The Fifty Percent Rule

The fifty percent rule says that you can only spend half your money on mounted units, the other half goes to infantry.

10k per player? Then 5k can be spent on horses, chariots, camels, and elephants. 20k then only 10k etc..

Easy to implement, as you can pick your general and cavalry units first, using up to half the denarii allotted per player for riders, the balance for foot troops.

If this makes some factions unplayable for you, then don’t play them! This game was not designed with multiplayer in mind. Hopefully they will fix it in the September expansion.

But even when it is fixed (crosses fingers that it will be) so that all factions can be played, I believe that the fifty percent rule will still be the best “reasonably realistic” and “fair play” standard for our community.

What say you…
