I sent it to you twice now, you have to have gotten it. It's the spreadsheet screenshot with the Turn 2 Treasury amount on it.
EDIT - Sent again, maybe it got lost somehow. Let me know if you get it. You british factions continue to be an anomaly. First, nobody has a clue what you're up to, second, the interweb is devouring your financial reports. :dizzy:
Got it that time.Quote:

The only way that these bagpipists will cease their playing of this holy instrument is if the other three rulers of the Isles accept Scotland's surrender terms, which are the allowance of immediate annexation of all territories into the Realm of Scotland.
If that fails, our backup plans are numerous, including painting the Anglo-Saxon crown orange, repeated public farting in the other Kingdoms' capitals, and of course, "pantsing" the English King in front of all of his subjects.
As you can see, Scotland is prepared to fight dirty. So please make it easy on yourself and assimilate now! :yes:
:scotland:
Annoy your enemy into submission? That'll probably work.
I have my own little island thank you very much. If you will check closely, you might note the IRISH SEA somewhere in there.Quote:

This is the price guide for those who have forgotten. I am announcing that I have 500 troops ready for a single pirating operation. At this point it is first in best dressed. Discounts may be offered for those who get in now. The troops on offer are:
200 Infantry
300 Skirmishers
Just a quick question, but when is population growth added on?
That's what I'm wondering too.
Interesting.
Rather than pming anyone individually, i'd like to note that russia will accept any offers of trade given by any faction.
I note the same terms....and I still did not recieve my financial report!Quote:

And CountArach, I've decided that since one turn is going to be a season, I'll update the population at the end of every even numbered turn, so, twice a year. The end of this turn will see a population boost.
also Iberia wants trade with russia
Rome proposes trade agreements with everyone it hasnt already got trade agreements with. Good day.
:bow:
Pssht, taking Scotland's lead, are we? :wink:
Would Iberia be interested in trade with Corsica? Also I wish recognition that the Balearic Islands are part of my Homeland and shall remain recognised as such.Quote:

"Lend" and "pirate", not often heard together I reckon :beam:
Gah, that was too obvious and lame. Pardon me. But its true, if you want your civ to be taken seriously as a harbor for pirates you should take the money ostensibly as a loan and then never pay back.
The ottamons will give the loan at a 10% per turn interst rate.
Also the ottamons accept trade with Russia and Rome.
I accept the Ottoman's interest rate offer. :bow:
Negotiations entered, PM sent.
Just a brief note in praise of the magnificent Faroe Island culture.
Their starting city of 30k is impressive for an nation with a modern population of less than 48k.:inquisitive:
Even more so considering that this is the recruitable male population, which suggests a total population in the 75k range or so.:shocked2:
Ireland requests that you share your fish-gathering technology with the entire world for the betterment of humankind.:devilish:
mmm what, we just build up the entire Island, nothing wrong with that is there?
It would seem to me that your efforts were focused on settling in MY lands rather than building up your own. :furious3:
Of course.Indeed its very good!Quote:

A messenger has been sent.
I'll be gone tomorrow to the beach til late Friday so if you have anything to send to me I'll get back to you sometime Friday.

Is Warluster still in? It would be unfortunate if Germany got 2 turns behind.
Good.Quote:

I haven't heard anything since Warluster posted his initial interest. I'm not surprised though, I've seen him do this in other games too, I guess I was just hoping he wouldn't do it with this one. Everybody else has sent me things and participated actively, and already things are shaping up to be quite interesting.
If anybody knows anybody, or anybody is reading this, who would like to take Warluster's spot as the HRE or start the game as some other central European faction (maybe Bavaria, Austria, Bohemia, Hungary, etc) please just let me know.
I'll allow you to make 2 turns this turn to make up for the initial loss of involvement in the actual 1st turn. (I'll complete your first set of orders, do your new finances, then let you make another set of orders.)
Do I have to do this?PM me.Quote:

No Caius, you don't have to do that. You sent me orders last turn.
That was directed at any new person who would be willing to take over Warluster's faction or start a new one, because Warluster hasn't sent me anything at all since before the game even started.
You're fine, no problems with you. :2thumbsup:
Good!Quote:

IC: Russia's reports will be late, as seems to be a tradition. I often have school events on friday nights and just can't get them in on time. I'll definitely submit something within the next 24 hours
Ah, crap. I'll send in my orders later today too. My attention's been devoted to other things.
doing orders now.
I'll send mine in the next 24 hours.
Ireland accepts Russia's offer of a trade relationship.
Ireland offers such a relationship to any nation. Notably, I would like to begin such a relationship with Iberia, Corsica, and the lethargic but loveable HRE.
I need more trade, and propose to anybody willing to accept. I accept your offer as well, Seamus. I forgot to send orders also, so Ill have to that now....Quote:

The end of turn "Friday" deadline is really just a spook tactic to make sure you all remember to get them to me sometime on the weekend.
By the way, I have orders from Faust, Stig, HughTower, Pever, Ignoramus, Seamus and Lord Motep. The rest of you, be spooked! Turn 2 ends today, turn 2 orders are due this weekend. :beam:
Warluster, I got your message too, I'll get back to you on it in detail later today or tomorrow.

Of course we want to.

I will auto-accept any offer of trade agreements from anyone outside Britan.
I dont want to hold any alliegance there.
I'll accept trade with anyone.
Same.
I accept and offer trade with anyone... How else will I get my economy going?
IF anyone wants to be an ally of Iberia, just contact el Rey ;)
GAH!There are so many agreegements i dont remember who i did trade
I accept and offer trade with anyone who ask
Same hereQuote:

Or if they specifically say otherwise.
So basiclly nothing would change.
I ask you for trade rightsQuote:

New rule starting now.
All players automatically trade with one another unless they are at war, or specifically say they don't want to trade with a certain player.
This would actually allow player coordinated embargos to greatly harm another player's income.
Even if they don't have a port?Quote:

Post Results Lucjan! :beam:
Ok, I've been fighting with my internet connection for the last 2 hours and can't get it to do anything without threat of death and disconnection. Sites are opening disgustingly slow and I can't upload anything to photobucket or imageshack without my connection timing out on me. I'll try to get turns and the report up later tonight, hopefully whatever is bugging out will have cleared up by then, if not I'll just send it from the university computers tomorrow. :wall: :wall: :wall:
Sorry for the delay.
Turn 3 - Start
https://i126.photobucket.com/albums/...tions/roc3.jpg
Chaos is rampant in the British Isles. England, Ireland and Scotland have all converged on the Anglo-Saxons and in some cases, armies have run into armies they haven't been told to attack and have stalled, unsure of whether they are facing friend or foe. Numerous undefended Anglo-Saxon villages have surrendered to their captors without a fight. A battle outside of Lincoln between English and Anglo-Saxon forces has left nearly 600 men dead, and the Anglo-Saxon army retreating to Nottingham castle with the English in swift pursuit.
Word in the Isles is that the Scottish currently field the largest concentration of the troops, with numbers higher than 5,000 in the field.
In the rest of the world, peace still ruled supreme, and economic and social developments abounded, but as nations grow closer and closer to each other, the possibility of violence springing up elsewhere could be very real.
NEW RULES TO MAKE EVERYBODY'S LIFE EASIER Particularly mine. :laugh4:
I'm going to have to impose the following rules, quite simply, to make my life a hell of alot easier. When developing the rules for the game, I didn't realise just how time consuming and difficult it would be to keep track of everything I proposed I would. So, in order to make my life easier and help stabilise much of the confusion running around, the following rules are going into effect immediately.
1 - NO POPULATION.
2 - Settlements are founded simply by spending 3,000 gold. I can easily keep track of how much money has been spent on a settlement, but to try to keep track of what I know will soon be upwards of 50 seperate population counts is beyond my ability given the amount of free time I don't have.
3 - You can recruit any number of troops that you like, no more population to worry about.
4 - However, you still need to pay them. Failing to pay troops (your treasury is in the negative numbers) for 2 turns will prompt a random desertion roll for the troops not being paid, and for every turn after that until your treasury rises back to positive numbers.
4 - All players trade with all players unless they're at war or say specifically otherwise.
5 - All settlements have a trade level = to the number of players that kingdom is trading with, and that's it. Keeping track of the trade between each and every individual city, like the population, is just too overwhelming.
6 - Provinces will now be simply aesthetic, for the sake of saying "I want to attack this city in province whatever". Provinces will be comprised of the nearest cluster of settlements up to a number of 5, a settlement still consists of either a city or a castle.
7 - You can still continue to build cities and castles in provinces that already exist. Those provinces will simply be divided into smaller provinces the more you develop.
I can't be bothered to PM you
I'm keeping all the cities that were supposed to be founded this and next turn
So, no population? I guess that's a boon for people who spent 1k to settle 1k population cities, but leaves me a bit out in the dust, now that I spent three times as much on one city and it's the same benefit now.
Of course, you could make anyone who settled cities with 1k people pay 2k to make the city into a taxable one. :eyebrows:
And so does it not matter if a city is a port city or not, for trading purposes?
Man, I'm glad I'm not the Anglo Saxons - that looks like a painful situation to be in.
CR
GH, you have some explaining to do...
I wished I'd sacked Edinburgh now.
Gah! Why have none of my cities been added/included to the map? As there is no population rule any more, shouldn't they be on the map?
Huh...now i have to think of something else to do with my turn...
This is true... what happens to the 1k population cities?Quote:

Yes, I did send in actions, one was to build a city, and the other I shall not reveal.
