That's not the problem. I have saved the game and passed it on to others three times so far when attacked on the AI's turn. I'm still properly on-track with the dates.Quote:

Well, then it must be that some people have forgotten to turn on 4TPY mod before saving.Quote:

And the third in RTR-Platinum/Rome - Total War.
Should I delete these 3 as well?
Appreciate all the help!! ~:cheers:
:charge:
kill them all
Those are the 'musts'. (Unless you have BI, because then their will be a couple more)Quote:

A dam starts dying once it leaks the first drop. And so, you shouldn't 'leak' the first defeat.
Very 'dutch' :laugh4:Quote:

Let us not be down on it (or something like that, the man´s a genius :laugh4:)
Please answer my aformentioned questions and list every step you took in the process in excruciating detail and we will try to figure out what went wrong. The more detail, the more likely we can help you.
and BTW guys, don't forget to zip the save game files before you put them on the uploader. I noticed some recent ones are plain old .savs You can zip them using winrar, google it and download.
As the debate in the senate is heating up I just want it to make clear I am acting in character. Out of character, Í can´t wait to tangle with the Iberians and the Germans. They´re a lot more fun to fight than the Gauls :laugh4:
I do hope everyone else feels the same way and is not taking things personally.
Yeah man, I'm acting 'in character' also. So don't take anything I say too seriously either. This is my favorite debate to date, and I look forward to your replies on the Senate floor, DDW :laugh4:
Yes, this is fun, but I am also serious about my statements about the duel. Since this is entirely in-line with Roman politics, I would like to propose the following:
In the event I am not satisfied that my honor has been restored to me, I will play a multiplayer battle with any remaining accuser. Each person will command an identical force consiting of one Legion plus auxilia. The loser of the match will have his in-game character 'disposed of' with a charge into the nearest hostile stack.
About time we had a proper Roman scandal though. The Senate has been entirely too civil lately. I thank DDW and FLYdude for moving onto the impeachment thing. This PBM is actually starting to feel like Rome now! ~D
Guys.. Someone reply to me, I feel like am a ghost !!
Could I please join this campaign in the Upper house?
You're more than welcome from my side. (Espiecially if you second my motions ~:) )
I'll second yours if you second mine ~;)Quote:

Feel free to participate in the Senate deliberations and to vote on Wednesday.
Spies, eh?Quote:

Yes, you can vote and propose motions without an avatar.
I would like to urge people to avoid using diplomats, assassins and spies as avatars though. For diplomats, the total unwillingness of the AI to negotiate for anything means that pretty much every negotiation is a failure. Despite that, the Senate likes making motions that require attempts at negotiation... this means that diplomats are invariably going to pick up negative traits and lose influnece whether they like it or not. That said, they're still better than spies or assassins. These guys exist to be used and sent on missions. It would be silly to stop using them for their purpose simply because they might die. So far, in my turn at least, I have avoided using spies that represent players for dangerous missions, but this won't always be possible. In addition, the assassin has a very dangerous job and it's only through luck that the current one has survived as long as he has. (The kill he made under me was at about 58% odds... and that was about as good as can be expected for many jobs.)
So, essentially what I'm saying is that diplomats don't have a lot of potential in the long-run and spies and assassins will most likely have exceedingly short life spans. We have a LOT of under-age male family members. I highly encourage people to wait for one of those.
OK then, I will take a general in that case.
That's a good point but I wonder if we can recruit a couple of diplomats that are not player controlled for BS missions that the Senate wants but which are very unlikely to be accepted? If we could reserve the player controlled diplomats for trade rights, maps, donations (us to them) etc, so they can build up influence, it will help them and it may help us if we ever really need a diplomatic mission to succeed.Quote:

I agree we should discourage more people picking agents as avatars, but we should try to look out for the ones we have.
Unfortunately, Sextus Antio (Ignoramus) has lost all of his positive traits (actually all of his traits period). He doesn't have any negative ones yet, but his influence is now 100% from ancillaries.
haha that sounds perfect. It will also force us to make a 'model' legion + alae, for reference when raising new ones. The only thing I can say is, if your not happy with your avatar being 'hooting', don't go off trying to get yourself killed. Otherwise there won't be any crazy politicians roaming around Rome.Quote:

Members of the Senate, 268 Autumn
Also, just for info, here are the ages of the existing children:
Males: 0, 1, 5, 6, 8, 8, 11
Females: 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 4, 7, 9, 10, 11
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think women become marriable at 12. This means we could have 2-3 new avatars available for use before the end of my term. Beyond that it looks like the 4th term will produce only 1 new member but the 5th will produce up to 8.
I couldn't agree more. Still, I'm going to try to quell the 'riot' now as I've grown quite attached to Lucius and I rather suspect you would be a hard opponent in multiplayer :laugh4:Quote:

p.s. Welcome Silver Rusher !
p.s.s. YAKUBO, having some succes with the install ?
Thanks for updating the influence, TinCow - I've cut and pasted it onto the Senate FAQ. 5 year updates of Senate bios is fine.
I confess I'm not wildly keen about the current in-fighting at the Senate; I always enjoyed the cooperative aspect of PBMs. I certainly won't be fighting any duels in multi-player - I've never done it and probably would be dead before I'd formed up a line of attack. :embarassed:
DDW - Sorry but the install is still not working and Fathers Day took priority today :knuddel:
I wasted a few hours on Saturday trying to get it working and don't want to waste more time on it. I'll see how I feel next weekend and may have another go.
Thanks for your help and that of other members who gave advice ~:cheers:

@ TinCow,
Hey! don't worry about my Avatar dying man!! Send me on missions, as many as you want/need/feel like/think of.
Just go for it.
I’ll tell you why its not a problem:
1) I’m a LRP’er and what we learn is to deal with Character Death REALLY well (I lost a 4 year character, a General no less, last year. You just shrug if off and start the next character) :oops:
2) There’s no problem about NOT having an Avatar and voting in the upper house. If my Avatar dies and there isn’t a suitable replacement, I can just revert to “Senator Braden” :skull:
3) I have no attachment to the Avatar, I’d much rather let him get developed as a character with Traits etc by being used by YOU…and I’m happy to take whatever risk is involved thereof….than let him rot not doing anything and wasting the Republics Denarii in upkeep. :no:
So, use Decius Curtius please……use him as you would any other Spy.:2thumbsup:
