Funny how you asked if I needed help with Lithuania.
BTW I think I might try Norway next time. I have a plan in mind on how to make them work.

Good luck to everyone who are still fighting on :thumbsup:

I will get to it tonight, sorry about the delay, I have been swamped with midterms and papers.
Btw, you guys do know there is a mod of "a song of ice and fire" called Westeros:TW
They even have like 6 hotseats going^^
Yes I know it. I have it. I have the submod even. It's not very balanced though. Stannis will just rape everyone with unlimited free 10 star assassin shadows from Mel.

Wow that's bad luck. The only game I'd prefer not to be subbed came out on Friday. I'm at work now and immediately after I'm travelling so there is no way I can play this before Sunday.
If you can't wait let slysnake sub me, though I'd really appreciate an extension. There are a lot of details and things to watch out for and decide on, so I'd rather not delegate them right now.
Novgorod up. @Zim @phonicsmonkey
So, trebuchets are the reason you're so bold. Your move monkey.

It appears Denmark wants war. Such is the payment when our Order refused to join a war effort that would have eradicated their realm? God shall punish the wicked and we shall be the instrument of this punishment!

I would say it seems poland wishes you to believe that. Our intention was to threaten you with a united west so as to force you to end your unjust war against Novgorod. If you are sure we wish war, poland has surely exaggerated our words/
"So then, Novgord keeps silent and arrays armies at our borders and yet you do the same, and you wish us to believe this is all for peace? It also seems that our words are wasted on the Kaiser of the Holy Roman Empire if you have already achieved a "unified western front".
May we remind you that it is Novgorod who started this war, which is indeed unjust, as they stormed and took Dunaberg and two of our northern cities? By what right do you threaten and bring troops unannounced, like a scheming weasel, and now attempt at parley and bargain on behalf of the aggressor in this war to the east? We are doing God's good work and we shall yield not to the Grand Duke nor to your threats. And if the Kaiser has thrown his dice in this gamble alongside you, then so be it, and God have mercy on you. The Teutonic Order shall show none."
I have brought no troops into your lands, all my forces remain well within my own territory.
Your war with Novgorod may have been technically started by them, but it began when you committed yourself to exterminating their allies the Lithuanians. You never gave them a chance for diplomacy, just as I fear you will never give the nations to your west a chance after you have finished in the East. Why should I believe you will not invade Denmark as soon as Novgorod is dead? True, you have not done so yet, but I believe that is simply because you have been at war elsewhere, and would have attacked if you truly saw gain in it.
I can only be sure that you will not begin offenses if I know Poland, the HRE, and I are all in a position to support each-other. A mutual alliance on our part will prevent you from seeing easy gains, and should ensure relations between us remain good.
I have reached out to Poland because I fear for the safety of my people!
"This is acceptable, fear grips the hearts of men who are not bound by God's zeal. Yet you must remember, that the deceased Lithuanian Duke did not offer parlay nor asked for such. He besieged Riga and fought like a cornered rat until mine own sword parted him from this world and sent his soul to forever roam in Limbo. Likewise Novgorod asks not for peace and is employing similar preventive tactics, even as they have been assured that no Christians, be it even Orthodox, shall come to harm while we do the bidding of His Holiness the Pope.
You must also know, that I shall allow no armies to sail within striking distance of my citadels, and that should you attempt such trickery, war will be inevitable. It is up to the Polish King to decide if he wishes for security in such a way, though attempting extortion of me, a neighbor who has given him only good trade and good will, shall surely harm thine reputation.
What I suspect, is that you have been gathering arms and meeting secretly with the Kaiser, a man whom once I called my sovereign, and once such subterfuge has been brought to light, one cannot easily place trust in your word. This plan to extort a Holy Order, blessed by His Holiness and all the saints, shows you regard not the laws of the Church nor the will of God."
Novgorod up. Nothing interesting this turn. @phonicsmonkey

Thank you all for waiting.
Novgorod is up. @phonicsmonkey
I'm unsure as to how you retook that city, the stack with the trebuchet doesn't seem to be able to go there and back in two turns...

