I know everyone is practicing but I'm surprised no one has played a game yet.

I never see anyone online when I logon. :(

[antisocialmunky]

I'm actually on :0p right nao.

[tsidneku]

And I'm still at work.

Here's game two. Obviously the Getai Shock ball does not work against a deep defense so I had to go hybrid steppe(you don't have to announce steppe anymore, I'll check the rules to see if I got that.)

And yes, I'm going to count with smilies. BTW- I think we should increase the heavy cav designation to > Very Well Armored. Medium cav is somewhat lacking...

[NeoSpartan]

...Medium cav is somewhat lacking...

depends on what faction you are playing with... Mak, KH, Bactria, Pontus, AS, Ptolemoi, Hyasdan (sp), Parthia, Saka, have access to several types of medium cavarly. Some of them are very good.

Polybian Romani and Marian also have decent medium cavarly... and Leuges Epos (sp) are pretty decent too.

I agree, because if someone checks up Pontos, we have medium cavalry, but we can't use them as they are classed as heavy cavalry by the rules.

[option]

Yeah, I think there should be a definite category for medium cavalry. Cappadocians and Medians are quality cavalry if you use them right, but there's no chance of them performing devastating cataphract-esque charges, so them and their ilk should be freed up by the rules.

[antisocialmunky]

They are already freed. They don't have lances, just overhand spears. The problem is the high-end medium or low-end heavy cavalry where the line gets blurred. Both types ahve 4 lance attack.

Thracian Prodromoi are medium but they are classified as heavy.

Okay...

I think that the line might be better drawn at less than 3050 mnai, less than 5 lance attack, and fast. That pretty much seperates low end heavies(Roman Cav) and high end Mediums(Lochrophoroi).

[The Celtic Viking]

Please give me my murderous Gauls: the Arverni.

[Megas Ycarus]

I'm going to honor the Golden Eagle and join as the Romani.

[antisocialmunky]

Wrong thread.

[Lazy O]

Sign me up as the new Pyrrhos of Epeiros ive changed my mind .(my precious entry was as the getai, but i didnt see my name in the list)

[Kival]

Because this is the thread from 2009, not 2010.

[Ludens]

Because this is the thread from 2009, not 2010.

I am closing this thread to prevent more confusion. The august 2010 thread is here.

None wants to lose the General. Lawl.

[antisocialmunky]

You could probably put them on a cheap unit right next to the map border if you're really that concerned.

[m0r1d1n]

ok... so i guess this would be the first tourney battle....

moridin(KH) vs ASM(getai)...apollo blessed our shields and a victory to the greeks

it was a real close game...gg to ASM

http://www.gigasize.com/get.php?d=8j7lmotpobc

we had another tourney match after this...ASM truly beat me in that...and yes my spartan general died in combat..proud of him...gg to ASM again

so i guess my high score is 1...
and my score reset to 0.

looking forward to more matches...
