FAQ

1.

Round one will 'begin' on the 27th, but are we allowed to play our game on the 28th?

Good question. You are allowed 1 day (The 27th) to play your match for that round. We will announce brackets the next day which will give you time to practice the map picked and to contact your opponent.

2.

What will I win when I win it

Rep and medals from the site.

3.

the day of the games are fixed but the times have to be negotiated between the players?

Exactly, as soon as we release the brackets you should contact your opponent.

4.

live stream?

Not by us, but individuals may stream if they wish it so.

5.

in. my steam id: ragnarokhuscarl

This is a good example of what not to do. I have already given an example above.

Sigh me up! I'm on holiday and can't really do anything until 23rd

[Lionheartx10]

I'll probably get schooled having never played MP Rome II, but nonetheless I'm in!

[Noif de Bodemloze]

Important! Remember check updated rules!

I have a few suggestions regarding the ruleset:

- Firstly, I would strongly suggest allowing more than 3 cavalry and 4 missiles. From my experience, something like max 6-8 cav and skirmishers works best, since otherwise gameplay will be very static and boring. Furthermore, limiting cavalry and missiles to such an extent would severely limit the viability of several factions (Pontus, Baktria, Parthia, etc.)

- I would recommend making a max 1 chariot rule as well, since chariots can still be insanely powerful.

- A max 6 cap on the same unit card is used in most TW tournaments to prevent spamming and make gameplay more interesting.

- I would recommend having a pool of flat maps to choose from rather than allowing people to choose their own maps. This is to ensure that no one has an unfair advantage (e.g. having a massive hill in their deployment zone).

- Artillery is banned in virtually every TW tournament because it just promotes camping.

Will take a second look and discuss with Noif now. Thank you for the feedback!

1. We will gonna make changes to those unit limits on cavalry.

2. We can set 1 limit for Chariots as like we did for elephants.

3. Good idea, I have not think about it. Like we don't want to see "15 pretorians"

4. Pool of maps we are planned with Bunny and we will release those maps for you all, before we start matches. TIP: We will gonna play in flat maps where is no much advantage for both side if you wanna make practice match before tournament. Each round have own map, so everyone have same map except in Grand final and bronze match. Grand Final map will be surprise!

5. "May it happen" "Banhammer for artillery"
