EB Online Tourney: July 2010 - Special Anniversary Edition

UPDATE: Rules had some problems. There are no more elite restrictions. Bring elites to the battle at your own financial detriment. Also, steppe armies can only field 4 phalanx units now. They also are required to bring a minimum of 4 infantry (new) and a maximum of 10 (as before). The steppe cavalry limit has now been increased from 10 to 12.

What about the Romani?

Good point. Prevents Elite Cav and Inf (e.g. Triarii, Extraordinarii) spam. I'll need the community's help for that, because even though we're looking for fun, we can't have Triarii spam just because the money allows for it. Any suggestions? There are 20 slots in a full army. How many can be used for elites maximum for the SPQR? (Although discriminatory, I ask because as you all know, all other nations, if fielding 6 elites, have barely half their budget left to fill in the other 14 slots.)

Maybe 3 elite inf and 1 elite cav?

What about 8 including the general's bodyguards (if the player buys them) and the heavy cavalry (early cavalry units are bad and quite expensive)?

Of course I will join. It is my pleasure to decimate every foe who puts up a fight.

I will probably play my beloved Romani or my unbeatable Arche Seleukeia.

I'll decide when time permits, Seleukeia Victrix!

I'll be the requisite KH punching bag. Go Go 2 Cav armies!

UPDATE: 8 elites max rule. Only applies to SPQR. See which units are elite by viewing the Factional Unit Lists on the EB Online site. 8 elites restriction includes cav and inf, but still is under the over-arching restriction umbrella (e.g. 5 cav max, etc.).

P.S. Eagerly awaiting your choice of faction Fluvi. Remember: Before the beginning of July.
