Sign me up as Burebista . Carthage is mine.

I've got a few questions regarding rules.

1 - Can we use any unit to be general bodyguard or should we stick to standart one?

2 - Who choses the battle map for each round? For Ex western barbarians would be at advantage at while fighting in forests but in great trouble when fighting a steppe's army in its own habitat.

3 - How much historical must be tactics? It'll be ok to use successor phalanx tactics with Sweboz (Speutagardaz as anvil lol) or consular tactics with lusos or should both factions stick to good old warband style, ambushes, etc?


And btw, anyone for some pratice today? I've never did MP with EB so I should get some experience.

Yes.

2 - Who choses the battle map for each round? For Ex western barbarians would be at advantage at while fighting in forests but in great trouble when fighting a steppe's army in its own habitat.

The person hosting the battle. If you do not like the battle map, remake with a different map. This is why most people like to play on relatively level maps. I still recommend EB maps because they are more diverse than a grassland. Grasslands are really whack, to use colloquial terminology, because they lack anything you could use tactically, such as a small forest and what else have you.

3 - How much historical must be tactics? It'll be ok to use successor phalanx tactics with Sweboz (Speutagardaz as anvil lol) or consular tactics with lusos or should both factions stick to good old warband style, ambushes, etc?

Use whatever tactics that help you actually win, historical or otherwise.

[Lazy O]

Grasslands are used since they offer no advantage to either side, maps with forests, etc.. encourage camping.

Was that yes referring to using any unit as a BG or to sticking to general's BG units?

[vartan]

Was that yes referring to using any unit as a BG or to sticking to general's BG units?

It was linguistic cleverness. The question was this or that. By answering yes the point I'm trying to make is you may use both actual general's units as generals as well as other, ordinary units, whether they be mounted or dismounted. Anything is fine as the general on the field. I hope that answers your question (=

Edit: forget this post. I'm tired. Look away.

[Burebista]

I think we are missing the factional lists for Pavlava & Sauromatae.

Any chance of modifying the merc limit for sauros? all their cav has missile so it's pretty much impossible to form a steppe army without more than 5 mercs.
Or just inlcude some getai units as factionals .

Just my 0.02$

I'm going to log on for a little while tonight.

And to Vartan, yes it does, thank you. Often cleverness, like sarcasm is lost over the internet.

I change my faction to Carthage

AGATHODAIMON defeats gg2

gg2 defeats ACS

EDIT: Then ACS defeats gg2. Go figure.

[Kranos]

My second battle - not really very fun cause damn you need to be so concentrated to not lose your head (this tourn will cost me couple of years of my life) but I can let the fun to my opponents ...I want only the goodluck .

So to make it shortly AGATHODAIMON defeats BraveSirRobin

www.mediafire.com/?i1vfbh8dmvr18fx

By the way I hope you trust in our honour( refering me and Gamegeek2) and more than this in my stupidity (cause for so much joy of winning against him I ve forgot to save battle replay) and please record my first success !

[vartan]

Public note: counting AGATHODAIMON's win against gamegeek2 tentatively until the final count at the completion of the month. If it is a critical point (i.e., difference between no win vs 3rd, 3rd n 2nd, or 2nd and 1st), then we'll have to see what the players have to say. In the past, we've always discarded claims without replays. It is unfair to players, frankly, and is a very clever mechanism by which to set up winners in the tournament. But we're not dumb, we spot these easily. Try us

As gamegeek2 said: http://www.zshare.net/download/908918316e1235c7/

Thank you gg2, worthy opponent!

[gamegeek2]

Damn, it was with an illegal army. Whoops I'm an idiot.

[Kival]

Clear victory for gamegeek here. I really don't like to fight these crazy horsemen ;-). Na, it was kinda interesting, thanks.

[Kival]

I'm not sure, if i understand properly. Only 1vs1 does count as tourney-matches?

[vartan]

I'm sorry. Let me try to be clear. Since 2010 July began, there have only been two 2v2 battles (and no other team battles, 3v3, or 4v4): one in 2010 July and one this month in 2011 June. I am counting those points, but I am not accepting any more 2v2 battles in tournaments. It has to do with logistical problems, if that's the right word.

[lmt96]

Kinda sad :( We should have an idea about this in the next tourney, because the number of players are increasing, as well as battles, this lead to the need of team battles.
We had a 3v3 battle not long ago. Although it's not tourney, it happened.

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

We could do a special team tournament. Would accommodate 2v2 and 3v3 battles and have a separate scoring system from the normal tourney.

[Lazy O]

I will leave the fate of this game for the jury to decide. Stormrage left the game and did not appear since the match was played. (2-3 days).

Clear victory.

[gamegeek2]

Gamegeek2 defeats Kival, this time for real.

'Twas not a slaughter, for the army of the steppe did not show up this battle, though the victory may be credited to the noble horsemen.
