[uriel1987]

[NeoSpartan]

[Gnaeus Servilius]

We should set-up a tourney! first prize.....You will be worshipped as a god for one day! LOL

[king hannibal]

lol yeah but it's not balanced so tornament not really going to work to well

[uriel1987]

i create another network Eb04 all are welcome passworld: EB

[Gebeleisis]

i one think that eb is the most balanced game,so a toruney should go nicely
if we are thinking of a tourney i know the perfect place and i could organize it,have experience in tourney organization

[Gnaeus Servilius]

I have three solutions to unbalanced armies.

1 Tell anyone who moans about unbalanced armies to $£%" off.

2 A diadochi only tourney?

3 A set army for each faction. I know that there is problems with ths one but so long as they are reasonable balanced. If you lose a battle you won't actually die
or be disgraced amoun you fellow citizens.

Feel free to pick my three solutions to pieces. I will resent you if you do though.

Gebeleisis, please let us know what ideas you have.

[king hannibal]

well number 1 were do I start :P

only joking it's impossible for someone not to moan try it on RTR

someone will find one army that won't rout and then no one can beat it game over

[Gnaeus Servilius]

To hell with it! I want a tourney no matter the cost!

Anyway, if anyone is concerned about unbalanced armies it's simple, don't enter the tourney.

....

yep that sounds about right.

I played with the Aedui and was always short on $$, units, and quality units, especially against Polybian Romani, AS, etc....

But I figured out a way to have effective Aedui armies and tactics capable of handing serious a** woopings. And Madmatg made a Polybian Romani army that beat me 3 times in a row then EB 1.0 came out and we could not play.

Anywho I think tournies are OK, but each player gets 3 tries before loosing.

HOWEVER, I think we have an issue... I don't think we have enough people (YET!) for a big and fancy tournament. In the meantime we can do small nightly tournament-games were we publish the results of the nights battles.

ex:
1v1
XYZ vs ABC
2:1

2v2
XYZ+ABC vs BBC+CNN
2:2

[Gebeleisis]

well ok guys:

i got a new site set up only for TW games mods and tourneys ,and i one support mods and especially EB and WotD

a mod tourney could help both EB to become even more spectacular and loved.
I was organizer and mod of many sucesfull medieval II tourneys so i have experience in this.
I could offer the site for the tourney and can give even prices!(real ones)

If the EB team will be happy with this i would love to host their mod on my site and i would wish their tounrey to be hold there

what i need is to know what rules shall we use,so lets get some games first

[NeoSpartan]

I would like to add EB's armies are NOT unbalanced in the true sence of the word.

Each faction, due to large numbers of units each faction has available (not counting mercenary), regional troops found in each faction's area of location, and the historical research that dictated each units stats and cost, causes 2 things to occur:

1- The army make up a player can choose, thus the tactics he developes, and the effectives of that army will vary tremendously. Making the player play several battles before he can find an army make up that is capable of kick butt. (such as I did with the Aedui, such as Madmatg made with the Polybian Romani and KH)

2- Since $$ dictates the number and types of units a player can choose, and since the types, cost, and stats of units vary, the "power" of the players army for a given faction will vary depending on the amount of $$. In otherwords, for Faction X, an army selected with a budget of 15k, will be very weak compared to other factions. However, with a budget of 30k the army the player can make with X faction is very strong compared with the other factions.

ex: Polybian Romani with $15k budget are pretty strong, compared to AS. With $30k they are about the same. BUT with $50k the Polybian Romany's army is now weak compared to AS army. This is because AS player can now select cataphract, Hetaroi, Pezetaroi, and silver shields units in greater amounts.

Again.. the player will need to play several games before he can find an army and tactics best suited for a faction and amount of budget alocated.

Therefore, straight up tournaments are NOT that simple due to the complexities of EB.

BTW.... mercenaries add a whole 'nother dimension. Which I won't get into.

