How much money do we start with?
7500 from memory
Any official word?
I can only hope this one doesn't end up like Lucjan's...
If you need help Caius, we'll be only too happy to assist.
Yes, now that I wake up.Quote:

Hey, Caius. This is nothing real major, but could you kindly spell my name correctly? It's spelled greaterkhaan, not greaterkhan. Thanks in advance. Also, thanks for your efforts in reviving the game.
Very sorry. I got something done a day or two ago and lost it when the forum stopped working briefly.
Oh, sorry Caius. I thought I had replied to your message with an inquiry about your email, but I just realized I hadn't. I see your email on your profile, so I'll send the spreadsheet to you in an hour or so (I need to do a bit of editing).
Crazed Rabbit
Sent now.
Caius, I'm getting an error message with the email listed in your profile (perhaps because it's listed under IM), but I will send you the file as soon as you PM me your email.
Also, I'll mail the file to anyone else interested in it, if you give me your email.
CR
EDIT: Sent now.
Nmd.I goit it.
I think everything is ok now.So, I think we are able to start when I make the map
I never sent a PM, because I don't know how much money we have.
Oh!
7500 is the starting amount for everyone.
Uhhhmmmm, Ok. This is really odd. I went through the thread rereading everything and I noticed something wasn't quite right at one point. On page 5, and only page 5, some of the posts are in Spanish!(I think). When ever anyone was quoting someone, it says something along the lines of "originalement publicado por 'personX'". All of the other pages say "originally posted by 'personX'", as they should, since my settings are for english. Anyone else noticing this? And how's this happen anyway?
Because I'm Spanish.Quote:
And how's this happen anyway?
Yes, that doesn't get translated. It goes in the language of whoever pressed quote.
send your PM now!Quote:

That's a good point. Why only there?
khaan and CA...it's a Spanish...or should I say, Gaulish conspiracy! Crush them all!!! :charge: :charge:
So what's the movement distance?
I'm thinking it was 200 km, IIRC. I think we lowered it from the 250 km that it was in Lucjan's first game, due to the much smaller map.
So has everyone but CountArach sent in their PMs to Caius?
CA, if you could CC me your PM when you send that in, I can complete the spreadsheet and new map that much faster.
Caius, I'm almost done with the spreadsheet, but I'm going to wait for CA's orders before finishing it. Working pretty well. Right now all the new cities have been assigned a base tax of 200, you can change that once you get it.
EDIT: Movement is 200km, IIRC.
Crazed Rabbit
I sent it to Caius, but I will send it to you now.
Okay, the new map and spreadsheet are done! Yay!
CR
So...are we going to get the results of the turn, then?
Not yet.2 things to do
Ahh, Ok. Sorry if I seemed impatient.
Okay, here's a new rule, for my sanity;
Please, please specify what direction and/or where you want your city built. Just something like '100 km to the west of city X' or whatever.
Thank you.
Also, I was a bit early in regards to saying the spreadsheet and map were done. The map is - I think - done, and the spreadsheet should be done somewhat soon. But don't rush Caius - he's got to send out PMs to everyone and write up the report, you know.
CR
Ok.
I think we are done.
Im updating the spreadsheet, since there isnt any military part.Then, I'll send PM's,and this will start.
New (and hopefully final version for this turn) map sent to you - I accidentally sent the wrong one first, so double check the one you download.
Crazed Rabbit
Let me revise the military part, and I think we are starting...
Damn, poor Lucjan, how did he to manage to run this game?
I dunnoQuote:

Dont expect this game start right now.
I have a bad feeling about this...
If CF doesnt have the time to continue, pass it on to CR?
Well, I think I'll need more time, and I dont know where im going to have that time.
CR can continue it.If he wants.If he doesnt want, we can play it more slower, but the host will remain.
You can download and save PMs as text files, you know. I'd think 75 PMs would be enough to send messages for this game.Quote:

EDIT: How many days/weeks per turn would you need, Caius?
CR
Hmm, I think a mass simplification of the military system (---> one generic unit type) and province system (---> no provinces :laugh4: ) is in order. Also the ships will be a nightmare. You could say that any army may move over a body of water with the stipulation that if an army does so during a turn, it moves at 1/2 speed for that whole turn. A nice addition might be that the losing army of a naval battle is completely lost (the fleet being scattered or forced to turn back).
On the other hand I think a rule such as "an enemy that loses a battle against two armies which have approached from different directions (90 degrees difference at least) is completely lost" could make the game more interesting.
I think limiting a nation to a certain number of armies based on how many cities it has would be helpful and also more fun. For example, you could say if a nation has 1-4 cities it is limited to 2 armies; 5-8 cities: 3 armies; etc...
Also I don't see the need to have 3 phases for each battle. I'd think this would be painstaking to do. I would say rolling 3 dice at once in a single phase to make moderate results more likely would suffice.
I personally think these minor modifications would make the system somewhat more interesting (strangely enough), but also much more easy to manage.

I kinda like it the way it is.
Crazed Rabbit
the combat system is not hard. Its the keeping track of everything and the borders, along with precise locations.

I think Faust was trying to push the game to his own advantage...:inquisitive:
Are you serious? I was giving suggestions to make it less of a burden to manage. Also less of a burden for players to keep track of their units. If you try to think of the implications of the rules I stated you'll see exactly what I intended.Quote:

Same.
Illyria sits back on her solid gold throne and titters at the pitiful requests of this mere serfs.
Illyria also requests that the skittles may be passed her way, as she quite enjoys them.

What a blasted ruffian! He has run off with thy skittles. Etruscia! Fetch them for me if thy would please.

On a more serious note, does anyone perhaps know where Caius has been? I don't think he's been on in a while, as a PM I sent him a few days ago hasn't yet been read. Does he perhaps have semester exams coming up?
PHAXO SKITELLAS SOUS!
(I will eat your skittles)
"Ow!" Motep groans as he awakes from his death induced slumber. "He...he took my skittles! Ah well...the bag was empty anyways..." He ataggered off to find the queen, as she always has a decent supply of the good.
-:wacky:
As for Caius, I have no clue where he is. He might even be using his time wisely for all we know.
Same.Quote:
