View Full Version : HOTSEAT - BC 2.02 Hotseat Signup. (Re-doing it / better organization.)
Game Requirements: METWII 1.3 (No Kingdoms) With BC 2.02
Alright, First of all we're gonna vote on 2 options.
Either we have No Spies and Auto Resolve on.
(Upgrading barracks for better quality soldiers, better general qualities most important)
Or we have Spies + No Auto resolve on.
(AKA "Agent Wars")
They don't work if mixed with eachother.
(Due to the fact that some people, like me have learned how to destroy armies of over 1000, with just 50ish men. =p) (Also, Auto Resolve has been alittle bit more concentrated on fixing it up and being even It depends largely on quality of troops + General leading them.) Noting that you need to spend time preparing an army before sending it off)
List:
ERE
Turks
Armenia
Georgia
Jerusalem
Ayyubids
Abbasids
Seljuks
Kypchaks
Shahs
Ghazni
Ghorids
Marukia
Sindh
Rajupts
Oman

Ok, personally I would do whatever, although as on of the people who can NOT kill 1000 with 50 I might prefer auto resolve :tongue: :laugh4:
I want Armenia, as I have said. And don't really care about Agents :yes:

I'm fine with any options, I think they're all equally subject to manipulation.
I'm still up for the ERE.

Count me in as Abbasids. I prefer the option where you can fight out the battles, if that includes agents, then that's fine (don't really care about the agents thing).
If you saw my fights in SS, I can do the same results, I've won some big battles before. 30 vs 1000 and lost 21 men. =x

Ok, I'll go with the Ayyubids. Could prove an interesting challenge fighting the KoJ in an auto-resolve only game. :P
By the way, I vote in favour of "Auto-res + No spies". Haven't tried that more than as a substitute in the Britannia hotseat.
Also, will spies be totally off-limits if this option is chosen, or will they be allowed but forbidden in enemy cities?
This rule simply means the spy can not open the gates. but any thing else is aloud. (Such as counter spying against enemy assassins?) Or do you want to make a rule that enemy assassins can't hit family members?)
Any ways, I am very interested into a No Spy / Auto Resolve game myself. Not many of them around. They are normally always fun.
For me, I am interested into being the Persain Shahs... The One faction I have never really played

Holy cow. I have never played the Ayyu's in BC, nor any campaign ever with 2.02. I guess I better start practicing.
By the way, why can't we just hold hands and share the Holy Lands? You can have Tyre and Tripoli, it's ok with me. :clown:
Alright good good.. So far, 2 in favor of Auto Res / No spies
1 in favor of Spies / fighting
Oh yesh, I would like to say if there is No spies, I would like to be Shahs, but if there is... I'm gonna give my good buddy some company as well, and me Marukia... *grin* XD

You must teach me how to do this. It could be very useful in fending off certain... German enemies...

As for the game: I am nearing school with AP classes, so I can't really fully commit to this game. Put me down as a replacement or an extra in case you have spots open when you want to start.

IF this ever gets going, what will the difficulty of the AI be? In BC, I'm guessing a Very Hard-AI faction would be very hard to fight, if not impossible, using only auto-resolve.
If it is going to be set on we fight battles, it is VH VH

I dropped KotF, so if you decide to play with agents, I'd be willing to take the Khwarezmshahian, the Sultanate of Ikonion or the Seljuqid Sultanate.
Has the AoR been corrected? I haven't played BC2 at all since the first big blunder with the very, very poor AoR thingy...
2.00 should of been a beta test. As it had a huge amount of errors, even a few of them of which said "Moors Watch Tower" and such... XD
They did a great job restoring all of the AORs, and even added a 3rd teir of AOE, so that your home land recruitment if superbly strong, It isn't as a steamrolling game like 1.05, it's more fun in my eyes.
We must decide to do Auto Resolve / no Spies, or Spies / No Auto Resolve.
Sorry, But a List of players with nations.
Merlox : Shahs (No spies) (Marukia Spies)
Lemongate: Turkish Rum? or Seljuks or Shahs
Phonics monkey : KOJ
Bara : Ayyubid
MerlinusCDXX: Abbasid
Ramses! : ERE
Cultured : Armenia
Civic: Rajupts
I have hand selected some superb players of the TWcenter at BC 2.02, each one has a great record. Hopefully they will want to join, and if they decide to do so, please make them feel welcomed to the .org and Throne Room. =D
I will take Rajputs. No spies, autoresolve.
Nice to see your willing to join! =D
Civic is one of the very few that I invited. Also the one who started the first BC 2.02 game with No Spies / Auto Resolve.

Hey is anyone else noticing what I am? I was playing a Armenian game with BC and I was seeing some freaky stuff..... For a while it kept looking like the size of armies got bigger when they were being besieged, (saw it from watching the Romans and Turks volley ball back and forth, the banner size would bump up to twice its size when the Romans attacked a city) I joined the war eventually, and besieged a Turkish city, it had a small garrison so I was not worried.
They sally with about twice as many troops, all of which have almost silver Chevrons. I was doing a auto resolve only game, so I just cursed and clicked the button. ended in a draw and the garrison left was about 100 (was 700, I only lost a few hundred as well. Good thing I had about 10 command stars.....). I forgot to put siege engines next turn.... So they sallied again, this time with 500 hundred troops..... Again silver chevrons. :inquisitive:
Am I on the wrong difficulty or something? do I have some weird glitch? Or is this just part of the mod?
AI has scripted settings... They will be hard for single player. They will make your life hell.
(Another fantastic reason why auto resolve / no spies is fun)... You can't easily blitz the map.

Hello. Some might find my user name unusual, but at least 2 people know me her, Merlox and Civic, because.... I am Commander Ruunu from the TWC and I think I might join too. I'll take Ghorids who were my first online game faction and I would agree with both of the options, but I am beginning to tend towards no spies game, little more interesting.
Hello Commander Ruunu! as every one who doesn't know, Commander Ruunu is the moderater for the BC diplomacy thread, and a talented hotseat player to say at the least. I really want to get this game going, but to show signs of this is alive, is the first step.. XD
Merlox I think you should update the faction list on OP with players.
phonicsmonkey

Can I make a suggestion?
In order to get this game started why don't we ask Commander Ruunu and CiviC (welcome to the Org guys! :beam:) to pick one of the remaining Western factions and start the game?
Then we can add factions in the near east if other players join...
This thread has been open for a while and it's looking like we're not getting new players in the near future..

Here is a question, Do you want an early era? or late era? Ive seen a few pre-made maps of where the mongols just pop in, but that is your choice, =x

Yeah, I'm available to be moved, I just took the ERE because I was Rajputs-Ghorids-Sindh in the last games.
:egypt:
Kypchaks please. :stooge_larry:
I might be bringing a friend over from TW also, if that's ok...
And I think I'll vote against the norm and go for spies + autoresolve off. :saint:
Also, my preference is early era.
P.S.
If someone could instruct me on how to run different versions of BC at the same time on Windows Vista, I'd appreciate it. I've tried switching out the folders and it works up to the grand campaign, in which I get a CTD (and I am removing the map.rmw file).
The reason I would like to know this is because I am also involved in the Wrath of the Khan BC hotseat, which runs off version 1.05.

