Before you do that FH, you might want to stick all the avatars in the army that will attack the city. That way all the avatars will get the nifty Crusaders attributes. Just a suggestion.
I took the same approach when taking Jerusalem.

Quick Note: We're nearly on a new OOC thread.
How many OOC threads did you get through for the WotS game?
Woulda loved to OK but avatars were already badly stretched for MP plus Fredericus already having been in the ZoC of Damascus and thus immovable.
Okay, you have my permission to autoresolve (kinda anticlimatic, but I can't do anything about it). I'll actually fight the battle and write a report when I have time if you choose to have Conrad command.
FH, you can just seige it and wait another turn to move everyone into position, right?
I could, but there isn't really a point other than to boost the characters OOCly as everything is in position.
Will autoresolve and let you know GH if FLYdude doesn't post in say 1hr, since he has read my PM.
Well, I was off playing the battle. Shall we officially count the result and proceed? The reinforcing avatars did indeed not receive crusade traits.
I think we should try to maximise the number of player controlled battles, as they are much more fun for players than autoresolves. Presumably FLYdude could fight the battle manually if given the usual 48 hours grace? He's very reliable. I think you said desertion won't be a problem as we are in the target province. But it is your call.Quote:

I'd be inclined to take an extra turn and make sure all the crusaders are in on the kill (exempting Otto and Henry, as they have been there, done that and got the t-shirt).Quote:

FLYdude - can you be persuaded to do it again after factionheir waits a turn? :eyebrows:
It does seem a terrible waste to drag all those avatars across Europe on the crusade and only one (relatively) old duffer gets rewarded.
Not a problem.
:fainting:
Thanks, I really appreciate it.
Nice write up FLYdude. :2thumbsup:
I feel kinda of sorry for that Egyptian commander, I think he got mauled by Henry and ransomed (?) only to make his way to Damascus to be immediatley besieged by the Mongols and then us. Poor bastard.
Bah, I don't feel sorry for him. Damn coward! I've no idea why he just sat there at the end, but I guess it made for an interesting ending. He was plenty active the first time I fought the battle, and died bravely in combat.
Speaking of bravery... Karl Zirn, contrary to what you said in the Diet thread, did not perform any acts of bravery. The way the battle ended up being set up, I was able to keep the generals out of the way a bit. I was forced to use them the first time I fought the battle, though, and Karl Zirn had, uh... too much bravery to later be named the Count of Damascus. Austria came very close to getting into avatar trouble again. Lucky we were greedy for more traits.
Ah. . .well, I really can't promote him by saying, "Karl Zirn, even though he sat on his arse eating schnitzel rather than fight at Damascus, will be made Count of that city because he's the only Austrian left in the Holy Land."
I'm glad we got greedy, Austria isn't fecund enough to throw avatars away.
I think that was the best joke I heard in a while OK
Good fight FLYdude
Hello everyone,
I would like to ask permission to join this PBM in the service of the House of Bavaria as it doesn't seem overcrowded and fairly active.
I'm playing total war games since Shogun but I only recently arrived in the org community. I hope I'll be able to join you and have some fun.
Sure, go ahead and pick an avatar (Page 1, Chancellor Governor Reports)
That makes the title a little hollow under the circumstances with the whole Crusading thing.Quote:

Thorn under siege?
Bring it on you Russian (?) :daisy: :whip:
Polish. And its like 2 crossbows.
Only reason they dared is because Gunther and Peter are slightly south of Thorn to combine up (can't let Peter go up on his own because there was a large Polish army nearby)
lol lemme at em!
im afraid henry's next and god dangis going to be the prince andSpoiler Alert, click show to read:andSpoiler Alert, click show to read:Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
lol
Heh, if it's the same Polish army as we've seen before I think the garrison should be able to take them on. Don't know tho, as we haven't seen the replay yet.
Alright guys, I got 4 battles coming up, first come first serve:
Total clock counting from now: 72 hours
TinCow: Lothar Steffen+1 Teutonic regiment+Budapest garrison vs Hungarian army
Ignoramus: Ulrich Hümmel+Adana garrison vs Turks
Dutch_guy: Günther von Kastilien+FHA+Peter von Kastilien+2 peasant archer regiments vs Poles
Xdeathfire: Friedrich Scherer+SHA vs French army
Stig: Ansehelm von Kastilien+Thorn garrison vs Poles
Stig: Ansehelm von Kastilien vs Poles outside Thorn
Make sure you got fixes installed properly before fighting

whos the new king of outremer? ulrich von hummel?
Conrad Salier.
wait so whats the deal with ulrich being "prinz of antioch" if he doesnt inherit outremer?
I think Hümmel was reassigned as Count of Adana.
Welcome, McIwoo: I've updated the playlist in the first post of the Chancellor and Governors Reports thread to include two spare Bavarian avatars: Markus and Matthias Steffen. You are welcome to take your pick. Overknight is welcome too, if he wants to stay in the House of Bavaria (as most players seem to want to stay in their old House when reincarnated).
In the light of what gibson91921 has said about the succession, what is going on? Siegfried von Kastilien is so young and far away from Prinz Jobst in the family tree, I can't make sense of it. It seems random (perverse, even).
But we have to make do. Any one without an avatar or with an aging avatar want to pick up or reserve Siegfried? I'd prefer the Emperor/Prinzes to go to long-stayers who we know can be relied upon to stick with the PBM. Right now we have Ituralde and Overknight without avatars - would either of you consider switching House to pick up Siegfried? Alternatively, we might reserve Siegried for FLYdude as Fredericus is getting on a bit. I am sure any of those three players would do a great job as Emperor.
I could pick up Siegfried when Henry pops off, but I was starting to get attached (or resigned!) to the idea of Elberhard and anyway that would make it a bit of deja vu for everyone, so a fresh face might be best.
Who becomes Prince is quite unreliable and even varies from turn to turn. It might even be that its not Siegfried. Remember when I ran the test and got it to be Peter? (Siegfried was of age by then too)
My more recent tests two turns ago designated Fredericus as Prince.
