2 quick questions:
1 Are we downloading the savegame directly from here, or emailing it to each other in a chain?
2 Is the Bug-fixer patch the one that's stickied at the top of the Colosseum? Obviously haven't downloaded it yet but will do that either tonight or tomorrow.

1) From here, the games will be uploaded through the Org system.
2) Yep, that's it. It installs easily with no problems.
I've finished half of my turn and I will complete the rest tomorrow night. Apologies if this is a bit slow, but I am doing a lot of micromanagement and taking a great deal of notes so that I can do a decent write up. So, expect my game to be uploaded late tomorrow night with the write up to be completed by the end of friday.
Yes, let's use the uploader - then people can't run off with the savegames. Also people who are not playing may want to download the saves and see how things look.
TinCow, you are not being slow. Most of us have day jobs or studies too.
Take your time, taking notes is a good thing , looking forward to your write up.!
:balloon2:
TinCow, in the upload section there is a PBM file , dated from the 19th of october.
Now I don't remember if that was when I uploaded the save or if it's your new save, that CountMRVHS should continue on.:bow:
:balloon2:
I'm assuming it's your save, Dutch_guy. It's probably an idea if subsequent players call their savegame files something like ERE_370.rar, to identify the date (e.g. 370AD) and avoid confusion.
yes , that sounds good Simon, we should start doing that, from now on:bow:
:balloon2:
I will name it properly when I upload and I will post in here as well. I am ashamed to say I wasn't able to finish last night. I had several large battles that I was not expecting, so I still have five turns to finish. I don't have work tomorrow though, so I promise I will stay up until I'm done tonight.
On the positive side, while I can't play at work, it has been a bit slow this week and I can do the write-ups. I completed the write-up for my first day's play yesterday and I will be done with yesterday's turns by this afternoon. As such, the write-up shouldn't be more than a day behind when I complete the game.
Is it to late to join?
No, come on board - I think it works on a list basis. Dutch_guy is in charge of maintaining the list of players, but by my reckoning you'd be the sixth player. I'm not sure whether the campaign will last 50 years, but it may well.Quote:

The campaign might be over by then, though with a little bit of defensive play, there should be enough time.
:balloon2:
Thanks
Ok, I have finished and uploaded the save. The file is PMB-BI-ERE-383ad.zip in the uploads section. More conveniently, just use this link:
http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/...-ERE-383ad.zip
Sorry for the delay, I had no less than 16 major battles in the last five turns along with a few minor skirmishes. Things have worked out well though and I think the next person will be happy with their position. I will have the write-up complete and posted tomorrow afternoon.
is it too late for me 2 join 2?
Ok, thanks for posting the link TinCow, it is now CountMRVHS'sturn.
Littlegannon, of course you can join, I've added you to the list, you get the save once Destroyer of Hope is finished.:bow:

Hi guys,
Just wanted to let you know I've studied the Bug-fixer long & hard and decided that I don't want to install it just yet. I'm having much fun with BI as it is, right now, and I just want to play around with it some more before I go making changes. Some of the changes to retinues & traits in particular seem like they have the potential to unbalance the game. This is not in any way to denigrate the fine work of Player1; I only feel like I want to get all the mileage out of the "vanilla" version first. Plus what can I say, I'm nervous about deleting/renaming files and folders.
So, sorry about that, but you can go ahead and pass the game along to the next player in line. Looks like you've got a good group of people interested anyway, and my stepping down might allow people at the end of the line to get a chance to play.
I'll be following your progress and updates. Best of luck! :charge:
CountMRVHS
Ok, to bad you can't play, you could think about making a copy of your BI Data folder and then a data folder with the bug-fixer installed- that is , if you have the space on your HD.
Well, at least for now, to keep the pbm moving- so to speak - we'll move on to the next one on the list , meaning Simon.
CountMRVHS, if you want to join ( again )at any other moment, feel free to post here.
:balloon2:
OK, thanks for the heads up, Dutch_guy. I will download the savegame and get on it. :charge:
EDIT: Just read the write-ups - nice work by both my predecessors! And TinCow, what can I say but "wow!" - you had one heck of a decade!
Seconded! Excellent work, TinCow!Quote:

It would be great if the Celts moved in to europe, that would be great, and would add a lot to the randomness of the game
:balloon2:
just read the write up, very exciting gentlemen!
please carry on!
Yes, I have to say that the stories are very well-written. :yes: And many pictures. Me very much like!
Good job!
Just to let people know, it is now 388AD and so I am about halfway through my decade. The Huns are gone and we are marching on Rome. :charge:
thnkz alot can u write the order down so we can see the order
The order of play can be found in my first post.
:balloon2:
Another holding post - a project deadline has sucked up my gaming time, but it is now 391 AD and I should be able to wrap things up on Friday evening or over the weekend. Probably won't get to Rome though. :shrug:
Hmm, i'm going to have to back out of this guys. If i'm lucky i'll be getting Civ4 tommorow, if not lucky then over the weekend. Either results in addiction and me not playing BI, so take me out of the lineup. I am looking forward to reading about the rest of the reign though.
Ok simon, take your time, we'll destroy Rome some other day.
ChaosLord, I've taken you out of the line up, if you want to continue at any other moment , I'll add you again.
:balloon2:
OK, I've ended my ten years and uploaded the file as ERE_393S.zip or some such.
The next player should be able to end the campaign - we need three more provinces and have armies about to strike Rome and Carthage. One more push and we're there!
(I wonder if barbarian BI campaigns are longer? The WRE and ERE ones seem rather brief.)
