Now where is that Ferret boy gone to!!?? :beam:
From the Orders thread:
The plague has also hit Andreas in Antioch and most of our settlements - Staufen is infected again. :wall: Fritz, Becker and Welf escaped. It does not seem to have killed any of our avatars yet.Quote:

If this is not done, the general fighting the last defensive battle should make a note of those pop-ups and ideally take screenshots of any important ones.
Yes that's a bit of a shame EF.
I've missed the start of the turn so I can't include it in the report, plus I need to do a little bit of detective work to find stuff out.
Can you list what happened at the start of the turn with the events down the side of the screen?
About 70% of us have the plague now...there is going to be some Russian roulette going on now...
From the Orders thread:
Ramses - I think it would be best in future if we wait for the Chancellor to formally start the 24 hour countdown before claiming the save. It doesn't matter with your action, as the action was authorised and standalone. But generally waiting for the starter gun will give the Chancellor an opportunity to coordinate things before everyone goes off and does their own thing.Quote:

I can always fight it again if any changes need to be made. It's not a battle of any consequence or threat, as long as I get over my bug soon.

(I know this isn't related to KotR, but people might be interested, so I thought I'd post it.)
CountArach's just started up an election style game in the Backroom. As most of us here enjoy the politics that goes on in KotR, I thought that some of you might be interested.
haha i can't go in the backroom, or else i would love to.
Go to your User CP --> Group Memberships. You can apply for access (you should get accepted, no problem) there.Quote:

Hey guys, sorry about the lack of battle reports. Weather's been bad where I live and my wireless connection is out, making uploading hard (took half an hour to get that KOTR save up yesterday :sweatdrop: ).
Pics aren't quite as bad, so I'll try to at least get my sally up tonight after everyone's in bed and I can keep the dialup on a while. I'll get the assault on Antioch up tomorrow.
oh crap sorry about that, you'd still get stuff like guild offers and marriage offers though won't you because I didn't accept or decline them. I'll see what I can find out about it.
well I managed to scrounge out a few notes:
Prague besieged (obviously)
Plague: killed 502 soldiers and 15933 citizens
Event: man made inferno (about a Swedish furnace mass producing weapons)
Event: The great mortality spreads
and there were a few dead Merchants in Scandanavia and near Constantinople.
I don't think AG has declared open season on the 1250 save yet. Let's hang back until that happens.
Edit: This in regards to the order thread, not to EF's post.
Erm, yeah I should have posted it here rather than there I think.Quote:

In addition, I updated KOTRfix slightly (added an a) and have a full disclosure changelog within it. Have a read and let me know by a show of hands when/if you want to update.
No I don't see anything once the sequence has been gone through.Quote:

I am seeing a lot of issues due to disjointed ideas being translated out on the map.
I'm going to make my thoughts officially know in the Diet thread before I start the 1250 save which we will take at 1250-1 as Ramses has posted.
SO:
Please save after your AI defenisve battles and DON'T move to the new turn and...
start talking amongst yourselves at a Ducal level to provide me with a co-ordinated plan per region please.
While co-ordinated plans at the Ducal level may be ideal, I fear waiting for them would slow the game down too much. Some Duchies are up to it, others less so. I think co-ordinated planning is the Chancellor's job.Quote:

I think the best thing would be for you to look at the save and make suggestions in the Orders threads, after consulting with others if necessary. Then open the 24 hour window for others to post their suggestions. Some places may plan together and suggest coordinated moves; others may go off in a disjointed way. These moves will have consquences - with either the AI or other players reacting to disjointed moves, either exploiting them or learning to avoid them.
Note - only moves that lead to battles are to be made by players within the 24 hour window, so there should only be a few. In some ways, the 24 window really is a deadline for any planning.
Ok cool.
I'll also take back all non-battle initiating moves as this was causing some of the disjointed movements as I was a little lenient on this previously.
I'll take a look at the save tonight and post my recommendations. Once immediate responses have been made I'll open the save also.
Still afraid I might go AWOL with the Legion ?
No, but things were/are getting a little messy allowing non-battle initiating movement by everyone. :yes:Quote:

I just checked the relevant rule and it is this:
OOC CA 14.2: At the start of each turn, the Chancellor will post an annual report on the last turn, including a save game. The report will list battles that could be fought this turn. Players will have 24 hours to fight these battles or suggest moves for their characters. This system will be trialled for 5 turns and then either abandoned or continued based on majority opinion.
So - aside from those ending in battles - basically players suggest moves - it is up to the Chancellor whether to make them.
My inclination would be to make suggested moves where possible even if the Chancellor disagrees IC, simulating the confusion of war, wilful generals etc. (It will also make the game more fun.) But if a player is suggesting something that is very foolish - e.g. because they have not looked at the save - then I would not feel obliged to follow their suggestion.
I just finished reading through the Stories thread and I must say it's quite an extraordinary collection there. It's wonderful how we have created all these different and complex stories, building up heroes and villains while spinning an epic tale. Coming back after this long and seeing what has been done really gives you a feeling of the scope of the whole thing.
I'll probably never manage to catch up with everything that happened, but from the glimpses I have caught I really enjoy it. Thanks again to econ21 and TinCow for playing out the rest of my Chancellorship. I really like what you have done with Theodora. It's just amazing how much you can put into a single political marriage.
Overknights timeline was extremely helpful in getting a rough grasp of what happened and together with the stories it gives a good picture. It's also useful to jump to the interesting Diet Sessions. The one downside is though, that for the uninitiated the titles in your history don't say much about the content. I guess this is planned as to not spoil the content, but just for catching up a clearer summary of what happened without reading the whole text would probably be better. But maybe someone else should do that, I'm grateful enough that you spend all the effort to compile the history!
And to end this with a little nitpicking, I noticed that econ21 jumped back a century in two of his stories.

Send me your moves or take the save to pound some bad guy's. The plan is tomorrow night for me to make everyone's non combat moves, do the Chancellor bit and press end turn for our defensive season.
That's the plan anyway...there are a lot of fights so it could take a few days this turn.
To Ramses from the Orders thread.
Hey, it's worth a try. :beam: Andreas strikes me as pretty sngle-minded about his goal to bring Outremer back to it's former size. AussieGiant is encouraged to ignore his requests for more troops. I have plenty of men to hold the Iron Bridge. :yes:
Heh, well, Fritz is one of the few who isn't sick, and naturally considers himself a force for wisdom and restraint unparalleled in the Reich. :laugh4:
As far as in character, it had to be pretty rare to lead an offensive campaign during a major plague, and, of course, troops for anyone else in this severely repressed economy means fewer for his own ends.
