NN, I'm afraid I am going to have to insist that you leave any nuclear missles that you found, back in Outremer. Don't make me get Elberhard to do a cavity search on Zirn... :no:Quote:

Nah, I had a slightly elevated ground (village) I was charging against them from at the start, and their formation was perfectly set up for me to charge from melee without having to break and reform too much.
Battle report is up btw.
looks like ive stirred up a ruckus - and thanks econ or whoever for the extra PM space. i think im gonna need it.
I think you guys misunderstood. I mean that after I take the screenshots in the game, I can't seem to find the screenshots, to look at.
There is your .tgas file that all the screenshots go to from the game if you cannot find search for it *tgas it should be in the MTW folder mine never worked properly so I use the following and found it very easy to use.
http://www.howiesfunware.com/install...%20Capture.exe
I have installed it, but I dont understand how it works. Do I have to be running the program then press prnt scrn, or what?
i press prnt scrn, pause the game, and save em into paint.
Roadkill this is what I wrote about screenshots in the "How does one PBM?" sticky:
It sounds intimidating, but you will soon get the hang of it.Quote:

I need a rules clarification: Should be announcing 1304 battle results in the Diet now? Since the event takes place in 1304 and we're still in 1302.
...Or does the Chancellor's report signify the *end* of the turn now? I'm a little confused.
Sorry - we are in 1304 now, both IC and OOC. The posting of the Chancellor's report signifies the start of a new year.
Thanks.
So when you posted the Chancellors report for 1302 that meant we were in 1304? Got it.
Sorry to double post, but when I had I save I was messing around a bit and forgot to undo things. It's nothing major, I just had Tancred and Peter moving to Constantinople. So if you see that it's not a plot point from econ but Cecil tinkering with things.
you changed stuff around in the save? so, should I take it or take the one before? o_O
It's perfectly fine to take. In fact, you can undo it by moving Peter and Tancred out of their respective stacks and and back in again.
I'll take the save now, if that's all right.
Oh so their stacks had already used their full move points but you set up destination arrows? Cool. Maybe I'll set the arrows to point somewhere interesting and hope no one notices. ^_^
*still don't have save yet cuz I stayed late at school*
*edit*
Yeah, Ig it's cool. I'm not home yet.
69 v 621? Looks like someone felt the need to show off...
hey guys, quit @#$^in with my character and his homie.
What gibson, you didn't want Peter to head to Morocco?

No pressure mate...but I'm back next Tuesday to finally take back over Arnold's battles.
Make hay while the sun shines.
I think a night battle would be a good move.
I don't know where OK is but I got dibs on the next save. I'm finally home and I'm just waiting for Ig to upload it. I noticed he's back and I'm rearing to go and release people! :yes:
I have this incovenient thing called a job to attend to. I will fight the battle in about 8-9 hours, 1300 ish GMT. I usually default to night battles, if available, unless it conveys no advantage or the enemy has a lot of bow men (flaming arrows bad).Quote:

However, econ21 isn't here, and he's the only one who has the authority, as Chancellor, to yank back a save.
Yeah, Ig was told to clear out an area in France so he might be fighting a series of battles which would take longer. But I'm starting to wonder if his last post was a statement or a question. I always try to make it really clear when I have the save.
I want to fight it now before I pass out but I'm afraid he has it and might be fighting his as we speak. Bah, if he doesn't come back soon I'm going to give up my "dibs" and go to bed. I'll try and get to it in the morning. If it is still not up by morning, I will not be a happy camper...
*grumble grumble*
*edit*
of course, once I have coffee in the morning, my mood will most likely improve... ^^
"Don't push me though AG, or I'll start releasing prisoners."
Don't go and do that OK. I just promised Roadkill he could be my official executioner. :beam:
He's actually got a 6 in piety PK. He's not the anti christ...
well sort of...
well maybe. :beam:
Yeah, the "anti-christ" title in this game might actually go to Peter. He has 0 Piety because of the Humanist trait. But he has high dread which is funny when put together with Humanism. Maybe he wants to study people so he can be better at disassembling them. Or he believes that people matter, it just doesn't matter whether they are dead or alive. Even in little pieces, they matter. :laugh4:
of course you could argue that the anti-christ would actually have insanely high piety. Depends on your perspective I suppose.
There's certainly endless possibilities in playing the combination of traits. :dizzy2:
Yeah, that is a lot of the fun in my opinion. I try to work in every trait. It depends on the "amount". +1 traits are worked in a little, +2 more, and so on. Jan has 8 chivalry but he has "winning first" which gives him +1 dread. I use it to give Jan a "slight" moral ambiguity which allows him to better maneuver in the Diet while still being basically "good". He doesn't lie per se, he just doesn't tell the whole truth. ^_^Quote:

