I have implemented the final part of the Crusade Event, marked as #10 in my original post. You didn't think I'd let everyone who stayed at home be bored, did you?
yeah I know, but where? I doubt I could get a ship back to my land, most are being used at the moment, but I have nowhere else to go...Quote:

ugh, Hypatios Soter :sick:
woad&fangs .. when you going to post that story?
Which story?
Check your pm!
And the other shoe drops.
KHAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!
It's the old bait and switch boys.
Guess there will be a party somewhere in the Empire as we gather for a little Jihad bashing. :beam:
Jihad bashing party, will there be cake?
the cake is a lie
Ouch. That sort of thing is never fun to go through.
I guess it won't take me as long to get the death story done as I expected. It should be done tomorrow, so you might as well gain IC knowledge now if you'd like. The details are still unknown, but there was a battle, Mark is dead, the army's gone, Turks sit in Caesarea with about half of what they originally had.
For those of you who remember the death of Fredericus von Hamburg, this one will be not at all like it. :beam:
Markianos is dead!! :dizzy2:
And I thought that we have 'jedi knights' protecting our generals!!! :inquisitive:
So Mark did not slip and fall down a wet flight of stairs? :clown:Quote:

But at least with this game, you can get back up on the horse. :beam:
FD, why did you sally...was it nearly time?
Sorry to hear the result though.
I want to know why you sallied too!
I can't look at the save but as I remember then a large Asteri army was near Caesarea. Right?
Damn.. I really liked Markianos :beam:
Our first loss, and on the eastern front, and right before the jihad launch. Rough! My sympathies FD.
Battle deaths with these jedi generals are so unpredictable because they're so tough you really can't tell what could possibly kill them. Set up a few SP battles with generals against even the most elite spearmen and they just don't die, but every once in awhile...
:egypt:
Sad to see Markianos go, flyd. Especially since we've got the Jihad against us...
Um, in other news... Ibn-Khaldun and I are trying to set up a LotR style game for EB 1.1 (the mod for RTW); check this thread for more info. Current status has 5 players in, the faction being the Arche Seleukeia (the Seleucids). Despite the fact that we would start with plenty of territory, if we mod it somewhat, we could have an actually pretty difficult campaign ahead of us.
So... anybody interested?
Love to WH, but too busy at the moment, I'm afraid. I'll check it out if uni things cool down somewhat. :2thumbsup:
I've just noticed that in both KotR and LotR that the game's second chancellor has been the first avatar to die. Take note for the sequel.
This poses a small problem with the rules which I forgot to anticipate. Technically, this breaks the oaths of loyalty for Zigavinos Vasilakios (rossahh) and Ioannis Kalameteros (deguerra). However, this causes a bit of unnecessary havoc within the system. Since this is not really discussed in the rules, I will do the following:
1) Zigavinos Vasilakios (rossahh) will be assumed to have immediately sworn a new oath to Ioannis Kalameteros (deguerra) to prevent any time of extra rank loss.
2) If Zigavinos Vasilakios (rossahh) does not want to re-swear to Ioannis Kalameteros (deguerra), then he simply needs to say so and it will be treated as if the oath was never sworn so that Zigavinos can reswear to someone else without the potential 5 turn delay.
It is also worth noting that since 1116 AD had already started at the time that Markianos Ampelas died, Ioannis Kalameteros (deguerra) successfully met the 5 turns at Patrikios rank requirement for Dux. He has now been demoted to Antypatos, but he can advance as far as Dux now without any time requirements. Note also that Thessalonica now belongs to Ioannis Kalameteros (deguerra).

Remember guys: IC, you know nothing. :yes:

Mark, Mak, and Ioannis all met their ranks in 1110. Mak met his during 1110. Mark and Ioannis met theirs in the beginning of 1110. TC said that's basically the same thing.
So, 1111, 1113, 1114, 1116, and 1117 are the years. 1117 will be "turn 5" for both Mak and Ioannis since Mark is dead. But, Mark being dead knocks Ioannis out one turn early. So, it will just be Mak in 1117.
*edit*
Of course degeurra can fix this by just giving land to someone in his chain with no land...
Are you sure there GH. Can't I place a call back down to Cairo and get a heads up from the inside...? You know, ex-Officer is Caliph's army, etc etc :balloon2:Quote:

You want to hire a boat, beat the Crusaders to Cairo, and make your way into the Caliph's inner circle as a baptised Orthodox while there's a genocide going on, be my guest. :smartass:Quote:
