He's back on the mainland now.
In an incredible turn of luck (seriously, we've had a ton of these) I just fought a rebel battle with Max and he was once again given Man of the Hour. This time I figured out how to save without losing the option window, so I did so, then accepted. He was adopted by Otto, so he's now officially on the Bavarian family tree. How lucky is that? (Just gotta refuse all brides for him.)
Congratulations! That really was a lucky twist there. The only thing that would make this even more perfect would be an adoption for Leopold. :2thumbsup:
We will be taking a couple settlements in the next turn or two. If our luck holds, he might get one.
Max is Otto's son?
Very awkward.
Let me see if I can sum this up. . .
We've got a scarred, scheming but "honest" 40 year old married to an 18 year old wretch.
Their two "children" are a 45 year old celibate Warrior-Monk who used to have his "Dad's" job and a Godless 25 year old.
Also they're all nigh-immortal, living 4 times longer than the average person.
It's like some sitcom writer took acid while at a Renaissance fair and wrote it all down.
I fear for Bavaria. . .:laugh4:
I think we can ignore the 'son' aspect of it. It's just a formal OOC joining to Bavaria.
About Kagemusha's siege reference in the Diet... we're several turns on now. I'm getting started on the report now, so give me a chance to do that before you start asking questions.
I actually think that an official adoption by Otto of Mandorf into the Imperial family, as an attempt to reconcile with his former mentor is quite a nice touch, so you really shouldn't overlook it. How this adds up with their current situation is another story, but such ressourceful players as you are will surely come up with a convincing solution.
We're already working on that. Amusingly, Max's traits are getting more in-line with the way I have been playing him.

Does anyone else have problems looking at the battle reports thread?My Mozilla crashes,when i try to watch or reply to the thread.:sweatdrop:
Works fine for me, but it does take a while to load. Using the SPOIL tags keeps the thread shorter, but the images all still load, even when they're not being viewed. There are a lot of images in there now, so perhaps it is overloading your connection.
About Otto's godless son, he likely doesn't have the starting piety because the old traits file did not have the trigger in all cases, thus he didn't get the trait, TC can jsut remedy this with the way I posted on the previous page.
Also, I dunno if you want or not, but I think Otto doesn't deserve a charm 0 princess as his wife as the trigger was not present. Just use remove_trait this WifeIsHorrid when you got Otto selected to remedy if you so wish.
I'll let econ21 decide whether I should do that or not. This is a technical matter and he's as close as we've got to a "Diet Fixer."
ok guys i have a problem... when trying to load the saved game i keep getting an unspecified error any ideas on how to fix... am still using the Medifix
Also now that i have an avatar what do i do now i just want to insure i dont mess up here lol
Did you change ANYTHING about your M2TW between your last successful load and now?Quote:

FYI, there are a lot of battles this turn. Two have been fought and there are at least three more to come, so apologies if it takes a while. The Genoa assault will be saved until last, for dramatic effect.
1154 has turned out be as an active year at 1146, and it's not even over.
TC you've handled the Chancellorship with panache. :2thumbsup: Especially so, considering that you had to deal with excommunication, multi-front wars, assasinations, numerous edicts, story participation and keeping us all up to date. :juggle2:
Did you ever have such a busy term in WotS?
Nope, my one WOTS Consulship was pretty quick, since almost all the battles I fought myself. Well... except for that whole Appolonia thing. For that I had to download a mod that let me switch to the Greek faction so that I could make sure they threw their multiple stacks against econ21. With the RTW AI at the time, they just sat there, ruining the plot we had going.
My battle report on the fort assault is done.
I'm happy to make the changes if the relevant players want them. But personally, I think the existing vices are rather characterful.Quote:

With Otto, I don't think it is the wife that is a wretch - rather the marriage that is wretched. I do believe the political cost of it has made the man physically sick at least once. That kind of thing might put a dampener on the relationship.
As econ21 pointed out, I've developed some reasons in the stories about why Otto's marriage to Elsebeth might not be ideal. I'm fine with the wretched wife attribute. It'll balance out the "trustworthy" label he seems to have gained. I know something like that is in the eye of the beholder, but it doesn't sync with current events. There's probably only one man in the Reich who currently views Otto as trustworthy, if that. :laugh4:
Edit: Wow I didn't realize that about Appolonia. . .I guess playing the OOC against the IC is old hat for you, gives me a new appreciation for econ's commitment to a story line.
Well, the Appolonia thing was not something I actively wanted to do. The problem was that we had made such a big deal about how econ21's Quintus was probably going to his death at the hands of endless hordes of Greeks. When he got there though, the stacks just sat there and didn't move. It would've totally ruined the immersion of the game if we had let that stand. Since I was running the game at the time, I figured it was my responsibility to fix it. The really annoying aspect of it was that when I used the faction change command, the AI took over the Roman faction and moved everything about. So every single turn (I had to do this for 3 turns in a row) I had to make sure every single Roman unit was completely exhausted of movement points, so that the AI would'nt send them off to parts unknown. THAT was annoying.
My guess is that the assassin you just killed was Sigismund's murderer. The 1 subterfuge assassin you got earlier is kind of unlikely to have killed Sigismund I think.
Btw, did the Pope occupy, sack or exterminate Genoa?
I think the pope just occupy Genoa from the pic given by TC in the report.
Ah ok, I didn't see that this tag contained 3 images instead of 1.
I had no idea that you could just surround agents with an army and kill them that way.
Does this work with anyone besides assassins? Like, say, Cardinals?
I think it work for all characters. It was one of the solution for getting ride of the Inquisitors. And as TC has shown, it works with assassins. No reason not to work for any other characters.
So GH.Now you want to kill the cardinals too?:clown:
Actually, yes. There's a Milanese Cardinal that's in the Preferati and I think is around our area. If we take him out then there's a possibility that Otterbach could become a Preferati, thus making my life easier.
Il have to start wondering is our good Kaiser Heinrich,the Devil himself.:smash:
Haahah, good way to role play the Pope maker... But can you guys secure enough vote for a german pope give HRE is excom and at war with a large number of catholic factions? or the kaiser is just going to kill any pope that pop up beside Rome until a HRE pope is confirm? :D Then he will really be the devil.... hahaha
Personally, I think I'm going to have to go through at least two Popes before we get Otterbach... the Kaiser is going to have a busy year. Although let's RP it as Otterbach being selected right away, since the Kaiser will do away with the Preferati.
Let's just hope that the Pope (the new one that I may not want) doesn't manage to escape the battle and run to, say, Bordeaux. Then we'd really be in a pickle.
I think you may have a few Cardinals to hunt down. Otterbach is not going to be a candidate on the first few ballots and the votes to get him elected will be tricky. The elected Pope tends to spawn around Rome if there is no Papal city. Having some troops close to knock him off will speed up the election process.
