Quick response requested as I don't want to hold up the save for too long.
Take 'em out with you before the turn ends, or they belong to the owner of the settlement. I imagine you could petition the King to give you the settlement before the turn ends so that it can keep a garrison, since all English conquests are ratified by default IIRC.
:egypt:
I'll take out Bordeaux tomorrow night, EST.
Valencia isn't pre-ratified, so I can't recruit anything there to keep it from rebelling.
The settlement that are pre-ratified are: Bordeaux, Angers and any settlement the Crusade takes in pursuit of William.
At least that's what I understand from reviewing the Edicts still in effect.
I think we can risk it for a turn. This is M2, not Rome. Also, the English never had a garrison there AFAIK and they still held it.
Just don't have a fit if the King disbands some of "your" units. Because they are not technically yours if you stay.
Do you really think the king will mind if a one unit garrison is maintained for the protection of the realm? If the settlement rebels it may generate a large English garrison.
That's exactly the operational issue in question.Quote:

Interesting conundrum. One I expect to address with said ruler.

:furious3: :laugh4: :oops: That'll teach me to type with my two year old on my lap! Nahh..think Henri hates them even more as he wanted to capture the Kaiser not kill him and they disobeyed the order to ceasefire on the Kasiers bodyguard unit (miss calculated the time it takes for backspace to work).Quote:

Have to admit though that due to terrain that first battle took more casualties from Henri's army than I'd have liked...wait for full report.
Unfortunately at teh moment I can't provide much in teh way of pictures of battles as my PC's HDD is a second hand one and is only on a slave IDE connection rather than a direct SATA...this means it looks through the entire game disc when I ask it to "save as.." :wall: Still, will get a replacement HDD and ghost the old one soon...ish..
Just beaten to the punch on the save. I'll be able to take it after I put the piglet to bed. Wanted to make sure all my House battles went off well first, so I waited and waited and they all went fine, natch.

Yea, I really like Gontran. "Ze English 'have no sense of style, no elan..." and then he proceeds to bash English women. I love it!
"Ze English, they have no sense of style, no elan, no manly virtues, no reason to live, no good drink, no comely women, and why, the devil himself would be ashamed to have their nobles in hell!"Quote:

My favorite so far is "I hesitate to call our enemies stupid - it is a useful word, and does not need to be devalued. Instead, I call them "targets"!"

It looks like almost all the Crusaders have gathered.
I'll call the Crusade on Nottingham at the beginning of the next turn, the main Crusader stack in Calais can use the extra movement to pick up those who've gotten a bit ahead, like the King and go from there.
Thoughts?
I'd like the King to be in command of the stack when the Crusade is called... Makes more sense IC, don't you think ?
Philippe will walk back towards Folkestone (the English side of the Channel) and gather all Crusaders there (Please adjust your SOT people to allow me to join you in the King's stack), once done, Ok should be able to request the Crusade.
Does that suit everyone ?
In fact, it is the adopter's choice... Who was it ? Certainly Louis, no ? If so, it is up to Ramses to accept or deny the offer.Quote:

Depending on the timing, that shouldn't be a problem.
I'm most likely going to take the save back in 5 - 6 hours to proceed to the next turn.
The way I see it : All Crusaders assemble on the King's position, Crusade is declared, then with the movement bonus and the remining movement points, the whole stack moves north towards Nottingham.
Steinbach-Hallenberg battle report is up…Klingenthal battle report will be up later today.
So, what is the situation with Charles?
I thought that I will not join KotF before couple of months but .. Charles' traits are just perfect(to me at least). He seems just sodeviouslovely character. :beam:
So, does Elite Ferret wants to play him? Is there a chance that I could resume playing Charles?
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Someone better hurry and get Charles into the game otherwise there won’t be any Germans for him to hate anymore!! lol

Battle at Klingenthal is now up also. Again, all text unfortunately, hope it reads ok and gives a decent “picture” to the reader.
Three Kaisers down, surely Otto will get his chance?
Of course the way they've been dropping, perhaps he should stay in whatever spider-hole he's currently in.
BTW, where are those Gontran quotes from? The Aquitaine social group? I don't recognize them.
Yeah, it's up to the adopter to decide if he wants to accept the MOH. Was it me? You can make an IC request but keep in mind that Louis has only natural daughters so far...Quote:
