Cecil's turn.
Making a deep bow
It was a foregone conclusion for some time... I feel sorry for Didz who took the brunt of England's charge and will need time recovering...
Nevertheless, it is quite satisfying in that Ignoramus or anyone else for that matter give a much better fight than any AI...
As to William's fate, If I can get around to it, I would surely like to bribe him :devil:
I think Didz, owning only one province which is a city, should recover rather quickly, especially if you were to take the rebel settlements around him and then gift them all to him.
Of course you could also be evil and just take Edinburgh and thus the isles all for yourself...
Slightly sorry for Ignoramus being out of the game now, but eventually, there will only be very few players left if this is total war.
As for bribing William, why would you want to spend some 40-70k florins (depending on how many units he has with him) to bribe him and that other character with him into your faction? William has at most 6 or 7 turns left to live. It would of course be nice as a GA goal.
:jawdrop: The player who started the game was the first to go. This does not bode well for Venice in mine. :clown:
Yep, I meant it just for the fun of it...Quote:

I prefered a clearer message : cross me, you're doomed... Follow me, you're saved...
As to Didz, some help is on the way in the form of captured settlements and funds if possible...
Well, you could have said that it was a mercy and Scotland is excommunicated anyway. You still have time to finish what you are doing!!! :grin:
Sicily would stand behind France as long as my heir has a French princess to toy around with....
Btw, how's that crusade army of your's doing on the isles? Deserting en masse yet?
Not yet... Prince Louis has a firm hand and a change of men on Sicily helped keeping desertion out...
Scotland's excomm is not Didz's fault and he has no way to remedy it save for a papal short-circuit...
As to the princess, wait another two turns and she's all yours...
As to yours, last I saw her she was around Dijon and there's no inquisitor in the area or anywhere else in France... Might be a third party involved (a third party with knives... or snakes...)
No reason to let a crusade army desert if there's a town about to be conquered. I think Igno's fate was mostly determined by his trusting too much in the game mechanic and not enough in the players. The game hasn't turned out anything like I expected as the players with the most powerful nations aren't being bullies at all (Err, fair warning, if I was Germany the Danes and Poles wouldn't be long for the world). It's a bit odd to me to have all this time to expand effectively at peace.
:egypt:
I meant to do the same and I have taken only rebel settlements ( and Igno's ones...of course...)Quote:

As for mine...the family tree says "Executed". That would mean inquisitor or some (human) faction wantonly stomping on her...either way. Anyone having hints on it will be rewarded and the culprit shall suffer terribly.
I'm actually not sure whether it can be an inquisitor. Agents (including princesses but not priests) all get an auto 10 piety meaning they are pretty much immune. Add to that she had 7 charm, so an assassin would have no chance.
So...who stomped on her? huh? who?
[edit]
I finished my turn and contemplating whether to play Didz's and Bob's together in one go now. They are still away for a while right?
Didz seems to be checking the forum but not sure if he's able to play.
Constance just gained another star this turn... The longer you wait, the better she'll be....
And I have also turned down some cool marriage proposals for her...
Moved Scotland and Russia as they are unable:

