury already voted in favor of "Mount Olympus" anyway)

Alright, I started the normal MP screen with a valid cd key.

Are there any recruitment restrictions?

Do I have to download hamachi? Or only if my opponent uses it, and what exactly is hamachi and what does it do?

Looking forward to the fight!

Hey, Burebista - can you compile all the replays in the first post? The jsut for fun ones and the tournement ones? Be great for hte audience.

Yes, Tolg... Olympus was pretty much the consensus for that battle. Unless HunGeneral disagrees, in which case you're screwed :p

Kidding.
I'll post the other maps soon. I still need an alternative for Thermopylai. Can't understand why you guys don't like it... it's much better than the "Danube Delta", for instance.

Fluvius, check the thread's intro message, you have a comprehensive guide to multiplayer, plus the extensive rules over there, which you must read.

EDIT: Will do, munk. Thanks for the idea.

Dnube Delta seems somewhat plain, but fair.
Also I already suggested "enter the colossus".

Well... actually three is the Hunnic justice but two might do for Saka outposts until I get the rest of the hordes there... :laugh4::laugh4::laugh4:

Now seriously: I have no problem with Mount olympos (don't know the maps but since all others agreed it must accepteable - more in PM)

I don't mind Thermopylae..

Irish vs Anti, I'd certainly want to see the replay of those rivals!:yes:

And has Thermopylae at this time changed much from that of the Greek-Persian wars?:book: Since in EB it is portrayed as very wide with alot of trees.:inquisitive:

I thought of joining in too, but I've never played multiplayer before. Today I logged in through the multiplayer-exe or how you call that. But everyone was using BI and I couldn't join in :inquisitive: :inquisitive: :inquisitive:

Am I really the only underdeveloped one, who still uses the original RTW-exe or what's going on :dizzy2:

No, it just looks like that when you do that. All the people and games you see are vanilla players(god have their soul:shame:).

Anyways, you should try hamachi, that way you can play games with lan.:2thumbsup:

If I start Hamachi, then start RTW (or do I have to start the Multiplayer-exe?) and click on Multiplayer - Lan ... yeah.. what then? :laugh4:

Install Hamachi, look if there are people online and see if they want to play. If so start up EB Multiplayer, go to lan and type in your name. Press okey and your in the lobby and can play there with other players.:yes:

Just check my guide and tell me if you've got any questions:

Puh, cutting internetconnection? Reenable your internetconnection? I'm a noob. I think I'm going to use the first way you described *G*

Well you don't have to do that, with me it works just fine if I just start up EB with Hamachi installed. :juggle2:

someone ready for a try? :leer: :leer: :leer:

First try without cutting your connection, only do that if it doesn't work. (Perhaps I should edit my guide one of these days.)


PS: @Swissbarbar: Sry, I'm going to go to bed early, no mp games more tonight.

Edit: appears you thought the same. ;)

What's the cd key??

The number code which came with vanilla. Though you don't need it if you intend to use hamachi.

That was a neat battle to watch. Your principes fighting the center phalanxes were constantly wavering, but Phalanx300 never had the opportunity to exploit that.

I would indeed, I'll have a look into setting up and getting onto Hamachi. Will post here when I've figured it all out. In the mean time, keep those replays coming! They're very entertaining.

Then be sure to sign up for April!

In the meantime, here are the maps to be fought on:
1. Antisocialmunky vs. IrishHitman - Samos
2. Alexanderthegreater vs. Potocello - Peloponessos
3. Blxz vs. Gabeed - Abu Simbel
4. Rootje vs. BurningEGO - Temple of Artemis at Ephesus
5. We shall fwee...Wodewick vs. Silence Hunter - Temple of Zeus at Olympos
6. TWFanatic vs. Maion Maroneios - EB Makedonia
7. Tolg vs. Phalanx300 - Mount Olympos*
8. Fluvius Camillus vs. Tsidneku - Kolossos of Rhodos

Now, all four of the remaining jury members will have a look at this battle (playing it right now), and let's see what rules Tolg broke :p

I think the replay of the first match was played on 'Large' scale. Is that the designated scale? Or is it just whatever is agreed by the contestants for the match?

I normally play on Huge if my opponent can support it.

