taking the save
triple post and won:http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/...sade1258-2.rar
Ok, I'll get my last turn today. I don't forsee any more battles my term, unless the AI does something unexpected. Our next Council should be opening up soon with elections. Who should make the thread for it?
It could be the same thread, just with a new Council Speaker opening it up. We didn't really adhere to edicts and laws this term, that could have precedents.
Zim, have an end of term report to post before we open up the next Council so we all know where we stand. Just like the territories, any adoptions, etc.
Is anyone thinking of running for Schatzmeister.
Latest save ready for perusal while we wait for the new elections.

I should note we have two new avatars ready, Markus Otterbach and Matthias Carolinger.
yeah, and RoadKill is Athalwolf von Essen but he isn't active here.
Its funny how many names in M2TW:K are so similar to M2TW. ALl the names we have I can remember from KOTR.
Since we're playing another German faction, they might have used the same set of names.
I wonder if there were Prussian specific names they could have added for the order?
I think there are a few more Polish names too, right?
so should I be setting build orders etc for Prussia myself, or telling the new Schatzmeister to do so?
You tell the new Schatzmeister and he sets them.

Alright, Rupert wins by default it seems. :beam: I'm waiting for my wireless to get back up (it's fickle sometimes :clown: ) then I have a lot of game things to do. I'll get the next turn started tonight. Warluster, I assume you're able to play battles now? I'll try to get you on some of the action with Novgorod, maybe with Rupert's army. Be warned, the best of it went to Maximillian so it's large but not great yet. I'll reinforce from Windau or something.
EF and Gibson, I'll be moving you to take out the Lithuanians if that's ok. I think I need build queues again, I'll put up the save when my wireless gets back on tonight, so you can look at it.
I should have an IC post in the Council thread in a bit detailing my plans.
build whatever you want, I'd only make your job harder by saying. As for battles, the more the merrier.
:thumbsup: Sounds good. Anyone else? I'm going to start the turn today, orders or no orders. :yes:Quote:

Sorry for the wait guys. The weather has been bad where I'm at and my wireless connection has been off the past few days. It took me half an hour to upload that KOTR save yesterday.
I'm going to forge ahead and take the turn tonight. If the wireless is still out, I can upload the save after everyone else in my house is asleep (luckily, I'm a night owl).
Sorry again. Normally this doesn't happen. :sweatdrop:
It's cool. I can't blame you for the weather. We want to keep the momentum up - keep 'er going.
I'm sorry about the even further lateness. Some rather odd family things occurred last night. Good news is the wireless is up making uploading the save easy, so I'll get a turn done right now.
Alright, another turn done. No battles for anyone but me this turn, and I was forced into it. Denmark besieged one of our northern territories, and only Rupert could reach it. If we were playing EU3, I'd say we're entering into the badboy wars you get if you take too many provinces too quickly. :clown: Dietrich is now in command of a solid half stack, Maximillian is sieging Vilnius, Lithuania's capital and settlement of decent size. Hans is still in Minsk. The Mongols are puttering around there, and I'd like him to watch out for them.
I'll fight the battle today, and should have a siege assault (or field battle if they relieve) for EF tomorrow.
I've learned something from this. I'd be a really bad Chancellor in KOTR. I'm just stretched too thin because I'm involved in so many MP games (and an EU3 aar). This won't affect this game, but it's something for me to remember next KOTR Diet.
what about karl? its time I get more into this
I was thinking Karl should babysit that village he took. :clown:
Actually, now that Hans is Hochmeister it's time to build a new Prussian army for Karl.
I'm sorry, I am trying (and failing :clown: ) to make sure everybody has something to do. It's largely been Hans' game before this, so I was trying to get Maximillian and Dietrich in on things more the past couple turns. I had planned on having Rupert sit in Riga a while, then the Danes attacked. He doesn't have a proper army, just some prussian archers and pikemen from Riga. :clown:
I'll start recruiting a Prussian army in Marienburg right away. Lithuania just needs some mopping up but I think perhaps Prussian generals should lead the assault on Visby, and any assault on the Mongols or Danes in Scandinavia. :yes:
Is there a specific thing Karl would like to do? You can submit plans/orders in the Council thread. I don't think we'll need a seperate Orders thread like KOTR.

Any particular theater you'd like him to go to after the army is complete? Lithuania is pretty much dead (more villages after Vilnius falls). A long march could take him to Novgorodan territory, or he could raid Scandinavia to get back at Denmark for attacking us. There is also a very nice rebel island city in Visby I could send him to.
good plan, take Gotland (visby). Probably don"t need a very large army for that at all.
Ok, it's 1261 now. Rupert saw off the Danish armies, although with some losses (not much fun going against viking raiders/dismounted huscarls and Norse archers with Burgher Pikemen and Prussian Archers :clown: ).
I have bad news for EF. The Lithuanian's have moved to relieve Vilnius. They have a large garrison inside reinforcing one tiny army and one very large one relieving the siege. They also have some five units of horsearchers between the two bigger armies.
Unless you're a far better player than me (not only possible but probable) I'd say this is too nasty a battle to risk it. Bleeding one of the larger armies then withdrawing might be a good idea, so they don't follow you after your withdrawal with too many men.
The good news is Dietrich is in nearby Dunaburg with a strong half stack and between the two of you the Lithuanians won't stand a chance next turn.
The save for EF.

Since Hans became Hochmeister and took his army with him, a new Prussian army is being recruited at Marienburg for Karl, who will be sent to take Visby, a good trading city and staging point for any future assault on the Danes.
will fight in about 5/6 hrs
edit: taking the save
didn't you learn anything from the crusades hotseat?Quote:

battle report to follow
forgot to save before popups again though
Profits: 2827
Strongest faction: Denmark
Most Advanced: us
War between the Danes and HRE
I've learned that ability with the campaign map and ability with the battles are not directly proportional. :clown: If you won the battle you did better than I could. :yes:Quote:
