View Full Version : HOTSEAT - Broken Crescent 3
Broken Crescent 3 HotSeat. Now Looking for Players
CURRENT PLAYERS INTERESTED : 16 possibly filled
I just finished the Final Save, Every faction is very well developed. It only took me 26 hours of testing and redoing...... *Head bangs on wall*
I am having my final save prelooked at by 3 different people to make sure that this is fair.
The Game year is 1184.
No Plauges are detected.
Each faction as a strong point somewhere. Some how.
Looking for Players now.
48 Hour Normal Timelimit for players.
I am looking for a full game. AI will ruin the game.
I see more of people's friends, that's a good thing, but the other thing I don't want to see is any actions based in the game due to OOC between people. Remember. The Game is Diplomacy IC, not OOC. :O
Well guys, I've been reading on the two Broken Crescent hotseat games, They are both very interesting, I had an idea though to make this game more... Player to player interactive? I have a possible game of 16 players, thing is though, No rebels, Each of the 16 nations will have 10-12 settlements. Each having ballanced of each. With that saying, Each nation will have ALOT of possible allies or enemies at there borders. Each nation has a Very developed Castle and a Very Developed City, and then there will be numerous of Large towns and Castles, and there will be a few odd ball wooden castles / small towns.
Each of the nations will have full un fogged cover by Watch towers by borders and by very long roads. The 1st spy will be in an inner city, And your armies will be deployed around the borders. For this to to work ofcourse we may need a 3 turn truce, For diplomacy talks, such, No one has trade rights even! This map will be all about Alliences and such, Being that theres no rebels, Pretty much You, and 15 other people. :o
If you guys think that this could possibly work, please post! Thanks!
All Nations are open. XD

This is what the map would possibly look like, If you have ANY ideas or to add, Please let me know!
The spoil has the Map of all the settlements and Who owns them, Also at the bottom right it will tell you what color the nation is, and how many settlements each has!

Reserved if the game takes place. Just listing who has an interest of what. All Names that are NOT in ( ) are FINAL unless if the player comes to talk to me. other wise, There is a few problems with who wants what, Some people didn't give me 2nd choices, or 1st and 2nd choices were taken...
1st = there first pick, they really want it
2nd = there 2nd pick, if too many want there 1st, they may be asked to go to 2nd
Either = They don't care as long as they play as one of these factions.

