    Default Europa barbarorum Online Tournament!

    Europa Barbarorum Online Tournament!



    Seeing the succes of the Legion vs. Phalanx tournament by Burebista I thought it would be a good idea to have a new tournament, but this time with not only Legions and Phalanxes, in other words all factions are allowed!



    So will you defend the glory of Hellas? Fight for your tribe? Conquer the steppes? Show the world the glory of Rome? Join now and find out!



    You’ll have to pick a faction for this tournament with which you will stick, together with others of the same faction you will be a team. We’ll keep track of battles between factions and count the wins and losses of factions, to decide which faction is most worthy of being in EB! So come now and defend your faction of choice!



    General Rules:

    1) EB 1.2 will be used, with all fixes installed(even though you should still be able to play without fixes).

    2) Hamachi shall be used to play the battles.

    Network Name: EBOT01
    Network Password: EB

    Small guide for online play by Tolg which was made for the previous tournament:

    Extensive Multiplayer Guide (by Tolg):

    This guide is written so that anyone can understand it. Please just ignore the obvious bits.

    Make sure that you have a clean install of:
    RTW + Patch 1.3 + Patch 1.5
    EB 1.1
    EB 1.2
    The EB 1.2 Fixes
    (Installed in this order)
    Check if your firewall allows RTW to access the Internet
    Download Hamachi
    Install Hamachi and read it's tutorial. It only tales ~2 minutes but helps a lot.
    a) Create a Hamachi network (press the triangul button at the bottom left of the Hamachi window, select create network, enter the name and a password and hit OK)
    b) Join the network that was created by your opponent. (The triangular button again, join network and enter name and pw of the network)
    Now it gets tricky:
    Cut your main internet connection.
    Start EB using the mp .exe and click "Multiplayer" and "Lan Battle"
    Minimize your game (Alt + Tab or Alt + Esc)
    Reenable your Internet connection
    return to the game and do as described in the previous guide (Step 8).
    [b]Don't forget to save the replay once you're done!



    3) We will play at 40.000 money, when you have to much money left you can give one chevron (not more!) to some of your units to make up for that disadvantage.

    4) You will only be able to pick units for your faction which are shown on the EB website with your faction of choice.

    5) Try to go for Historical armies, we're playing EB after all !

    6) No running through other units! Its not the EB way! :peace: In which its also meant that you can't run through enemy units and pike formations with units. Small minor mistakes or prebattle movement will be looked past but once the enemy is close then no more running units through other units.

    7) Max 2 Elephants may be used, only by the factions with elephants at the EB site for your faction. (Though you barely have money for a proper army with one elephant). Using elephants also has to be announced before the battle!

    8) Roman faction will have to stick with one time period army, so no Camillan units in Republican era!

    9) Max 5 non EB site units for your faction, to represent foreign allies if you wish to have them in your army.

    Elite Unit Rules:

    Max 6 Elite units. With which you must think of elite units basicly , like elite cavalry, pikemen, swordsmen etc. If you got any question whether a unit is elite or not just ask! General Unit also counts(when you pick a elite unit ofcourse)!

    Cavalry Rules:

    Max 5 Cavalry, Max 3 heavy Cavalry.

    Missle Unit Rules:

    Max 6 Missle Units, including missle cavalry and Peltastai.

    Steppe Rules(need some changes propably):

    Max 20 Cavalry, Max 5 heavy Cavalry.

    Max 15 Missle Units, including missle cavalry.



    Jury: Replays will be posted so save your tournament battles! After which we collectively in this tread decide whether it was a legit win.



    Teams:

    Sweboz Team:
    Phalanx300
    Duguntz

    Ptolemaioi Team:
    MButcher

    Romani Team:
    Aulus Caecina Severus
    Mithick666
    spiritusdilutus

    Makedonia Team:
    Maion Maroneios
    IrishHitman
    spqrtitus
    Sir_Karati

    Arche Seleukeia Team:
    Fluvius Camillus
    HunGeneral

    Baktria Team:
    antisocialmunkey

    Pontos Team:
    Apázlinemjó
    tsidneku

    Epeiros Team:
    Knight Of Heaven

    Hayasdan Team:
    vartan

    Koinen Hellenon Team:
    xeksirt

    Quartadistim Team:
    darius_d

    Getai Team:
    Maris
    mountaingoat

    My faction of choice will be: The Mighty Sweboz Confederation! I was Koinen Hellenon for Sparta in the last tournament, now I’ll have to be Sweboz for my ancestors! May Teiwaz lead me to victory!

