It's easier for me if I don't have to answer to all the legal questions in the Council. :yes:

I see no reason why you shouldn't do it, either. Actually, I kind of like it, so keep it up.
Agree totally.Quote:

also, whats the Agora for? i know its just another IC place, but like what kind of posts will we see there?
The library says this: "Informal IC Discussion thread, for general roleplaying and interaction outside the Council."
Which is what I expected. Basically, you can form personal alliances with others there, just agree to second Edicts in the next council, conspire to overthrow the Basileus or whatever.
lol yeah and then we'll see who ever tries that in the bottom of a pit.
If you want an idea of what the Agora is, take a look at the Hippodrome in LotR. It's going to be something like that - without the races, obviously...
Or for an older thread, the Tavern of KotR. The Agora is actually closer in spirit to the Tavern than the Hippodrome, I feel.
ahhh thank you horus
Looks like WH already explained why the Agora was created. ~:)
That's (partly) why I'm here :smile:
By the way:
I realize now we should have done something like that since the beginning - and I intend to put a part in the Library (in the first post; underneath Recently Enacted Laws) for it. I'd be very grateful if someone could post the current edict situation in this format:Quote:

Seconded: names of the seconders.
And so on, Edict after Edict.
If nobody does it, I'll be free tomorrow afternoon around 5-6 GMT+2 to take care of it. Would save me time, though :yes:
post this where? I don't mind doing itQuote:

Thanks for the help!
And now... Off to studying :study: :smash:
There will be only one Council thread. Each time a new session begins, either me or WH, will declare the session open but we will not start another thread. I think we have something important to discuss even if it's not Council session at the moment.Quote:
OOC: I cannot propose this in a more IC way, what I mean is that we should keep the eddicts, the people who proposed them and who seconded them, written and updated on the first or second post of each Council thread, so we don't need to go searching between posts... at least the game masters will have the most of the work done to start polling
good luck for your exam.. or test... or whatever it is :beam:
I'm only going to post the first two seconders, since some eddicts were seconded by more than two ppl
Edict 1.1: Following Regular Armies shall be created: 1rst Syrian Army(in Antiocheia), 1rst Lydian Army(in Sardis), 1rst Parthian Army(in Hekatompylos).
Proposed: Basileus Antiochos Syriakos
Seconded: Theodotas Termessou Pisidikes, Aratos Arethousas Syriakes
Edict 1.2: Send envoys to the steppe nomads of the Sakae tribes, to propose a complete cease-fire.
Proposed: Andromachos Syriakos
Seconded: Basileus Antiochos Syriakos, Bithys Nisaias Parthiakes
Edict 1.3: That whatever part of the 1st Persian and/or 1st Syrian armies that can be spared from their primary mission move to annex the town of Phraspaa in Atropatene to deny the Arshkanig access to their Hai lapdogs, to prevent a combined assault on our northern border.
Proposed: Phanias Laodikeias Lydikes,
Seconded:
Edict 1.4: After a succesful mission against the Egyptians on Mikro Asia. The 1st Lydian Army is to conquer independent Halikarnassos. Only if the diplomatic relations with the Makedons remain peaceful, if not the army is to retreat and defend Sardis. The Syrian Army will board transportation ships (the cheapest fleets we can build) and invade Kypros. After a succesfull mission they board on the fleet back to Antiocheia.

