How did I know you'd be the first person to post in here?

Tincow, we had better start fast because I have started drooling just looking at the list of avatars...

There will be drool all over the place if we do not start soon...

I love this draft picking process.

I've been scanning over the likely candidates and I must say it looks good!!

PK, you're banana's!

Great comment in the Sign Up thread though. That made me laugh out loud at my computer this evening.

So, can anyone tell me how to find out what 'Naksou' means? I assume 'ek' is the equivalent of 'von'.

[deguerra]

you are correct about "ek": http://www.searchgodsword.org/lex/gr...gi?number=1537

googling it reveals only links to totalwar.org/twcenter and some hotels in the Greek island of Naxos. Given the similarity, perhaps it has something to do with Naxos? Perhaps it is Naxos?

[flyd]

After a short search, it seems to refer to the island of Naxos (or Naksos, Ναξος in Greek) in the Aegean sea. Naksou is some sort of an inflected form, probably meaning of, on, or from Naxos. I think instead of a proper last name, your guy has an "of Naxos" suffix.

[pevergreen]

I wont be changing my avatar! It changes for no man. Maybe if I get really attached to him.

[deguerra]

you will

My computer has started crashing randomly, but it can still load up M2. I don't know for how long though, and if it does die then it'll probably be a month or two before I can afford to buy another one. I don't wanna drop out though, but I'm not really what I could do.

[KarlXII]

I have a question.

My MTW2 is not installed, and I don't have the time to become heavily involved (gameplay wise). Is there anyway I can still participate in a House, or in an electoral process but not have to play the actual game?

[pevergreen]

I'm going to say yes. As long as you have time to post in the Senate threads, and post what orders you have, you should have enough time.

Well, after the latest story thread post, I'm sure everyone will agree the Empire should put all its efforts into capturing Genoa! It is vital for the mental well being of the princess!

You realize I am going to have to one-up you.

I promise that there will be a story with so much sap, you could caulk an ocean going vessel with it.

[The Lemongate]

Ocean going vessel or buoyant Genoese merchant?

[_Tristan_]

LotR being a cooperative but also competitive game, I prefer people to come out of the closet and claim they have played any battle before time rather than have them do it with nobody being the wiser...

I understand that it is best not to do it to keep a bit of surprise to the game but there is no way to enforce a ban on such conduct so I think it is better to allow it but keeping the results to PM or spoilers is best, so as not to runin other's people's game...

-1 Command, -1 Authority, -20% movement points, -2 hitpoints, -1 piety.

Armatos just has a general 'unhealthy' trait that gives -1 hitpoints which I ascribed to figure from the voyage to Antioch.

Thanks.

*edit*

Want to reconsider that assault now PK?

Nah, this doesn't change anything yet. I'll just have Makedonios rest afterwards.

Like in Rest In Pieces...

from what? governing a city?

[_Tristan_]

No from conquering it...

Makedonios : Ass... *cough*cough*...ault !!!

Order Soldier: Did he say what I think I heard ?

Other Soldier : Yes, I think you heard him right... Now I understand why they say he's losing piety...

Order Soldier (to Makedonios) : You talkin' to me ? You F... talkin' to me ? Euh Sir ?

[_Tristan_]

Sorry for the double post but I meant to say that pics have been posted for the Durazzo raid... Text should follow shortly...

I've re-read the rules but I haven't been able to find a single indication of what exactly can be done during Emergency Senate session nor what is needed to call one ?

You need TC to call emergency senate session

What can be done there .. well .. that I do not know

[_Tristan_]

It seems OK as Basileos could call one...

Is there some simple way of checking if the install works correctly such as the "Arnold test" in KotR ?

[TinCow]

Sure. Hit the end turn button a few times. If none of the avatars get Unwatched by the King or Has the King's Eye, it has worked. Alternatively, you could add the trait Overconfident to an avatar with the console. If the text description says it gives a -1 to Command, it worked. If the text description says it gives a -3 to Command, it did not work.
