Eh, the I thought common sense would dictate that people who don't think they can win would stop playing the people that beat them for a while. Otherwise we just run out of people to play. Only about 5 other people are on when I am on so 15 games would be all that I would be able to play.

The bottom line is that if someone keeps beating you, you should really stop playing him... If more poeple ask though, I'll add of limit of ~5.

@Phalanx Box - The Phalangite Box is unfair because phalanxes are almost impossible to break from the front. If however, someone with other sorts of infantry wants to try it. That's fair since you can keep attacking at the same point over and over again and force the box to break.

I guess I should be more clear about what is a phalanx box. A Phalanx Box is a formation where more than 75% of it is made of phalangites or more than 270 degrees of the shape are defended by phalangites.

If you have any questions, post the replay or take a picture and we'll deal with it.

Exactly! Amen!

I'll sign up for this too if possible, using Epeiros.

EDIT: If someone could briefly explain to me the basics of Hamachi, I would be grateful. Also, where's the Epeirote love from the other tournament players?

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).
Don't forget to save the replay once you're done!

Read over all the rules, and when you're ready, reply and and I'll add you.

Okay, a few things:

-I added rules for Casse.
-I also want to open up debate into cavarly rules. Its my feeling that there is a little too much cavalry in the game and I was thinking about reducing the number of heavies down to 4 instead of 5. And instead making it so all general's bodyguards used for the general unit are free units that don't count towards any limits.

Any other ideas would be great also if oyu have them.

Unfortunately, I'm currently stuck with EB-BI, as I lent my regular Rome Total War CDs to a friend. So my part in this tournament shall be delayed until I recover the CDs.