Damn, I'm itching to install EB now and finally start playing/judging/kicking some Romaioi ass. Will look at the reaply even today maybe. By the way, I have contacted TWFanatic and he hasn't answered yet. Nothing to worry much about, since I can play after Thursday, but just saying. Maybe you, Βελισάριος, could also contact him (or at least try to)?

Maion

Damn it, I wanted to practice against the computer in a custom battle before the big match, BUT, I can't find ANY Roman units... I have checked each unit one by one down the whole list 3 times through. I tried using the computer to select some 'appropriate' units and it selected some roman ones that I couldn't find anywhere on the list.

ANY idea how to sort this out? I have a game tomorrow and need to figure it out soon. Thx.

Are you running the multiplayer.exe? That's the one which makes custom battles playable with faction troops.

You probably didnt use the text file for MP.

You guys are probably right, never occurred to me. Although I have probably read that somewhere before.

The Greek City States are after all the most supreme force ever to have existed:idea2:. Sparta stands unrivaled troughout the world!:yes:

---

I guess they can consider themselves rivaled now? Those inferior roman barbarians did you one over good.

Actually it was a very good battle. I have to say I thought very much that you were going to win Phalanx300. It was just unfortunate that you lost that mini skirmish style battle on your left flank with those cavalry. Had lots of fun watching your battle. Even more fun to know that my team is now 1 up on the score board.

-----------------------

Actually, thanks guys for telling me about using multiplayer, i have found my factional troops. Major problem now is that I have never played until marian reforms in EB so I have no idea as to what constitutes a marian army (which i need to use against the Ptolmies). Anyone able to give me a decent historic guide as to what I should use OR even list down every single roman factional unit that qualifies as Marian and won't get me disqualified in this tournament...I can't find it anywhere on the site. There are some nice historic hellenic armies on page 1 of this thread but nothing roman, are they really that hated?

You have the list of Roman units by reforms on the EB website, here.

In the meantime, since the first Hamachi network seems to be getting full, I've made another one.
Network name: Europa Barbarorum II, password: greecevsrome.

Maion, I've sent WTF... I mean TWF a message, but he still hasn't replied. Let's wait and see.

Well I doubt Irish and I will be able to play before wednesday night or friday evening because of my connection.

You may choose whichever unit size you want, though I hope that all battles can be fought at large or huge, smaller size makes the battles much less interesting. Then again, that's just my personal opinion.

The Greeks are on defensive formation this round. The Romans need to break through. :D

Rematched..

This time I lost

Romans 1
Greek 1

This time my enemy switched from greek phalanx to macedonian, avoiding the front of the phalanx I tried a large flank attack, which failed, then my general died and the situation was lost.:no:

Any chance to redeem myself?:wall:

Replay Match -- Pontic Victory

Flavius Camillus (Romani) vs Tsidneku (Pontos)

F. Camillus fielded a similar army, save for the ranged. Tsidneku changed to a phalangite based army this round. I think this replay shows great use of the mobility in a Roman army. The battle began on the Pontic Right flank where the cavalry forces clashed. The Pontic cavalry were largely repelled then shepherded by the Roman Antesignani spearmen.

Meanwhile, the Roman front had split into half and tried to try a massive flank on the Pontic phalanx line. I split and turned my phalanx after I made sure he was dedicating to the flank. It was a messy battle with many mini-fronts and cavalry charges into enemy hinds. In the end, Pontus was able to gain a victory after slaying the Roman imperator, afterwhich the Roman troops started routing.

Romans: 1
Greeks: 1 (not sure whether to count the technical win by IrishHitman?)

You can find a summary of the first match below, along with the original replay link.

Second match replay: http://www.mediafire.com/?3dvx1u20ynn

First Match -- Roman victory: game was replayed because Imperial Eastern Archers were used.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Flavius Camillus (Romani) vs Tsidneku (Pontos)

Notate bene: We realized he had Accensi in his army (which I think are Camillian era troops?), but I agreed that it was alright and we should play the battle through anyway.

F. Camillus's army was structured in an immensely long line with cavalry and Antesignani on the flanks. It was a shoot-out between my Heavy Archers and his Accensi until his Imperial Eastern Archers joined it from behind his line. My forces were getting peppered to shreds, so I decided to bring the battle to him and charged him. I flanked him from both sides with Scythian Noble Cavalry, but I follied and his Antesignani ate up a good 1-2 of my 6 units of cavalry.

