Official EB Tournement Thread

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 :).

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.

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.

The EB Hamachi networks are quite inactive nowadays.

I haven't seen oyu around at all for about 2 weeks so I suspect that you're just not getting on that often. Many people are gone but currently I see 5 people online.

So:

Team Rules
-You can play team games with anyone. The number of players ahve to be eaven though.
-Winner all receive a victory to their faction, loses get a loss for each on of their factions.

ATTENTION:
If no one has any suggestions or discussion by Friday:
-Mnai will be set to 36K
-1 weapon upgrade will be allowed for Getai, Sweboz, and Saba (Infantry Only)
-Saba will have no unit limit restrictions
-Gauls and Britons will have 8 elites
... and other rules will be in place.

Please review and gripe.

I get on usually, but only for 1 or 2 battles, because my laptop tends to overheat.

40k mnai would be better and if we add Swebóz and Getai to the 8 elite limit then I don't think they will have problem with that.

I'll represent the KH...

Rules are fair.

I don't know if it'll matter if we give them 8 elites. Their mid-range is so woefully armored that 1/2 their army will die like flies. The weapons upgrade on the other hand costs like 50 mnai and will increase their kill rate noticably. On the other hand, the Getai have very nice profession level armies. So its really a matter of spending 2000ish to kill a cohort or 2700 to kill a cohort.

Do Sweboz even have any elites besides the Germanic heavy infantry?
