Multiplayer standards

[khelvan]

Hi guys, we over at EB are starting to look at balancing our mod for multiplayer. I had a few questions - are there any standard rules you use, such as denarii amounts?

Or, if not, what about averages?

Thanks!

My advice would be to use a nice and simple number like 10k per player, easy to remember and easy to adjust for the various types of games 1v1-4v4=10k-40k

Right now most games for tournaments are around these rules:

12.5k for money
8 max combat cav
No art or limited amount
No elies or limited amounts
max 5 on unit types

M8 if you are interested how multiplayer interferance should be like, then check Chivalry mod for RTW.
There you don't need almost no rules to play quality multiplayer games.

I suggest you Khelvan to contact Adherbal on this, becaus he also managed to made two different systems for units. One for SP (suites more to SP players) and another for MP players. (if my info is correct here)

RTW allows for two different cost for units, one for SP and one for MP/custom battle so cost changes can be made without effecting SP.

Thanks - I was interested in the monetary values and such, it is much appreciated.

Yes, we're aware of how to adjust costs and the like, we just wanted to understand what standards were out there.

Cheers!

AFAIK the EB mod stands for realism and historical accuracy, so its up to you to make a standard for MP if you want the same type of gameplay there
