Q1: Does "...Note: the armies in bold text are from those nations that have an exemption from the “one army per nation in each division” rule and they will be allowed two armies in any division. They are the Achaemenid Persians, Carthaginians, Diadochi, Greeks, Romans and Thracians..." mean that in each division there can be two Achaemenid Persian armies, two Carthaginian armies, etc.?
Q2. But still from different time periods then, right? (So not two Carthaginian 262-236 BC armies in the same division, for example?)

Once sections become full I will still want to recruit some reserves for each one, because occasionally players do drop out at the beginning of the season, or they play so slowly that they have to be replaced at one of the two Time Control checks (after 3 weeks and then after 5 weeks). I have divided the vacancy slots according to the divisions so that reserves entering the tournament do so at their appropriate level of skill/experience . . .

Change to army selection procedure update

Some more information is available now regarding the new rule that requires players to pick a different army and allies from season to season in each section that they enter (e.g. if you have used, say, a Roman army with Jewish allies in one section, then you cannot use a Roman or Jewish army or Roman or Jewish allies in that section in the next season.)

There are just a few clarifications needed beyond this basic rule, I think, where nations have several different variations . . .

Classical Antiquity - the Diadochi group of armies count as one "nation" in our tournament, so anyone using, say, Antigonid in one season cannot use another Diadochi army in the next season (there are other pike options available, particularly Pyrrhic, and also now the two earliest Seleucid armies that have been removed from the Diadochi group and they have have a few pike units). Greeks includes Mercenary and Western; and Thracian includes Getae, Hellenistic, Triballi, Hellenistic Getae and Gallic.

Late Antiquity - Hunnic includes Western and Sabir; Dacian includes Dacian Carpi.

Early Middle Ages - Anglo-Saxon includes Continental Saxon; Arab includes Conquest, Umayyad, Abbasid, North Africa and Syria/Iraq; and Viking includes Viking (Ireland).

To give another example to spell it out very clearly - if you pick Arab Abbasid army in one season then that means you cannot use another Arab army in the next season you enter the tournament, either as your main army or as allies. Not Arab Conquest, or Umayyads or whatever. The prohibition is only for one season (unlike LOEG in FOG1 where it was for 3 seasons) so the prohibition has been applied more broadly.

Q: Will you be applying this in full?

A: Yes
