Sign me up as Pontos.

I have several quick questions for clarification:

1) Do Heavy Cavalry double as "Elite"? Most, if not all (I haven't checked), 'heavy cavalry' classification ought to be elite units. Elephants do count as cavalry, right?

2) Are those "Max 4 horse-archer" and "Max 6 horse-skirmisher" rules considered sub-sets of the "5 cavalry" rule?
I assume that they aren't -- because you wouldn't have said Max 6 horse-skirmisher/skirmisher if the limit was to 5... unless you were implying that someone might mix horse-based skirmishers with normal skirmishers to come up with the sum of 6? (sorry if the previous sentence is really confusing)

3) When you mentioned the limit on "phalanx" units, I assume that you mean phalangite units with the 'phalanx button' in the game? As opposed to standard Hoplitai Phalanx (the ones that KH is so well known for) that can't actually form up into a 'phalanx' ingame. Please advise.

Thanks for organizing this, antisocialmunky.

1)Most heavy cav is elite but not all.

2)And yeah, the max ha+archer/hs+skirmisher limits are toward those respective missile limits just like before. So you can have 3 HA, 1 Archer, 2 other Cav. or something.

3)Phalangites are the only units that count towards the limit.

Please and thank you!

Nice to see this tournament revived, good rules too!

How could you forget I was on the Arche Seleukeia team?

Is bodyguard included as elite or does everyone have 1 bodyguard excluded from countin?

I hope these rules satisfy people, then we can finally start this!

Well so far in ths tournement, we've been counting the general's bodygaurd as elite. No one gets a free general's unit this time around it seems.

Did anyone want to talk about rules or budget? Since I'm giving Getai weapons bonuses and Celts extra elites, I think that 40K is a good place to stay though 35K-36K might still be better. I'm actually leaning towards 36K right now. Anyways, if you're practicing now, can you test one of the proposed rules like elite#, attack upgrade, and the 40K, 36K, or 35K budgets?

**Apázlinemjó** · 06-23-2009, 12:32

Add me to Pontos please.

**mountaingoat** · 06-23-2009, 12:43

are we going to form teams of some sort(keeping them regional to some extent ... like no romans with sweboz) ?

also is the tournament going to be regional (rome/hellene vs rome/hellene , barb vs barb , steppe vs steppe ) then the top teams from each region ?