One of my archer units had already been decimated when the battle began, so I had little to shoot down his winding cavalry. Camillus' great use of cavalry won him the day, I would think -- that, and his archers that I didn't expect. :wall:

Romans: 2
Greeks: 0

The replay has been uploaded to Mediafire: you can find it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?zzzgcjm00nx

But aren't you only allowed though to pick units which are portrayed for each faction at the EB site? :sweatdrop:

Wait a second, I haven't watched the replay yet, but Imperial Archers are Imperial units, not Marian ones... Meaning that he wasn't allowed to use them...

About the Accensi: I think it was decided that players are allowed to use older units (though I don't really like that), meaning that there's no problem with Cimillian units in a Polybian Marian army. Also I think that Accensi are still available for rome in the Polybian time frame in the campaign (not sure).

I forgot that you were using Marians. ^^' Anyway, it doesn't change anything anyway.

Most of the roman army fighting in Greece during the Macedonian wars was composed of allied Italian legions so I advice
For the sake of historical accuracy to use 1/2 of the slots available for allied Italians.
But its Just my opinion.
ps: i know i am a bit late sorry for that xd

:inquisitive:

There shouldn't be any Imperial units used by the romans. Unfortunaetly I'm not able to view the replay until friday night so could someone give clearence wether there really were Imperial roman troops in the battle?

I think earlier units might be used (unless the "rules" at the begining say Marians must be used - with those reforms many earlier unit types ceased to exist since Rome didn't trust there Italian allies anymore) As much as I know Accensi are also availabe for the romans after the Polybian reforms. But this time there supposed to be fighting Marian romans vs Pontos:juggle2:

Maion, the Barbaroi are triumphing! We must turn this situation around!

IrishHitman (Kingdom of Makedonia) vs. Βελισάριος (Roman Republic)
Technical victory to IrishHitman, Draw due to admitting defeat for time reasons.

The exact unit composition was:

Romani:

• 1x Equites Singularii
• 4x Equites Galliorum
• 1x Prima Cohors Reformata
• 5x Cohors Reformata
• 1x Cohors Evocata
• 4x Antesignani
• 2x Accensi
• 2x Imperial Eastern Archer Auxiliary

Pontos:

• 1x Pontos late Bodyguard
• 6x Scythian Noble Cavalary
• 7x Hoplitai
• 4x Thureophoroi
• 2x Bosphoran Heavy Archers

All units except the Imp. Archer ares compliant to the rules (The Prima cohors aren't on the E page, but they should be in anyway.)

Bump: I edited my post with the new results in case people mistakenly glance over it. :embarassed:

same for me!

Great. I think you just saved the jury a lot of trouble. :D

Anyway. Downloading the replay now.


(BTW, Irish's match was an official tournament match)

@Flavius: Redeem yourself in the second round. But don't you dare to bring shame upon the great Res Publica Romana again or you may look for your lost honor within the Amphitheatrum Flavium. :clown:)

It was?
Why's that?

Ave Competitors

To redeem myself I have practised my tactics against another greek foe!

Fluvius Camillus vs Irishhitman

Replay of this practice match:
http://www.mediafire.com/?kltn23wk2zx

It was a very exciting (and long) battle.

Polybian Romani versus Makedonia

I employed the same tactics from the last fight against Tsidneku, this time I comitted no great errors, my tactic worked perfectly this time.

Friend and Foe, learn from this fight and use these tactics on your own risk of defeat

First Part of the Fight
I approached the Makedonian foe, when his missile infantry targeted me I was making a run for it. I split my reserves to join the flankers. Only the principes stood in the center, evading the slow phalanx. My flanking troops were superior to his and the Makedonian right flank crumbled soon. The cavalry fight was were I also had the upper hand. After the flankers of the enemy were massacred and both our cavalry was weared out, we both withdrew from combat, reforming our shattered lines.

