I'm still confused about this PBM. Overknight controls the agents and character and is the only one that actually plays the game, after he is done doing w/e he wants, he posts up the save game. Then everyone can go downlaod it. So now what do the players do with the save?
Have a look at this post:Quote:

It is the last set of orders we got from Overknight. In it, he lists orders for generals who he wants to fight battles. Tincow's avatar was on that list, so Tincow downloaded a save and fought his battle, uploading the battle.
Basically Overknight plays the game on the campaign map, but the only battles he fights on the battle map are his own avatar's. Other players fight their own battles or they are autoresolved. In 5 turns time, Overknight's term as Chancellor will be over and we will elect a new one (although the Kaiser may use his one-time Imperial perogative to be Chancellor).
Wait, what do you mean upload the battle? How do I only upload the battle?
One of the forum sticky's ("A file space for PBM") gives this link:Quote:

Click on this and you can either:
a) download existing savegames. You do this by clicking the "view upload directory link" and then clicking on the savegame of your choice.
or
b) upload your own savegame. You do this by clicking the "browse" button, finding your file (please zip them first) and then clicking the "upload" button.
You won't need to upload any saves yet until you have commanded an army in your first battle.
i should be able to fight mine tonight.
Econ, sorry I worded my question wrong. But I think I understand now. So basically Overknight selects 5 players to fight the battle, and those 5 will have to download the save game and fight the battle, but what I dont understand is then, won't Overknight receive 5 diffrent save games of 5 seperate battles, or how does it work? I know I seem really stupid here.
Each player that has fought his battle mentions it in this thread and gives a link to the new savegame, that he has uploaded, which includes the result of his battle. The next player then downloads that game, instead of the one previously posted by Overknight. He mentions this in the thread so that other people know that it would be futile for them to download the save now, before he has uploaded his again.
That's also why we number the saves, like kotr1192-1 and kotr1192-2 and so forth.
It reads more intimidating then it really is, you will see the post telling here is the next save and who is up to battle will take that save saying so in the post and it moves on. The tricky part was the file to upload and to make sure you .zip before you upload. If you have the link then your set when it comes your time to battle save it and post the link.
RK,
Think of it as passing a football instead of 5 different footballs. Each person who needs to fight their battle in a turn needs to get the football passed to them within 48 hours. But, most of the time, it doesn't matter what order the football gets passed. So, first person takes the football, tells people in here, fights the battle, renames the football, puts it back in the upload directory, and tells people in here. Next person goes and so on.
I hope my football analogy helped you and didn't cause more confusion. :D
dibs on the save!
fought and uploaded - 123pichosting is down so the results:
Start 1656 v 1131
Lost 131 v 712
Remaining 1525 v 422
Asking at this point in the game may be silly, but is there an end point we are aiming for? M2's conditions? Or something else entirely?
What does M2's conditions mean Tamur?
No I'm an insane football fan, and thanks I understand now. Thanxs for the help.Quote:

@Roadkill
OK's reign as chancellor doesn't allow him to do whatever he wants. Major actions that he takes must follow the demands set forth by Charter Amendments/ Edicts/ or Orders from Counts/Dukes. Ignoramus did it once in his chancellorship just to make things interested and an emergency session got called and he was ousted.
M2 conditions are 45 regions and Rome.
I think that's what we are aiming for, but trying to get there as slowly as possible.
I have the save.
Yes, sorry AussieGiant, FactionHeir said what I was thinking with my excessively short abbreviation... Medieval II's victory conditions.
And I think we may be talking of two different kinds of football here, but whichever is your interest, it's an exciting time of year ~:)
either way, the analogy holds. we pass the save around like a little ball whether it is to be kicked or thrown. Either way, I hate sports. It just seemed like a semi-effective way to get the point across. :D
Bad news for some here. I've been asked to tell everyone that, due to a family situation, Olympia is no longer going to be able to join us. I know she was planning to write with at least two people here, and possibly more than that. But it appears that won't be allowed to happen. She says she plans to write to these people and explain a bit more, either later today or tomorrow at some point.
Sigh. Ah well, she caused quite the stir while she was here! Thanks everyone for letting her have a go, if only for a short time. She enjoyed it greatly, and wishes everyone to know she's very envious that we can all continue onward into the cataclysm and so on.
Sorry to hear.
An updated report for 1290 is up:
https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showp...&postcount=270
1292 should be happening shortly.
That does suck that she can't play but family has to take priority. Hopefully, she can come back some time. She proved you don't have to have a high-powered super avatar in order to have fun. She certainly taught me a thing or two about role-playing and I was able to develop some things IC that I was stuck on. The tavern won't be the same without her. :no:
Sad to hear Tamur.
She was already adding a great deal to the adventure we are all on together.
I hope everything is ok and there is nothing too serious.
Real life has to take priority.
Cheers
AG