As the battle report was useless, I was too disappointed to refight manually, so I autoresolved it.
Alright Ig, sorry for getting impatient. I was just getting to wonder what was up after 4 and a half hours. Sorry about your computer crapping out.
I have the save.
Sounds good - let's do that.Quote:

The easiest way to do it is talk a screenshot of the post battle report and manually note the pre-battle odds (put your mouse over the relative strengths bar).
Sorry I took so long. Had three battles to fight. Got a new title. Woot! :2thumbsup:
http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/kotr1304-4.zip
will PM econ my stats in a minute.
Another statement of the obvious - if people plan to post a battle report, please post a placeholder in the relevant thread.
EDIT: Ignoramus: did you keep a note of your battle stats? How many fights did you have?
I have got a screenshot, I just haven't uploaded it yet. I will get that up soon. I only had the one battle, as all three French armies were next to each other.
Stig - from your continued posts in the Diet, Ansehelm is clearly not sitting it out and is getting himself very involved. You can't complain if this leads to in character responses.Quote:

If you're looking for a good out, Stig, you could go for the "long illness". Northnovas used this when he was on vacation. It keeps you out of the action, and you get plausible deniability for anything that happens while you're sick.
Your call.
Also, while I don't know the details, I'm sure all the houses are going to be dragged through the @#@$ before it's all said and done.
Gibson is acting on his own initiative - neither TinCow, Ituralde nor myself asked him too. However, we did happily accept his suggestions as they fit perfectly with our draft plot. Just because you personally are opposed to this cataclysm event, you cannot OOC veto Franconian players from being involved just because IC you play their Duke.
As I see it, you can either be in this as Duke, and not complain OOC, or you can get Ansehelm to resign/appoint a Steward, and happily sit it out.
Your staying involved IC and getting pissed off OOC is not going to make this a good experience for you. Or me.
I'm not involved because I want to be involved, and making someone a Steward is a lousy way out imo. It's just that when Peter deserted people began shouting at Ansehelm.
As I said, I wanted Ansehelm to easely sit this out in Magdeburg or so, from where he can comment on things but only would he want it. Because of this, Ansehelm needs to stay in the frontline as we lack commanders.
Stig, if Ansehlem remains Duke then Elberhard will have to interact with him and I will have him do it strictly in character. If that leads to bad feelings on your part OOC, as it apparently has done in the past, then I apologise but it will not be my intention.
Here, here! http://planetsmilies.net/eat-drink-smiley-5159.gifQuote:

I'll be able to get to it tonight (i.e. by 5 AM GMT) If it fits the schedule somehow, I'd love to fight this one, but don't hold up the plot just for me.
That'll be fine. I've promised not to proceed faster than one turn per 48 hours so there will be no hold up.Quote:

I put my pavise xbmen in loose formation and skirmished with the Polish Nobles. This worked great, but as soon as I advanced to envelop the main body, they fled even before the lines made contact. This might be explained by the fact that Joachim of Lwow, their leader, has had several runs in with Peter before and so has several negative command traits such as "afraid of the dark".
I apologize to AG for not giving them an authoritative crushing, but casualties were light for our side.
http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/kotr1304-5.zip
I'm reclaiming the save and will make some more moves, then post a new one for Tamur to use later.
All right, this save is for Overknight and/or Tamur.