Novgorod up. @phonicsmonkey @Zim
Lulled by a false sense of security and distracted with the western front, Novgorod did not pay heed to the catapults we moved in position near Olysta. A third of their entire force lies dead, and the castle has been retaken. Kholm has also fallen to our armies, and two more settlements are under siege.
We are also keeping a close eye on the Danish fleet that is ferrying men back to Scandinavia but shall not attack them unless they sail for the mainland or debark on the island of Visby. We have also noted the lack of response from the unified west. Shall you all ally to keep the order at bay, even as we remove Heretics and do God's good work?

More like "trying to squeeze in his subbing duties between cooking dinner and putting the kid to bed..."
Oh dear, sorry @Zim!
I really need to pay more attention to these turns...
The Hochmeister wasn't that important as a general, did you kill the guy who had a catapult in a fort? Also, I figured that trebuceht would be hiding in the woods but I had already submitted the save... Anyway, good fun! :)

The treb wasn't hiding in the woods, I just moved it one fort closer last turn hoping you wouldn't notice. Basically the exact same stunt you pulled on me at Olysta!
I had noticed it gone but I thought it went to recapture that one town with the wooden walls. Ha! This is a fun thing to happen :laugh4:

I'm going on holiday tomorrow for a week - if I am late playing my turn (48 hours) assume I have no internet access, although, apparently, there SHOULD be. In the event I am late playing my turn, I designate @Myth as my sub :)
I should be able to play tomorrow.
@Nightbringer, bump?
sorry, I am trying to work out diplomatic stuff before playing the turn. I will post it tomorrow whether I manage to or not though.
With Teutonic ships threatening the Danish coast, and domination of the region by the order approaching, the Danish king has seen no option but to declare war on the Teutonic order.
Furthermore, he encourages all others in the region who value their survival to do the same. The order may be pledging support and friendship now, but they are clearly on a path to becomes unstoppable. Surely you can see that if they capture all of novgorod, they will turn west for further conquest, into the lands of one of us.

@phonicsmonkey @Zim Novgorod up.
NB, you have just signed your own death sentence. Novgorod is all but eliminated, they have one depleted army of note, and that is half full of cav milita. Monkey can't progress further with it and he is bankrupt. This will be a glorious fight, but your two and a half full stacks are not going to be enough. You are not prepared.
disclaimer: I have never played WoW actually.
Meh, show me what you got myth boy!
And in reply to your vid, I say https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXnuxJPKJSM
In actually, you really think 2 1/2 stacks is all I have? LOL!
Plus, its not like things were going to get better for me if I waited.
You have some milita stacks that are basically draining your treasury. The War Clerics and stuff are what counts. The militas can be routed with one careful charge or hit from a siege weapon's flaming ball.
But it's true that waiting for me to finish off Novgorod and leisurely stroll back to the west coast would have been worse. Then again I might have not attacked you. I'm curious if Cecil is joining this madness. Because, if he isn't, you're going to have to get some miracles on your side! :angel:
No but seriously, I'd have done the same thing probably. The TO has been topping the charts for a good while now.
Exactly, if I waited, I just would have faced you fully prepared, and I KNOW you would have attacked someone.
Cool, I made it back to the game in time to preside over Novgorod's death. Should have this up tomorrow night.
Edit: Sorry I'm late. Easter weekend has been busy, will get this done.
Ran into something odd. My Teutonic folder doesn't have a saves folder. I thought if I started a game up and created a save the folder would appear, but even having made several saves (and checking that I was able to load them from the game menu) there's still no saves folder.
Anyone know what might be causing this, or whether creating one myself would screw things up given that the saves made in game are apparently being stored somewhere?
just make one yourself, it should work. :)
Or it might be saving them in some odd place, and you can try searching for your save files and seeing where they are.
Sounds like Windows 7 UAC shenanigans to me.
perhaps its in 'my documents'?
Nothing in my documents, although I did find saves for another game...
Myth Do you know if there's a fix?
The odd thing is that one of the mods I have does have a saves folder (SS), as does MTW2 vanilla, but not the Kingdoms campaigns or other mods.
@phonicsmonkey If you want to sub or skip my turn go ahead. I don't want to hold people up while I fix this.
did you try just creating a folder called saves?
