@Antisocialmunky

Great list, ASM,

I have one doubt about Syrian Archers (I mentioned that some time ago):
Cohors Sagittariorvm Levantinorvm

their stats are those of Kretikoi Toxotai - who are elite:
- they have a lot of arrows, shooting very long range and effective from their powerful eastern bows. They also wear lorica armor, which makes them very well protected against opposing archers (for example Numidian archers who are quite good are just torn away by them), and on top of that, thanks to their powerful stats (plus armor) they stand well against cavalry so after shooting out all arrows they are decent auxilia infantry. So why they are not elite?

Of course they are elite.

According to the list - no (as of yet).

What the hell is the point of making a new post to direct to an editted post?

Sorry in advance if this has been answered already, ASM.

Just to make sure that I have the idea down completely, we can play whomever we like as many times as we like? As long as we post the match replay/results onto the thread? Are there going to be 'match-ups'?

Thanks for all the time and effort that you are putting into organizing this, ASM.

Just play whoever you want. If they are tired of getting beaten by you, then they should stop playing you.

At the end of this, we'll have a winning faction with the most wins - losses and an individual winner who has the highest individual wins - losses. We can also have a biggest LULZ award, best battle, etc if we want afterwards.

@Guys - I'll make the heavy archers elite since since people seem to have issues with heavy archers. The only ones that will be limitted are the Syrian-type heavily armored archer that sit a rung above the Persian Heavy archer. Basically, archer 1337ness is determined by how well they do in a missile duel.

PS. Vartan PMed me the Hayasdan Unit List. If anyone want to submit a certain unit as a restricted or factional, PM me or post.

I will open the rooms and start the replay report thread tomorrow.

P.S. Jack, my friend, I just wanted to let you know that when you say, "I'm going to approve the Kinsmen Heavy Cavalry since Hay gets that Persian Empire reform," it is actually true that you can recruit Kinsmen heavies before the reform. I've a high enough level factional MIC that lets me recruit them, and I have not done reforms yet.

Your pal,
V

The Online Tournament is OPEN!!

I had to say it. It is the 1st of July. (sorry antisocialmunky)

Happy Gaming!

THE TOURNEMENT HAS STARTED.

I'm going to go open the new thread.

PS. Evocata are no longer considered elite, just high end professional. Other units that aren't elite have this status like Thorakitai and other veteran type units.
