I have to agree. Turns should only be played one time anyway. I committed a gaffe of my own in one of the games (won't say which! :clown: ) and you just hav to roll with it.
At any rate, no harm was done, and you used the old save ayway. No harm, no foul :2thumbsup:
Look at it this way, it makes Anglo-Welsh relations more...interesting.
Hey, you guys seem like you have no lives and want more gaming fun on your plate! :clown:
Check out the Multiplayer Tournament if you want to try your hand online. You can't get enough Medieval 2 Total War. If you have never tried online, that's ok, most everyone I know hasn't.
And so I'm not hijacking the topic, I agree with PK and Zim. Some of the screw-ups are just more interesting anyways.
Unfortunately, I don't have the internet connection for that kind of thing. :sweatdrop:
I think it's pretty much been settled that reloading is not allowed. No need for everyone to chime in that they agree. 3 of the 5 players here are new to hotseat games, and when I first started I had to ask to see if I could reload to make an adjustment regarding an agent move (obviously, I couldn't ~;p).
Any future rules concerns should be pmed to me first. As the GM, I'm the one who has to be the badguy and tell people what they can't do. :clown:
Gotcha! :bow:Quote:

All bow down before my mighty Empire!

Doings have been afoot in the Crusades campaign, but not that its over ,I'll download the save now, and I promise to have it done in, say, two hours?
Is that good? :yes:

http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/Britannia-3-2.zip
Done!
The deadline is more of a "I need to know if you need more time within 48 hours" than a strict deadline to finish the turn. :yes:
I have it on my usb key - if my wife allows it I may be able to play it this evening and upload it before we move tomorrow..don't hold your breath though, I have lots of boxes to pack
:no:
I see you Phonicsmonkey. :clown:
Any word from the missus?
wales is up!
http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/Britannia-3-3.sav
now to appease mrs monkey....
Uhh... Problem Zim. You have men in your fort and i can't return to my own land... So I'm gonna have to lay seige to it...
Go ahead and take it with your catapults (did you reaad my pm the other day?).Quote:

Ok, we're rapidly nearing the 48 hours mark. :yes:
Roadkill is online but in the Gameroom.
He's been online a lot the past couple days. I'm hoping he'll check the throneroom and see that post. Otherwise I may need to find a sub tomorrow.
:sweatdrop:
You could just shoot him a PM...
:laugh4:
I prefer not to if I don't have to. It seems more like hounding the person then. :clown: I guess I will, he only has a few hours, technically.
http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/?C=M;O=A
Phew! Made it Sorry for the delay.
It's up for Cheetah
http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/Britannia-3-5.zip
Done. I love this turn. :2thumbsup: It is started. ~;)
Unfortunately, I cannot upload the savegame for some reason; I will try it later today.
I don't suppose you could email it? Will it not upload at all, or just not to the PBM filespace?
Edit: Starting your war with a bang, Cheetah?

