Kingdoms Britannia Hotseat: These Sceptred Isles (completed, Nightbringer+ Myth won)

Oh god, I jsut realized what happened. I thought Cardif had stone walls...

Why did I not kill that catapult when I saw it in the open!?!?
Ah well, I have already payed heavily for my mistake, but hopefully I can turn things back around.

To tell the truth I did likewise :yes:

Its good to know my friends/ allies are so helpful...
:)
no, its all good, I don't want to beat up on the new guy either.

I'm going to start a stories thread for TSI - feel free to contribute. Although my stories will be at least 3 or 4 turns behind depending on how sensitive the information is.

I ask any diplomatic messages for this game to be sent via PM here, I don't want another fiasco like last turn where I thought Monkey was gearing up to attack me.

I never underestimate anybody. Besides, the number of hotseats you are in here and at the TWC I'm sure you're up to speed by now..

Hmm, so I am facing a strong player, who is being given advice by both my allies...

Something doesn't seem right here...
:laugh4:

Things are going to be interesting for sure, with a little luck. Im still pretty flustered about the whole only AR thing though, enjoying myself nonetheless.

England is up.

To the King of Scotland: we Norse disapprove of double-dealing and intend to chastise you for it.

Ireland up!

Wales up.

Scotland up

The siege of Montgomery has been broken! Our people rejoice as a small band of brave warriors emerge from hiding, liberating the town.
To the North a Welsh fort is retaken and the English are annihilated, while their comrades helplessly watch from hiding in their ships. To the south the siege of Pennbroke is broken by a brave general, defying the odds in three successive battles driving back the English once again.

Sadly Cardiff is likely to once again fall under the yoke of English rule... Bad news from the south come in the form of ragged survivors, our brave men in our small invasion force have been annihilated. Perhaps they should have been used to defend? Is this the mistake that will lead to the defeat of our great nation?

The war goes on, English giving their all to crush us while our valiant men defy them with our every move! The outcome is however still bleak if no one take advantage of how vulnerable English lands are, for their numbers seem endless.

Inbox full, left a visitor message.

Wow, I thought for sure I had Montgomery and Pembroke secure, I checked the woods pretty well. Oh well, I have plenty of forces standing by to besiege them anew, and deal with those hidden scum.

I'll make an image for this game tonight or tomorrow. I completely forgot we need one :yes:

England

Sorry Scotland, despite your claims of integrity I decided the die was cast and took Inverness, Aberdeen and Dumfries. Looking forward to testing your mettle!

Wales.

A rushed job and definitely not my best work. I'm at the office, doing this whle alt-tabbing so I don't get spotted, etc. etc. It needs some touching up, but It's better to hear some suggestions than trying to improve it on my own.

Bump.

Looks good Myth.

Don't know how I missed that Myth but thanks! Is there a way to blend the people in more?

How's this?

yeah that's it!

And can you make the crown bigger................so it covers the whole of Ireland? :laugh4:

srsly though, can it be a bit bigger? and can you find a handwritten calligraphy script to write the words in? It is a shakespearean quote after all...

Looks great!
The only thing I would say on top of what phonics said is that the grey text in the corners got a more unique font, and it might look better if "hotseat" and "hosted" were capitalized. Just my opinion though.

Oh and sceptred is spelled wrong. It's a deliberate misspelling because of the Shakespeare quote.

Also any chance we can add a sceptre?

We need someone to sub for Mithridate - see his profile.

I can do it :P

I guess I should do it really

Scotland is up
