EB Online Tournement August Rules Discussion

[Gabeed]

@mor1d1n - Your score gets reset every time your general dies so the person with the highest score when they died wins.

This, of course, would be the case even if you win the battle and your general dies. The idea is that you may actually want to have your general flee from a losing battle, rather than dying in vain . ..and also that you'll want to protect your general from harm more.

Eventually, I want to set up a tournament that will work as an AAR of sorts, wherein every battle you fight will impact your battles in the future (in who you face, what kind of army you and your opponent has, where you'll be fighting, etc), and you may want to spare entire armies rather than have them fight to the death. We'll see.

Interesting. I will stay tuned on that.

For the moment I skip the tournament of August to continue my holidays and then campaign in SP, but then I shall back.

Ah... i see...this seems like a real good idea!! gr8 for role-playing the battles and can be taken further in later tourneys...

@ ASM and Gabeed...thanks for explaining...

so, should we like.. join tunngle ...how do we go about arranging battles?? and when do we start??

A few things...

1) Rule updates:
-Lusto, Gauls, Casse, Sweboz have had their max light units bumped to 8 incase they want to counter missile spam with missile spam. You're better off rushing TBH. Getai can buy Horse Archers and Cantabrian like crazy and has decent 'elite' archers though they might get bumped to 8 as well if we want to give them a better steppe option.
-Elephant Credit of 5K per elephant. Announce how many you have(up to 2) and adjust budget accordingly. Make sure the other player doesn't accidentally spend everything.
-I'm going to allow you to take light cav in your medium cav slots if you want to do that since (A) there aren't any 'medium' HA and (B) cheaper elephants.
-If you haven't noticed... Rome only gets hit by the 3K in Polybian and Camillian again.

2a) Can anyone get something else to work? We haven't been able to get Wippien, Leaf, or Tunngle to work with RTW without the game crashing. If anyone can get one of them to work, reply.

2b) Incase we can't find anything, DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A GOOD FREE IRC SERVER AND WEB CLIENT? We'll meet there and arrange games on Hamachi.

3) Who will invade Italy now?

Use IRC. Just jump into any major server and register a channel. It's not like we have to moderate it or anything. You can set a pass on the channel if you want after registering with most servers.

Chatspike should work (irc.chatspike.net) afaik.

IRC then Hamachi option sounds ideal at the moment. Please use forum names when you login to IRC to avoid complication.

I'll play this month as the Getai.

Sigh... Welcome to 1995, enjoy your stay. :-p

Well it seems like mIRC is hardcore sharewarez now so we can't use that long term. So lets use this:
http://www.hydrairc.com/index.php?page=downloads

http://www.hydrairc.com/wiki/wakka.php?wakka=HomePage

Download, install, if you're a noob at this: read the instructions since IRC is fairly primative and you're going to have to shell/cmd line everything so might as well read the instructions.

-Join irc.chatspike.net
-/Join #EB

And we are good.