Also, phonicsmonkey, sorry I mixed up the name of your king in the council thread. In retrospect I think it fits the norse, I mean what would they care about the name of your king, when he is dead anyway. ~;p ~;)
Hey no worries cheetah, I plan on spelling King Haakon's name wrong on his gravestone too...:smash:
Monkey, you have exceeded your quota. To answer your question, all were wiped out. My angry vikings cut them down. ~;)
Cheetah, hark at the words of the ancient prophesy:
'O Feidelm Prophetess, how do you see our host?’
‘I see it blood-stained, I see it red,’ said Feidelm and she spoke as follows:
I see a fair man who will perform weapon-feats, with many a wound in his flesh. A hero's light is on his brow. His forehead is the meeting-place of many virtues.
In each of his eyes are the seven jewel-bright pupils of a hero. His spearpoints are unsheathed. He wears a red mantle with clasps.
His face is beautiful. He amazes women-folk.This lad of handsome countenance looks in the battle like a dragon.
Like is his prowess to that of Cú Chulainn of Murthemne.I know not who is this Cú Chulainn of fairest fame, but this I do know, that by him the army will be bloodily wounded.
I see a tall man in the plain who gives battle to the host. In each hand he holds four small swords with which to perform great deeds.
He attacks with his gáe bolga and also with his ivory-hilted sword and his spear. He can ply them on the host. Each weapon as he casts it has its own special use.
This man wrapped in a red mantle sets his foot on every battle-field. Across the left wheel-rim of his chariot he attacks them. The distorted one kills them. I see that he has changed from the form in which hitherto he has appeared to me.
He has moved forward to the battle. Unless heed be taken, there will be destruction. I think that it is Cú Chulainn mac Súaldaim who now comes to you.
He will lay low your entire army. He will slaughter you in dense crowds. Ye will leave with him a thousand severed heads.
The prophetess Feidelm does not conceal your fate.
Any luck with the save, Cheetah?:clown:
http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/Britannia-4-1.rar
It is up!!! :2thumbsup:
Got the save and should upload the new one in a while. :yes:
Save is up! Britannia-4-2.zip
Giving what's been going on in the Teutonic thread, I feel I should clarify a few things in case they come up later.
-Subs have full access to the old saves of the faction they're subbing for to look around before making a turn. This will help them determine the situation for the faction they're subbing for.
-Subs should not make any drastic changes in the actions of the faction they're subbing for (i.e. attacking the faction's long time ally, unless they knwo the original palyer waws planning to).
-If you do think someone improperly used a save and sent you information you shouldn't have, please do not forward it in it's entirety to me if it includes your faction's plans or those of your allies. I don't want to know, and it would be almost impossible for me to pretend that I didn't read the information. Just tell me in vague terms what they did (this guy got into Scotland's save and gave away troop positions, etc.) and I'll figure something out.
sorry, this is probably my fault but if you're posting the save can you put it in a new post next time?
only I was looking out on the forum page for a new post in this thread - didn't occur to me that you might edit your old one...so I missed this
anyways, I'll get to it tonight
On my computer with wireless it gives a url for the save when I upload, but with my dial-up computer it doesn't, so I just posted the name of it. It's in the PBM filespace, hit "view", then the most recently updated thing twice.
Best I can do, I've been banished form the comp with wireless (it's in the kitchen) while cooking is being done. :sweatdrop:
lol @ King Henry banished from the kitchen
that's fine, I don't really need the URL, I can look it up on the upload page like you said
but if you could create a new post (rather than editing the old one) then the thread gets bumped to the top of the forum page and I know there's an update that I need to check...
is that ok? just means I don't have to keep scanning the thread for edits...
:laugh4: I was confused earlier when Gibson editted a post of his to add a save for our Frozen Crusade game. I think in both cases the poster was unsure whether double-posting was ok. I'll do it anyway from here on in, noone's warned me for it yet.
check out the Imperial Library then, TC's made a lot more than 2 posts in a row there :clown:
oops, better get out of this thread. I know you never wanted me in here as you started it right in the middle of the night in England :clown:
:2thumbsup:
:help: He discovered our secret plan to exclude anyone anywhere near GMT from our game (cheetah slipped through somehow. :clown: ).Quote:

P.S. I figured it would take a day or two to get all the players we needed. I was pretty surprised we had five so quickly.
:laugh4: fair enough, but remember the Franconian Lutheran ninjas are far more effective so I'm hardly worried :clown:Quote:

We're on opposite sides of the map in that game and Tristan is annihilating me. :clown:

On a more serious note, I agree that the the new save should be posted in a totally new post, even if it means "double posting". I have noticed people not get to their save for awhile since they didn't check for edits.
As for the rules, double-posting seems to be ok, spam is not. So, as long as it is not "spam", your good.
Then from here on I shall double post!
Since the subject of how much time can be given for people to play their saves has come up in another game, and the holidays are upon us, I need to ask a question.
How many of you will have some trouble playing between the start of next week and New Year's Day?
If more than half the players are going to be out of comission for that week and a half, I'm thinking of doubling the amount of time people have to play saves to 4 days (or even more). If all of them (but me, I have no life and I'm free :clown: ) we may go on hiatus. If only one or two can't make it, then I'd like to see if they could find a sub. :yes:
I was just thinking about that
I will probably be able to play a turn or two on either xmas eve, xmas day or boxing day
but I'm leaving for hong kong on the 27th and I don't get back 'til the 3rd Jan
I would REALLY rather not have to hand over to a sub, but if that's the ruling I guess I'll live with it
Well, that's about ten days from now. We'll see what happens. :yes:
If enough people are having problems over the holidays, I'll definately lengthen the time limits. That's what I'm trying to check about. :yes:
here's the save
http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/Britannia-4-3.zip
You're up, Roadkill.
hey phonicsmonkey, (was Sinan at first, your avatars look similar, and hes always hanging about here being unproductive :P)
just to let you know, if you need a sub i'm more than willing. zim knows im not the kind of person to screw around with your faction, and if you leave me some precise instructions im sure it wouldnt be too great of a problem
hey, thanks for the offer deguerra - I'll definitely take you up on it if the GM rules that way...:2thumbsup:
I don't mind if you set up subs in advance. It makes things easier. :yes: deguerra is certainly trustworthy. Ireland would be safe in his hands for a turn.
sure, but I won't sub unless I have to because I'm having too much fun playing the turns myself :2thumbsup:
Hey guys, I am in need of a sub. I will be away for christmas vacation for a week. I'm terribly sorry.
That's fine. What days do you need the sub, Roadkill?
The 23rd to the 29th of December.
Ok, if you play your current turn soon, there's a fair chance you won't come up again until after the Holidays. I expect everyone to go a bit slower next week, and will be lenient on turn times.
In the Grand Campaign hotseat, France comes early, though. Would you mind if I or a sub you trust took your first turn if it comes up then? Just leave instructions and they'll be followed. :yes:
Okay, I'll do the this turn a little bit later, need to finish some homework first.
otherwise, again, Id be happy to
I don't want to post in the Tuetonic hotseat thread, since I figure the next player will be more likely to check the thread if he notices the guy before has the last post. Thus, I'll do this here.
The Teutonic game is moving! Better yet, since the same player is going for the Crusade hotseat, that means that one will be moving as well!
Woot! :jumping:
Now that that's out of my system...I may be taking you up on your sub offer, deguerra, if Roadkill can't get to his turn soon. :sweatdrop:
send me a PM. I would be able to do it around about 18 hours from now, when I get home from work.
Ok, that'll give him about a full day to play his turn. I guess the homework took too long, but it's more important than the game, anyway. :yes:
Done but sorry to busy to put up the link, but it is in the pbm upload folder.
Alright, I'll go find it. I'll play it "soonish". :yes:
Here it is. Some stuff happened. PM's and/or Council post coming shortly.
http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/Britannia-4-5.zip
Done. Just cannot upload it. :clown:
http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/Britannia-5-1.rar
It is up. :2thumbsup:
yo wales, you are up boyo
http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/Britannia-5-3.zip
It is RK and he is on holidays, or not? IMO we should ask the sub to step in.
Hopefully Zim and RK worked something out for Wales. We'll see what happens.
Roadkill is supposed to be out after tomorrow (the 23). If he cant play by then, the sub will take of it. :yes:
Sorry, I don't think I can take it as I have to pack and prepare for the trip, so the sub can step in. I'll pm him the orders. Wait who is my sub?
deguerra's offered to do it if you'd like. :yes:
yeh im up for it roadkill just let me know what you want
Im taking Wales' save now. Would it be reasonable to propose an alliance with Scotland, given they are now in the same war, or am I going too far there as a sub?
right. im told scotland is unsure, so ill leave it for now and get on with things. ceasefire with england apparently. save will be here in a jiffy
personally I would leave it alone deguerra, roadkill can do that when he's back if he wants to - wales won't be disadvantaged in the meantime by keeping the status quo
thanks for subbing in so the show can go on!
Bwahaha...my evil plan is coming to fruition! :skull:
Actually, the old ceasefire just had to be destroyed when Wales needed to go through one of my river forts to get his army back into his territory after we made our deal. :yes:
here it is gents:
http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/Britannia-5-4.rar
hope .rar is ok, didn't propose the alliance, as yeh i figure it doesnt really matter. will pm roadkill telling him what ive done and PK that scotland is up. Zim, you are already neutral with wales, so no ceasefire necessary.
edit: roadkills inbox is full...guess itll have to wait until he comes back. just for reference, roadkill, I have a list of things I did, just let me know if you want to see it
It is Privateerkev then me! ~;)
