Alright, I'm taking the save and moving us forward.
Thanks for the notice on the popups. As long as I'm informed of anything important I'm not too bothered about whether you save before they come up. I consider this kind of a more casual version of KOTR. We don't need edicts to conquer territory, and since there are so few of us formal votes have been rare in the Council (at least, adding up points of influence has typically been unneccesary).
It would be good if we could get more players though. Do you think we should go 'campaigning' for more people? Or just leave it like it is? I think theres plently of players now to have a good dsicussion/ argument/ duel.
More players would be nice, Roadkill is inactive in this game although technically he's supposed to be Athalwolf von Essen. Hopefully we can get more players. Feel free to campaign if you'd like.
Alright, another year done. Currently we have the stongest military in the Baltic, but the drain of fighting three factions simultaneously is beginning to tell. Rupert fought off some Russians threatening Riga but marched north too late to save Pernau, which fell to the Danes (no general inside, so I had to autoresolve it. Not pleasant, but it adds to the challenge). It should be recaptured shortly. Karl has a small but powerful army, with siege engines, sailing to take Visby (two turns, I think). We really need the money from it to stay afloat.
This save is up for EF, who gets some revenge for that last battle. This time he has the overwhelming numbers, English knights, and a catapult to assault A Lithuanian city.

Gibson has a choice. A full stack of Lithuanians, remnants from EF's last battle, seem to be marching south on Lida. Hans has a half decent army in Minsk, and I queued up more men there. I also queued some in Lida, which will be hired before the castle is sieged. More men in Hrodna to the west await a general. If these armies could be combined, I'd say a relief of the future siege of Lida is possible.

Another turn done.

EF, you may have another battle up. You can take the small town of Paneveszys to the north. Two very large Lithuania armies are hanging around Vilnius, I don't think you can fight one without bringing the other into battle. Maybe one can be drawn away? Cavalry reinforcements are available if you need them.
Deguerra, you are two turns away form assaulting Visby.
Gibson, that army marching on Lida move back north to guard Vilnius. You can chase them to help Maximillian, or wait in Minsk to see if the Mongols are going to attack (thry're snooping around).
Pernau has been retaken.
Hmm - I think I'll chase the Lithuanians. Mongols scare me in a siege - i want to trap them in the open field between the walls of the city and an army.
I don't think I'll have time to play this within the time limit but I'd like to, I can always use night attack to only face one you know, Max does have 7 command and the trait is automatically gained at 5 stars.
at might be a good idea, EF. Those two stacks outside of Vilnius are Lithuania's last major forces, so taking them out would make Maximillian quite the hero. ::yes:
*crickets chirping*
Am I to take it you're unable to fight the battle, EF? :clown:
Argghh sorry my internet is back up again now but I'm not sure how long for, I'll take the save and see if it is still up when I've finished.
Ok. You've got a turn up for the Grand Campaign hotseat as well, but if you're still having trouble one of your allies could play it. :yes:
well I've played both hotseats and this battle and the internet is up again so I'm hoping it will work long enough to upload the files - watch this space.

sorry I don't have any screenies as I couldn't trust the internet to upload them but I fought three battles:
one against their largest army, one against the little one and a final one leading to the capture of Vilnius. There is one large army left outside but it's mainly horse archers which would wipe me out in a field battle.
Sweet! Way to rebound.
Sounds good. :2thumbsup:
I shall get the next turn up today.
Good luck with the internet. I have wireless, so I have problems a lot as well...:sweatdrop:
Hey guys, sorry about the delay. Before we contine, I was wondering about something. What should we do about EF's internet problems and deguerra's going away a few weeks? With Warluster still working on getting Kingdoms, that leaves us down to two who can fight battles.
Should we take a break until these are resolved, or just forge ahead?
If we do continue, should we designate subs for the players unable to fight battles?
I believe we should take a break to rest and advertise.
Ok, I'll get together a list of the available avatars. Haven't got any new ones recently, but I think there's still 3 open or so.
I think my internet is working fine now as it hasn't been down for a few days so I should be able to play battles fine again but I'm fine with a break, it was a bit dull with rare discusion IC or OOC.
Funny, I think AussieGiant made the same complaint about KOTR. The answer was that when the Chancellor is doing his job well, there's less discussion. :clown:
I could try to prompt some discussion in the Council thread, and I'll finally get a battle report for Rupert's last battle up today.

With the Frozen Crusade's rebirth we may want to advertise again, I'll write up a list of available avatars.
So all edict's proposed and passed beforehand are still confirmed?
I believe so, although all I know so far is that Gibson pmed me saying everyone but deguerra has signed off on restarting. I think we will just be continuing from where we left off.
