Jury Ruling(s) Needed.

Marian Armies need spear support so you should give them atleast some Samnites.

I know this is not the most appropriate place, but what are the rulings on auxilliaries, can I use Illyrian, samnites, Bruttians etc... to support my armies in Polybians?

Should be in the original thread, but since it's too late anyway I might as well answer:

Alloed are the units listed here.

As stated in the rules:

how do i watch the replay? the file is only about 200kb and in a format my computer cant read?

We should add a note about this in the first post of the analysis thread...

The replays are saved as RTW replay files, you have to save the replay file in the [Rome:Total War]/EB/replays folder (you can create it if it isn't there yet), then start singleplayer EB, Load Game -> Load battle replay and select your replay.

Irish I totally agree!

Also, Roman units should belong to their time frame! I don't think its accurate to see Camillan Romans fighting in Marian time.

Also, the Roman time frame should once again fit to their opponent. (like Camillan for Epeiros) Otherwise I suggest to let players choose their own time frame, which would be better then to do it semi-Historical, might aswell make it more fun then.

And for Epeiros, I suggest that the 6 Phalangite limit will be removed, Epeiros relied more on a Infantry/Phalangite force supporting eachother. A 3 or 4 limit would be more Historical.

sorry to get a bit off topic here but i would just like to point out that it is a folder called "replays" not a folder called "replays folder", might seem obvious to some but it caught me out for a minute 'till i figured it out.

The best thing is that the Macedonians were considered barbarians themselves :)

Perhaps I should have said

"[Rome: Total War]/EB/replays" folder.

Though the way I phrased it was actually clear as well.

The replays are saved as RTW replay files, you have to save the replay file in the "[Rome:Total War]/EB/replays folder"

doesn't make any sense after all.

On Topic:

In fact most rules are more part of a "code of honour" than real rules. That is because the jury has no way to determine if - for example - illegal weapon upgrades were used (unless there's someone out there who can decode .rpy files for us (the replays aren't videos but lists which exact information on the orders give by both players. the engine then fights a battle with both players being AI controlled and doing exactly what you did in the original battle.)). All we can do is check the battle for illegal units and plausibility (a unit of Akontistai massacring a unit of Cohors Reformata in melee would indicate illegal upgrades) for everything else we have to rely on the player's sportsmanship.
