I've written three tirades by Arnold which I scrapped due to over acting my character to ridiculous levels :laugh4:
Grumpy would not even get close to those three attempts I decide not to post. :beam:
GH can you elaborate on the "less known" error Arnold has made?
According to wikipedia its, "Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!"Quote:

You have 48 hours from the time I sent you the PM. If you can complete the battle and upload the new save in that time, please do so.
Auto-Resolve would be bad for this situation as you are facing 1:1 odds and it would be more advantageous to fight out a bridge defense.
Actually, there are a lot of Princess Bride quotes that relate to KotR:
Fezzik/Otto: You never said anything about killing anyone.
Vizzini/Heinrich: I've hired you to help me start a war. It's an prestigious line of work, with a long and glorious tradition.
Otto: I just don't think it's right, killing an innocent Cardinal.
Heinrich: Am I going MAD, or did the word "think" escape your lips? You were not hired for your brains, you hippopotamic land mass.
Inigo Montoya/Dietrich: I agree with Otto.
Heinrich: Oh, the sot has spoken. What happens to him is not truly your concern. I will kill him. And remember this, never forget this: when I found you, you were so slobbering drunk, you couldn't buy Brandy!
[turning to Otto]
Heinrich: And you: friendless, brainless, helpless, hopeless! Do you want me to send you back to where you were? Count of measly Innsbruck!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Miracle Max/Otto: Get back, witch.
Valerie/Elsabeth: I'm not a witch, I'm your wife. But after what you just said, I'm not even sure I want to be that any more.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Count Rugen/Bane: Ah. Are you coming down into the pit? Wesley's got his strength back. I'm starting him on the machine tonight.
Prince Humperdinck/Arnold: [sincerely] Bane, you know how much I love watching you work, but I've got my country's 500th anniversary to plan, my wedding to arrange, my wife to murder and Sicily to frame for it; I'm swamped.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

lol! oh the pain, thanks for the laugh all. Lothar, look at what you started...
GH that was a classic. I'll have to watch it again, for the 3526th time.
Life is pain, Tamur! Anyone who says different is selling something.Quote:
oh the pain
:laugh4:
Vizzini: No more quotes now, I mean it!
Anybody wanna peanut?
Hell that made me laugh!!
Nice work GH. Especially like the Humperdink line.
Knock it off, don't make me call the Brute Squad!
By the way nice write up TC.
That was a close one.
I concur, well written and an interesting alternative to the usual battle reports.
The intestines hanging like a demonic wedding train leaves an interesting mental image. :2thumbsup: I would suggest that Lothar doesn't eat any strange mushrooms he finds in the forest before battles though.
I also hate fighting in forests. I'm usually forced to send the camera in under the trees, I lose strategic vision and it turns into a clumsy slog.
Very true OK
It's actually quite realistic.
I noticed that one of Lothar's 'curse' traits was significantly worse at the end of the battle. Combined with the total tactical *#&@*# that I made, it seemed like an opportune time make Lothar lose it a bit. I really wasn't in control of what was going on. Most of the screenshots are on the edge of the woods, but a lot of the fighting was under trees where I couldn't see what was happening. There were no lines at all and I just kept throwing units into the fight whereever I could when they became free. It really was sheer luck that made it a victory.

Ummm. . .what rhymes with "dead Mongol"?
Good Job Tamur. :2thumbsup:
lol! I just hope someone named Coleridge doesn't join now or we're all in trouble.Quote:

"A bong'll" but I think I'm the only one who will be able to use that. :laugh4:Quote:

For anyone who questions what good screenshots can do for a story, you need to check out this thread.

sorry bout that tho.
I am assuming that we are accepting the Niesenn marriage offer, so I have added the fellow to the Library:

Please note that I just got a new widescreen monitor and as a result my resolution has changed. This means the screenshots may look a bit different. Sorry if it makes the Library look funky.
Yes, the marriage offer was accepted.
I apologize for the scattershot intro to 1276, but I did not have a chance to upload photos and such for a proper report before heading for work. One will be done once I get home.
We have one battle so far and the save has already been sent out.
Edit: Thanks for the update gibsonsq91921, it was helpful.
That's pretty funny TC with the widescreen look.
What type did you get and how do you like it?
OK,
Did you PM the battle's for this year rather than post em up?
There's one battle so far, what happens after that hinges on it, so it has to be fought first.
And yes, I am being vague.
Seems marriages are picking up. Too bad thats for our spinsters currently.
And I'm guessing that battle is Outremer eh? Or Matthias attacking something?
TC: I use widescreen too, but did not check "widescreen" in the options section, so my screens while looking somewhat cropped, are not that bad ~:)
