RAT RTW tournament? - Praefectusclassis - 03-01-2005

So how many RAT-ers play Rome Total War and fancy themselves good tacticians?<br>
Would it be fun to organize a little tournament? With the realism mod or without it? Set armies? <p>Greets<br>

Re: RAT RTW tournament? - Thiudareiks Flavius - 03-01-2005

I've never tried any online gaming with RTW. I tried using that 'GameSpy' thingy to use MTW online and gave up - not exactly intuitive!<br>
<br>
But I'd be keen to give it another try to battle my Germanics against any Romans who care to take me on. But please - if we do this let's make it a 'Rome: Total Realism' tournament only. I can't bring myself to go back to those silly wardogs and screeching women. <p><p>

I suppose we could do that, or just make rules that say: No silly units! <p>Greets<br>

RTW tournaments - Tarbicus - 03-02-2005

I haven't even installed it yet, but I'd definitely be interested once I figure out how to play it. I believe there's a fair number of morons on the general RTW online servers calling people 'noob' etc if they lose or just started. I'm sure you lot wouldn't do that Would you? <p></p><i></i>


Re: RTW tournaments - Praefectusclassis - 03-02-2005

No, no, of course not. Maybe the final victor would be allowed one post on RAT to gloat in, but that'll be all! <p>Greets<br>

Jasper, that's cool. In fact, I think the vanquished should have to proclaim how great the victor was in a thread Or they wait at least a week before participating again But if anyone screams 'noob' (the ultimate online insult usually spoken by a 'nob') they should have to wait 2 weeks <p></p><i></i>


Re: RTW tournaments - Thiudareiks Flavius - 03-03-2005

I think we should hold a virtual triumph for the victor.<br>
<br>
Anyone using teenie game-lamer terms like 'noob', 'owned' or 'pwned' will be dragged behind the victor's chariot in chains and then strangled in the depths of the Mamartine Prison, as is traditional.<br>
<br>
I downloaded GameSpy, but for some reason I can't get it to recognise the ID I set up for it ... *wanders away grumbling*<br>

Do you have a favourite server to play it on? If so, you may be able to join it directly at the server's IP address from a shortcut to the game on your desktop. At least you can with Call Of Duty, so it may be possible. I can post how to do it if the above applies and you're not sure.<br>
<br>
I used to use Gamespy, but gave up once I'd figured out the best servers to play on. <p></p><i></i>


Re: RTW tournaments - Catiline - 03-07-2005

I'm up for it as and when i get a broadband connection - which should be 2 weeks or so <p></p><i></i>


Re: RTW tournaments - Anonymous - 03-23-2005

I'm up for this! And yes, lets use RTR. Which version will we be using? The latest? I'm still using 5.2, only because I haven't finished my campaign. Oh and what settings too? The largest? I'll need a new video card for that. <p></p><i></i>


Re: RAT RTW tournament? - Praefectusclassis - 02-12-2006

It never got off the ground. Time to see who is still up for it. And instead of just gloating, perhaps we could throw in a RAT T-shirt for the winner? Or, of course, a new medal to sport on RAT?


Re: RAT RTW tournament? - Susanne - 02-12-2006

I'm in provided that we play on RTW with the 1.5 patch (I don't have RTR and in order to install it I have to re-install RTW and BI, then make two separate backups as RTR is run on 1.2, I think).

Does anyone use the SPQR mod, by the way?

If we are to play it on RTW vanilla, I would like to propose the following settings (these were used in some major tournaments):

Map: Grassy Flatland (any flat non-desert map will do)
Season, time of the day: Summer, midday.

Denarii level: 12,500 denarii.
Units: Max 6 per unit (i.e. max 6 triarii, max 6 Roman archers, max 6 hastati etc.)
Max 8 total cavalry (horse archers, chariots, cavalry, camelry, elephants (max 2 elephants).
Fire arrows allowed.
Cantabrian Circle allowed.

How's this sound?


Re: RAT RTW tournament? - Casmin - 03-23-2006

Well, I'm up for playing some RTW. Anyone still interested?


Re: RAT RTW tournament? - Praefectusclassis - 03-23-2006

Sure


Re: RAT RTW tournament? - Titus Martius - 03-23-2006

Indeed!