Denmark's turn now.
If you could tell me what you did FH I'd appreciate it.
http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/MPC1104-8.zip
Poland's turn
We have a problem gentlemen. When I end my turn I can see it scroll through the faction shields and when it gets to the rebels it simply halts. You can see France's shield is next, but it won't scroll to it or bring up a password screen.
That's the position England would normally occupy. I have no idea what to do. I hope there's a resolution. I uploaded two saves, one before I hit end turn (I'd prefer you not look around, but :shrug: no biggie) and one right at the rebel shield pause:
http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/MPC1104-8pre.zip
http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/MPC1106.zip
:egypt:
Ugh.
I'll have a look.
This certainly doesn't sound good at all.
I'll upload and try the 1106 one first then the other one if there is any problem...
With a promise to make a quick scroll out of harm's way...
Well, I don't have your password so I cannot load up your end turn game.
As for the 1108 game, it loads fine for me. Sends me to England's login screen.
I suppose I'll ask econ for the password and see what happens when logging in. Hopefully it lets us skip it then.
I've tried the 1106 save and it shows England's login screen as I don't have Igno's PW, I'm blocked maybe Econ could give that PW
EDIT : FH beat me to it...
I would prefer Econ sends me the PW...
I asked econ and got it.
Uploading save as we speak. Will PM Tristan.
When I logged in as England, I saw a part of France revealed for some reason, but everything indicated England was wiped out (including college of cardinals and agent/settlements screens)
Seems strange when I entered Igno's PW i didn't see any part of France but rather Poland under FoW (which would seem logical as it was Ramses that played last turn...)
Anyway the save works and I will play as soon as possible
Whew! :2thumbsup:
I was quite worried, let me tell you. I let it sit on the rebel shield for a full five minutes before I saved and bailed.
:egypt:
I was crossing my fingers the whole time when I opened the save...
It didn't want it to finish like this...
Well, so can I expect to play Ichigo's turn in the next hour or two? :grin:
I rather meant to play it tomorrow... Tonight is for the lady...
Spoken like a true Frenchman :grin2:
Hope you have fun.
That's an interesting way of labelling :grin:
I'll upload Spain's shortly.
I couldn't upload it as 1106-1 as I should have now that England is out...Quote:

Well, you coulda named it -2 as usual :tongue2:
I think keeping to the old naming convention helps with locating the files you need and for backtracking when the game ends eventually.
Spain: http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/MPC1106-3.zip
No problemo...
I'll stick to the naming convention...
You are free to disagree with that you know. :grin:
I know but it makes sense... so I'll go with the flow...
Didz's turn:
http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/MPC1106-5.zip
Was asked to play it, so its Denmark's turn now.
http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/MPC1106-7.zip
I hope you haven't wiped out the Russians :clown: I'm back now and ready to play any future turns.
http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/MPC1106-8.zip
Poland's turn
France is up, but FYI it exhibited the same behavior of pausing on the rebel shield.
http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/MPC1108.zip
:egypt:
Great, we've been going at a pace of 1 turn a day almost since christmas :2thumbsup:
Pat yourselves on the back lads!
Yes, a quick progress...
Mostly thanks to you FH... Subbing formultiple faction keeps a high rhythm...
I'll have the save uploaded at the start of next year...
That means in 6 hours 34 minutes for you?
Took a bit longer...Quote:

