Polish. And its like 2 crossbows.
Only reason they dared is because Gunther and Peter are slightly south of Thorn to combine up (can't let Peter go up on his own because there was a large Polish army nearby)

Heh, if it's the same Polish army as we've seen before I think the garrison should be able to take them on. Don't know tho, as we haven't seen the replay yet.
Alright guys, I got 4 battles coming up, first come first serve:
Total clock counting from now: 72 hours
TinCow: Lothar Steffen+1 Teutonic regiment+Budapest garrison vs Hungarian army
Ignoramus: Ulrich Hümmel+Adana garrison vs Turks
Dutch_guy: Günther von Kastilien+FHA+Peter von Kastilien+2 peasant archer regiments vs Poles
Xdeathfire: Friedrich Scherer+SHA vs French army
Stig: Ansehelm von Kastilien+Thorn garrison vs Poles
Stig: Ansehelm von Kastilien vs Poles outside Thorn
Make sure you got fixes installed properly before fighting

whos the new king of outremer? ulrich von hummel?
Conrad Salier.
wait so whats the deal with ulrich being "prinz of antioch" if he doesnt inherit outremer?
I think Hümmel was reassigned as Count of Adana.
Welcome, McIwoo: I've updated the playlist in the first post of the Chancellor and Governors Reports thread to include two spare Bavarian avatars: Markus and Matthias Steffen. You are welcome to take your pick. Overknight is welcome too, if he wants to stay in the House of Bavaria (as most players seem to want to stay in their old House when reincarnated).
In the light of what gibson91921 has said about the succession, what is going on? Siegfried von Kastilien is so young and far away from Prinz Jobst in the family tree, I can't make sense of it. It seems random (perverse, even).
But we have to make do. Any one without an avatar or with an aging avatar want to pick up or reserve Siegfried? I'd prefer the Emperor/Prinzes to go to long-stayers who we know can be relied upon to stick with the PBM. Right now we have Ituralde and Overknight without avatars - would either of you consider switching House to pick up Siegfried? Alternatively, we might reserve Siegried for FLYdude as Fredericus is getting on a bit. I am sure any of those three players would do a great job as Emperor.
I could pick up Siegfried when Henry pops off, but I was starting to get attached (or resigned!) to the idea of Elberhard and anyway that would make it a bit of deja vu for everyone, so a fresh face might be best.
Who becomes Prince is quite unreliable and even varies from turn to turn. It might even be that its not Siegfried. Remember when I ran the test and got it to be Peter? (Siegfried was of age by then too)
My more recent tests two turns ago designated Fredericus as Prince.
wow
i think at this point, optimally, it would be arnold of austria
hes the grandson of heinrich, and sigismund's cousin who is the father of jobst. he is younger than jobst. he's a duke, royal born, yada yada yada.
Aye, it all depends on what you do, not even on turns. It's almost random. If I move a diplomat to Place A it might be Jack, but would I have moved it to Place B it might be George, that's how random it is.
OK, thanks factionheir and Stig. Forget what I said. We'll deal with the succession when it happens.
FH, why don't we sally out of Thorn, even if that other Polish army aids, 3 groups on knights should easely win. The FHA will be busy, as there's another Polish army coming it's way.
I'm planning to have Peter or Günther drive the Poles away at Thorn after the first battle. More important to get Peter knighted first. Both of them at at full MP.
Scratch that, I just realized Ansehelm is inside Thorn. You want to fight them now? Just pick the save and let me know.
Aye I'm willing to fight it more or less now
OK, updating posts.
I didn't do well