Basic hotseat and this game's rules
- I am the mod of this game. If you think any one is abusing any of the lower rules, or you will be absent, Please contact me. I will deal with it. Thanks.
- No attacking on the 1st turn. Let every one get ready and all of that good stuffs.
- All passwords should be reported to me in PM or privately. Incase if you are absent I will take your turn, how ever, If you have an Alliance with another person, and treat it as a serious alliance, then Your Alliance member should play the game for you instead of me. Please tell me if you do this, and also, Please tell every one in advance if you are going to go on a vacation or something. So we arn't waiting for 2 days going. "Where did Player XYZ go...?" Just it would be awesome ofcourse. ^^
- If you miss your turn for three times, And not report before hand or during of how busy you are or something. I will hold a vote on a removal of you and another person may jump in for you. The game must keep on moving.
- I noticed that some Imams will be able to call Jihads. I am sorry to say but I will be banning Imam Jihads. Just because it is unfair. Sorry.
I will allow you to call a Jihad on the IC diplomacy thread, but just not in the game. :D
- Also, new rule, You CAN NOT make small cities and under, or castles and under your capital, They have to be either Fortress or up, Or Large city or up. Thanks.
- All battles, including those between player-controlled factions, may be fought by the attacking player (against the VH AI), or auto-resolved.
- Please send a private message to the next player in line to alert them that it is their turn.
- Players are requested to compete in good faith and with a sporting spirit at all times.
- No exploits. The following exploits are banned. This list is not exhaustive, and in considering a course of action the player concerned should have regard for the rule regarding sportsmanlike conduct. If there is any doubt about exactly what actions these exploits involve, or whether a given action which is not specifically banned would constitute an exploit, please seek guidance from the GM or other players before completing the relevant turn.
- Re-loading of save game to play the turn again in a different way, or to create a different outcome.
- Merchant fort exploit. [B]Note: If some one reports you of having a merchant fort, and It is confirmed, I will kill all of your merchants. or make them so bad, that there - 8 financial. Or worst, I'll just - double the income that they make, until you take them out. ^^
- Surround and destroy exploit (relating to agents, also to armies or ships engaged in battle. An escape route of at least one tile must be left.)
- Deliberately setting up tribute deals which will result in a faction going more than 20k in debt.
- Deliberately exchanging territories for the sole purpose of gaining a free garrison.
In Game Tips.
Ok. First of all, You will most likely be surrounded. So, what best way to make sure that all fronts won't attack you!?, Diplomacy! Yes, It's a magical deal where you talk to different Nations, and make Deals, Pacts, Treaties, Declare War, Declare Cease Fire, Declare Alliences, Money Aid, What ever you can think of, Making friends in this game is KEY to success. If not, People will not like you, and gang up against you. Almost 100% defeat. Here is just a few tips to help you in this game.
- COUNTER SPIES - Yes, Counter Spies, What is Counter Spies basicly? I'll tell you, It is when you place a spy within your own city, castle, or fort, and leave them there. It lowers down other enemy spies chances by a VERY GREAT DEAL. Every faction could steam roll a faction in this if they do not have a counter spy. So... Wanna know how to take a settlement fast...? Well, it's.
- MOBILE SIEGE WEAPONS - Yes, In this mod, I have given every one or most of every one the chance to build siege weapons, Which can bring down gates and walls, Very fast. Though, It is extremely slow. And if you don't protect it well, Your enemy will find it and kill it. So Protect them!, It's one of the most important units in your invasion armies!
- TeamWork - Yes, Teamwork.Both of you are scared of a nation, or just wanting to defend eachother, or perhaps tag up and both beat the crap outa one nation? Well. Then you need alliances. These are very good things. As long as you can trust who ever is Allied with you... to not stab ou in the back when you do your half.
- Keeping your Rep up! - Yes, This might be very important for you. If you go around raiding and sacking cities for no reason, a large gang may just come about and beat the living snot out of you, and your allies will sit there and won't do any thing. So please. If you are going to be a sneaky fox, Be sneaky about it. Or there will be a hundred hounds on you.
- Keeping Track of the Game! - Ofcourse, This might be the single most important rule out of the most, If you want to play the game, Keep track with it! if not... Why you playing!?
And WOW, I typoed Broken /Crescent/ I am a failure.
Wouldn't it be hard to balance the buildings and garrisons right? Some of the rebel places are guarded with massive armies and others have nothing other than walls. This would require extensive testing to get right...
Not really, The rebels were put away, Right now I have the game already made, just making a few minor adjustments now, The game will be about 3-4 turns ahead, This also is good because the spawned stacks have been delt with. The only rebel towns are Arab desert, Tebet, and the place really up north, which is impossible to get to! Also, The turn will make all of the unrest go away for all of the settlements pretty much, Making them pretty stable.
How did you decide how much garrisons to give each of the settlements? And have you changed any of the buidlings? I love this idea but I fear it may be unbalanced. (and fear I have little enough free time as it is :laugh4:)
Well, At the moment, I have a save but still working on it, each nation has 2-3 stacks of armies that are outside, in forts. the cities have only 1-2 units each inside, Each of the stacks are set near the borders, but still, trying to get it at the moment so each faction so there around 15ish k of making money, and 15ish k getting taken out for armies, The income will increase once the player has started to obtain Trade with other nations. Right now like I said, There is one highly upped city and castle, Serves as the control center, All the rest are mostly lower towns with the basic stuffs needed in them, but still they can be upgraded much more, (such as EVERY city has a road, almost every city has a way to recruit a unit, such.) This is a HUGE task to balance out, and you have every right to fear that it may be unballanced, I'm basicly ripping out the rebels and saying who get's what! lol, If you have any ideas or inputs, throw it up and i'll take it in mind ofcourse!, but still, the current save i'm working out, Every one seems in the same area, (Besides the russains, Damn unite the steppes) So, I gotta destroy a few more buildings, build them, see how it is. Make sure the armies are set at the right place. If the game ever does start, There will be a few turn truce, so one can move where ever he wants adjusting to what his diplomacy is, Each Faction will have 3-4 Diplomats right off the start. All at the different borders. If this goes well, This game will be pretty neat!
EDIT: I have decided to make each faction have the income of 20 - 22.5k All will be going to an army upkeep so the player will be gaining very little to no money. This will prolly be the best way for balancing
Comforting to hear you have put so much work into this. Count me in, just need to think which faction to play. Would it be alright if I had a look at the save when it is finished, to get to grips with the new positions?

The Sindh and Georgia are in deep, deep trouble. If I think I have time for this, I'll take one of them. :laugh4:

