So modest :p

And the subsequent revenge for the Carthies against the steppe boys.

Indeed I am .

Indeed I am .

Credibility squandered.

LazyO has broken Robin's undefeated streak. All hail Sir Lazy for his courage. He did fall in the subsequent duel, but he stood for all those who fell before him at Robin's sword. All hail.

And Arjos, when this month is done and I publish the final score report and replay package, I'll also post an all-time tournament stats report.

[The Celtic Viking]

Two victories against Ulysses (The Feathered Serpent) Sweboz.

Hopefully we won't have as many Saka players next month. They're a real pain

[-Stormrage-]

Now thats a battle worth watching, how can saka possibly beat those iberians.

Nice going lazyboy.

Vartan, we need a July Tournament thread soon too.

I don't get why anyone would think Saka to be weak...

Theyre infantry is nothing compared to what carthage has.

Closest battle i ever played in my life vs LMT somehow i managed to get important victory :) https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dszgivlo7...2012-06-28.rpy

[vartan]

There have been 118 battles as of this writing. I only have 106 replays. There are 12 missing replays. If yours is missing from the list (link available in OP), please upload it.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

[Kival]

According to the ladder, Yavana has 18 victories but I see only 10 win-replays in the dropbox. So maybe it's primarily matches missing from yavana?

[Kival]

Capo has 10 victories according to ladder but only 8 replays. Gamegeek has only 2 replays but 5 victories. Stormrage has 10 victories but only 9 replays (victories always according to ladder)

[vartan]

Kival thank you but other people can fend for themselves. I simply ask people to check their own stats. Also, check the list of replays. If you haven't uploaded all of them, please upload the remaining ones promptly.

[Arjos]

Pretty sure Yav never got around finding his hidden replay folder, so he doesn't have any replay of his victories, unless the opponents posted them for him...

[-Stormrage-]

And pretty sure i dont know what my missing victory is or whether i even recorded it.

[Kival]

Kival wins vs Robin:

[Kival]

Did you perhaps miss my second victory against capo's AS, vartan?

[vartan]

I have both.

[Kival]

AH, the score is not already updated, I see.

[vartan]

Alright. I'll close the doors to June as of this post. Any battles you have now go in the July thread. Don't upload old replays that I'm missing. I'll deal with those personally (we'll talk in PM once I determine which ones exactly are missing). Expect final score report soon.

EDIT: Final report up.

EDIT 2: All-time report up.

[vartan]

EDIT: Moved to OP.

[Yavana]

Yup, I cant find my replay folder. I tried all the things Kival told me, nothing works. Sorry for that. It is very unconvinient for me as I would like to watch some of the replays other people played. My score on the ladder is fine as i remember all the games I played. None of the games I have played was accused with rules violation except the one I had vs Arjos and we both agreed this game isnt going on the ladder, so the ladder score for me is fine. Is the lack of replays that much problem?:( Really sorry for that Vartan, I see how hard work You do here and I appreciete this and am grateful :)

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

I found mine in the virtual store folder. Any chance you never checked that one?

I fear he did :(

My observations tell me that Rome is not a game programmed to use the operating system's built in virtual store system. Unfortunately, some of you have proven otherwise. As most of you know, the norm is that when you save a replay after a battle, that replay lands in [Rome directory]/EB/replays. How convenient is that? I see some of you have to go to the hidden folder located in your users folder in either of the two latest Microsoft operating systems in order to grab those replays. If you are wondering how you may avoid having to do that, the only solution I know of is to uninstall the game and reinstall outside the Program Files folder. That is to say, you must install in the root of a hard drive (for example, C:\Rome or C:\Rome - Total War). Program Files-internal software and their corresponding data files are dealt with by the OS in that virtual store.

Something I learned the hard way after hours upon hours of C:\ searches. Thankfully Kival took the time to help me through this problem and now I reliably know where replays end up.

[vartan]

Alright, I will pack the month's replays without Yav's since he can't recover them. But gamegeek2 and capo, do you have your replays (3 for gg2, and 1 for capo)? Let me know when you can.