Seconded: Basileus Antiochos Syriakos, Phanias Laodikeias Lydikes
Eddict 1.7: Diplomats should be sent to Baktria to give and get trade rights and form a new alliance with them.
Proposed: Basileus Antiochos Syriakos
Seconded: Aratos Arethousas Syriakes,
Wow..
Now we have all the current edicts here..
Thanks.. you made my life a lot easier since I was planning to do that myself :beam:
No problem, I don't mind relieving the GM's from some boring tasks, once in a while:beam:
Perfect, cheers!
And yeah, I've got a maths test and an economics one tomorrow...
ouch, im good at maths, but I still think maths is shit. the only math you really need is taxes and what not. thats all they should teach you in school, and if you need/want more than that, then they should have a separate class for it that you sign up for. theres a whole lot of highschool that you really don't need. (like careers/civics class, what a frakkin waste of time that was, even french has its uses!)
Civics were a waste I agree, but I don't have them this year...
Another waste of time was Philosophy... ok some times it was great to learn debating skills (I called this part of the class true philosophy), but the theory part of the class (which I called Philosophy History) and the tests were just memory, I managed the 1st year, but on the 2nd I was fed up, getting alot of pressure from the other classes and just cheated all year. got the same grade as the 1st year
I don't agree on you about maths tough, they can help develop your problem solving skills.
Council session will end soon.. I'll give another 2 hours and then I'll close the session and the poll will go up.
~:)
Ok.. I have to apologize..
Looking the save and our current diplomatic relations I found out that we are still allied to Baktria,Hayasdan and Pahlava. Also we are allied to Pontos and Makedonia. I don't know why I thought that they canceled the alliance with us.
I think confused it with another Seleukid campaign I have going at the moment.
I hope that this kind of mistake will not happen again.
:shame:
Don't worry, the Pahlava will attack soon enough.
Yeah.. that's true though.
if they dont we can always just send an army of like a hundred assassins after their best general that might piss them off enough :chinese:
Lol.. looks like all Edicts will pass.. Don't think that it is possible for them not to pass even if the rest who haven't voted will vote no to all Edicts. ~:)
The save will be made available tomorrow.
So people.. This thing here is finally ready to start!
~:)
...and there was much rejoicing!
Hax you should mention what would be the army type for your Satrapy' Army.
~:)
Ibn-Khaldun, have you done the Satrapal armies yet or is that happening on your taking of the save?
I have vista and installed RTW on Program files.... I can't find the savegame folder...~
EDIT:
Hmm I found it lol the old EB 0.81 savegames are here....
Should I have to EB installed now the vanilla and the WotB on the same Rome total war folder... so do I put the WotB save game with the vanilla saves? I'll try it, if I'm doing something wrong tell me please.
I'm just going to check the state of the empire than I'll officially declare that i took the save, if no one does it in the mean time...
All armies will be recruited while we play the game..Quote:

I'm sorry but I can't help you since I don't have Vista. ~:(Quote:

Of course they aren't.. It would be cheating to give us those armies in the beginning of the game..
We need to recruit them..
That is the reason I need to know what army types to recruit in Satrapies and why I ask permission to recruit units that belong to Satrap..
kingsnake, you should put the save in the saves subfolder of EB. If there isn't one, you can just create it (it's normally created by default upon firing up the game).
Thanks WH but I already found the save folder, it's very hidden in my User folder... its a bit unpratical to get there so I'll try to create a save folder on the EB folder.
I've just had two problem's, one may be computer related though:
I tried taking screenshots during and post battle to prove my victory, and make the battle report thread more interessting, but, all they've saved as is blank screens (ie: complete blackness), I'm currently using infraview, converting the files doesn't help either
secondly, I got a MotH, hit escape to save (as per LotR rules) but the scrolls gone, this I think affects our game the most if its RTW
lil' help?
Have you turned anti-aliasing off? This might be the problem if you forgot to do that.Quote:

This have happened to me a lot. Probably every time I have reinstalled RTW I always forgot to turn anti-aliasing off. And later when I want to look at the pics I made I see only dark screen. :wall:
Also.. it's entirely possible to minimize the MotH offer, save it and have it there when you reload the save. Just don't use Esc.
Btw.. who was the adopter?
Can we still use the royal council when our character has any in-game question when there is no session open?
test done ;)
You can use the Council if you want to ask some stuff. You just have to do it IC.
Royal Council is always open for that.
But if you have some questions over the Rules or something like that then this OOC thread is fine enough.
About the palace..
Well.. who doesn't want to live there? :beam:
not sure, it doesnt say benefactor at the top
I am curious, what is the procedure regarding character movement? I am currently in Antiocheia with 2 others and nobody is in nearby Damaskos (I believe). Is there anything preventing me from moving to Damaskos in order to govern and defend it more effectively?
You can move around in the Arche the way you want to and no one can't stop you. If you want you can cross the Empire from one side to another and do it as many times as you want.
If you go to Damascus then you can't set the build queue or recruitment queue but if someone besiege the place then you can use it's garrison to defend it. That goes for every settlement. If you are in settlement and it enemy besiege it you can fight the battle with the towns garrison.
what if theres another general of equal rank and influence in the city... who takes the fight?
I propose a good ol' fashioned bare-knuckle fist fight. bare-knuckle boxing solves all sorts of problems!
If their rank is equal then that player will fight whos avatar is older.

