I agree with PK's assessment of the ladder. I've put the new version of my pretty picture on my user page.

I like that you keep it on your page. Easier to find.

The Caesar's House has just had some changes though. Tepaki seems on the verge of changing as well.

[flyd]

Yes, just noticed that and updated it. Tepaki's been on the verge of changing for 10 years.

No, Tepaki was on the verge of a verge for 10 years. Now, they are finally on the verge.

*edit*

Also Aerovindos ek Samou has been retired and should be stricken from the Order's list.

[Askthepizzaguy]

The Tepaki has changed.

Estratios Monomachos is now the sole ruler of the Durazzoan Empire!

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

ALL WILL BOW BEFORE ME AND OBEY MY BRUTAL COMMANDS!!!

Or, you know, whatever the Emperor wants.

[TinCow]

I'm impressed. A Dux by the middle of the third Megas term (assuming nothing else changes). That's faster than I expected. Looks like Asteri will be able to do pretty much anything they want for a while, especially if they get the next Megas.

[Ituralde]

With all those House changes, could someone, I think it was Cecil the last time, put up one of those nice pictures where the different House areas are colour-coded? I always like to visualize things, but since I have two left hands when it comes to graphic editing I rely on one of you to do it!

[Ignoramus]

Yes, I really liked the first map, it was nice and informative, and it helps outsiders understand what's going on.

Is there a monthly review of LotR in the Gahzette like there was for KotR?

[OverKnight]

Good job FLYdude. An efficient (and a bit sardonic) term.

I'm assuming TC, as the game runner, will want to gavel in the next Senate Session.

[Ferret]

uhhh doesn't my SOT post mean what FLYdude has been doing with my army is illegal. He never had my permission to move it, let alone command it...

[Ituralde]

The Event sounds interesting, to say the least! I hope everybody who joins makes the most of it, I'm already looking forward to watch the in-fighting begin!

My avatar won't go, considering his unbelievably low piety and his current situation facing the Turks. Also, my avatars don't just go on the first Crusade event that comes along!

[Ignoramus]

I wonder how many of the Order will join...

[_Tristan_]

WOOT !! WOOT !! The Ptolemaic Empire will be reborn !!

[ULC]

I'd join, as soon as FD has the pagan magician removed. Seems in an effort to convert people, others have taken it upon themselves to convert the Order.

FD posted in a couple Megas reports that both Asteri armies were combined into one army. So, you basically have 3 options.

1.) Let the situation stand.

2.) Ask Kalameteros for enough units in his army to make your own army.

3.) If Kalameteros refuses, you can demand that the Megas gather enough units from unlocked armies, unlocked garrisons, unsanctioned armies, and recruitment to make your own army.

Don't worry, I was planning to anyway.

[woad&fangs]

grrgg, my little brother is monopolizing my totalwar computer so I can't view my avatar choices

This crusade thingamabobber should be interesting

[Ibn-Khaldun]

TC, I just looked the Senate Library thread and shouldn't Byblos be in the inactive players list too??

He haven't showed up here over a month now..

Didn't I already order my army to constructed at the start of this term? And I only changed my post to allow deguerra to move my army after I got back and moving doesn't include my army. Hasn't the chancellor broken the law or something for not getting me an army, as the men under deguerra are in his not mine as only I am supposed to command mine...

Oh well just make sure I get one next term, whoever is chancellor

As I told deguerra in a PM, that situation only occured because you both let it occur. FD built you the army. He put it in Kalameteros's stack. Now, as for getting the army, you need to either get units out of the Asteri armies or demand that the new Megas make you an army.

[Ferret]

I only "let it occur" because I was on holiday with no internet access...

And I could always break my oath to him so he can't have an army and then demand that the chancellor give those units to me, which I will do if I have to...

[GeneralHankerchief]

Excellent, I'm glad that opinion for the Crusade is high right now. It should definitely be a good experience.

ATPG, I'll answer your PM sometime later today.

[TinCow]

If he misses a second regular Senate vote (this coming one), I will move him to inactive.

Sounds like a good thing to work out IC.

That event seems to be just what the doctor ordered.

It gives the un-landed avatars something to do and has the potential to cause some good IC drama. In fact, I think the games have already started...

[Zim]

Nah, I'd just switch my oath to Markianos so he could keep his army.

Noone's taken your army, it's sitting right there in the stack with Kalameteros. I'm not sure which units are Kalameteros' and which are Hypatios', but about 30 seconds of talking to deguerra would clear it up if you are so against having Hypatios or his PA involved in the assault on Iconium.

Hah, I just checked the save and Bart has both Understands logistics and Poor logistician
So he knows what is needed to keep an army moving but has no grasp of it.

Thanks that helps, and just to make it clear I have no problem with what was done I'm just still trying to understand the rules

Sorry if I offended you FLYdude.

Bart abstractly knows how to keep an army supplied but is very bad at implementing it.

And the net result is -1 Command, -1 troop morale, 10% increased movement range... even if the situation is

So basically, he can keep the troops supplied but they are mad at him anyways. Maybe he supplies them with crappy food or something.

[Ferret]

Crappy food with good nutrients that lets them march further?
