Nice exit for the Merchant of Venice, AG, not quite as dramatic as dieing of consumption on the chamber floor, but still very fitting for his character.

Can't have every Austrian Elector die the same, now can we. :beam:
And thanks to the new Election this makes my comment in the Diet look quite stupid. Way to go. :2thumbsup:

Ironically Arnold's seems a near clone of similar traits at the moment.
Hard ass, but social, with a good beginning's of the Dread. If I remove some of the humour from the CoV it's quite similar.
How about that for an excom-reinstatement all in one day??
Well, it's not ideal but given the ball that the computer has thrown us, I figured it better to move on than spend 3 days discussing an excom that won't last longer than the next Chancellor's first act in office.Quote:

Isn't Lothar Steffen available for Bavaria?

Can anyone help?
Using notepad, create a .bat file with the following text in your med2 main directory. Make sure you save whatever you call the file with the .bat at the end or the computer won't read it as such:
medieval2.exe --io.file_first
Next, right click on the new file and select "create shortcut". Place the newly created shortcut on your desktop. Click on the shortcut, and a DOS window should apear with the above text in it and the game should load.
Hi AG,
Don't use the launcher, not needed.
Change the line to the following in your shortcut:
"C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\medieval2.exe" --io.file_first
I just had a look at the last save and noticed that the Byzantines have taken Constantinople back.... and the Hungarians didn't seem to have had the city garrisoned with more than 1 unit as almost all their forces are still intact and standing around in the region. :fainting:
So, in an effort to have it make sense ICly, I'll write a mini story on it as to what prompted this turn of events.
I'm back and have read everything but the Stories and Battle Reports. I have a lot of luggage unpacking, laundry, house cleaning, etc. to do though so it will be a while before I can really get back into it. Hopefully I'll find some time tonight or tomorrow to update the Library. I'll let you know what my choice is on the avatar front once I've had a look at the game.
Welcome back TC ~:)
Welcome back TC, don't worry about catching up, not much has happened while you were gone. :laugh4:
Thanks for the advise FH I'll do that.
Welcome back TC, don't mind OK, there has been at least three trips to the Deli while you were away.
alright! my first Diet since joining is underway!
Nice to see you TC,
I'm interested to see the situation...Quite a screwball to justify IC. So who are we at war with that we weren't before? the Danes? Arthus and Burges would give us easily defend-able boarders IIRC.
so we have FH in the race
Ok, I'll take Lothar Steffen, unless someone else has picked him up and I haven't noticed it. On a related matter, is it just me or do the avatars all seem crazily overpowered in traits? I seems like they have far too few 'flaws' and many are missing a bit of flavor for RP purposes. Also, it looks like some traits/retinue got spammed on people. How the hell did Gerhard Steffen get FOUR witch traits? Was he sleeping with the woman for 10 years or something? And why does Otto von Kassel have every relic in the known world, other than the two that are on other people, of course?
Going to work on the Library now.
Steffen happened to stand next to a magic 8 witch for 3 or 4 turns I think. Maybe more.
Otto has taken Jerusalem (I think that city gives up to 7 different relics for christians) for the second time and had a high piety. I'm considering upping the piety you need to get a relic on capturing.
Ah, that would explain Steffen. I guess he really WAS sleeping with her. The relics I don't mind so much, especially since in RL the Crusaders were always claiming to have found one thing or another. It just surprised me to see them all on Otto. I very much like the fact that Hans has the Holy Grail and is sailing back to Christendom. I will propose legislation about the Grail at this diet. I think it would be good to let the boatload of relics on Otto die with him though, rather than transferring them on in perpetuity to artificially create crazy high piety avatars.
Let Otto go out in a blaze of glory... and thus loosing the boatload of artifacts. Make for good storyline for those reappearance of relic, and Saint Otto?
Btw, FH, I seems to remember fort building, as in totally cut off access of the AI to one's interior, in RTW has the effect of making the AI much less aggressive in that they mostly will not attack me as they usually will not siege a fort to move into the unprotected interior. I think the WoTS face the same events with the building of forts to secure the border on the Danube. Do you think it is still a feature in M2TW. If so, it might be a bad idea to build forts.
I haven't ever built a fort in a SP game in M2TW so I don't know what effect it has. ICly, it is a prudent thing to do however after losing Thorn.
I'll keep what you said in mind though and leave a few passages open to the AI. That's strictly OOC of course.
Library is updated except for:
Family Tree info (of-age children, wife, children in Bios)
AKAs in new Bios
Titles
House Info in Family Tree post
Famous Battles (I saw at least 1 new one)
The above stuff will be done later tonight. It took 2 hours just to do the rest of it and I'm tired.
On another note, what's up with the avatar orgy going on near Durazzo?
The avatar orgy in Durazzo is because the von Mahren's are going to join House Austria plus there was a few of them about to embark on a crusade to Damascus including Duke Leopold and Karl.
Like I said TC...there's been a few trips to the deli while you were away.
Including...would you believe it the only blood relative avatar of House Austria...Arnold is in the house.
It's page 20, a new Diet session and Tincow is back - I say we mark this with a new thread.