Second Part (long to watch)
As I watched how we both formed our lines, I see the enemy form a defensive circle, immediately I attack the enemy to stop them from gaining a strong position. A extremely long cavalry chase and minor infantry skirmishes take place. After a long chase my cavalry stops trying to kill the remaining Makedonian cavalry. Then I attack the main phalanx lines from multiple sides, I withdraw sometimes but eventually we came into long melee, wearied from the chase, my general loses his life. Enveloping the remaining phalanx we fight to the death, using some troops to fend off the cavalry. The phalanx slowly dies, then the cavalry charges a final time and my infantry defeats the cavalry. The phalanx is then doomed, they fight to the very end.

We shall remember the noble commander who lost his life and hunt down the escaped enemy commander!

That was the fight!

Tolg, thank you, I will redeem meyself or else!:thumbsdown:

Don't get your hopes up.
I've already formulated and tested defences against his tactic :P.
Two actually...

Actually, Fluvius, you might as well post it yourself.
And, from now on, I'd like all competitors to post their replays and comments on their battles in that folder, as this one's getting too big.

Also, the next time there is a breach of the rules, the point will go to the opposing team.
Fluvius was a last minute entry, and maybe was not familiar with the reforms, so we let it go. But next time, pay attention.
We may not disqualify the player (everyone makes mistakes, we're only human), but the point will go to the other team.
I guess I should add that to the rules.

The tactics used by Fulvius were bit cowardish for the brave-kill-them-all-from-the-front-with-my-gladius Romans :laugh4:. Interesting battle nonetheless.

Hope I won't get too much work to do for Friday so that could play a few test battles on Thursday...

I'll keep that in mind worthy adversary. And yeah, that was a bit hilarious watching him chase those companions around with everything he had and ignoring his phalangites wholesale. He also had a map advantage because Irish was pinned against the sea.

Maion

If someone would test the multiplayer with me this weekend, and if it works, I would like to join too if possible.

Preferably as KH or Epeiros, but if we have too many hellenic faction players I'd also play the Barbarians. :laugh4: :laugh4:

I'd love to play a game with you Swiss. As for the factions i don't think Barbaric factions are allowed in the tournament :whip: but then again i could be mistaken.

I think he meant the Romans :clown:

I've got bugger-all to do this weekend, so I'm up for a 1on1

And I don't care who you're playing, as long as you're ready to open a big can o' arse-whoopin', you know what I'm sayin'?

...don't ask... don't ask.

I cant open the files, which program do I need?

They are battle replays from Europa Barbarorum if you are talking about the movies of the battles?

Put those files in this folder: Europa Barbarorum/EB/replays

Then you can watch them.

What Barbarians?:clown:

:tongue3:

Potocello- haven't heard from you yet though i PM'd you. When can you be ready to play the match? also, can u play by regular MP?

Guys, just wanted to say that i do not know if i will be able to participate after all. I have been very busy lately. Just today i will be working from 10:00 till 24:00.

Maybe tomorrow or in the weekend i will have some free time, but i havent received any reply from Rootje (although i havent send him any PM either).

If somehow i do not post anything in the weekend on this thread, then discard my name from the list. I will have to apologize if this happens but its beyond my control.

Guys, I have been trying to contact with TWFanatic, but I get no response yet. Plus, I've been itching to fight with someone, so I wonder if anyone is willing to battle with me?

Maion

I'd love to, but can't for a couple of hours or so.

I'll be around for about 3 hours or so. Note I can only play on Hamachi.

Maion

I've got time. Are you on any network yet?

Can you tell me where to go on Hamachi?

Maion

All hail the barbaroi :smash:!

You may want to "bump" that thread if you find it useful for others to be more conveniently visible...:beam:

It's ok already, we tried to battle with Tolg yesterday and twice my crappy wireless connection was ended in the end of the battle... Anyway I know how to fight on Multiplayer now, so no problem. Thanks for the help, though :thumbsup:

EDIT: We just played a battle with Βελισάριος and I got my royal Makedonian ass whooped. Enjoy!

Apparently, the issue was unit size. If you play on Huge, it's going to mess things up with your connection, unless you have a solid DSL or othersuch healthy connection.

Anyway... Anti and Irish, why haven't you massacred each other yet? Maion, is TWF still not replying? Alex and Potocello? Wodewick and Silence Hunter PM'd me that they'd set up a battle, has it been fought already?

Come on, we still have 5 battles left to go.
