    Default Realism RULES - Rome Total War

    These are a new set of rules which I have created and decided to call Realism Rules, I had help from another player about deciding the name sorry cant remember his name

    These rules should make the game more fair, more realistic and have no elite spam. I have found that whenever I have hosted games with these rules they have been very popular and receive good reactions and players actual stick to them as they seem good to stick by.

    MAX of 4 Cavalry this includes the General unit and the Javelin Horse Unit.
    Max of 1 Javelin Horse Unit This unit is considered as part of Cavalry.
    MAX of 4 archer units. This includes horse archers so e.g. 2 horse archers 2 foot archers. Horse archers are not included as cavalry. Cataphract archers are not part of the archer units as they are considered elites. Same to Scythian Noble Archers, so Scythia can have 4 horse archers and 2 Noble Archers.
    MAX of 2 elite Infantry units.(Though most of the time I say No Elites as its more simpler) Example the Romans would be the Urban's and Praetorian units, so you can have 1 urban and 1 prat or two of one unit. The Parthians would be the the Cataphracts. The Seleucid would be the Cataphracts and Silver shields
    Macedon - Royal pikes. Greeks - Spartans. Egypt - Pharaohs Guards. Germania - Chosen Axemen. Spain - Bull Warriors. Pontus - Cappadocian Cav. Gaul - Chosen Swordsmen. Dacia - Chosen Swordsmen. Britannia - Chosen Swordsmen.
    Carthage - Sacred Band. Thrace - Bastarnae. Numida - NO ELITE UNIT
    Scythia - Scythian Nobles Archers*

    Nations with weak infantry units and are mainly based horse factions, their elites would be the Cataphracts. This would be either 2 Cataphract cavalry OR 2 cataphract archers OR 2 Cataphract Camels. If the player has 2 Cata cav and 1+ cata archers or 1+ cata camels he is breaking the rules.
    Armenia, Parthia and Seleucid. For Seleucid you can have 2 cataphracts or 2 silver shields or 1 of each. If he/she has 2 Silvers and 1+ Cataphracts or the other way around he/she is breaking the rules.

    MAX of 4 individual Units ! This I don't normally say because the Money max I normally have for each faction is 12k. But it would be normally up to the Host, if the host just says Realism rules, follow these set of rules unless he/she says you can have more than 4.
    No Berzerkers
    No Chariots
    No Elephants
    No Artillery
    No Red line camping
    No Rebel Faction

    *Javelin foot units are not included in range or infantry units.
    MAX of 1 Dog/Pig unit These units are only allowed 1 unit per faction and are considered as special units by R-Rules. E.g. 1 dog unit 0 Pig unit or 1 pig unit 0 dog unit. more than 1 means that player is breaking the rules :>

    Also the excessive limits on archer units. Scythia and Parthian armies fielded a lot of cavalry and horse archers historically speaking. If anything allowing people to bring all cavalry armies would be more realistic. I would change the name.
