EB Online Tournement Battle Report Thread

I believe you also failed to read this was a friendly match? You seem have counted this outrageous victory as valid for the Tournament. Do you want more proof that the Romans will be able to beat me over and over again with those rules? Fine. But if you don't listen and bring the cap back as well as abolish the +1 chevron rule of at least the Romans, I'm afraid I'll have to leave the Tournament because it takes all the fun away.

Take a look at the battle I fought with ACS, the last one. I won onoly because he didn't use his massive remaining troops (in comparison to my tiny remaining infantry force) to counter my exhausted cavalry. If he did, he would have won. And guess what? No damn chevrons. If he had them, I'd have gotten mauled 100%.

Also, why in the name of God do the Romans have to spend every single penny they got left?

<annoyed>Well since NEITHER OF YOU made it obvious that it was a friendly match until 2 posts below the replay I initially added the game. But then I just forgot to take away the win while getting rid of the loss so there. MAKE IT OBVIOUS ON THE FUTURE PEOPLE like putting 'test match' as a title or something...</annoyed>

Everyone else gets to spend all their money so why are the Romans not allowed to? Bescause of their discounts? If you remove the ability to chevron that's not going to fix the problem. What you're going to see are weird Roman armies fileld with pedites, extraordinarri/campanians, and elephants, 5 phalanx, etc. The Romans will spend their money on other crap if they can't spend it on slightly pimped out legionaires for around 250+mnai each. If you didn't notice, you did alot of damage to them on your right flank in game #1 for practically the same price as those legionaires with Celtohellenic hoplites and Thracian skirmishers.

I'll do some tests with the Maks closer to the weekend. I might move the money back to 40K.

I do admit that I did underestimate the Maks being as ridiculously high end as they are. NONE of the other hellenistic factions are like that. They all have a cheap levy option. It doesn't help that they have a levy phalanx 150 mnai more than most of other.

<annoyed>It would have helped more if instead of just point out and complaining about the problem, you played a game like this before the tournement started like you said you would and like I told you that you should to prove your point. You didn't have to wait until I actually started so I had to change the rules after its started. I can't do all the testing for this tounement! AND SOME HELP ANYONE ELSE WOULD HAVE BEEN APPRECIATED. I'VE HAD TO DO ALL THE TESTING AND SERIOUSLY I CANNOT. I CANNOT. I CANNOT.</annoyed>

I'm tired of changing this stuff. I'm not going to get rid of the 1 chevron - that is not the problem, more than likely, it'll be a 12 limit of heavy infantry for ALL factions and a limit of 8 limit on HI for steppe army compositions. If anyone wants to test this against the Romans, PLEASE DO SO SINCE I WON'T UNTIL THE WEEKEND!!!! There are 5 Romans in the tounement and 7 hellenics in the tounement. If only 2 or three of you played 1 or 2 battles, it would be enough. DO IT.

If you can't beat a heavy infantry limitted Roman chevrons or not with a full 5 cavalry, 6 phalanx, 6 infantry, 3 missile army...
