    I seem to remember this happened to me and I had to disable UAC in order to see the saves folder, which was stored not in Programs but in a different directory called Programs(x86) or something, which is where the UAC had created a virtualstore

    bump... just curious if any further progress has been made as to the whereabouts of the mysterious vanishing save-game folder? :)

    Teutons! @Myth http://www.sendspace.com/file/7aoz9i

    The Polish Grand Duke stands to speak, his face solemn and grave:

    "With the recent aggression against my allies the Teutons and requests from both the Danes and Holy Romans to join the war against them, we have been forced to act. I cannot simply stand by and let my ally fall at your land-grabbing hands. You had already positioned armies on my borders in case I declined your request to join the war, but to save you the effort I have already done that for you. Last time I check the Danes and their minuscule navy were last seen scurrying off to the North somewhere whilst the Holy Roman forces who were on my border have now fled south - probably to seek cover in their fortress there. May God side with the best man - good day to you both!"

    Novgorod up. @Zim @phonicsmonkey

    The Novgorodian Grand Duke and his army have been massacred while camping in a fort.

    A unified Teutonic fleet has won the battle versus the formidable dragon boats of the Danes, ultimately sinking the west wing of their navy along with the army aboard it, and scuttling the east wing due north in full retreat. That Danish pirate can't move next turn.

    I like how things are turning out so far.

    A good but rather uneventful turn. The Danish army in those two ships has been surrounded. If you can't beat that blockade of 5 ships, I will move my navy into one and attack your guys. I'm using the surround only to stop you from fleeing or attacking my coast this turn.

    Novgorod up.

    Depends how many crewmen are on each ship. But in sea battles you can sometimes win even with 1:3 disadvantage (balance of power counts - so more crew + better stats).

    The autocalc mechanic for sea battles is very unreliable. However, I've had this happen several times, both to me and against my own ships, without any loading. Sometimes the game just sinks the ships.

    @Cecil XIX I'm not sure that this is the correct thread for yours save mate.

    Armies? The one besieging Novgorod should have been out of your reach. All my other stacks that can be called "armies" are either in a fort or protected by forts and way out of your reach. The one I really care about is in a fort at the coast, but you should not have stacks within reach of that with catapults.

    There was a small one not in a fort on the coast, and my cavalry was in reach of Novgorod :)

    Ah, that one. You beat my 5 ships then?

    I figured you wouldn't try to beat spearmen with cav. Especially OS. Plus I had no way to plop down a fort without leaving the spearmen without a general. Then Novgorod could have sallied.

    Hah, I wouldn't normally boast, but given your numbers advantage... I think I only lost about 10 light horsemen in that battle. :) Also, I didn't have to beat all five ships. Although I could have, but I didn't want to risk leaving my other ships out in the open like that.