07-17-2008, 00:19
I really like this idea!
Merlox, have a balloon for your innovative thinking: :balloon2:
I think I have time to join this one, so I'll take the Ayyubids if that's ok...:2thumbsup:
Haha, Ramsus, You may think they are in trouble by how many borders they touch, but then think of it this way, How many possible allies that will use your land as military access to another land and also, If the Great Turks attack the sindh's... you'd think they wouldn't last long by that very long stretch of land! :O also, really nice trade! XD and on't worry, Sindh's armed up to the teeth with there stuffs, they only have 2 castles, but each of the castles are VERY VERY upgraded, it is one of the factions where i bend the rules alittle, due to the fact that they have so much against them, but don't worry, they still will make the same! Sindh is not for the scared! Georgia has some goodies, Like considering that there capital is only castle type in the whole middle / west. making there castle better. :o
EDIT: Also! I have now included that every nation that can build it, will get 1 city that can build all type of moble siege weapons!
Also, Every faction that can, can now produce a single priest! / Imams!
Alright, I see now what you were getting at in that email, Merlox. I'm in! I think I'll try Makuria, but I've got 1 request: Change San'a, Ta'iz, and Aden to Makurian control and give Callula and Suqutra to Oman- It makes Makuria more contiguous without damaging Oman.
Edit: Also, Damascus should go to KoJ to balance things out over there. :grin:
That would be a good idea, but considering that the areas you listed for the kingdom of M has non of your religion on it what so ever, and so much of Imam's, (basicly 0% of Mar, and a 71% of imams.) It would be pretty bad, And for the damascus, It's an islam holy site basicly, also, back to the religion.
My picking areas would have been ALOT easier if i would have considered forgotten religions.
phonicsmonkey
07-17-2008, 03:14
also, (and I'm not suggesting you should try too hard for historical accuracy, but it's worth mentioning anyway) at the time the game starts Damascus was ruled by Nur-a-Din, not by the KoJ
I understand in BC1.5 they will be introducing a Zengid Sultanate as a separate faction to reflect this..
Ok, The test subject is made, but for some reason the uploader is being dumb, If you want to see the map for BC3 Test, you may, All factions do not have passwords and it just started turn w/e at year 1778.
Email me at Merlox@live.com if you want a copy of my test save!
Btw, i forgot to turn dev-cheats off in my cfg due to i had to re-install my BC... Any way I can change it back to it being back to no dev coun?
barcamartin
07-17-2008, 09:02
I'll make time for this! Count me in as the Ghaznavids, if this starts.
I'd like to be the Kingdom of Armenia.
I'm glad people are taking an interest of this game, And for all who think this will be like the old games, you are CLEARLY wrong, for example, Look at the kingdom of Armenia, Kingdom of Sindh, There nations do not look good, but they have enough upgraded cities to be very feared, And remember guys, this is all about diplomacy, If some one wants to be rambo, i'm sure the 5 nations at there borders will just blitz all that one and eat it up, But if this works right, After the truce, a single war could spark World War. XD, and also don't forget every nation has Massive unit productions now. Any ways, I tried to base this off of old medieval war, The objective for any country is to capture the capital, and the country wins, (Ofcourse, you could be as tricky as the russains as with napoleon, and when there town is siege, and garenteed loss, Destroy all buildings inside to hinder there advancement!)
Any ways, I just wanna put this out that this game is Diplomacy!!! :O , any ways, Elite Ferret, Good choice on picking Armenia, They are not weak ^^ trusssst me
Oh yes, I was going to do another buff, but i wanted all of your guys vote, I was thinking of putting 1 spy in every city, and 2 in the capital, for Counter spying, I realized that if a guy has a whorde of really good spies, they could litterly, Kill a nation withen 1 turn with out them even reacting! Please put your input!
EF and Bar, you got your nations, if you wanna change to another, as long as no one else wanted them it's fine!

Don't worry phonix, I'm just gotta get a list of every one first.

07-18-2008, 01:44
I don't mind changing factions if someone else really wants the Ayyubids.
I'd probably pick The Khwarezm Shah as a second option.
Hey guys, First public test is out, Just go on and check it out! has FoW disabled so you can see every thing, and all factions have no pass, so feel free to check them out! http://mizus.org/files/pbm/BC3t2.zip
Or at the top.

EF and Bar, you got your nations, if you wanna change to another, as long as no one else wanted them it's fine!
Great, I'll check the Ghazni situation out.
I suppose this game will need to have all faction slots filled by human players. AI factions in this kind of game won't be very good.
I'm happy with my choice :yes:
Update. Adding the ERE a minor city, Moving back alot of troops back from the northern border, like what Ask the pizza said, it kinda forces ERE to attack the russains which wasn't the idea. Playing out a few more turns so Kwazam isn't getting owned by the plague that badly... (Last time i rmeember that plague gets rid of 7k of profit. It kills them very fast.
EDIT: Ok, fixed the Kwas so they arn't getting owned at the start of the game by a plague, fixed up the borders alittle, so it's more of a "Defencive" type than having huge stacks right at the borders. Also. Yes, you are right Barc, We need more players, If you want to spread the word of the new hotseat coming along, that would be great!
Well guys, I have finished the final save. It is looking VERY promising. Now I am looking for Players!

Perhaps Ayyubid Caliphate to me or The Kingdom of Jerusalem.
I'm not sure at the moment which one I'll take... :sweatdrop:
Empedocles
07-19-2008, 00:27
hi guys! If possible I would like to join as the Ghorid Emirate.
My second choice will be the Seljuks

ps: barcamartin knows I'm a dedicated player.
You both have been added to the list, Ayyubids sure are liked! XD. But yeah. if you want to PM me or email me at Merlox@live.com , or if you have a windows messenger that would be great, I'll tell you all on how your nation stands amungst the others, your strong points, your weak points ect, keep on telling your friends, and that's awesome, I want dedicated players for this! :O

07-19-2008, 01:55
I think Ibn-Khaldun meant to say the Abbasid Caliphate...is that right Ibn or are you also keen to play as the Ayyubid Sultanate?
Well, We are at 9 people now. We are over the half way mark, but we still need more people! Please do tell your friends!
I was thinking, This game is obviously going to be more Player to Player than the previous BCs. So.. Would it be smart if we had an IC diplomacy thread as well? or no? just wondering

Nice tripple post.... ::Gives him the tripple kill award from halo.:: XD. but yeah. No, YOu have the choice of playing out these battles, it's only fair, or jerusalem would own every battle with there super elite army. It only works on skill, also. We will start when we have 16 people, Last time i remembered, No, you don't.. I maybe wrong, if so. just copy paste taht stuffs in admin, If I am wrong and the save deosn't carry it out, Copy paste
[hotseat]
autoresolve_battles = 0
disable_console = 1
disable_papal_elections = 0
save_prefs = 0
update_ai_camera = 0
validate_diplomacy = 1
into your cfg, should work.
Thanks for taking an interest, I'll put you down as the turkish sultans.

