Hunkin grab a teammate and everybody choose a faction. :) Hopefully we can get one alternate for each of the factions, if not, we will begin. So grab a partner and pick a faction everyone. If two of you want the same faction then team up. :) Its more fun that way anyways.
~:)
Mori for me please.
Oda ?
Can Oda be our clan?
:duel: :charge:
Here is the first round of faction selection:
Drisos & Wilbo: Hojo
Hasty & Grey: Mori
Paolino: Oda
Hunkin Elvis & Oaty: Shimazu
Nigel & Steeleye: Takeda
Lord Hornburg: Ronin & Rebels
Minikiller & Brightb: Uesegi
Everyone else pick a faction to see if we have any duplicates. If anybody else joins they can team up with someone.
Im not bothered who me faction is, or who my partner is so you can set me up with someone EOF :D
I'll play as Shimazu.
that's a good idea hunkin elvis(strange name btw ~;) )i'm playing the game only three months and have tried out two shimazu campaigns, they were both much fun!
elmarkofear, minikiller wanted the uesugi clan i thought, so you can add him to the list!
hunkin E, did you mean you can beat AI at expert in battles, then you're better then me :embarassed: , i haven't tried any expert campaigns but have recently won a few battles at the highest niveau! ~:cool:
:bow:
I'm so confident in a Total War battle that I have the audacity to use that name. (J/K)~DQuote:

Greetings gentlemen,
It is a pleasure and honour to be taking part in this game. :bow:
It is also my great pleasure to introduce to you the very honourable KyodaiSteeleye-san, a samurai of noble birth, who will be taking the position as my councillor and first tashio and to whom I shall entrust the fate of my lands in times when other duties should call my attention away.
Now for choosing the faction.... Elmo, is there a site where the starting map is displayed? Or are we using the original STW one?
edit :
Is Takeda still free ?
Nigel: The original STW one. Same units/buildings/provinces at start. Please have Steeleye send me an email, so I can keep him informed of all the action as well. I will put you down for Takeda.
Minikiller never sent me an email. I will PM him to see if he is still interested.
i thought that is was AI vs AI , so it won't matter what niveau it is. ~;)Quote:

:charge:

hasn't sasaki told you what clan yet?? maybe he's like wilbo, doesn't matter what clan. I like that opinion, but do really prefer some clans.
good luck! :bow:
I'm very new here but i have played some Shogun and this sounds ibteresting i'll play rebels & ronin if noone else is! ~:)
THanks for joining us Lord Hornburg. I will place you down as the Ronin/Rebels then. Please send me an email at the address in previous posts here.
Welcome ~:)
Hows the campaign coming along Elmark? ~:)
How annoying: I just wrote a very long description of how the after battle will be handled to discuss until we get all the players for each faction and I get a "Server is Busy" message and it would not take me back to my submitted post to try again. SIGH
Here's the quick version:
Each type unit will be assigned a per unit value:
Example: Not actual figures from the campaign:
No Dachi = 60-man unit
This unit costs 120 koku
This equals 120 / 60 = 2 koku per unit
You fight a battle and have 40 No Dachi left in one group, 30 left in the other. They are of the same Honor level, wep & arm upgrade.
These units are combined to form a whole unit and a partial unit:
40+30 = 70, so you have a full unit of 60 No Dachi and a partial unit of 10 No Dachi. The 60-man unit can continue on into the next province if it likes on the next turn. The partial unit will be sold and you will receive 10 x 2 koku per No Dachi = 20 koku You will receive this amount of koku at the beginning of your next turn to spend as you wish.
There is one addendum to this rule: Let's say you end up with a partial unit containing 59 men. It would be wrong to force you to sell of this almost perfect unit. Instead, it was decided during the last campaign that if a partial unit is 40 men or more strong, you may purchase men to bring it up to full strenght at the beginning of the next turn. The "40" is arbitrary and I will let the majority decide here what that number should be.
The reason that the simple method of selling off ALL partial units was a problem in the previous campaigns was; it punished the player for having balanced armies consisting of several different unit types. An army consisting of a all the same type units was more effective.
Does this sound acceptable? Are there any questions over this small portion of the campaign rules? We have a bit of time before we fill up the last few spots it looks like, so we can discuss this since it was one of the bigger issues in previous campaigns.
Fine by me
Lord Hornburg: I do not want to mention your name in case you do not want it known, but did you just send me an email? It did not have a username, but I am assuming it is yours due to the timing.
Welcome aboard.
Yes it was me thanks for not mentioning my name
Thats ok, JACK! DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN!
Elmark, 40 sounds good to me, do you need some help running this campaign? It must be a heavy task considering you don't even get to play :(
Are you sure that you shouldnt be controlling Rebels & Ronin?
thanks for setting this up by the way, its a really good idea :bow:
TosaInu, Puzz3D, and a lot of the Ugly's played in the last campaign, which was cancelled due to the release of MTW and problems with the EA server being up and running. I believe they had fun, but you will have to ask them. :) It is a lot of work, but I have made it a little easier for me with updating the website, which was the major time-consuming part of the whole thing.
ooh one worry I had about disposing of damaged units is that units tend to go up an Honour level when they have lost around 50% of their warriors, so we may never get 'battle hardened' units...
There is no honor increase for units, except for commanding units. They increase 1 honor level for every 4 battles won, up to a max of 9. So to get to a 9 level for your commander/general you must win 36 battles. Of course high level ninjas could possibly kill them, so it would behoove you to protect your generals within in a borderfort province or with your own ninjas.
How's progress?
40/60 units that's 66% and you are allowed to refill - sounds ok to me.
Elmark, you have done this sort of thing before and probably have a very good idea now of what works and what does not. So there is no use re-inventing the wheel and I'll be quite happy to go by your suggestions.
Is there a manual or something like this where we can read up the rules?
I guess you are working on this just now ~D
Nigel:
I am trying to put it into some sort of organized way so it will be easy to understand and not so "dry" to read. Maybe I will use an example of how a turn would go:
1. Where and how to find the info. on your faction, provinces, buildings and units.
2. How to submit your moves.
3. How to check the website update to make sure no error were made in processing the info.
4. A list of buildings: Their pre-reqs., cost, time-to-build, what bonuses they add or what units they provide.
5. A list of units: Their cost, pre-reqs., time-to-train.
6. A list of every province: Its koku generated per turn, its buildings, its units, its features and silver, gold, iron etc . .
7. Special rules for units/buildings/etc . .
I still haven't heard from a lot of people who initially said they were interested or ones who are but haven't chosen a faction yet. Feel free to go to the other forums and recruit a few players so we can begin. From past experience, we REALLY need 2 players for each faction to have any chance at a timely campaign.
Are the number of units going to be the same as the one in STW or WE? Or does STW and WE begin with the same number of units?
-Btw, I can't edit my posts. I click on the edit button and nothing happens.
