EBOT 2010 August

[vartan]

Yes. His complete disregard for the rules and attempt to avoid his punishment should earn him that.

Cheers to that :p

Edit: also, if it isn't too late, I'd like to change my fction to the Arverni.

It's on the house! Honestly, the only practical condition I'll put on the table, yeah, is this: you change your faction, yeah, just as long as you haven't submitted games in that same month with another faction. Get it? Cause honestly I'd either have to tell you to bugger off and/or that I'd discount (or "not count" ?) all them previous battles with that other faction. And I don't want that hassle. Have a good one y'all.

[Kival]

Does No one want to start the tourney? 3rd of August and no game until now... ;-)

[The Celtic Viking]

Well, I just came home last night from my vacation and a 14 hour car drive. That's my excuse anyway.

Disqualify?

Anyway, thanks.

[VikingPower]

But I will be away for the next two weeks.

[Burebista]

Victory against Kival...Carthage is victorious!!!!

[The Celtic Viking]

Am I just being unlucky, or are players never online?

[antisocialmunky]

It takes abit to get going. Also I seem to recall that you were usually on when only I was on...

[Kival]

Am I just being unlucky, or are players never online?

Which time are you online?

[The Celtic Viking]

It's different from time to time, but it's usually either around 12:00, or 17-20:00. GMT +2, I think, with the DST.

[Kival]

It's not so different to times i can be there sometimes, I'm back at home in a few days and we should see each other in the network then.

[Burebista]

We really really need those damn factional units , army comp rules and the adress of the EB MP hamachi network posted somewhere otherwise new blood won't join us. (speaking about the Ebonline site being down)

[antisocialmunky]

Use this:

http://www.filefront.com/17189597/Factional Lists (PNG).zip

For now. Its the faction recruiter lists. Note that we combined both the EB website lists and these lists together for the list of factionals so some things may be missing.

As for army comp. It was like:

Not Steppe
5 Cav - 3 Heavy Cav
8 max Phalanx
Max 5 archers
Max 5 Mercs

Steppe
8 Archers
12 Cav
4 Heavy Cav
Max 6 Phalanx
Max 10 Infantry

IDs were:
031-664-896
041-531-937

[The Celtic Viking]

You forgot that "max 2 eles" rule... not that anyone would want to use three or more eles with our money limits, of course.

Victory against Rome but the attitude on Ycarus isn't what i would like to bear a second time. Nice game though against cheesy guard mode prima cohorts spam Rome.

Hey does "phalanx" include hoplites as well? If so, a lot of people I've played with have been violating the rules... and I was pretty sure the limit for steepe was 4.

[Burebista]

No , hoplites are not included. And yes , i remember that the limit was 4 for steppe.

[SlickNicaG69]

Wait, aren't hoplites also a phalanx?

[antisocialmunky]

No. Also you are still banned 3x.

[vartan]

No. Also you are still banned 3x.

Thanks for posting the relevant info from the site. I still have the whole site and as I just got back I'll contact the webhost. Don't know why they flaked out on us since we were getting exponentially increasing hits on the site...I'll get back to you guys on that once it's fixed. Many apologies for the inconvenience.

Phalanx refers to the Macedonian Phalanx in EB Online Terminology (it was on the site; hopefully be back online ASAP). What did you think about the recent meteor shower? Never seen something so beautiful.

EDIT: Site is up. Thanks to Muzzius (his name on Hamachi) for pointing out the bad link for EB MP EDU installer. Fixed.

[vartan]

I'll go outside my comfort zone for once and play as the Sauromatae Hayasdan. I do not expect much success.

Can't believe you of all people could say such a thing. Pity. Good luck anyway. ( np, you're alright).

EDIT: Sorry for two consecutive posts. Didn't see that as I was replying to a first-page post. And the OP is updated now.

[alexanderthegreater]

Im in with the Getai.

I think I'm out, August is already winding down and I just got Victoria II, which is sucking up all of my time right now...

Maybe sometime in the future, when I've moved past this addiction and come back to EB.

Sure, no problem. I wipe people's names off anyway at the end of the month if they haven't participated at all. OT: What's Victoria II?

[SlickNicaG69]

What's Victoria II?

Yea man why are you wasting your time with Victoria II? The "knowledgable" aspects of it are all great, but how can you devote your time to such a game when at the moment of conquest, it all depends on Atari-based renditions and superfluous computations? Send that baby back to Gamestop A.S.A.P. and meet us up @ the tourney man! Either that, or trade it in for Starcraft 2 and see me on the net!

[Forty-Two]

Pahlava for me, please.

Also, hello again to all the people here, I've been unable to follow any EB MP stuff for a long time (and probably won't be soon either).

Welcome back. Getting ready for the new school year are we?!

It's a Paradox game, like Europa Universalis or Hearts of Iron, except set in the Victorian era (1836-1936). It's real time grand strategy, but no battle mode like total war. However in terms of economics, politics, diplomacy, etc, it's a lot of fun.

To be honest, I didn't think I would like it that much either, but I'm addicted. I don't really miss the battles because the other aspects of the game are so in depth that if I had to play the battles out, the game would take forever. I'll always come back to Total War though, I always have before.

Personally, I'm not a Starcraft fan. I liked the Warcraft rts series, but I'm just not enough of a sci-fi person for Starcraft, and to be honest, I don't really like traditional rts games that much anymore.

It sounds like Europa Universalis. I wanted to enjoy that game but it was so complicated and hard to figure out. I presume the team who made it didn't have somebody to make sure the game was gamer-friendly.

I was also formerly a major RTS fan, but ever since Total War, Real Time Tactics has been much more enjoyable and conductive to twists and turns than RTS. There virtually always seems to be patterns discernible in RTS titles, while the RTT titles easily turn out differently each battle due to varying patterns of approach (at least vis-à-vis multiplayer).

EDIT: The OT talk such as this in this thread is not a problem at the moment, luckily enough, solely due to the fact that it is almost the end of the month and network member turnout has been at an all time low.

I found one opponent... and it wasn't a tourney game (Because I think it was The Celtic Viking)

He plays as the Arverni, just like you, so even if you wanted to play a tourney game, you couldn't. The game doesn't let opposite teams share the same faction.
