    One of the members at the Rome Total War Heaven forum is hosting a A-TW tournament. Since General Chaos hosted a tournament and it attracted a couple of people, I thought that there might be some interest for it.

    I've already joined, and it looks to be good, so if you feel like it, put your name forward. We have four there, but the more the merrier

    Well, the Alexander event took place. 5 people were due - unfortunately Chaos couldn't make it, and then Selifator suffered technical problems, so there were just the 3 of us. But we got 2 Historical Battles and 2 Custom Battles done, which is a lot more Alexander: TW than it's normally possible to get. I'm going to do a Commentary video of at least 1 of those battles.

    I only stayed long enough to play in the first 2v1 Hydaspes battle, but it was very fun, and thanks to all who came.

    Here I have uploaded battle videos of the 2 custom battles I fought in the Alexander get-together, with voice-commentary on tactics.

    Very nice victories and good job on the commentaries. I made a lot of mistakes and I also learned a lot as I have played Rome very little online. I especially like the comment about my HAs on the Dahae game. I was going to try to take Alexander out while you weren't looking as revenge unfortunatly my plot was foiled!

    I was glad to get the games - it's hard to find anyone to play ALX.

    I might do the Hydaspes Historical the 3 of us did too.

    I dig your account - your name is Kardakes, your avatar is an Immortal, and because you only have one post on TWC so far your forum "rank" is listed as "Peasant" immediately beneath. From a TW perspective that is seriously confusing!

    Hi Men

    I tried to join but all the games show as incompatible..
    I have 1.3 and 1.5 installed then Alx.
    Are there any other patches I need?

    Thx, John

    PS: Found the problem ---no one is playing Alx.

    Yes, you need to schedule a pre-arranged match with someone or challenge them on x-fire. Same goes for BI, usually. That was the purpose of this Alexander get-together this thread is concerned with.

    Well, you can always pm one of the people from this tournament since they have Alex.

    Quite right, I suppose you could say I'm in something of an identity crisis. Anyways I like Total War Center at least a lot more than Total War Heaven I think I'll stay. At any rate you can be sure that I'll host another Alexander game sooner or later.