edit: savefile uploaded
Well done :)
PM me the post battle screen please or post it somewhere
I don't really feel this battle even deserves a battle report, so here's the screen:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
I released the prisoners, as Ansehelm is a good man (sides crossbowmen militia is :daisy: anyway).
Oh, and before I forgot, Ansehelm gained 1 command, but I clicked the wrong button so that message is gone.
Would you happen to be up to the task of attacking the Poles slightly outside Thorn with your force while noone else is having a go at their battles? (if so, please reply and also let me know the pre-battle odds for that battle)
That all depends on what the battle odds are (tho it should be an easy win anyway). I'm not doing anything now, so I'll take a look.
hey FH ooc i think ur a swell chancellor but IC im going to hate u ok?:laugh4:
Heh, those Poles retreat if you attack them. So I moved in again, and the battle odds are 10:3
Meh, I'll give you some therapy ICly then. Yanno, brainwash and stuff.
Have at em Stig. Noting down that you are in posession of the save
[edit]
Btw, make sure you only attack them with 2 units of knights (so 1 GB and 1 cav unit). 3 is illegal :wink2:
Righto, even then it should still be easy.
Btw, I take it I can move all the men back into Thorn after the battle. Can I recruit some mercenaries on the way back (I've seen a dangerous looking Russian army at our borders, and it can siege Thorn next turn). Taking that in mind I suggest Thorn recruits as much as it can.
Edit: the bloody Poles refused to pay the ransom, damned.
That'll be a tough siege next turn, I bet ya.
Can I move Ansehelm back into Thorn?
And again I'm getting worse and worse:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
I'll be fixing up recruitment at the end of turn. Will keep additional garrison for Thorn in mind, but I already have a large force en route to reinforce the FHA from Staufen.
Oh, and btw, Ansehelm gained a loyalty in that battle
Heh, you might just gain more influence in future votes if you keep that up ~:)
Let me know the new odds please though and when you upload the save
Which odds?
I fought the battle (screenie above edited in) as the odds were 10:3
Ah, I thought the 10:3 were when you had all three cav units in your stack.
They were the same with 3 cav and 2 cav
Savefile uploaded, Ansehelm back in Thorn. As Thorn would otherwise seriously lack defence (15 Mailed Knights, erhhh)
o man, i'm in for it now
Ya, I notice that in an argument in the diet, it is almost impossible to back down gracefully... :P
Is that why you don't participate? :)
I just love arguing though. When I was Maximillian von Tyrolia, the merchant, I warned against the Kaiser's pagan ways. When I was Ehrhart von Mahren (im trying to not act like i was Ehrhart in my present argument but its hard), I argued with King Otto about something or other. And now, I argue with the Chancellor and eldest son of the Emperor. I dont choose many smart people lol.
Btw, like most Franconians, Péter's piety is less than the standard three, thus i ridicule the Pope.
like i said, hans, nothing personal. i just like to raise a ruckus - the diet needs the activity it brings about neways
You might ridicule the pope, but in the end you'd have to agree that none of the "silly strong believers from other nations" (ridicule the other factions' piety) would dare attack the pope, so having Durazzo in the pope's hands is perfect :D
Btw I'd strongly suggest you get Peter out of the argument before he makes a fool of himself. I mean really. Now he's making up wild conspiracy stories and ends up learning that everyone else was involved in drawing up the plans. I almost feel sorry....almost ~:)
yeah im thinkin of stopping soon
conspiracy theories? i was just saying that if that was your plans all along to give it away, then your plans are crap lol
edit: now my own brother is against me, out of character. i stink haha
2edit: "the death of ehrhart has affected me personally" i thought that was a clever, subtle joke.
FH, yes, that's one reason. haha. Also I am never a very good RP, never could immerse myself as the character, so for me it is more fun to watch from the sideline... ahahha
well now, hows that for kick-starting the Diet?
i think i was noble in defeat, eventually
edit - geez! 600 replies in this topic since may 27th!
Psst econ might lock it if you say that so loud! :dancinglock:
StoneCold: You could still play just as a general without much debate. Someone who just fights and keeps mostly out of politics.
debatings the most fun part - planning ur arguments, rallying support, admitting that it was you who shot JFK
Yes, we do alot of background disccusion here instead of in the diet I guess... :P
Btw, FH, if you are going to give up Sofia, where in God's name are you building a leather tanner there then, wasting resources... :P Regarding playing, I also don't have the game and a system that can play it, haha...
Ya, think econ might be locking this thread soon, over the 20 page limit now. :P
I didn't say we were giving up Sofia, did I? I mean I'm even training our very first regiment of Gothic knights there at the moment and it now has a swordsmith guild :D
[edit]
Besides, I have a bad feeling that the Byzantines might be backstabbing us soon after they take Thessalonica.
Oh... I thought the plan was to give it up... :P now we just make the border longer... haha, oh well...
Well we certainly should stop conquering now, otherwise we win this game to quickly ... unless there's an option to continue playing after taking 50 provinces.
Btw, what happen to the french crusade? Is anyone or army moving up there to shadow it?
none of my old avatars died at sofia, so i dont care as much except that we have gothic knights and a swordsmiths guild. what a waste that would be lol
With the pope, I am now wondering is that enough to trigger the expansionist pope... :P I guess that also depends on the character of the pope?
we should keep playing until we conquer the world!
Yeah, but then it won't be fun. We need to be challenged for as long as we can.
I currently have a campaign going myself with Spain (and for my standards I'm doing pretty well). The pope has loads of Italy in that one, and is the strongest military power. He has Rome, Genoa, Florence, Bologna, Naples, Ajaccio and Cagliari.Quote:

The scripts force the pope not to attack factions that are catholic and non excommunicated. So they do get rather active if around excommed catholics.
And yes, there is an option to allow playing after winning. We are at ~32 settlements at the moment though, so still 13 off.
The French are being shadowed by an assassin and I got reinforcements coming from the west.
well we can make it harder on ourselves internally, with politcal strife. when the 4 houses get bigger we can establish new ones. new kingdoms like outremer, political parties, etc. thats what i go for whenever i gripe in the diet. timurids will be a pain, mongols are coming still, black death, americaQuote:
