Hopefully the games will have more English than Russian. :razz:

[Fastfudov_USSR]

now we have 53\60 reg. players

Proceedings of the tournament:
Players get random faction. They are divided into groups. It look like this:
Total 64 players. Total fractions of: 16. It turns out exactly 4 groups of 16 persons. For E.X. If the players will be 75, get 5 groups of 15 players. They play each with each 1 time. 5 players in each gruop proceed to the next round . Player are mixed and formed the same number of groups (as it was in the beginning), but for 5 people. Again, playing each other. 1 player from each group proceed to the final round. In the final, 5 players play each other 1 time.

Factions and money:
Egypt 12500
Britain 12500
Pont 13000
Seleucids 13500
Arm 13500
Parthia 13500
Rome 13500
Carthage 13500
Macedonia 14000
Greece 14500
Scythia 14500
Germany 15500
Thrace 15500
Spain 15500
Numidia 15500
Dacia 15500

[TheSteelGeneral]

I like the idea of different money for different factions.

[Galvanized Iron]

I like the idea of different money for different factions.
Yeah I think they have overrated Britain though...

[Roam]

Its a good idea. Hope i get a skirmisher

[Galvanized Iron]

I hope I get Greece, Dacia or Thrace, if I get Scythia I'm gonna puke...

[TheSteelGeneral]

Scythia. Those headhunting bitches make me horny :twisted::twisted::twisted:

[Roam]

i love scythia...

egy though, that'd be a nightmare

[Galvanized Iron]

Ever noticed how all the Russian clans always go for chariot factions? And here in the tournament all the factions that have been considered superior and assigned the least money are chariot factions, hmmm... I seriously doubt Egypt, Britons or Pontus will be able to put up much fight against Greeks or Carthage when these have a significant denarii advantage.

[Sword_01]

Scythia. Those headhunting bitches make me horny :twisted::twisted::twisted:

:afraid::afraid::afraid::

they ned 6 more players atm


i dont mind which faction as long as its not pontuse

[TheSteelGeneral]

I have registered. I must be going senile. :laugh: :laugh:

[Drakedeath]

I'm fine with any faction that's not a chariot faction

Paullus? Played him yesterday, wasn't that dangerous, he got a good faction though.

[Roam]

Iron;14734']Paullus? Played him yesterday, wasn't that dangerous, he got a good faction though.

i noticed Zeke was in my group...ummm i don't know much about which players are good...should i be worried?

[Roam]

I beat iskender-spain...i also lost to Joker with seleucia though...

[Drakedeath]

Edit: Nevermind, misread it.

In other news, I doubt I'll make it to round 2 of this tourney :P

[Roam]

My parents just cost me a game...

I really needed to beat armenia...

[Drakedeath]

Sucks. I've lost a (thankfully not a tourney) game because Viagra found my Skype and spammed me with info on Viagra and other enhancement medicines.

[Roam]

Hmmm

Its probably not fair to blame them, i let myself become irritated at a key moment. Oh well tourney isn't over. I can pick up points elsewhere.

Got a good start to my tournament at least, won against Mithridates, I was expecting to lose since he was Pontus.

Scythia counters Pontus anyway, doesn't it?

dont be so sure about it

[Sword_01]

well i just lost to
PK WARHAWK
he had pontus i had scythia
for some reason his sycthes took ages to rout or i couldve one that game
oh welll..............

[Galvanized Iron]

Not if the Pontus player tries to overwhelm you.


Lost second one, but it was against Egypt so it's acceptable and it wasn't a crushing defeat, anyone have any ideas for how to counter chariots that cant be amoked when playing Scythia?

[Roam]

hehehe i beat warhawk with thrace...well after i'd refined my tactics.

Hm, did you save a replay? You can also upload the log files.

[Roam]

no i don't think i saved a replay.

log files? Explain

[Galvanized Iron]

All MP battles are saved under "Rome/Logfiles/", used that one time in our internal tourney when the game crashed before I could take a screenie.

[Galvanized Iron]

Do you have the steam version? Take a screenshot of what's inside your Rome folder, could be that yours is different.

it could work

me + DC were talking bout it

[Roam]

I lost to egypt....egypt ffs!

I cannot do numidia.

[Galvanized Iron]

2 wins and 1 loss now, when is the deadline?

[Roam]

I actually won a game.

see eagle, random rushing does work!

[Drakedeath]

Damn nice. What'd you do, bum rush him?

[Drakedeath]

I lost to Spain. Fml.

I wasn't expecting a cavalry rush straight into my loose formation legions. Sent the center of the battle into hell while his missiles ran off after a unit of Numidian Cavalry. It was so crazy that neither of us won the cav fight. They all routed except the Numidians that were chased around.

I'm screwed.

[Roam]

Damn nice. What'd you do, bum rush him?

i wasn't expecting to win so i thought hell, lets lose in style. So i kinda brought maxed camels and numidian legionaires and then rushed him.

Thing is he brought a skirmish army, so when i rushed him, he threw his cav at my numidians to save his archers and then my camels charged at them, routing them.

[Galvanized Iron]

Yeah I used rush with Scythia to win against Parthia, my entire army consisted of 6 HHM and 2 Scythian Lancers pumped up with as many upgrades as I could afford :laugh:

[Agamemnonas]

its a bit risky but can work

[Eagle]

Never said it was impossible.
