Tournament 9000/30

[Flak]

Hello Gang, this is the 1st draft of the July Tournament ruleset for 9000/30

Ive based this system on the popular 5k/15, expected to work in much the same way.
Mika's system is a good idea but it is very limited in the *2 and *3 level, which limits the different costs, 5k/15 had a very specific pts cost system and it worked very well.
The tournament will run the same way as the 5k/15 did.

Up to 3 of the same is allowed however cost will increase, levels 1-4 will be available, each level over 1 will have an additional cost to the basic 3 level 1 units cost, armor is also allowed but cost only gold.
So the first level 2 cannon will cost 3 pts and the 2nd level 2 will cost 4 pts.
A level 3 Bright Mage will cost 6 pts
When you buy 3 units, then you may only buy 3 regardless of how many different levels, and the higher level units counts as the first.
If you buy 3 skeleton horsemen, 1 lvl 2, 1 lvl 4 and 1 lvl 1. Then it will cost like this: 6/3/2 because the lvl 4 being highest level goes first (3+3), lvl 2 cost 3 (2+1) and lvl 1 cost 2.
and so on and so forth

One major difference in 9000/30 with levels that help to balance the game is the high cost of higher level units
like level 4 boar boyz cost over 7680 gc, many high level troops will ever only be possible to use once due to the gold cost. something that will help to keep a place in the game for the "small" units like goblins, swordsmen and zombies who otherwise could easily lose their usefulness in the game and that would be a shame, as it adds to the flavor to have as many diverse army builds as possible.

Go try it out
and any comment is welcome

Really nice work, thank you. Let's hope, that it will proof its value in the tournament.

Perhaps you could add the Ruleset to the Wiki?

[Flak]

i would but i have no clue about html stuff

[bembelimen]

No need for HTML

Take the code from the 5000/15 ruleset and create your own page there.

[olly]

Nice work and greatly appreciate the effort,

should make for some good Battles.

[Kypper]

Looks great. I'm gonna try a few lists...

[Mikademus]

Since this ruleset does not use the core/rare/unique rules, perhaps it should be named something else, or my original 9000/30 rules should be renamed (Like to 9000/CORE30, if this set is considered the "plain" 9000/30)?

In either case, I do hope that you update my original old rule set suggestion with the unit point costs you reach!

[DjLeBomb]

Good, i haven't test the points yet so i don't make any observation about it, the only thing that make me some noise was: "popular 5k/15"  ? I was talking with Bembe a week ago i think, about making another 5000 tourny on the future to test the latest changes and see if we could make it stable, but now i wonder if that was acomplished already 

About the name of the ruleset i think that the one that you sketched Mika could change to be finished in a future because explore another way of armys creation. I suggest TTS 9000 (for Table Top Style), but just an idea.

Last but not least; the idea is the same as with all the gold/points sets? one army of each race that cannot be changed on the course of the event?

Ok I played a little bit arround with the rules and moved them. Dark Omen Rules. Now Flak can add his ruleset here: 9000/30.

Wights                                             2/3/4 (level 2) +2 (level 3) +3

Wights are level 3 or 4, not 2.

The data in the new 9000/30 article is in serious need of tabulation love and some caring descriptions.
