Ladies and gentlemen ,
That's my first competition that I've started . Read the rules and if you find it interesting , sign up !





#HOW IT WORKS

-Notes-

Note1 : Deadline is when there 8 participants .
Note2 : You edit your ballot 'til the deadline .
Note3 : If your army doesn't fit with the rules , your name in the participants' list will be red . Else , it'll be green .
Note4 : While battles , armies stand opposite each other .

-Rules-

  • You must sign up first and then post here a ballot . It will contain the composition of your army , the selected civ and its' formation .

  • There can be no more than :
    -40 units total
    -5 imperial units
    -2 heroes
    -15 castle age units
    -10 mounted units
    -15 units of the same kind

  • There can't be spare heroes in the same army .

  • No cheat units can be used .

  • The army's units must be included in just 1 civ techtree .
    E.g. No Chu Ko Nu and Cataphract in the same army

  • You can post your army just once , but if you feel like it has something wrong you can edit it instead of making another one .

  • You must say what is army's formation .
    E.g.Hussars in the front line ; Halebardiers and Man-at-Arms in the second line , etc.

  • The judges cannot control units during the battle . The 2 armies will be separated by 1 tile and the players' personality will be "None" .

  • The players start in dark age , but unique technology is researched with triggers (just of the civ you chose)

    So? Basically we each come up with different armies. Then you'll take our stats and our armies will have to defeat other entrants armies. Just wondering how this works.

    It seems like the winning combination would be 1 Genghis Khan, 1 William Wallace, 5 Elite War Elephants, and 15 monks.

    I posted my army before seeing that the unique technology would be researched with triggers. This probably will not change anything, but just in case, is it okay for me to change my army before the competition actually starts? Is there a deadline for tweaking the army?
    posted 04-16-10 12:42 PM CT (US)     8 / 122  
    Okay, here's my setup.

    Edited Army
    Front Line-10 War Elephants with empty square in center.
    Second Line-Skip
    Third Line-12 M@A's in center with two spearmen on each flank.
    Fourth Line-Skip
    Fifth Line-5 Onagers(spaced one tile apart), with 2 archers on one flank, one on the other with Gengis Khan.
    Sixth Line-Two Magonels and two scorpions spaced one tile apart.
    Seventh Line-Jean de Lorarine

    Civilization-Persians

    Enjoy!!!

    Fixed. Fanica I think you should make a rule stating that we should use two different heroes. It would make it better.

    Fixed . Is there anyone that want to be a judge ?

    Okay Fanica, I just updated my army. If you could change it in the main post then that would be good. My previous army wasn't as good as I thought. This new army soundly defeated Possidons army.

    joshua4missions

    P.S. Could you add in the rules that no army may contain Cobra cars or Furious the Monkey Boy's, Thanks.

    Joshua, please note that the Persians do not get Champion. Mixing war elephants and champions is against the rules, I believe.

    Thanks Barbarossa, just changed them to Siege Onagers.

    I want to use a 13 spaces long army, with my opponents army in the center if he doesn't specify otherwise.

    First line:
    4 spearmen, 5 EWE, 4 spearmen.
    Second line:
    3 spearmen, William Wallice, 5 WE, 4 spearmen.
    Third line:
    Archer, 12 spaces.
    Fourth line:
    Archer, 12 spaces
    Fifth line:
    Archer, spaces, mangonel, space, mangonel, space, mangonel space, mangonel, space, mangonel, space, Genghis Kahn
    Sixth line:
    space, mangonel, spaces, mangonel, spaces, mangonel, spaces, mangonel, spaces, mangonel, 2 spaces.

    To sum up;
    Castle age units (15):
    Five War Elephants (mounted)
    Ten mangonel

    Imperial (5):
    Five Elite War Elephant (mounted)

    Heroes (2):
    Genghis Kahn
    William Wallice

    Other (18):
    Three archers
    Fifteen spearmen

    Edit: I use persians, if you didn't notice.
    Edit 2: Change all Knights to War Elefants. Later when I have time I will fix it in the text. Most likely I will move the elefants around a bit too.
    Edit 3: OK, I changed my setup. Tada!
    Edit 4&5: Is Genghis Kahn mounted or not? Anyway, he is back in the army.
    Edit 6: Changed things around a bit.

    That's a strange way to put it in. "Our house is surrounded by a cloud of thick volcanic ash"!

    You meant the Island's volcano cloud . In Romania didn't arrive yet .

    Still can't update . There'll be 1monk+5onagers+10WarElephants : 16 Castle Age units .

    Does Genghis Khan count as a mounted unit? If so, 5 EWEs and 5 WEs would mean no Genghis Khan.

    And I do agree that it is funny to say "I can't do X because my house is surrounded by a volcanic ash cloud."

    *Begin rant against nature.*
    I hope this dissipates soon, though. It is annoying when one volcano pumps more CO2 into the atmosphere than all automobiles combined since the industrial revolution. What's the point of going green when nature itself pollutes more than mankind ever has?
    *End rant against nature.*

    Thanks for putting this on, Fanica. I think it will be fun.