Also, The turn will make all of the unrest go away for all of the settlements pretty much, Making them pretty stable.
Haha... Minor adjustments. I was so cocky when i thought every thing could be done in 4 turns ahead... But now I am at 26 hours into this, and 20 turns ahead... And Hopefully.. HOPEFULLY I am finished... Just waiting on the 3 people to say it's all balamnced.. x_X
Merlox, one thing you forgot to add for the hotseat is this:
[multiplayer]
playable = true
hotseat_turns = true
hotseat_scroll = false
hotseat_autoresolve_battles = 1
hotseat_disable_console = 1
hotseat_disable_papal_elections = 0
hotseat_save_prefs = 0
hotseat_update_ai_camera = 0
hotseat_validate_diplomacy = 1
Pretty much anything below the "playable = true" is your preference, but that line must be present in order to play a hotseat game.
And we should definitely have a diplomacy/council thread. Considering this game is probably going to be all about diplomacy, we shouldn't have to be limited by the........ limited in-game diplomacy.
Hi, it's Moobke from TWCenter. I would like to join this campaign.
My first choice would be the Kindom of Makuria, my second choice would be the Hindu Rajputs.
With kind regards,
Moobke
Thanks Chaox, and yeah. Remember, if you wanna change your factions, now is the time before it fills up. Last chance! :D
And you are added in Moobke
Ibn-Khaldun
07-19-2008, 20:13
I have decided that I will play only as the Abbasids...
They make a nice faction to play ...
Also.. Jerusalem would be too difficult because every Muslim faction will probably like to wipe them out :beam:
So .. I will stick to Abbasids :yes:
Ok, making your first pick as abbubids, and yeah, Make sure you keep updated with the top post. And thanks for keeping on top of the progress.
The IC diplomacy thread sounds good. But are we going to have it such as the BC 2 and 1, where all gathers up into one place like nato? or just have it just a thread of all the different diplomats talking to eachother in very different locations? And if we are going to have it like a Nato, We have to vote on either of these 2 spots. Jerusalem, or Baghdad., For me, I vote for Baghdad, prolly would be the best place to do a nato.. considering its basicly slap center in the world. Also, it's just Bahgdad XD
I don't think it really matters but if I had to choose I'd say Baghdad.
Ibn-Khaldun
07-19-2008, 23:34
What EF said ..
It doesn't matter .. but I also like Baghdad..
And it's not because I would play Abbasids and have Baghdad as my capital..
Oh no .. it's not that at all:clown:
Lol Ibn, well. Theres 11 people interested. I need 5 more... tell your friends!!! T_T
i would join but ive never done one of these before and it looks very complicated :dizzy2:
Umm well, How long have you played this game first of all? because alot of people, including myself have had this game for years, and just find out about the community
Yeah, I just started my first hotseat duels a few weeks ago, and it's really not all that complicated. If you have Medieval 2, then you can play! Basically, if you want to join this game, download the mod "Broken Crescent". You'll find it along with all the instructions on how to dl it at the forum that it's got under the M2TW mods section. After that, (make sure you get the hotfixes too) just go into the bc.cfg file using notepad and enter the lines in my last post. Now you can play a hotseat on BC!
And speaking of hotseat duels, I'm still waiting on my turns from Merlox and ATPG.... :whip:
Oh, But i beat the game already, That turn was the last, My 3 armies from russia came in, sacked your capital, ani, and another city, i killed your faction leader. yeah. good game.
I ve got experience at medieval, ive owned all total war games and i already hav most mods includin Broken Crescent, but i read somewhere tht multiplayer campaigns require unpacking your folders etc, im no gd with editin things myself, if this is required then how do i do it?:embarassed:

You do not have to unpack anything..
You just have to add following lines to your bc.cfg file..
[multiplayer]
playable = true
hotseat_turns = true
hotseat_scroll = false
hotseat_autoresolve_battles = 1
hotseat_disable_console = 1
hotseat_disable_papal_elections = 0

But I might be away for most of August... will that be a problem ?
ok thanks, 4 info, so do u add this infomation as a replacement 4 where its says hotseat? i dont want to put the infomation in the wrong part:beam:
by the way, assuming ive edited the file right and i can take part, out of whats left i'd pick
first choice: hindu ragputs
second choice: Kypchaks
thx

You do not need to add that info anywhere, Aries...
Only the prson starting the hostseat needs to do add it, Merlox, in our case...

In this game he indeed doesn't have to add that info anywhere ..
But if he wants to start a hotseat himself then he does.. :yes:

No one's taken KoJ yet? :dizzy2:
That could either be really good (because I love KoJ in Kingdoms) or really bad (I think everyone is avoiding them because they'll get pawned.) :laugh4:
I don't have BC though and I am hesitant at joining something else since I'm pretty involved in LotR at the moment.
If everyone has gotten the factions they wanted and KoJ is still open, I'll think about it.
I promise that if KoJ goes down early, I'll do my best to go out with a bang. :2thumbsup:
But I am by no means sure if I'm joining so take care of the people who have signed up first. :beam:
And if someone comes in really wanting KoJ, let them take it. Don't hold up starting the game on my account. :bow:
Ummm, to be honest, Jerusalem has a very strong grip in this game, and has the power to do ALOT of damage, and no, not every one will bang on jerusalem due to the simple fact is that they will have to remove armies from there border to do that, and that will make them varnable for an attack. You are the smallest country.. that means you can move your armies at will to mobilize the fronts, while like others.. it would take years. So you want in or no? KoJ is as close as european powers as possible, :o
Also, They can be usefull at diplomacy.
And also, you may be involved with alot, but this is a 16 hotseat game, The most work you'll be doing is diplomacy with other real people, and checking up on your turn. >_>
SO JUST JOIN! XD we need a KoJ lover any ways.

I've been in some hotseats and diplomacy tends to be the most time intensive part. If you want people to not whomp you, you have to build an IC relationship with them. If you don't, you'll find your faction has been divided up amongst your neighbors. :beam:
I'm going to take a little bit to think about it. And to see what direction some things in LotR go. (also I have to see if I can even get BC loaded and working.)
So for now, I'm "interested" but not "committed." :yes:

Hey WH!
Long time no see. :beam:
The KoJ is still open. I was thinking of joining and taking them but I will probably bow out due to busy-ness.
If you want them, their yours. :2thumbsup:
(No one else seems to want them and I was the only one interested.)
GAME IS STILL NOT FILLED 15 PEOPLE
Hey Chaox, Do you wanna 2nd Georgia again? I think you will enjoy them more now.
Turks start the game. We need a turks player!

07-23-2008, 17:29
Alright, I'll officially drop to open up a slot.
Sorry but if I'm not going to commit, I shouldn't prevent someone else from playing.

Hell no! The Georgian military is not one that my knowledge of tactics has good enough command over. No HA armies for me when I'm playing against real people! Speaking of which, did you finish me off in our duel yet or am I still alive? I sent you the next turn.
Yeah.. but... you could always be the sindh... last i checked they wern't that into HA either. (Dun dun dun)
Also, Kingdom of Jerusalem is still open
I'm just trying this because theres 2 people who really want the markians. =/
And also about the duel, because you refused, your faction was destroyed. Duel over, good game.. =x
You took both my remaining cities, huh? Maybe you should write up an endgame post or something in your thread
I did kind of ask for Makuria way before the other guy did... and that would definitely be my first choice. But if someone else is going to be heartbroken cause they don't get their Makurians, I guess I could take KoJ. I had a whole strategy and everything worked out for Makuria :grin:
Warmaster Horus
07-23-2008, 22:26
I'll take the KoJ, but I'm out of multiplayer battles. See, I've got a laptop that runs M2, but doesn't have the Internet, and I've got a desktop that runs the Internet, but doesn't run M2, so multiplayer is out of the question.
EDIT: didn't see Chaotix's post. Well, I'll take whatever faction is left.
I am glad you are trying to discribe this, but here is a possible solution Since we are going to be playing either Playerr vs VH computer, auto resolve, OR, (Special request of player vs player) You can take the advantage of going player vs VH computer, and I will warn you, KoJ isn't for pushover, every one wants you dead. :o
UDATE:: I have ballanced the game out more, there is NO wooden castles or small towns any more.
it was updated. any ways. I can't start the game unless if we get 2 more people, and every one picks a slot. I'm sorry. but. if we added a computer in here, it would be raped in 3 turns, and then it would make factions unballenced. So. any ways
( Chaotix27 = 1st choice ) ( Moobke = 1st Choice )
That is a problem, and you guys have no 2nds. Please pick a 2nd.
Also we need 2 more players, please find just two more.
i just tried opening the test sav format file from the first page and it wouldnt let me, i tried infraview, abode and a few others...wht program should i beable the open the data with, if i dont hav a program able to open save data then i cant play, and i really want to! any suggestions 4 wht i can open saved files with?
forget last post, all sorted, i just had another load of dunceness, ill stop congestin the forum up now
its a rar... you go to winzip or winrar and download it, then you unzip the file into your SAVES under ME2 = BC = Saves. :o
BTW Merlox in my last post I said I'd take Jerusalem as a distant second choice. Also you should PM Moobke to see if he has a second choice, and remember that I did call Makuria first. :smash:
Warmaster has 1st pick on jerusalem, Moobke's 2nd choice was Hindu raphuts, which as been taken as a 1st choice as well.
Well, all changed now.. still waiting on 2 people.. /sigh
deguerra and Zim, join now :whip:
Ferret, PM them both, we just need 2 more people, and this game can start!

