OK - good to see this PBM is starting to move. Please can you zip the savegame and upload it using this facility:

Thanks.
Zimfan's next up, but to keep things moving, please upload the savegame before working on the report.
See the write ups thread.
The battles are there
EDIT: link to savegame:

:2thumbsup: Ok. I'll start the game tonight. Could take a couple days, since I'll be taking ample notes, but will be done before the long weekend is over(Monday's a holiday here in the U.S. so it's a three day weekend).Quote:

My reign is a diseaster!It was funny because it was a chalenge for me, but it was hard.Im going to refresh the write-ups thread
Hi Caius,
On the screenshots, I think the way you type the links in your original writeups was too complicated. To get them to appear in the post rather than a link, all you need is something like the following:
[ img ]https://img119.imageshack.us/img119/358/capuringnmstartuu2.jpg[ /IMG ]
without the spaces.
IIRC, with imageshack, the entry it lists as "hotlink for forums (2)" works fine, so just cut and paste that link into Org post and you are done.
:juggle2: My first six turns I felt like this guy. Most fun campaign start I ever had. You left me with some problems to solve but also a lot of opportunity. Things are going very nicely and I'm about to wreak some revenge on those filthy barbarians.:charge: We'll see who drinks from whose skull! :skull: :laugh4:Quote:

After being forced to fight massively larger armies with my half stack of Roman soldiers(all we had for a while) I've realized what a deadly combination Roman units and a human player's superior tactical skill are. I have more men now but rather than steamrolling the Gauls with one giant army I've split them up between our best general and a promising up and comer. I'll only be fighting with a. half stacks of Romans or b. small core of Roman(no more than quarter stack) and barbarian "auxilaries"(mercanaries, actually, but for story purposes they'll be auxilaries). Figure it'll add some flavor and extra challenge to my campaign. :2thumbsup:
a mistake who cost me the fall of Arminium.Attack those barbarians, and extint their civilization!
:2thumbsup: Arminium is back in Roman hands where it belongs, and the filthy barbarians of Patavium have been enslaved to provide labor for the empire. The last 7 years of my reign will be spent getting revenge by taking the battle to their homelands.Quote:

A warning to the next player. Thanks to the efforts of one of my spies I discovered that Alesia is building Chosen Swordsmen. :sweatdrop:
Other than that, the Julii empire is doing quite well. We've more than doubled in territories over the last twenty turns, we're in good standing with the senate, our infrastructure is much improved, and we're making a fair amount of money per turn, despite heavy military expenses. Patavium is producing Principes. :2thumbsup: Good luck to the next guy.
I should have my writeup within a week.
Quick work, Zimfan! I've PMd UltraWar. To maintain momentum, I suggest we give him 2 days from now to pick up the savegame, otherwise we move on to Severous. I'll send Severous a wake up call to alert him to the fact that he's the next but one player.
ok I've got the PM.. starting Turn now
Im back from a short break. Watching the fast progress through the turns and ready for my tour of duty.
I will forfeit my turn to Serverous because of School starting tommorow...
Zimfan, wait, dont post at the write ups thread
I won't post mine until you've finished. The more time I have to sift through all the pics I took, the better.Quote:

No problem. I'd originally planned on spreading it out over the weekend but my reign was so exciting I "one more turn"ed all the way to 250 B.C. and 2-3 in the morning. Haven't had that much fun playing the game since my first Roman civil war. If I'd lost one of the first few battles against one of their vastly larger armies we would have to rename our campaign "The Extinction of Julii".Quote:

Is this the right file ?
A picture from the campaign/save just downloaded and before I have done anything.

Three more turns and we are reciclying the players
Sorry for the trouble, but can you move me to the end of the line? If I am elected Consul in Will of the Senate there will be no time to play the Julii reign, and I still have a Vandal write-up to do.
Played 1 year tonight. 9 more to play.
How many days to go? I will run out of time before I do 10 years.
Strictly speaking, 5 days. But to be honest, if you take another 12 days, I don't think anyone would mind much. I know you are a reliable player and AFAIK, there's only me after you (I think GeneralHankerchief won't be free any time soon) and then we'll recycle the players.
:2thumbsup: Cool. Schoolwork has prevented me from doing more than a rough outline of my writeup, but intensive writing will start after school tomorrow. I should have mine up in a few days.Quote:
