Well, I'm new myself.

One question I do have is how long does it normally take to get to normal member status. Is it based on number of posts? after length of time? combination of both? how frequently does it happen?

I posted 3 consequetive times in one thread (normally I would've just merged them together into one larger message) in order to bump up my count in order to possibly trigger the change. There are a number of threads in the MTW Main Hall that I would like to respond to but I can't.

Welcome Just wait and behve and you will be a member soon enough~:cheers:

Hey there one and all,

Thanks for the outstanding welcomes I,ve recieved from the Guild membership. I really appreciate the sentiments and look forward to having the chance to converse with many of you. I want to say thanks in advance for the opportunities. I have been playing RTW ,and MTW and MTW before that for about six months or so. I consider myself a novice to the computer gaming world although I have been an avid boardgamer for many years. I have thouroughly enjoyed both the "Quietus' Guide to RTW" and the "Guide to RTW" by Froggbeasting. The advice given in them is already being put to good use. I am a little reluctant to try the "fixes" however, due to a lack of computer saavy. Perhaps I can get a little better at this in future.

Thanks again for the welcome,

Rotorgun~:)

To Frogbeastegg,

Sorry about the misspelling of you username, I did truly enjoy your work on the RTW guide you posted. Thanks a bunch for some great work.

Rotorgun

Hail Everyone,

I'm 19 years old and the byproduct of 1500 years or European Expansionism.

My Father's ancestors were mostly german with a little bit of english,
my Mothers side is mostly Scandinavian with a couple shots of Scotch.:barrel:

I firmly belive that some of my ancestors had to have been berzerkers as
I have a short temper, but I have mellowed out as I have grown older.

I very much enjoy political debate and history.

In early Febuary I had a choice either wait for Kotor 2 to come out or get RTW.
Since I am posting here you know which I chose, a month later I got MTW
and I was completely Hooked. Before then I had been oblivious to the TW franchise, and to ancient history.

I have found the guides both from frogbeastegg and the various posters very helpful. I've been lurking here for months, and i've learned more than i ever thought I would want to know.

I just got BI and I wanted to post my observations on the WRE campaign
but I found out to my dismay that am a junior member.

Welcome to the .org GAH!, sbroadbent, rotorgun, and Fiddling nero ~:cheers: ENjoy your stay :bow:

Welcome to the Org, Roberto, Clan MacGregor! ~:wave:

What happens when you go bankrupt in MTW? If you cannot pay for the support costs of some of your units, do they disband or become disloyal? If you have limited fund, how does the AI decide which buildings gets the funds to continue building and which ones miss out?

Aren't building costs paid for outright? Not turn by turn.

While this is not the thread for this discussion.

You keep getting deeper into debt if you can't pay your support costs. You simply won't be able to train new troops or construct new buildings, which is really a bad thing. As a result you generally thin out the number of troops you do have (based on your immediate need... maintain loyalty levels and defensive posture), in order to get things under control.

As to how the AI decides, it flips a coin. The only way you can influence what buildings get built in a situation like that is to remove from the queue anything you don't need built. The AI might decide based on a number of factors. One possibility is that it goes through each of your provinces in alphabetical order, building what it can and moving through each until you run out of money. Other than that it's likely just random, or it builds the cheapest buildings/units first. You pay for buildings and units in a lump sum therefore once you've financed construction, it will get built.

Hello Everyone,

My name is John, I live in Lancashire and work for probation. I have been bowled over by RTW and have lost whole days playing it. Sadly my laptop couldn't cope with the game and in the end had to be reformatted. Not to be outdone I have put a deposit on a gaming PC and am now waiting for it to be built and delivered. In the meantime I've been reading the forums, planning my campaign and getting excited.

~:)

I've posted a few times but never thought to introduce myself. As you can see, I am Minji, that's long for Min, my first name. I am Comanche Indian, Chinese, and Irish. I am 67 years old, and been wargaming for at least 50 years; (wargaming technology has vastly improved).

In the three weeks that I have been posting here, I have been studying the advice of FROGBEASTEGG (love to know where she got that name) and QUIETUS, as well as some fine pointers from too many people to name individually.

I live in Medina, WA, just outside of Seattle, (yes, same town as Bill Gates, who for 7 years, between 1985 and 1992 was my boss at Microsoft). I left after a fairly sizable stroke, and was a vp there. Most of my legacy there was Encarta -- and gosh, do I wish I had royalties. ;^)

I've been a freelancer, reporter, editor, editorial director, publisher. My early reporting days were with The New York Times, Newsweek, Boston Globe and Time magazine. I was publisher of Microsoft Press, the trade book arm of Microsoft.

I am happily married, have children aged 40 to 15, and I bear the proud title of Family Chauffer. I don't get to play these kinds of games very often, mainly because not many great ones like Rome: Total War come along that often.

But I'm pround to be a part of this not-so-motley crew and I look forward to asking many stupid questions. (Even tho Quietus said there are none such, just stupid answers.)

Oh, and I am an author of several books. And I wish I was a better looking guy from the looks of my icon.

.
Welcome Melmoth the Wanderer. Isn't that excitement great, when you're waiting for your new PC or the new book, film or game that you recently ordered? Wish you many lengthy campaigns. :bow:

Hey Minji, your alias sounds like the name of a particular type of cheese as used in where my mom's from. Welcome! ~:wave:
