Nice to see this tournament revived, good rules too!

How could you forget I was on the Arche Seleukeia team?

Is bodyguard included as elite or does everyone have 1 bodyguard excluded from countin?

I hope these rules satisfy people, then we can finally start this!

Well so far in ths tournement, we've been counting the general's bodygaurd as elite. No one gets a free general's unit this time around it seems.

Did anyone want to talk about rules or budget? Since I'm giving Getai weapons bonuses and Celts extra elites, I think that 40K is a good place to stay though 35K-36K might still be better. I'm actually leaning towards 36K right now. Anyways, if you're practicing now, can you test one of the proposed rules like elite#, attack upgrade, and the 40K, 36K, or 35K budgets?

Add me to Pontos please.

**mountaingoat** · 06-23-2009, 12:43

are we going to form teams of some sort(keeping them regional to some extent ... like no romans with sweboz) ?

also is the tournament going to be regional (rome/hellene vs rome/hellene , barb vs barb , steppe vs steppe ) then the top teams from each region ?

**antisocialmunky** · 06-23-2009, 12:57

Well, I was thinking it was going to be everyone vs everyone. Since people can check which faction their opponents are playing and the Getai can field steppe armies. The only question would be the Sweboz but I forsee them just spamming pike infantry against steppe.

PS. I also updated steppe rules to prevent people like me from abusing them just to have extra cav by instituting a 10 infantry cap:). Steppe armies need to stay horse heavy or there is no point.

Also updated with some other rules I forgot like announcing elephants.

EDIT:
I've been testing the 1 weapon upgrade rule. Comboed with a chevron, it allows Draps to kill regular hoplties while losing to missile armed celtic hoplites. It allows Bastarnae to break even with Roman Legionaires(they do end up costing more though). I think its pretty fair considering the nakedness of Getic armies and they will evaporate to missiles.

It can get a little broken if they hide in trees.

EDIT2: Oh yeah, I think this was brought up earlier but did we want to make an official map list? Someone suggested that we remove all the broken maps OR we can give each faction a set of maps to use what someone of that faction hosts. Romans would have Italian Maps, Getai get Thracian and Daciaa maps :).

**mountaingoat** · 06-23-2009, 13:01

so there is no set team? well it would be nice if we could form teams if this is 3v3 or something ... if we have it without regional teams then that is fine.

**antisocialmunky** · 06-23-2009, 13:48

Oh, that's what you mean. Hmm, that wouldn't be a bad idea. We could have regional battles. Italians + Greeks vs Celts, Gauls, Germans or something like that right?

Yeah that'd be cool. I'll go hammer the groups out.