Let's get back to normal... Ichigo, your turn...
Still not able to play...
Taking save for you
Spain: http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/MPC1108-3.zip
And your inbox is full
Taking the save.
Taking save once your upload is complete
Scotland: http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/MPC1108-5.zip
Russia: http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/MPC1108-6.zip
Friendly reminder/announcement for everyone:
Please make sure you do not accept any adoptions/man of the hour as this is against the MPC rules (not against MPC2 rules).
You are only allowed to have generals/family members that were there to begin with and those that married into the family.
I noticed a lot of factions/players who have violated this rule already.
So we have 2 options really:
- Keep as it is and allow further adoptions
- Keep to the rules we agreed to and kill off (i.e. boat ride) all generals that were obtained from violations
I think we should put this up for a vote of all participating players as it is rather widespread.
IIRC, Sicily, Scotland, Russia and England are the only factions that have kept to this rule.
I saw clear violations by HRE and France.
Not sure about Spain, Denmark and Poland.
I've remembered. Just got King Alfonso, Prince Rodriguez, and Vaasco who has married to Uraca.
Sorry, I forgot... In the other hotseats I' am currently playing there are no such rules and I got caught up when fighting England...
However, I'm ready to follow any ruling about what is to do about the situation like drowning some generals in the middle of some straits...
Up until now, none of the new generals have been involved in battle except as captains thus becoming MoH... One notably killing William of England...
I thought it made sense IC to have him in the family...
I'm not sure if I accepted one or not, but I think so with the King's fourth 'son.' I had completely forgotten the rule, and I can't see the save right now but I believe that fourth guy is too old to be natural. Won't happen again, I made a note of it in my MPC campaign notes.
Too many balls in the air to remember all the different rules. ;) I like that rule though, I wish there were a way to enforce it in game and prevent the adoptions from being offered.
:egypt:
I'm fairly indifferent about it as in SP I usually keep a pure line anyway.
Still, I would like to hear a general opinion on how to go about this issue so everyone is on an equal footing rather than some swimming in generals and others trying to make ends meet. :yes:
I'd prefer it if we all kept lines pure as the noble Rus' have done :clown:
save for Denmark:http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/MPC1108-7.rar
Frankly, I don't care either way...
In SP, I tend to accept any general that suits my need and I have done the same here (totally forgot about the rule)...
Perhaps we could make a ruling from what is the rule in vanilla (ie no more generals than provinces)
Why not fix the limit at half the number of province ?
It should enable player to do some recruitment of real good generals or IC MoH (like I did) without spamming generals...
Let's say you own 9 nine provinces, you're allowed up to 5 generals... So if you started with 3 generals in your family tree, that's two adoption possible...
It would allow players to keep lines as pure as possible and still allow for manageable "empires"...
While your idea sound reasonable, it may become too complicated when you have a lot of regions and start losing them. You would then need to find time to kill off your excess each turn and just when you were about to do so you might gain another province that allows you to keep one...
It did give me another idea though....
The poll for it is open. Note that I forgot to make it display who voted what, so its anonymous.
I trust that you will not have your friends that are not part of the MPC vote in it :grin:
http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/MPC1110.zip
France is up. Announcements in the Diplo thread.
:egypt:
Should play it tonite with the rest of my turns in other hotseats...
Save for Ichigo...
http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/MPC1110-2.rar
And announcement to be made in the Diplomacy thread...
http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/MPC1110-3.zip
Cecil's turn.
http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/MPC-1112.zip
France is up.
edit: I realized I messed up the naming convention a little bit, shouldn't have had a dash in there. Just take it out when you save Tristan, thanks. :)
:egypt:
Hold on...my turn was skipped? :inquisitive:
I don't mind doing my turn over again in the slightest (No battle results to be changed anyway), but according to our semi-official timekeeper you went over the limit. :oops:
:egypt:
I wonder though, who played my recent turn? It's okay for others to wait for few days but not for me...? :inquisitive:
I'll get my turn, but I won't rush :yes:
I'm back so I can play my turns now.
I don't think anyone took longer than their limit by a few hours since the new year.Quote:

According to our rules, your turn skipping was mandatory and since the new turns are already up, we shouldn't go back.
If Ramses wanted to replay his turn, then here's Poland's turn:
http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/MPC1110-8.zip
However I'm still curious who played my previous turn which was skipped?
Since we haven't heard from Tristan and it won't slow the game I'm happy to do my turn over. It'll be up soon.
:egypt:
Done, and corrected the naming convention so it's in the proper order:
http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/MPC1112.zip
Announcements all the same. :2thumbsup:
:egypt:
OK, got the save...
Sorry for the delay but my internet was down since Thursday... and being away from work didn't help either...
Should have it tomorrow at the latest...
New save for Ichigo :
http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/MPC-1112-2.rar
This is for Tristan:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
I downloaded the latest save from the saves list of the uploader... I think...
I'll check later today and come back to you...
[EDIT] Seeing how my uploaded save is named, I may have used the wrong save...
Is there anything that would allow me to know for sure ?
Can Ramses give me the date and hour of his save so that I can check ?
Ichigo... Hold your horses...
I've taken the wrong save and will have to play my turn again..
