That's fine. I have an abundance of free time at the moment, so there aren't any restrictions on when I can play a turn.

Uploaded - NewSpainSuccesion.zip.
To play, extract the .sav file, and put it in the C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\americas\saves\ directory.
YAKOBU, its your 20-turn reign next. play until the end of turn 40.
Thanks.
Will get started right away.
Are we doing write-ups?

gibsonsg91921
10-15-2007, 23:10
if u want, i didnt - my reign was insignificant and weak on purpose so we wouldnt get off to a strong start and keep whittling em down quickly and win before we got through everyone.
Okay dokay.
I'll post a brief write-up and try and restrict my expansion to give others a chance.
I'll summarise my objectives at the start of my reign.
:charge:
Hi everyone ~:wave:
I have posted a seperate write-up thread if ok with everyone.

:charge:
Woohoo! 1 1/2 turns before I go. :2thumbsup:
The writeup looks good so far, YAKOBU. I wonder how long a Spanish/Aztec alliance can last.
Hello everyone ~:wave:
Well I have finished my 20 turn reign at the start of turn 40 as I received the save at the start of turn 20. I've just spotted that I should have played till the end of turn 40 but hope it's not a problem.
3 points to note:
Pedro Menendez is on a boat with his army on the way to Vera Cruz. Ensure that he lands and is used as sometimes the boats don't move automatically.
There is currently a Council of Nobles mission to take Tlacochcalpan for 5,000 florins.
We have a fleet with a storm over it in Havana docks.
You can see me write-up in the thread highlighted in my earlier post.
The save file is called SpainTurn40.zip.
I have PM'ed uruk-hai.
Enjoy your turns.

Alright, PM Zirn and lets keep 'er rolling
Gonna download and start playing right now.
uruk-hai, will you be doing a writeup? I'm going to try to do mine right after I play my turn, anf if you're doing one for your turn, I'll wait untill after you post it to put mine up(to keep them all in order).
Just out of curiosity, Does anyone know if anything bad happen if I sink that fleet English reinforcements come in on? I'm hoping it would stop anymore from coming, but fearful it might mess things up.
gibsonsg91921
10-22-2007, 02:05
sink that! go for it dude
Well, that didn't work out very well. I beat them in the first naval battle, and new English soldiers still magically appeared on the case. Worse yet, when I followed the navy to finish it off, it had somehow doubled, making the batte odds 1:1. Every single ship of mine was destroyed. :sweatdrop:
Anyway, my turn is done and I'll be uploading it right after this post. The name is "NewSpainTurn80". I took four cities, which I'll reveal in the writeup.
Notes for the next player in line:
-We're at war with the Aztecs, allied with the Apaches.
-That means we can recruit Apache mercs but only in heir territory, it seems. I have a guy called Diego the mad in the only visible Apache territory on the mini map. He's been recruiting the mercs as they appear, and a fleet is shipping them to Verz Cruz.
-On that note, we have a large, mosty Apache army Northwest of Tlaxcalla to play with. It's pretty nice, they're much better than the generic native mercs.
-Tecuantepec is under siege, and is a mission target.
-I was a poor steward of the riches uruk-hai left me, and we're down to something like 100,000(he left me double that). However, with armies bigger than ever we're making 20,000 a turn.
Edit: File is uploaded and next player is pmed.
okay taking the save now, I should be able to finish by the end of the week but there is no certainty I'm afraid. Blasted exams.
okay I have a slight problem, whenever i try to fight a battle I get a CTD and an unspecified error. I'll try reinstalling now.
edit: well that didn't work, I guess Tristan will have to take over then.
Do you only get the ctds when you play that save? I recall there are two files you have to delete when you update to/past 1.2 (or you get ctds for every battle).
Or maybe the save was corrupted. I can recopy it and upload it.
no it's not the save, after I reinstalled all of Kingdoms I tried out the save, a custom battle (which both CTD) and then tried the other campaigns, well just teutonic, and it worked there. I did unpack all the campaigns to try and get the Retrofit mod to work and they may have been a problem with this campaign as the retrofit mod wouldn't even start up (the new units one). I'll try uninstalling all of M2 and delete all registry entries (if I can remember where the registry is lol) and see if it will work then. In the mean time Tristan can have his go if he wants as I'm busy with exams. Bloomin' annoying though as I've missed my turn on both succession games :(.

