I'm unsure as to how you retook that city

Good!

Novgorod up. @phonicsmonkey @Zim

Lulled by a false sense of security and distracted with the western front, Novgorod did not pay heed to the catapults we moved in position near Olysta. A third of their entire force lies dead, and the castle has been retaken. Kholm has also fallen to our armies, and two more settlements are under siege.

We are also keeping a close eye on the Danish fleet that is ferrying men back to Scandinavia but shall not attack them unless they sail for the mainland or debark on the island of Visby. We have also noted the lack of response from the unified west. Shall you all ally to keep the order at bay, even as we remove Heretics and do God's good work?

More like "trying to squeeze in his subbing duties between cooking dinner and putting the kid to bed..."

Oh dear, sorry @Zim!

I really need to pay more attention to these turns...

@Myth, @Zim, I retook Dunaberg, also killed the Hochmeister and his cavalry army. It felt good.

[Myth]

The Hochmeister wasn't that important as a general, did you kill the guy who had a catapult in a fort? Also, I figured that trebuceht would be hiding in the woods but I had already submitted the save... Anyway, good fun! :)

Yeah I got the catapult guy too.

The treb wasn't hiding in the woods, I just moved it one fort closer last turn hoping you wouldn't notice. Basically the exact same stunt you pulled on me at Olysta!

[Myth]

I had noticed it gone but I thought it went to recapture that one town with the wooden walls. Ha! This is a fun thing to happen

Yeah - I really like Novgorod, might play them in a new Teutonic game later.

[slysnake]

I'm going on holiday tomorrow for a week - if I am late playing my turn (48 hours) assume I have no internet access, although, apparently, there SHOULD be. In the event I am late playing my turn, I designate @Myth as my sub :)

[Nightbringer]

I should be able to play tomorrow.

[phonicsmonkey]

@Nightbringer, bump?

[Nightbringer]

sorry, I am trying to work out diplomatic stuff before playing the turn. I will post it tomorrow whether I manage to or not though.

[Nightbringer]

With Teutonic ships threatening the Danish coast, and domination of the region by the order approaching, the Danish king has seen no option but to declare war on the Teutonic order.

Furthermore, he encourages all others in the region who value their survival to do the same. The order may be pledging support and friendship now, but they are clearly on a path to becomes unstoppable. Surely you can see that if they capture all of novgorod, they will turn west for further conquest, into the lands of one of us.

@phonicsmonkey @Zim Novgorod up.

NB, you have just signed your own death sentence. Novgorod is all but eliminated, they have one depleted army of note, and that is half full of cav milita. Monkey can't progress further with it and he is bankrupt. This will be a glorious fight, but your two and a half full stacks are not going to be enough. You are not prepared.

disclaimer: I have never played WoW actually.

[Nightbringer]

Meh, show me what you got myth boy!
And in reply to your vid, I say https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXnuxJPKJSM

In actually, you really think 2 1/2 stacks is all I have? LOL!

Plus, its not like things were going to get better for me if I waited.

[Myth]

You have some milita stacks that are basically draining your treasury. The War Clerics and stuff are what counts. The militas can be routed with one careful charge or hit from a siege weapon's flaming ball.

But it's true that waiting for me to finish off Novgorod and leisurely stroll back to the west coast would have been worse. Then again I might have not attacked you. I'm curious if Cecil is joining this madness. Because, if he isn't, you're going to have to get some miracles on your side!

No but seriously, I'd have done the same thing probably. The TO has been topping the charts for a good while now.

[Nightbringer]

Exactly, if I waited, I just would have faced you fully prepared, and I KNOW you would have attacked someone.

[Zim]

Cool, I made it back to the game in time to preside over Novgorod's death. Should have this up tomorrow night.

Edit: Sorry I'm late. Easter weekend has been busy, will get this done.

[Zim]

Ran into something odd. My Teutonic folder doesn't have a saves folder. I thought if I started a game up and created a save the folder would appear, but even having made several saves (and checking that I was able to load them from the game menu) there's still no saves folder.

Anyone know what might be causing this, or whether creating one myself would screw things up given that the saves made in game are apparently being stored somewhere?

[Nightbringer]

just make one yourself, it should work. :)

Or it might be saving them in some odd place, and you can try searching for your save files and seeing where they are.

[Myth]

Sounds like Windows 7 UAC shenanigans to me.

[Rougeman]

perhaps its in 'my documents'?

[Zim]

Nothing in my documents, although I did find saves for another game...

Myth Do you know if there's a fix?

The odd thing is that one of the mods I have does have a saves folder (SS), as does MTW2 vanilla, but not the Kingdoms campaigns or other mods.

@phonicsmonkey If you want to sub or skip my turn go ahead. I don't want to hold people up while I fix this.

[Nightbringer]

did you try just creating a folder called saves?
