This thread is for the posting of save files, and at the start of every turn the GM will post a report indicating major news in the realm as well as detailing the changes in the player's finances.

If there are multiple generals involved in the battle, the avatar chosen by the computer is considered the leader for all purposes and has the right of first refusal to command the battle. Other avatars in the ‘stack‘, hereby referred to as an ’army’, may substitute if the player of the avatar chosen by the computer is unavailable.

If the amount of money the faction has at the beginning of the turn is not what the FOS predicted last turn, the FOS takes precedence and the amount of money in the treasury will be adjusted via console command.

There is currently no civil strife within the reich. During peacetime, each turn lasts 48 hours. During this time, any player can take the save in any order. If the save is currently taken, other players who want to take it must wait until it is returned or six hours have passed since it was taken.
Some questions. 1) I don't have the correct names. My character, for example, is called Phillipp von Kastilien, while some others lack names totally or have the wrong ones also. Is it supposed to be like that?
2) My starting army upkeep (incl. bodyguard) is higher than my starting treasury. I was under the impression we were supposed to be able to afford our army for ten turns? Also, this effectively hinders me from doing anything else but "keeping-up" the army. Once again, is this intended?
Sorry if my questions are stupid, but I'm not all clear on how things are supposed to work, despite reading through the rules.
Here is the summary of news items at the start of the turn.
A Milanese agent was caught trying to infiltrate Marseille. He was caught and executed.
Our kingdom now boasts the mightiest armed force in the world! Were all our troops assembled at one point no other faction could hope to field an army to defeat them! Other rulers should now think twice before seeking to anger us.
Our kingdom has truly grown to become an empire for we now rule the largest area of the civilized world of any major power. The boundaries of our kingdom may be impressive, but take heed that as they become larger they become more costly to defend properly.
Our great nation appears weak to tolerate such insolence from the rebels in Pommerania! The Council of nobles recommends that Pommerania be incorporated into the Reich, and is willing to reward the noble who seizes Stettin with soldiers if he accomplishes it within fifteen turns.
His Holiness the Pope demands that we stop shedding the blood of our fellow Christians. Cease hostilities against Denmark immediately and do not carry out any hostile acts against them for four turns.
A noble named Sigismund von Wolfsburg has offered himself up for adoption by the Kaiser.
Ortwinus Rapse has decided that he does not want to fight. As per Rule 7.3, his army can retreat without harm just as the player or AI faction can whenever it retreats. When EF takes the save he must move his army away from Prince Henry's in a direction and for a duration of his choosing. It's now Ignoramus's turn to take the save.
Andreas continued his march and entered the north of Saxony.

Re: V&V Saves and Turn-by-Turn Reports
Is it ok if Zim takes my turn for me? I have already pm'd him my instructions. I moved house and stupid Telstra can't come install my internets until 2nd october - I'll be able to use my work PC (as I am now) to take saves and put them back in the week, but tonight the wife and I are out for dinner plus I haven't yet assembled my home office since the move.
Too much information? :clown:

Re: V&V Saves and Turn-by-Turn Reports
Sorry, I had the list of player treasuries mixed up with the actual turn order list, taking the save.
