EB Online Tournement Battle Report Thread

[Phalanx300]

Hoplite combat didn't last for very long either according to what I've read. Point is, Cavalry doesn't rout enemy as fast as it would.

There have been records of Hoplite combat taking hours. If anything it routs them too fast.

[vartan]

Not as fast as it would on a true battlefield? =)

I do, I answer.

No you don't. You only think you do. You have a corporeal form but that is not really 'I'. The 'I' is from your perception of self. You say 'that's me' when you see yourself in the mirror but that is just an image of self produced as electric signals in your brain that make up your conciousness.

Your conciousness takes up no mass and cannot be measured. Ergo, you do not exist. What you are are just a series of independent chemical reactions that think its more than that that vanish the moment they stop.

j/k I'm jsut bored and screwing around. You should see the stupid stuff Vartan does. Don't bother picking any of hte above apart, it makes no sense and is contraditory.

BTW- why aren't you playing any German games?

[darius_d]

So, Qarthadastim lost again.
And again cavalry guys were to blame - my cavarly for ridiculous error, and opponent cavalry for destruction ballet in my lines.
This time, Aulus Caecina Severus gave a lesson with his Romani Polybian.

But actually it did not mattered so much what foot army he brought, it was just important that his decimated elite cavalry was enough to secure victory, since my cavalry was lost.
Edit - I just realised it was Polybian units (not Camillan), ok this makes me feel a bit better.
Of course, his win is fully deserved - he did good job by outmanouvering my cavalry to create himself this tactical advantage.
But this is just another reason to complain about elite cavalry being overpowered in EB.

The critical moment came when his elite cavalry Equites Extraodrinarii started to escape for life from my trap and my 2 iberian cavalry units pursued. Untill that moment things were going well.
So my cavalry went too far in that pursue and soon they found themsleves trapped and for good. They quickly broke and were lost for the battle.

The situation didn't seem so tragic yet, Aulus was left with merely 25 cavalrymen. But again I could learn, that you can attack that cav with up to 3 spearmen units and it will be not enough to destroy them or rout.

You disappoint me Jack.

[mountaingoat]

i recently had to format , installing EB again ... so the AS armies can expect a falx to the face soon .

[Gabeed]

DAMN I wish I had my Rome CDs so I could terrorize, cannibalize, capsize, and frankly Ptolemize these Seleukid bastards to the other side of the Taurus Mountains. Next week, folks. Next week.

[darius_d]

@ Mountaingoat
@ Gabeed

yeah, definitely someone need to teach them a lesson, especially that turncoat JJ (for spoiling Roman results).

If I could just help - but since Monday I leave on 1st part of my holidays.
But I'll return just before end of July so expect some mess in scoreboard on the finish.

[Aulus Caecina Severus]

I think this is problem of EB: cavalry CAN T still alive against spearmen at that time.
Also cavalry CAN T be able to deliver those great charges because haven t BRACKET that was invented some century after EB time.
One example? Bactrian late bodyguard: 29!!!! of armour... what is the criterion for this value so high.


However i see in this tournament very high skills about tactics and deployment
Thanks to asm rules this is really balanced game... good work.
I think Darius was only unlucky against me, his deployment was most effective in defence.

This is my summary:
tsidneku(pontos) - parallel pain(sabean) - darius(chartago)
fluvius(AS) - tsidneku(pontos)

Thanks for fun guys!!!!

Then god is just part of the imagination of chemical reactions.

Will soon, was kindoff getting addicted a bit with Mount and Blade Peloponession War Mod, only after my campaing terminating seeing it was still a demo. But I shall hail the gods for victory soon!

BTW- Always love this Spartan quote: "The long speech of the Athenians I do not pretend to understand. They said a good deal in praise of themselves, but nowhere denied that they are injuring our allies and the Peloponnese."

Simplicity for the win!

[antisocialmunky]

Its to bad that SPARTAAA!!!! isn't doing very well in this game. I might play a few games as them. I dunno.

[Maion Maroneios]

Can't you just not ruin one thread? Keep the religious or whatever stuff to yourself. I don't believe in God as well, I just used it as a way of speech.

I was just discussing with someone and then you come into an tread of an tourney you've left to talk about god who you don't believe in just to reply to me. Who was ruining what again?

Its because Hoplites aren't really that effective in EB, as your main forces that is. Thats how I like to use them, with weak cavalry and missle support. Only way to win in EB is to take lots of Hoplites and heavy cavalry for hammer and anvil, otherwise it'll just end with you being flanked by massive numbers of elite infantry.

Thats why I'm glad EB2 has shieldwall(so they've said), they can now be used as an offensive force!

You know something? It was stupid enough of me to bother replying to you specifically from the start. I should have known better from the other thread. Not that anyone else doesn't anyway.

Yea since you are obviously all that matters right?

[antisocialmunky]

Can you guys stop this pissing contest between you two? Every single thread your two post in inevitable devolve into this. Please knock it off as the quality of the EB forums has gone down hill as of late because of crap like this migrating from thread to thread.

Stop posting if you're not adding to the topic.

[Fluvius Camillus]

LOL!!

I played a major part in trashing the Romani score. My use of cata's also impressed someone to see the light, now using his tactics for the worthy cause!

Gabeed, I am ready for you, my Royal army is ready to give you a beating which will not be forgotten.

Mountaingoat, same for you, see you on the field of battle!

Where is Tsidneku at, I still have to fight him. Let's see the competition's leading generals clash in a battle of epic proportions!

Always looking forward to more fights!

[darius_d]

My last battle by Qarthadastim before holidays break, and 2nd one with Aulus Caecina Severus. This time he took Imperial Romani.
Undisputable win for ACS. My cavalry survived until the end (and he had no elites this time) but he was just more swift in charging infantry.
Again - gg, ACS.

http://www.mediafire.com/?w1yyz32dnhx

Yes, good idea to take some break.
See you later guys.

[antisocialmunky]

Wha? ACS charge? Lol :).

I only played you once for tournament, Agrippa, which you already posted. I checked the one above and it's the same as the one before. When ASM posted, the score as far as I could tell was indeed 4/4: Wins are me, Maris, Alsatia x2. Loss are darius_d, tsidneku, Fluvius Camillus, Flavius_Belisarius

Right now it's 5/4

[antisocialmunky]

So wait, am I mistaken or right?

[Parallel Pain]

You were right. Just he played another battle after the checkpoint.

[vartan]

Won two against Alsatia.