Thanks. By the way, I will be going away on Thursday to attend to a funeral (my grandma died) and, since it's 110 miles away, I will have to spend some days there. What's worse, the place is internet free, meaning that I won't be able to do anything until I come back on Sunday. During this time, you can appoint an "intern satrap", rule it yourself, or do it whichever way you want. Just thought you should know I won't be here to do it. :shame:Quote:

I agree with this. You can find the WotB mod in Rules thread.Quote:

I can load it with the vanillaEB and the WotBEB...:dizzy2:
Ok.. I'll try to load it myself and if I can open the save then there is something wrong with your settings or something like that..
Going to do it at this moment..
EDIT: Looks like kingsnake can open it so there must be something wrong with your EB then
argh what the shit!!! im gunna lose all my frigging campaigns again arent I...
Thanks, I will make sure to do that (damn bureaucracy!). Which reminds me, though: I haven't updated it yet to show that I'm a satrap. I'll have to do that too.Quote:

That way I can carry on my nice Saka, Baktria and Roma campaigns.
00jebus unfortunately there is no easy uninstall button:shame:
Celtic_Punk I'm not sure but I think you should be able to play your campaigns. In WotB mod we have couple of minimods merged together that should improve AI. I think you should ask WH what to do since he made the mod and can help you more than I.
Also what 00jebus suggested is a good idea.. make back ups. Since others seem to open the save without problems then I have know idea what is wrong with your EB:shame:
Another one in Sardis with navarro951 - I must be an attractive satrap to lure so many here! :laugh4:
Or they all are awaiting some action against KH or Mak.
Perhaps, but that's unlikely. I mean, it's me we're talking about. :smug2:

Btw.. Happy Birthday Rodico Stak! :balloon2:
Thank you very much!
My birthday's not until the 16th (tomorrow), but I like to celebrate early anyway!
:laugh4:
I am completely lost as how to put the uploaded rar. or zip into the Report room :help:
right-click on the file where you uploaded it, pick "copy link location, go to your post in the report room-select edit, pick the 'insert link' icon and paste the link in,let us know you're done and what you did with the save this turn, and hit save, and you're golden (also, after the url tags, paste in the new name of the save, as per the FAQ)Quote:

Then, click "add entry". Enter the name of your file in the line that is labeled name. Far below that, there is a line labeled "upload file". Click browse and upload your file. Then click the submit button.
In the next screen (the one you got after following the link above), right click on the link to your file. Select "copy link location". That is the link that you will post.
ok i got it thanx guys
also as i am new to posting how do u edit posts? which button do u press? do i have it or am i just not seeing it?
since you are not a full member yet you cannot edit posts. Wait a few weeks or so and keep active and youll become a full member.
Grr...sorry guys, I have to drop out, I can't think in 5 directions at once (Job, private projects, mafia, LotR and school for the inquisitive).
Well.. it was I think 2am here already when I posted it ~;)Quote:

Sry to hear that. But I understand since I have the same kind of thoughts about the LotR.Quote:

No one can't recruit anything by himself. If they could we would be out of money before Chancellor or Basileus(at the moment I'm both :beam:) can get the save.Quote:

you need rule sets, your own forum (or one based in the .org) a decently sized group interested, and alot of dedication and time. Ibn and WH could help more.
First of all you need to find some time to take care of the game. As a gamesmaster(GM) you really need to know everything that is going on in it. Something like this needs some time, especially in the beginning!
Then you'll need some rules. What they would look like is entirely up to you. WotB is using modified LotR rules. LotR(Last of the Romans) is another PBM campaign that is currently in progress and it is the successor of such great games as WotS(Will of the Senate) and KotR(King of the Romans).
Rules can be written before you have chosen mod and a faction but also after that.
Now, when you choose a faction you should choose one that people like to play. Actually in EB all of the factions are good for a game like this. You can let people themselves pick a factions though. This is how we picked AS.
After you have rules and faction you can start looking people who could join your game.
WotB(Will of the Basileus) had a bit different start since this game born from a simple thought that perhaps there are some people who would like to play such a game using EB. I never imagined it to become so big so fast!
Thanx Ibn ill look into everything you wrote! But like i said it will be long before i have fully established what i want to create!
