Please make sure to pm the next person in line so they know it is their turn (this is part of the game rules), especially if you just edit a previous post with the save file so the thread doesn't get bumped.

By the way, we just adopted a rule in the SS game that I think I should propose here too seeing as we have a similar group of players and are allowing battles in this hotseat.

Here is the proposed rule, please vote on it, I'll go with the majority.

- It is not permitted to assault a settlement or fort under siege with an army entirely or mostly composed of cavalry if in the resulting battle the AI will sally from the settlement or fort. As a guide, the AI has been observed to sally in this situation when the strength ratio is more than 3:1 in its favour. If a player chooses to assault and then discovers the AI sallying in this way he must quit the battle and reload the save immediately before the assault, choosing instead to maintain the siege or withdraw his forces. This is the only circumstance in which reloading is permitted.

Ummm, maybe its just me, but I don't understand this rule

[phonicsmonkey]

The idea is to stop people from taking well-defended settlements or forts with one or two units of cavalry.

If you assault a settlement or fort under siege with a couple of horsea and the battle is too heavily weighted in the AI's favour it will sally out and you can run it around until it is exhausted then rout it, taking the place and destroying whole armies with just a unit or two.

This happened in the other game and it was ruled an exploit.

The rule is an attempt to make it illegal by saying that if you assault and the AI sallies then you must quit the battle and reload, bringing more forces so that you have to have a proper siege battle to take the settlement or fort. When I tested it, it seemed like the AI would sally when the odds were 3:1 or more in its favour.

Does that make more sense? Sorry for the lack of explanation.

[Nightbringer]

I vote in favor of the rule.

Hey Cecil, that's last turn's save, could you please upload turn 18 instead?

[Thanatos Eclipse]

Hey Cecil, that's last turn's save, could you please upload turn 18 instead?

I'm pretty sure we're only on turn 17. That's what I just played

[phonicsmonkey]

No, I have played this turn before.

Cecil, could you please check it out and let me know? Maybe the problem goes further back and some of you guys replayed turn 17 without realising it.

[Cecil XIX]

There's does seem to be some sort of discrepancy. I remember when I went to save my turn it told me there was already a save file with that name, but I double checked and 17 is the right number. I'm quite certain I'm not replaying the same turn again though, as I believe I would have remembered having to deal with losing the Two Sicilies.

[Thanatos Eclipse]

I'm pretty sure I didn't replay my turn either as I didn't remember being able to reach the Moors final territory last turn. Cecil, since it asked you about overwriting a file with the same name, could it be that you named the last turn wrong and accedently sent that one to phonics?

[phonicsmonkey]

There's does seem to be some sort of discrepancy. I remember when I went to save my turn it told me there was already a save file with that name, but I double checked and 17 is the right number. I'm quite certain I'm not replaying the same turn again though, as I believe I would have remembered having to deal with losing the Two Sicilies.

Then I think you have uploaded the wrong one because the one you linked to here is identical to the one you linked to last turn. I'm not basing this on the file name but on the actual situation on the campaign map.

You should still have your autosave which is created when you hit end turn. Would you mind loading that up, hitting end turn again and resave for me?

[Cecil XIX]

Here is the autosave. (http://www.mediafire.com/?tbl3aviav539a73) However, I think you'll find it's identical to the save I've already posted. Further, I checked the past files. Also I misspoke before, I overwrote the previous file so there is no way I uploaded the wrong one.

The Turks. (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=205&id=8753)

Although Thanatos's was labeled as Turn 16, I labeled mine as Turn 17 in error. I have also reexamined the save that Thanatos uploaded for me back then, and it is indeed different. Also, no one seems to have labeled their turns Turn 18 so far. I believe is that because I accidentally jumped ahead with the numbering of my turn, and that this is the actual turn 17.

[phonicsmonkey]

ok, maybe I'm just going mad then. I'll take another look when I get home later. Thanks for checking.

[phonicsmonkey]

Here's the save for Egypt.

Confusingly enough you had uploaded two versions of Turkey turn 16 and named them both turn 17! But with the autosave I was able to play.

What about Denmark, are they dead?

Is Sicily Ai or player controlled? I only care about wars vs players. Ditto for allies of course. I like being allied with Nightbringer, the FN game pretty much forced us to be enemies.

preceding with the war agianst hre while its turn was skipped feels kinda lousy. i just went on the way i did coz i felt like this moves would have passed through under the radar anyway so... but next round maybe some ally is subbing the turn at least. otherwise its just a shady war that sucks. my reputation around those forums inst the best so u guys surly are having more success with asking people about taking over hre. maybe someone from the other forums is willing

anyway... france up

alright i posted before i checked the thread so forget about what i said about looking for a new hre player. looks like we found one already. good thing.
right now there is no chance for peace. its just my opinion but im pretty sure all of us are getting most out of it if we are somewhat making this an unoffical world war. meaning that france and spain definitely are staying with hre. just backstabbing him now really was kinda slith and totally lame. so sticking to the alliance and supporting hre surly is more fun for all of us in the long run

[phonicsmonkey]

Didn't you read the thread? Myth is taking over the HRE

And with regard to TriforceV, he did complain when his turn was skipped (even though he was several days late) and I gave him the opportunity to play it instead. He declined and preferred to leave the game.

[SilverShield]

yea i just read it. my concern about the skipping was meant as a general remark so play it cool bro. im always favoring subbing over skipping. but whatever if we got a new player taking over hre we good

And here I was planning to just sit back and watch...

im always favoring subbing over skipping.