Welcome to the Forums, Nathan! Last I saw you, we were drawing maps in Graphics Design. Now you're the Imam of Oman! Man, how you've climbed the corporate ladder. :beam:
P.S.
Will you be making a story and council thread after this game starts, Merlox?
Yes ofcourse! and also. I am extremely busy at college atm. I am open for others to open that stuffs as well. :o
Oh, I did my recent victory, 48 vs 1760 men...
I had 1592 kills... and 0 Deaths... I've pretty much perfected this... XD
lol. Sweet kills dude.
Well, hopefully this game starts soon. Don't forget to add Thanatos to the Omanis, Merlox. I did my recruiting, now hopefully some of the otherse can as well so we can get this thing started. :beam:
So, I'm gonna have to back up Cultured Drizzt fan's question (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?p=2341555#post2341555) and ask: is this game over or still in the works?
What do we need? Like two or three more players, at least?
Turks
Georgia
Ghazni
Makuria
Sindh
Anyone know people who might want to fill in any of these slots? Maybe even some of the players from Lemon's Dogs of War game? A LOT of them don't seem to be in any other hotseat...
Yeah... Turks is a must.
I donno how much interest is in this game though. =/

I am still here. :yes:
I guess... Though for some reason my game is corrupted when trying to start camiagns only. so... anyu of you want to be the host/start game?
Well, we can go ahead and start. However, I just PM'd some of the players in Lemon's Dog's of War hotseat (gotta be at least a little aggressive with this); so, maybe something will happen there as well. :beam:
Also, The Battle of the Baltic 2.0 for SS6.2 is about to come out soon. If all of you don't know what this is, It is a very closed in version of the Baltic, which only contains Novgorod, Teutonic Knight Order, Lithuania, Poland, HRE, Denmark, Mongols, Norway, and a new faction Sweden. Over 200 historical accurate provinces in this mod, and very well scripted
The Map is 100% finished, and every thing is like 80-90% finished, it's gonna be one of the greatest sub-mods to SS6.2 ... For those who love Teutonic Campaign, think of this like that, but SS style... It's gonna be amazing! XD
other than that, good idea last poster...! (I just woke up! XD)
Yeah... Turks is a must.
I agree. The Turks are definitely a must. I think Ghazni is also pretty important, but we might even be able to live without them.
And, so far, only Balthor has replied to my invitation. He asked if it was possible to have both SS and BC installed at once. I said it certainly was, but I haven't heard back from him since then...
I guess... Though for some reason my game is corrupted when trying to start camiagns only. so... anyu of you want to be the host/start game?
That is a problem! I wouldn't mind doing this if no one else wants to. I'm not going to be playing this game to win anyways (just for RP), so the sacrifices of being a host wouldn't really effect me. Regardless, that is just if no one else wants to. I'm sure there are people more qualified than me...

I do not mind, but does he know every thing that a host should know? (Command lines and such?)

Yes. I am aware of all internet traditions (http://knowyourmeme.com/i/3070/original/untitled.JPG?1244229543) (:tongueg:). And I've hosted a few games between me and my friends. However, these were fairly small scale. I don't know if I'm the best choice for a host, but if no one else wants it I'd certainly be willing. :smiley:

Quirl, here is a thread about how to set them up (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=95420). I also suggest you make all factions playable in your game files, in case you ever want to do something like bring the mongol invasion forward.
I have encountered most things hotseat-related while hosting the BC game, so let me know if you need any help with the console or anything else.

Wow, that link is way more organized than the one I used as reference before. Thanks, PM! :beam: I'll certainly take your advice and set all factions to playable; and I'll definitely hit you up if I need anything in the future (though, I promise not to pester :clown:).
Ok, so I'll be remaking this thread (so I can more easily track the turn updates) along with a story thread and a council thread, hopefully, later tonight (I'll post the links here when I do). However, I would like to wait until sometime next week to start the game, if that is ok with you guys? :smiley: I know people usually have tests after Fall Break (I do) and I'm going to be out of town over my Fall Break as well. Also, I sent out more spam PM's to potential players and would like to try just a bit more to max out our playable factions. ~:cheers:
Sound cool?
Also, Quesiton, Is this going to be the No spy / auto-resolve game? or the spy / no auto-resolve game?
Well, most people voted for the "No spy / auto-resolve game;" and since I am a mere slave of the people, we'll do that I suppose. :clown:
