The Tournament of Carthage (Sunday, November 25)

[Mr Longbowman]

Getting your computer fixed is one thing, but worrying about "skill" is another. No one here cares about the skill level of the players. This is a forum tournament for the forumers. We welcome all skills.


Anyway, congratulations on your win! Send me a replay sometime :original:

Well I am doing some seriuos thinking of joining the next Tournament but today is a little bit to soon. I only have been connected to the online world of RTW a couple of days now and its a preatty big jump from SP to MP.

And that battle was not anything special, he just did more stupid things than I did

I played a really long game today, it was at a brigde and they had made a V thing round the brigde and got really many Onagers, nobody wanted to attack so we looked at each other for an hour and then they left

[Prince_of_Macedon]

Sounded like a fun and bloody battle!

Often times, you'll win because you were luckier than the other guy or just made fewer mistakes. Not every battle will be a military classic lol

Do you have BI? The next tourney might be BI.

[Mr Longbowman]

Yes I got BI

Maybe a to short post but anyway it is not much to say

[Evan_2009]

UPDATE: I will play under Evan_2009 as name.

If somone chooses a roman faction will he be allowed ti have late roman legions and such since the war with Carthage was in Romes early stages?

[Prince_of_Macedon]

Yeah, Romans can go full-force which is why I'm giving Carthaginians more points if they beat a Roman.

(thanks for update, Evan)

[Dionysuis of COH]

CHAMPION'S CHOICE VIDEO REPLAY: Prince_of_Macedon vs LeonidasOfSparta (5th Round)



COMMENTS
Nice to see everyone come out for this tourney. The Round 5 game against LeonidasOfSparta was basically a Final since both of us had 3 wins. So whoever won that game would be declared the tourney champion.

Excellent work to Selifator for winning with Carthage against Rome. He earned 1.3 pts for that battle alone.

[Aonghus G. Friedhold]

oh, if only my other computer worked, i would have played. Oh, whoa is me

[LeonidasOfSparta]

[HeroSK]

Congratulations prince,

I am great fan of macedon and phalanxes..also nice video as always.

But please while making videos, some times make the camera higher to see the battle field...

[Prince_of_Macedon]

Congratulations prince, well played m8.

Many thanks! You played the tournament very well too!

thats a good win, whenever i use macedon the superior cavalry of rome gets me i'll see about playing in the next tourney, been a while and i need to win a single player one this time

Thanks! And yes, if the awesome Roman horses don't get you, the awesome infantry will - double-whammy from the Romans!

Hey, you always win battles - what are you talking you about? lol

Congratulations prince,

I am great fan of macedon and phalanxes..also nice video as always.

But please while making videos, some times make the camera higher to see the battle field...

Thank you, fellow Macedonian!

By the way, I purposely kept the camera low for this battle. I was experimenting to see if the ground-level filming would make it a more visceral experience for the viewers.

Also, I figured that since most people play from the bird's eye view, they'll appreciate it more if I let them watch the action close-up.

[Selifator]

Well, I'm glad I participated again. I sure missed the competition and it was great to win with carthage! Hope that the next comes asap

[_TubbZ_]

Lol i meant a tourney Congraz again