By the way I also favour subbing over skipping.

But as far I as know Tri had not appointed a sub, and I know from other games that he doesn't think factions that border one another should be subs, even if allies, without the player's consent. So skipping was really my only option (I had also pm'd him to remind him it was his turn).

[Myth]

Had you chosen the HRE in the FN game I'd have been allied with you. I'm very loyal to my allies but I have a game plan before I start. For this particular campaign It included splitting Poland with my ally to the West.

[Nightbringer]

We shall see. Don't be overconfident... :)

[Myth]

Heh, it's only a game after all! Plus the sooner we finish some of our current games the sooner we can play the Christain/Muslum "capture the settlements" game.

[Myth]

Happy Easter to anyone celebrating it! Just letting you guys know that I have sporadic access to any one of the two M2TW PCs in my flat, what with one guy breaking his Achilles tendon and being confined to his room and all. But I hope I will be able to play the turn today, and once I assess the situation I'll post in the diplomacy thread and probably stat sending PMs.

Hopefully soon I'll have a worthy PC myself and this kind of thing won't happen any more.

[phonicsmonkey]

what with one guy breaking his Achilles tendon and being confined to his room and all.

Is he guarding it? :laugh4:

Try to get him involved in your campaign somehow...he can be your 'military advisor' or something. Better still, get him playing hotseats too!

[Myth]

Can't. He is lazy (super, super lazy) and does not want to learn new games and he is too proud to admit he doesn't want to put his mind to a complex game like RTW or MTW. In fact the only thing he does is play Starcraft 2 (but only because he played the first part a lot), watch Starcraft 2 streams and play some flash based games in Facebook... I've told him time and again "man you don't know what you are missing" but I think by now he hates M2TW just so he can be opposed to me. The other guy has a similar position to the TW series albeit I think his main reason to shun them is because he hates the idea of not being the best at something.

[Myth]

Any rules for this game? I'll assume autoresolve vs human players, no assassins for FMs, no spies for settlements, no opening with ballistae etc. If I can lead my armies though, please let me know.

[Myth]

Defeated Admiral Sicco of Sicily, he can't move next turn.
Defeated Admiral Gregorio of Sicily, he can't move next turn.
Sunk Admiral Al-Assel's fleet at Sicilly.

Won some victories vs the rebels.

Any rules for this game? I'll assume autoresolve vs human players, no assassins for FMs, no spies for settlements, no opening with ballistae etc. If I can lead my armies though, please let me know.

Any battle can be fought; no restriction on assassins; spies are not allowed to open any gates (including forts); no restriction on siege equepment. The full list of rules is in the first post. Also, the original point of this game was to try and get as many achievements from the list as possible although I'm not sure how many actually care about that any more... It seemed like a novel idea at first, but in practice...people like fighting too much :P

[Myth]

Wow, battles can be fought! Getting the jump on the enemy is very important now. And unrestricted siege equipment... Interesting indeed! Good thing I only fought naval battles this turn. Now I understand why the previous HRE player was so heavy on the archers which normally suck in autoresolve. This makes the Hungarian army much deadlier than anticipated.

So when an army is defeated can we move it next turn or not? Can we attack a defeated army on the following turn?

BTW you do realize that with allowing any battle to be fought and turning off the "unlimited units on battlefield" thing that the attacking player can pick off armies as if he had Night Fighter (reinforcments never come in M2TW as it always thinks you don't have enough system resources)

[phonicsmonkey]

The rule about defeated armies and movement is not in effect in this game. As always i'm wiling to amend the rules if there is a desire to do so.

The achievements will still be used to judge the winner of the game so I encourage all players to familiarise yourselves with them.

Myth, I would consider that an exploit - if anyone's pc is genuinely unable to handle multiple armies in battle please speak up now.

[Myth]

I've forced unlimited troops on both machines I play on currently. It's off by default however and unless one researches it he may not be aware (one of the two PCs for me always disabled reinforcements, hence me having to change that line). So I think the more proper thing is for everyone to what is described here (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?79026-Enemy-reinforcements-delayed).

[phonicsmonkey]

If anyone hasn't already done that please eiher do it immediately or let me know now if you don't think you can.

[Visor]

Comp is dead. Srry phonics, but can you sub me? Go with what you were discussing with silver or whatever. :P kill some infidels, you know the plan.

Phonics is off/ soon off on business and vacation so im subbing. pls send me a pm when the turks turn is up. thx

Are the Turks really not holding Constantinople? Why do I have a council mission to blockade its' port then? :huh:

You might try PMing phonics, I know he's away for awhile, but he could appoint a sub admin to end sicily's turn and get the game moving again.

alright im probably leaving town later today so unless this turk save is up within the next hours this probably is taking me 1 more day then before im having it up. but im kinda doubtful the file is up before anyway so guess we good there

yea maybe a second admin was a good thing

to change the faction name go to your faction window and just click on the faction name at the top

Just remember everyone that the game will end in 15 turns and the victor will be judged against the list of achievements in the first post.

[Myth]

Aye but the previous HRE player gave me basically a wooden shack and a dirt path made by wild goats for infrastructure in my realm. In short, I don't have the means to do anything but wage war. Unless you would all rather leave me alone to build stuff instead of train troops, but somehow I don't see that happening :D

There are achievements for training troops too. And most of us are pretty underdeveloped, I know I am.