New orders for Overknight
Duke Arnold:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Deadline for fighting the two battles is 24 hours from now; if they are unfought by then, they will hold over to next year.
I don't mean to be rude Stig but this might apply to you right now.

***ANNOUCEMENT***
Gentlemen,
It's a leap of faith...inherent with all leaps of faith will be your acceptance of removing the "CONTROL FREAK" part of your personality at the front door.
Please note there will be a "CONTROL FREAK" detector test at the front entrance to assist you with this process.
Anyone trying to sneak their said; "CONTROL FREAK" characteristic into this session of the game will be ask to leave or strip down naked for a full cavity search so the removal of the said; "CONTROL FREAK" part of your personality can be done without incident.
Please note, those that successfully circumvent the security procedures in place will be easily identified as they will be having a REAL BAD TIME PLAYING THE GAME.
Moments of frustration, screaming, crying, wanting their mommy, a security blanket and other such pacifying devices will be clear signs of a successful breach of the security system in place.
Those of you planning on doing this should be aware of this before hand.
A full set of Terms and Conditions will be sent to you in the near future.
Please have your legal council, mothers, sisters and other people warned in advance of the removal of you control freak personality by this game.
***END OF ANNOUCEMENT***
------------
Either get sick and bow out, even though you don't like it, or stay in and deal with it. You're being hard headed about it and that seems like your "modi operandi".
You wont have fun if you follow the path you are taking.
Well christ Econ...what is this, another attempt at provocation :beam:
And why are their two polls!!!??
You're being a tricky bugger econ...I see you there mate. :yes:
I have the save.
Provocation? :inquisitive: Why do some people not take Elberhard's friendly joshing for what it is? ~:grouphug:Quote:

Never mind. :embarassed:
Kevin just needs coffee. :yes:
First,
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
They again chose to deploy near the back of the map, but unfortunately for them it was at the bottom of the hill. I weakened them with arrow fire, charged the infantry from the front, and sent in most of the cav from the right flank. The Poles were gutted, but that slippery coward Joachim managed to make it back to Krakow.
I infiltrated the nearby spy (apologies for the presumption) and he managed to survive and open the gates.
Second,
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
I must admit, I'm tired so I auto-calced the assault.
Krakow is ours. Despite hearing this terrible voice in my head telling me to exterminate, I sacked the place.
http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/kotr1304-8.zip
you dared to deny Arnold his 10th dread point!?! ^_^
He only sacked a city? I guess he did find God after all...
:laugh4:
Eh. . .even butchering 18,000 people might be a bit much for Arnold. If it's any comfort AG, I executed all the prisoners. :2thumbsup:
Arnold wouldn't care even if he butchered 40,000 really :laugh4:
Well played, Overknight. :bow:
Is Lorenz Zirn knighted yet?
I echo thatQuote:

Has my character, Lorenz Zirn, been knighted?
To be fair to Arnold he does have the "Fair in Rule" trait, which he got from occupying a city previously. I think it was when Budapest revolted, even.
thanks fritz
hans - way to sell me out! haha
If you are to hide, never send a message telling your intentions to the one who pursues you :grin2:
lol i thought i could persuade u with that kaisership deal
EDIT: boy im sure stirring up a ruckus. this is really neat - theres no way youre going to stop me before i start exterminating stuff.
i was looking for a way to RP peters 8 dread - hes too softspoken in the diet - and i found it! woot w00t
I think that that is the dead sea, I've seen that before, it's amusingQuote:

Cecil XIX, I think you make a mistake in the names for your battle report, it should be Lorenz instead of Karl as your second, right?