[Gebeleisis]

my xfire id: gebeleisis31
lets get this beauty rollin

[Power2the1]

My X Fire ID is mulattothrasher

I would love to play some EB 1.1 with the fans

[TruePraetorian]

I have EB 1.1 with the Phalanx mini-mod if anyone wants to play..

[king hannibal]

hi truepraetorian I don't think you will be able to play with that mini mod on although I'll be glad to try it out with you

[Power2the1]

Just wanted to confirm that EB 1.1 does work in multilayer with Hamachi. Playing against a human opponent is great, much more exciting than single player obviously.

Look me up:
Hamachi: The_Gaesatae.
X-Fire: mulattothrasher.

I assume Hamachi works with other RTW mods as well? Can anyone else confirm this?

[king hannibal]

yeah it works with RTR iberian conflict and works with gold version so I think it'll work with every mod as long as games are compatible

[NeoSpartan]

Hey sorry fellas, I won't be able to play this weekend. Yesterday I spent the night working on a draft paper, and tonight I will finish it and email it to my Prof.

Sundays I work till 11:pm and have class at 9am.



Maybe next week on Friday or Saturday I'll when and at what time I can play.

[Gebeleisis]

ok in case of a tourney these are the suggested rules in my opinion,feel free to spread your opinions

Rules are:

-Grassy Plain map or any other flat maps that have to be accepted by both players
-2 out of 3 games
-money:
15k mnai
30k mnai
45k mnai
-no red line camping

Army selection rules:
-you can use a faction only once in every stage of the competition
-max 4 RI (ranged infantry includes: archers,slingers) ["Peltastai" and units like these do not count like ranged infantry]
-max 4 same units
-max 4 HA (Horse archers includes javelin armed cavalry)
-max 1 level upgrade
-minimum of troops per army differs to the amount of money the tourney runs on

-minimum of troops per army differs to the amount of money the tourney runs on

-max 4 same units
An exeption to this rule are the (marian & Imperial) Legionaries to a Max of 10.

-max 4 HA (Horse archers includes javelin armed cavalry)
-- I am not so sure about this. Maybe a limit to 4 HA of the same kind. Ex: 4 Catapharact HA only. But OK with 4 unarmored HA. To a max of 10 HA units.
---> I say because HA factions normaly threw out lots of HA's.
------> and if YOU play against a HA faction the limit of 4 RI does not apply.

Gab can u clarify more on this "max 4 same units"???
-When I used to play MP we had a similar rule we meant the unit itself not the category of the unit.
-ex: Max of 4 Pezetaori (sp), but u can have 4 Phalangitai Deuteroi in ur army too.

Another rule:
Max of 5 Merc unit OF ANY KIND.
--ex: You are the Romani and u can have a 1 Classical Hoplite, 1 Hoplitai Troglodutikes, 2 Prodomoi, 1 Thraikioi Hippeis

[Gebeleisis]

yes i was refering to the "same unit" as name like you explained

and i do not agree with max 10 ha case it will turn out a 2 hour battle until they use up their arrows

[TWFanatic]

I am extremely dissapointed that I cannot play EB multiplayer. This is apparently because all the networks are full.

I recall that I used to be a memeber of all the major EB networks, for some reason I seem to have been removed. Would it be possible to get back in? Better yet, can we remove the size limitations of the EB networks so that we can have as many people as we want?

[Gebeleisis]

well its easy just to create a network and play,big deal :\

[TWFanatic]

Anyone create a new network, but that does not mean that people will join it. So yes I can create a new network, but I'll be playing by myself in that network. So it IS a big deal.

[NeoSpartan]

TWFanatic I guess your fanatisism is not letting you think, so I'll break it down to you.

1. Create a new network like, EB05, Password: EB
2. Post HERE that u created the network (give its name and password).
-2a. ALSO post HERE when you will be online to play.
3. Open X-FIRE and ask anyone you see to play with you.
-3a. Tell that person/s about the new network you created (give name and password)
4. Open EB.
5. Discuss rules and Play

and that should do it TWfanatic...
