600 BC World Cup - CLOSED

Switched to 216 BC - separate thread

I could stomach a random army for a single match as in Chaos Tourney, but I would be loath to play a whole tourney with one I hadn't picked myself.

I'm interested, I'm in. But I think it should be 1600 points, for the period. Also, allow each player to choose an army, even if they repeat.

You can't have an army used more than once! Maybe I should change the date though, or make it a wider range of dates to give more choice.

We could extend to classical and imperial times

As it stands, you only have 19 options if you stick with a 600 BC date, which gives players almost no leeway in picks.

If you extend the list earlier to 800 BC, you end up with 23 armies to choose from, which still isn't many if you plan on a field of 16.

If you additionally extend the list later to 500 BC, you net 33 armies which is twice what you need, so less likely for folks to run out of alternative options.

I want it to be a specific year. Now I'm thinking about 218 BC

[deeter]

Make it 216 BC and Carthage can have a decent army.

Done. If you go back in time in four year chunks 216 BC would have been a World Cup year
