All,

In the rules for LoEG it reads, in part: "Each season players are not allowed to reselect an army list they have chosen in a previous season until they have played 5 different lists with each list originating from a different nation."

I'd like to get a bit of discussion going around the impact of the "different nation" part and intent.

I get it that we really don't want people running a sequence of armies like: Dominate Romans and Principate Romans. And I think it could be argued that these are very similar armies and the intent is to encourage players to run a variety of armies. So selecting these two armies goes against both the letter and intent of the LoEG "nations rule".

But on the other hand, a couple of my favorites occur within one period...the Early Achaemenid Persians and the Late Achaemenid Persians. Personally I find these two armies to be very different. The EAP army is characterized by the Immortals, Armoured Hoplites, and a limited (8) number of Bow/Sword, Armoured Cav. The LAPs don't have the Immortals, can only get Protected Hoplites, and can buy every LS/Sword, Armoured Cav that lived (but no Bow/Sword, Armoured Cav). These are very different armies, but my interpretation of the "nations rule" is that one can't run these two armies in five seasons.

On the other hand, I think the successor states conform to the letter of the rule. That is the Isos Alliance Successor, Macedonian Successor, Ptolemaic Successor, and Seleucid Successor would technically all be "different nations" -- but these armies are not very different. In fact, they bear a close resemblance to the Later Alexandrian Macedonian. So someone could make five seasons off of these armies and really just change costumes.

Comments?

I agree, but I think one should not rely on some technicality, just embrace the meaning of the rule. I.e. try your hardest to play with different kind of armies, and not to choose a same same but different one just because it's what you're best at. (Not referring to any one person in particular.)