the ghorids u say....hmmm tempting....ill stick to the kypchaks though i think
Merlox invited me along to the party and will be happy to give it a go. I'm not too bothered who I play.
Ok, your in Ulfang ... we need 1 more person, A person to play the turks, Prolly the hardest position in the game.
Well, we need just one more person now, Maybe two if ATPG doesn't decide to even pop in at the games. Let's all hope that he shows up. He is a fine player in these games.
Also. Sindhs have been claimed
i will keep posting of the mighty bc multiplayer hotseat campaign at twc about the turks being available, someone should else should come eventualy!
Alright, now that I've been bumped over to Jerusalem ~:pissed:, I've got a question to ask. Will I be allowed to call in my crusader reinforcements, or is that going to be banned from this game? Do any other factions get reinforcement stacks or anything? Oh, and I propose that if the game makes it that far, we get someone to play as the Mongol horde.... that could be fun... possibly someone who was knocked out earlier in the game.
Edit: I posted a thread at the TWC BC multiplayer forum advertising for this game.
this is a bit embarrassing but when do the mongols usually come in? my longest campaign game was up tp turn 126 i think and still no sign of them...

Please also consider that this game will be Roleplayed as for the diplomacy reasons. also, ATPG has not been seen so much, and if this continues, I may just have a RL friend play until ATPG gets back.
when will the diplomat thread b set up and wht it b called?
Prolly BC3 Diplomacy thread, or something in the lines of that.
Ok guys, Every one please re-read the rules, and look at what faction you are, This is final unless you want to trade nations with another, and they say it's ok, other wise, it stays!
Sorry for a tripple post, But I have just heard word that ATPG is not gone forever, his computer is just blown up, at this case, I will take over for him, being for the fact that I will have no contact with him for a very long time, I will play my best ability to him. Also, Kingdom of Georgia and Antioch, You both have princesses... The Roman Empire has a heir with out a wife... :o
Myself and Horas are down for Khwarezmid Shahdom and Horas is also down for Georgia!? Who's who? I do play Georgia with a TWC BC Hotseat but don't mind who i play....

07-27-2008, 12:38
i just downloaded BC and installed it, but im having a problem starting the game i click on the quickstart shortcut and the game doesnt start to load?
@ Aries: I think the Mongols historically arrive somewhere around 1230. In Vanilla I know It's somewhere between 1200 and 1250.
@ Luigi: I believe I may have had the same problem as you when I first dl-ed the mod. Uninstall, reinstall, and make sure that you don't move ANY files around. The reason mine wouldn't work was because I kept moving bc.cfg to the broken crescent folder.
I'd like to make sure that Moobke definitely wants to keep Makuria, and if he does, I'm alright with Jerusalem still.
Post here to confirm your choice if you're reading this, Moobke.
And Merlox, I still need to know if I can use crusader reinforcements or not.
Choat, You can use the crusader army. but for kicks, you have 2 full stacks in your kingdom, and a rather french large navy by Iraklion considing of a french crusading force lead by Jean the Crusader. This will act like a small crusade. but your economy can not handle another crusade, also. since your crusade is all the way by the north coast of Iraklion. It will take some time before the forces land. but this doesn't mean you can sack a few cities from any other nation.. but... the other nations may not think so highly of you.

hi guys, we have to set some rules regarding the "scripting" reinforcements that certain factions gets in BC.
For example, the KoJ have the advantage that after being destroyed two stacks of soldiers appeared from nowhere and made them playable again.
Kypchaks also get some reinforcements.
Shall we allow them to have such help? I vote YES.
regards
phonicsmonkey
07-28-2008, 04:35
In BC1 we have taken the view that where the scripted reinforcements are available to the human player in the SP campaign, they should be allowed in hotseat.
So, the arrival of reinforcements for KoJ would be allowed, whereas the extra stacks which pop up for ERE and Turkey in the second turn were not...
I'm not sure about the Kypchak reinforcements - I know the AI gets these when they have 'united the steppes', but I haven't played a SP campaign as them so I don't know whether it applies to the human player also...
Don't worry guys, The Roman 2 stacks, The Unite the Steppes units, and the turkish units were destroyed.
Each of these gave 2 stacks to rome, 3 stacks to turks, and 4 stacks to the Khans. Sense the game is about 22 turns into the game, I have released them all, And the thing about the Jerusalem Incoming boat, It is simply a man made crusader. I built the troops, built the navy, and saild them all the way by iraklion, to give the feel like at the start of the game, The Pope is more active. :D
Now that the topic is back up again, and no other factions are getting their extra stacks, should I refrain from calling for more crusaders with my pope request "buildings" in Jerusalem, Jaffa, and Acre?
No. Because in reality, The crusading states always had more crusaders coming. lol Thats some what of there protection.