    Rules:
    -4 Horses, 2 heavy. Not including General(exceptions for steppe factions need to be made)
    -4 Missiles. Horses included(exceptions for steppe factions need to be made)

    We need some rules about elites and steppe factions.
    Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

    I was more thinking of max 5 Missiles Horses included.


    And yes we need some special rulings on elites and steppe factions. Perhaps something like max 4 elite units?

    For Steppe armies, Max 15 Missiles Horses included, Max 5 horses?

    And for money, 40.000 which we used on the last tourney is a good sum of money but for cheaper factions then the Hellenic ones like the Romans and barbarians its just too much and we must avoid. 30.000 or 35.000 might do better.

    Ohhhh. I wanna join....how do yah join?
    You just did . You do need to claim which faction you pick though .

    I'm gonna have to go with the Epirotes. You can't go wrong with the producers of the second best hellenic general.

    Wait. Does this require playing against other players online? If so then I can't, because my gaming computer is not hooked up to the internet

    I would love to represent the Ptolemaioi.


    I have never played a multiplayer game before, but now sounds like the perfect time to start!

    Few questions though:

    My EB is rather heavily modded. Will I need to revert back to vanilla EB or just change the EDU back to normal?

    And is there a guide on the basics of multiplayer games?

    When I tried playing via Hamachi, I ended up doing a complete re-install after only modding
    in KH Phalangitai as recruitable without MOT...

    See this thread for some replays and discussion of multiplayer battles.

    I am honoured to have been presented with my first baloons - - by Ibrahim for tactical observations
    and with my second balloon by Christopher Burgoyne for physical elaboration on the advantages conferred by the Kontos over the Xyston.

    Hey, Phalanx, you should try to convince the Prince of Macedon to join this.

    Yes you probably should revert to the vanilla EB version, if you can change everything you've changed back to normal then do that. Otherwise its probably best to revert it.


    Hey, Phalanx, you should try to convince the Prince of Macedon to join this.
    He doesn't play mods as far as I know. If you want him in you should just ask him(I can actually bet he'll ban you because he said alot that he doesn't play mods).

    Wouldn't know whether he'd join with me in it, we don't really like each other.


    I'll play Baktria, KH, or Imperial or Early-Mid Republic Rome... Actually I'll just go with Baktria and their general's bodygaurds of win.
    O Oh. Those guys are deadly, I gues it was with you when just them basicly decided the battle.

    PS. We should also do the 1 or 2 chevron cap with no weapon/armor upgrades. 45K is a good number through the Romans will probably end up chevronning everything.
    We better not pick anything above 40K, seeing how with 40 we already have to much with non Hellenic factions. I'm actually seeing if there's a more ideal lower money level, like 30 or 35 K.

    Yeah, your general really rocked the field, and your molosson agema... i have no words but: exllcellent work And Maion really knows with phalanxes
    Anyway, next time i'll do some better balance of my army and be careful on the field so i wont die so quickly. Man, i've lost my general so fast i didn't know what happen! And these H/A s of mine just didn't need to be there at all

    Makedonia & Ptolemaic Egypt vs. German & Portuguese barbarians:
    (IrishHitman & Titus vs. Duguntz & Knight of Heaven)

    http://www.mediafire.com/?nh2i1amjtm2


    It was quite a massacre.

    Basically, the Hellenistic plan was to use the rock in Irish marshlands as a left flank while we fought the barbarians head-to-head. However, being barbarians, they decided to run to the cover of a forest.

    Unfortunately for them, we weren't just going to waltz in there.
    We boxed the forest in on three sides and kept our cav moving on the other side, then advanced our pike phalanxes through until we made contact. They made desperate frontal attacks on the phalanxes, and tried a few things with their limited cavalry to no avail.

    Attrition against the phalanx, flanking manoeuvres and a few Companion charges did the rest, and the barbarians ran en masse.

    Just so you guys know, the Parthia team has won with its 15 units of missiles. Anything short of phalanx box will lose.
