I will join a second section if the first one fills up and there is need of a good punching bag.

I have already joined 3 other sections though and my psyche can only take so many beat downs. :mrgreen:

Around thirty individual reminders have been sent out this morning and an open invitation to new players has been posted in the main forum. Hopefully we can increase the number of players in the tournament over the weekend.

I've put this data into a couple of spreadsheets to see if any super-armies leap out... I've highlighted a few that seem extra-competitive but of course the missing bit is the player and their skill level. A good player can win with an average army.

Nice.

I guess one can fairly safely say that one would be handicapping oneself if one picked an army that scored less than 50%.

But some of the better players like to do that from time to time. It is called "hubris" and they usually revert to a more competitive army in the next season, after having their arse handed to them!

Sometimes of course, they have found a hidden gem and triumph with it. Then, next season, a lot of less skilled players jump on the band-wagon and have their arses handed to them. ;)

Nobody's saying that they should be a "good" army, but if they had some normal medium troops (Thracians, etc.) and/or a couple of superior troops, it would make them more competitive and probably more realistic, if anything (no medium Thracians among the slaves?!). They are fun to play but very difficult to win with.
I would disagree with that comment I have won plenty of times with them although the last patch didnt do them any favour's however int he last League i took too many risks so paid for it plus some rounds of some sad rng however they are effective enough in their own right...better than the Anglo Saxons that's for sure!

Interesting...which armies have you won with them against? I have only played them against Romans and find it very difficult to win against them.

Hi Rex,

The only troops affected by the patch nerf were the "Poorly Armed Rabble", of which the list only allows 2 units anyway.

The "Poorly-Armed Slaves" were in fact unaffected by the patch because they have an impact capability, and therefore do not count as non-combat troops. Hence they are not affected in any way by the nerf.

Any increase in double cohesion drops for the "Poorly-Armed Slaves" that you saw after the patch was due to RNG.

We have enough players to definitely run 3 divisions in Classical Antiquity now. I am going to keep recruitment open and see if we can get more players to form a fourth division. So anyone putting their name down now will have to be considered a provisional entry until the final number of entrants is known. If we get another seven or eight players then the fourth division will go ahead and I will leave recruitment open beyond the 26th deadline so we can fill the last few spaces. There are always late applications to join this tournament.

Re: Just 6 places left for the Themed Event . . .

Post by stockwellpete »

I am getting a bit worried about this section where we still need another 6 players to give us one pool of 16 players. I can run it with 12 players but 16 would be much preferable. So if you are interested in this period and you haven't yet put your name down, could you have a think about it please?