Just to confirm that I am around if, when my turn comes up, I don't answer for a while. I'm on GMT so might be a bit of a delay with the time difference. I don't seem to get any emails to subscribed threads when a new post is made and don't get an email to notify me of a new PM even though I've set it up to do that so will check daily after I get home from work which will be after 6PM GMT although might not be able to process for a few hrs after that but I will get to it within 24 hrs of the turn being posted.
That is fine, even if you check the website once every day. and see the turn, that would be great. also, You may want to jump into the Diplomacy Thread!

07-30-2008, 04:54
It's very simple.
First you finish your turn and hit End Turn so that the login screen for the next faction appears.
Save the game using the correct filename.
Then you compress the save file (which can be found in your SEGA/MedievalTotalWar2/BrokenCrescent/saves folder) so that it is a .zip or .rar file. In XP, just rightclick and send to compressed file.
Then you go to one of the uploaders (I think only the mizus one is working right now):
http://www.totalwar.org/Downloads/Uploaders/pbmupload.php
http://www.mizus.com/files/pbmupload.php
Browse and select the zipped file from your saves folder and hit upload.
When it is finished, hit view to see the directory of uploaded files.
Find your file, copy the link (right-click and 'copy shortcut' or 'copy link location') and paste it into a post in this thread.
Then send a pm to the next in line to let him know it's his or her turn.
And make SURE you post the save onto this thread!
I know you said it before, But it I must teach every one POSSTT INNN THREEADD :D

Hey all, I got news from ATPG via email: His computer is completely dead and he has to get a new one. He hasn't said whether he'll be dropping out of the game or not, but it's safe to say that we're gonna need a sub for at least a few turns.

I don't know Choax. I like controlling the pizza empire. >.>; any ways, you might put him in bankruptcy! :O thats not friendly at all!

ps: sorry for not being active at the diplomacy thread.
Hey, Ummm, If turko doesn't respond here, you wanna sub for them? The Seljuk Turks? we havn't heard from him once since the game started, also, Please bring your ghorid diplomat to the Diplomacy building! :O
Oh, I was just suggesting.... I also didn't know that the Romans' alliances with Georgia and Armenia were public yet. I'm sure one of them would probably be able to do a better job anyway.... but I don't fall into bankruptcy easily! Economy in this game is something I have mastered.
I also meant looking for someone completely new just in case ATPG drops out entirely. He's already dropped out of a few other games.
The Romans did not alliance yet with the Antioch, They are somewhat down in the relations of the Roman Empire, but they are still enough to keep peace between them nations. Considering the fact that tne Antioch has been claiming all of the lands of the Roman Empire every time a city decides to break away from the Roman empire, making some what of a hate toward the antioch, As we all know it, ERE is a receeding empire. still loosing settlements, to the east, they are loosing settlements to the Turks by war, and Armenia by there cities breaking away from the ERE, and joining the Antioch,
from wht i heard georgia and the ERE had bad relations in them times, so if ur doin diplomacy historically i wouldnt think they'd b allies
Warmaster Horus
07-31-2008, 19:36
Well, the Roman Emperor wanted to bestow on David IV (that guy I linked to, who basically brought Georgia glory) a title (panhypersebastos, literally August One Over All) that David refused to say that the ERE and the KoG would deal on a parity basis. His second daughter was also married to Isaakios Comnenus, so I guess they were somewhat friendly to each other (the KoG and the ERE, not the daughter and Isaakios).

Well what I mean is see my status within the game. My troops, cities, neighbours etc. I've never played the Kwarezmid's before and can't play IC diplomacy for a faction I know little about. I at least need to physically see my surroundings before I can effectively be a diplomat ;) And as I say little of what I'm really thinking will appear on the diplomacty thread.

ahh ok I didn't realise you could do that? I've never tried but I assumed if it wasn't your turn you couldn't access the save.
Hey!
Khwarezm is UP!
http://rapidshare.com/files/133907302/BC3-01-08_Khawarezm.zip.html
, uhhh, Ulfang, you're up friend! click the site, download it, put it under your saves in BC, and then play it!, then upload it back up!
=x lol
Hmmm ok slight problem... I don't seem to be able to download the save! I've used similar sites before but have never used rapid share. I click the link, select free user, wait the 30 secs or so for my download to become available then when the 30 secs is up I click download and it comes up with an error saying session timeout. I've tried 3 times now and I get the same error everytime?
Any ideas?
Ok scratch that. I have it now. It may have been a pop up block as when I tried it again pressing Ctrl at the same time as I clicked it opened.