unpacking typically can screw up a lot - i have experience. just ask FH

Sorry guys, I really expected to play this oneas it plays counterpoint to the AAR I'm doing on the Aztecs but Real Life invited itself to the party :
my baby girl is born today :2thumbsup: and I won't have as much time to play now...
gibsonsg91921

sorry guys ive been busy, if YAKOBU wants to go ahead thats fine i dont want to delay 'er
Hi gibsonsg91921 ~:wave:
I should be ok to do a turn before the end of the week. I'm just playing the Turks in Kingdoms: Crusades and want to write up a guide. I have 22 regions and only need 25 plus certain regions for a set time limit. I am off work tomorrow and Thursday so will try to have the Turks finished in those 2 days.
I finish my current job next Monday so I may just stick to the 2 PBM's I am involved in and not play any single player for a while. This will give me more time to find that perfect job. Both PBM's are running short on players able to take their turns so I am sure I will still get plenty of Total War.
:charge:
Quick update:
Had an interview at lunchtime for a 2 month contract and got the job to start Monday. May have to do the day this week that I will miss by leaving my current company a day early. 1 day less for Total War although my weekend is currently looking free. :2thumbsup:

alrighty, i just dont want this to die yet. as long as we keep moving. if it hasnt been done and i have time, i might be able to play it this week too.
Hi everyone ~:wave:
I have downloaded the file and am ready to play but must voice a couple of concerns:
Firstly of the 5 people lined up after my last turn only 2 managed to play their turn. I appreciate we all have busy lives myself included but I am in 2 PBM's and my turn on both comes round very quickly.
Secondly even though 2 people have played since my last turn my write-up is the last one done. Uruk-hai didn't respond on whether he was providing one but Zim did indicate on the 22nd that he would be posting one. Can we ensure that Zim's is done before I complete my turn?
Please don't take offence it's just I play PBM's as part of a larger group and hate to see them whittle down to just a few active participants.
If everyone is ok and still in I will take the next 20 turns.

some one called?did i forget to say i won't being doing a write-up?rats looks like i did.any way no i most likely will never do a write up, for my truns,unless i have nothing better to do.
I have to help my with throw a Halloween party tonight, but I can do a writeup tomorrow(maybe late tonight).
Hi everyone ~:wave:
I have completed the next 20 turns so the next player can go.
The save file is called NewSpainTurn100.zip.
I'm out on my feet at the moment so may be tomorrow before I do my write-up. I am still waiting for Zim's write-up also.
I've taken 5 provinces to move us to 27. We only need 30 but the Aztecs have to be destroyed and they still have a fair few settlements.
Enjoy !!
:charge:
wow that's a lot of money! Shouldn't be too hard for the next player to mop up.
Who's playing next. Gibsonsg, Uruk-Hai?
:2thumbsup: Ok, I finally have my writeup done for my turn earlier. Sorry about the delay.

Who's playing next. Gibsonsg, Uruk-Hai?
i have no idea who trun it is.so i will say this who trun is it?
I think it is you uruk-hai according to the list on the 1st post.

11-11-2007, 01:24
so its my trun.downloading save now..
edit:Good new !gress what?the Aztecs are destroy gone no more.
Good afternoon uruk-hai ~:wave:
Does that mean you have completed the victory conditions?
As I remember the Aztecs had more settlements than we needed for victory so if they are destroyed we should be there.

:charge:
yes i have met the victory conditions.now to plan who to attack next.
Does that mean that this PBM is now finished?
:charge:
I think it depends on whether we have any unofficial goals we'd like to achieve(say, 100% domination or some such thing).

Depends. We could call this THE FIRST SUCCESSFUL SUCCESSION PBM IN YEARS, or we could keep going for a while. At this point, I think it's just steamrolling. Nice job, people. I was too busy to enjoy this as much as I could, but it was still very fun.

To be closely followed by our Scottish PBM !! :whip:

At the rate it's going, we're more in danger now of not finishing by the time turns run out than not getting players to do their turns. :laugh4:
Let me at it !!! :viking:

Ignoramus says he can finish by Sunday. I might give him an extra week, now that we have such far flung territories and so many enemies and battles to fight/record. You can take my turn after that, if you'd like to go first. :yes:
That sounds like a good idea, but I don't want to make you miss your turn. :no:
:charge:
It's no big deal. I've got a lot of games going now (hotseat, KOTR). Although I do sadly have the free time to attend to them all, I won't miss one. We can just switch turns, so I'll get to play anyway.
We should probably move this to the Scottish OOC thread, lest our friends get irritated at us for derailing their thread. ~:)

Okay a deal as I am in no PBM's apart from the Scottish one now.
See you in the Scottish thread soon. :2thumbsup:

yakobu u should join KOTR if you love PBMs we're at a really exciting time now
Thanks gibsonsg91921 but I will have to give it a miss. I prefer to be involved from the outset rather than jumping in at this late stage.
I will keep my eyes open for other opportunities.

haha no one really was in it to start. most everyone joined after a while dude, its cool
3 noobs just joined, including Zirn, so you should go for it
Hi uruk-hai ~:wave:
How are things going in the game? Did you get a victory screen you can post so we can have closure? Are you now finishing it as a single player?
