Kingdoms-Teutonic hotseat

[Ferret]

Yes I'm starting up another one this may seem ambitious but I really did it for the people who did not get into the last one,
Here are the factions:

The Teutonic order - Tristan de Castelreng
Lithuania - Doug_Thompson
Novgorod - Zim
The Holy Roman Empire - Elite Ferret
Denmark - Deguerra
Poland - PerfectOne
Mongols - phonicsmonkey

Tristan de Castelreng	Teutonic Order	1
Zim	Novgorod	2
Elite Ferret	HRE	3
Deguerra	Denmark	4
phonicsmonkey	Mongols	5

The rule on turn times:
48hrs to play your turn or give me a reason why you need longer,
then I have 24hrs to find a replacement giving them an extra 48hrs to play it,
if I don't find a replacement the turn will be skipped to avoid slowing down the game.

[Stig]

Seeing that this thing takes no time at all (I expected it would cost me more time). And since MP is better than SP (I hate SP normally):


I'll be Lithuania, since I've no idea what it's like.

[Ferret]

okay but remeber that this is for the ppl hu didnt get into the last 1, I may pull out if its popular

[Ferret]

also do you have any requests on rules - I think we should do things a little bit differently this time

[_Tristan_]

Count me in as the Poles (I'm of Polish descent...)

[Ferret]

okay but remember this is supposed to be for ppl who didnt get into the crusades one so if a lot of new ppl want to join I may move things around a bit (although this is unlikely)

[_Tristan_]

No problem...

[Stig]

okay but remeber that this is for the ppl hu didnt get into the last 1, I may pull out if its popular

They can always make their own one, you don't have to initiate every game yourself.
If enough people are around someone else can start a game with everyone not in this one.

[Ferret]

yh I know tht (I dnt think im the god of hotseat lol) its just that the ppl hu expressed interest just seemed to wonder off after they found out it was full

[Proletariat]

I agree Bob, if one of the people who posted in our game thread wants in and there's no room, I'll give up my spot and just join whatever next kingdoms pbm starts.

[Boyar Son]

Ah! when does it start?

I still dont have kingdoms

I dont expect you guys to wait, but if you do ( ) count me in as Tuetons (playable?) if not then Novgorod.

[Husar]

I could take the Teutonic Order since I'm a big fan of these guys, sort of.

But I wouldn't mind being thrown out or so either.

[Ferret]

Husar can have the Teutons if he has the game already and sorry cossack but we will start once all factions are taken, but when you get the game I'll still be interested in doing one with you if you start one up

[Husar]

I bought the game on release day.

[Ferret]

well if some more players don't sign up soon then I'm going to start up this camapaign if that is alrite with everyone

[Proletariat]

How bizarre. All that interest disappeared from people who couldn't get in our game, so four out of six spots ended up being players from the same game. Maybe a quick few PMs to some of the interested folks to see if Novgorod will be taken. If not, let's get it rolling.

[Ferret]

I've already Pm'd everyone who expressed interest in the last one and the ones who bothered to reply either said they didn't have the game or the time. I'll start it up tommorow morning probably.

[_Tristan_]

Fine with me but I'm not sure I'll play able to play during the WE

[pevergreen]

Bah, the promise of dealing some hard butt-kickings in is order.

I'll take the last faction. I'll have to check them out though, havent played that one yet..

As long as they have Dismounted Knights

[Ferret]

okay I will start it up now here is the list of factions and the save no. (same as on the crusades)

Teutonic Order	Husar	1
Lithuania	Stig	2
Novgorod	pevergreen	3
HRE	Bob_the_great	4
Denmark	Proletariat	5
Poland	Tristan de Castelreng	6

Mongols-MOSH007-7

the saves will work exactly the same as last time so for Stig's 3rd turn he will download the file 'Teutonic-3-2' and upload it as 'Teutonic-3-3' for pevergreen to download. (the first number is turn no. and the second no. is the player number)

Husar is up first here: http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/Tetonic-1-1.sav

[Husar]

Ok, you just had to start it on the weekend I'm visiting my parents, didn't you?

I'll see if I can get around to it later today but otherwise I'm afraid you'll have to wait till tomorrow evening when I'm back in my appartement.

And if I understand that correctly, I'll play a turn, hit end turn, then save the game and upload the savegame, right?

[Ferret]

yes, after you press end turn it will come up asking theh next faction to insert their password, you just press escape and save it in the format I explained earlier. Don't worry if you can't play your turn soon, there's no rush

[pevergreen]

Ok I want to make a few things clear.

Player to Player Diplomacy has to be agreed on?

Are there any limits on what you can do (ie Must Declare war, then after a turn do it?)

Player vs Player battles auto-resolved, what about Player vs AI

[MOSH007]

Dear Bob,

First thanks for the invitation and sorry for the late answer. I've been out of home for some days reason why i didi not answer before.
I was going to accept,,,but i see that you already started whit all factions assigned to a players. is that true?

[pevergreen]

unless we mod it to add in the unplayable factions found in it, yes

[Ferret]

there pretty much are no rules other than the ones the game sets. All battles will be autresolved including player vs AI, the console is disabled and passwords are used. Diplomacy can be in game, through PMs or posted publicly here, in fact I encourage scheming behind peoples backs using PMs.

Sorry MOSH but if you really want to join you have three options;
1. I could mod the game to make the Mongols or Norway playable
2. I, or some other kind soul, will drop out allowing you to have our faction or
3. You, or me if you'd prefer, could start up an entirely new hotseat which I'm sure will fill up quickly.

[pevergreen]

If modding is too difficult to do, (i would go norway) I will drop out, as MOSH was asked first.

[Ferret]

actaully you asked before MOSH but I think it is simple enough to mod the mongols and Norway into the game (I'm not too sure about Norway because Proletariat will want to form the union of Kalmar) and no-one will be forced to drop out, and if anyone does need to it will be me becuase I am already involved in 2 other hotseats.

[MOSH007]

I would love to participate with themongols but didi i got it right:
"...All battles will be autresolved including player vs AI..!
but this takes the all fun of the compaign ?!

[Stig]

Otherwise it ain't fair. MP campaigns are all about the strat map, no battles are fought