What? What happened?
The Ghorids attacked the hindus and took over the small 1 city nation before the hindu player could respond. x_x
I have two solutions for this, Either way will take a small bit off the ghorids, but the 1st option is basicly nothing, the 2nd option will do more damage, and might give the hindus something. ; ; Sorry, i gotta enforce rules as it is.
1st option: Redo the turn. http://www.mizus.com/files/pbm/BC3-01_NewGhorids.rar
and your hand will be slapped, (Your pass is the same as the PM you sent me.)
2nd option: Continue with the game. And be slapped in the face. (I'll get the file after the Ghazies after the their 2nd turn. It will be worst than the 1st.)
Like i said, I am very sorry, but i gotta enforce rules. ; ;

I replayed my turn using the savegame from this previous post. does this mean that the Rajputs and Kypchaks will need to replay their turns? :help:

@ Empedocles : losing your Sultan sure makes for a good reason to replay the turn :laugh4:

08-05-2008, 13:32
Err, I advised Empedocles to conquer Delhi specifically because it isn't under the control of a player and I presumed the Rajputs would take it if the Ghorids didn't. In essence it's a rebel town, so it wasn't necessary to attack anyone and the rule didn't seem to be broken.
Anyway, it's my error, not Emp's, so you know who to blame. :2thumbsup:

@ Empedocles : losing your Sultan sure makes for a good reason to replay the turn :laugh4:
he knew the consequences when he ordered to Charge into a dozen of elephants in the middle of a city.
well, I kinda made it so the Raputes hindus are like, best of allies, military acces, and all of that with the single AI, just due to the the fact that if it is a gate way into india, Also if i gave the city to the player, One little castle could never produce a stack full of garrison, also, We wouldn't get the messege of the islamish people invading.
I could care less that one was attacked, but also you brought up the fact that seige weapons = first turn blitz, The idea was that if the ghorids wanted to attack early they would have to siege it., the HINDUS could have to decide to attack the ghorids, or let them destroy the castle. It would be more of a RP thing than any thing else. =x
It's a matter of consiquence of the choice that they make, If the ghorids simply blitz that castle on the first turn, you are taking away that little element of fun.
but yeah, Tristian brought up some major rebalancing things, so... I thank you for that and i will make adjustments, and for the ghorids, just be happy the punishment is the balance, because i sounded i would do alot more when I was making the rules! lol.
So yeah, The ghorids single mobile seige weapon broke down due tot he fact that an earthquake hit the lands, and also downgraded there catapult making center. :O (Now your some what more even with the hindus!)
so i hav 2 redo my turn?
mayb this is fate telling me tht i shouldnt of moved my army bk from the roman border lol
Aries, you did your turn AFTER i told the ghorids they could re-do their turn, this has 0 things to do with you. :O lol
also, why don't you do the Marukian's as well, please take mind that they don't know any thing. (Just build them up alittle ok)?

Ok, I am seriously going to attempt to play my own turn this time.
However, I have to download the mod, patches, upgrades, bells and whistles, and it may take me a day or two.
Everyone ok with waiting? I will not make a habit of taking this long.
Gah. I'm going on vacation on Sunday, so if you do that, I guess you'll probably be subbing for me. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though... :thinking:

sorry, I still dont have the link to a 1.5 patch.
If ANYONE has the original .exe setup file still on their computer so that I can install 1.5, and then the quickfixes as well, I can play my turn.
Thanks for the attempt, Cassu, but I do not trust those pay sites or the sites that offer a way to get around paying. Not with this new computer. If someone can email me the 1.5 patch (and the quickfixes if you still have them) please attach them and send to askthepizzaguy@yahoo.com
Also, those links sent me to a different download... not bc 1.5 I dont think.
the quickfixes can still be found in the patch thread at TWC: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=142288
but I can't find a working patch download...

Oy.
Sorry folks, after numerous attempts, Kingdoms with BC mod, 1.5 patch, and 3 quickfixes on a windows Vista operating system isn't working for me.
I am stuck. You may have to drop me from the game. I may not be able to repair this tonight, and in order to play I may have to do a full, fresh reinstall of Kingdoms, BC, 1.5, and the fixes, and try again.
:wall:
UPDATE:
BC works. The save file simply will not open at all.
Oh stop crying ATPG and fix it!!!. Did you download the vista CFG file? and make SURE you didn't put it as sytem downgrade to XP?

08-11-2008, 06:44
BC works. The save file simply will not open at all.
Does it appear in-game in the list of saves?
If so, do you get a CTD when trying to load it?
Or, does it fail to appear even though you have copied it to the correct saves folder in your BC directory?
If it's the latter, it may have something to do with admin rights over program folders in Vista - I'm really just pulling this out of thin air, but I'm sure I saw something like this either here or at twcenter where vista problems were reported - have you searched both forums?
I'm afraid I'm not much help, but I know it's possible to get BC 1.05 running on Vista and play hotseat campaigns because I installed it on my Vista laptop and played a BC hotseat turn successfully when I was overseas earlier this year..
If the save does not show up in the game loading screen then you may have put it in the wrong place, for vista you need to go to the BC folder and then press "compatability files" at the top of the window and find the save folder there, otherwise the game wont find it.

I dont get a crash to desktop.
It attempts to load, then it just loads the menu screen again. Attempting to reinstall.
This will be my final attempt at a reinstall. frankly I have college coming up and my time is severely strained as it is. I'm sure people have noticed that my Dread Knights game, my BC2 game, the LoTR game, the Simpsons mini Mafia game, and other games have all been put on hold, and I've subbed all my hotseats.
I cannot keep up with all this... was doing fine before the computer crash but now I am 2 weeks behind everyone else, with a full time job, college, and social life.
