Push forward!

Taking the save.

And we've got a defensive battle for one of our new players.

mini, you're up. The Emperor has left you to fight off a force attacking Tortosa. Sensing an opportunity, a mid sized Turkish relief army has comes to save their settlement of Damascus. Joining them is the city's garrison itself. Luckily the Emperor left you with the bulk of his army, many very high quality soldiers. Together the Turkish forces have far greater numbers but the quality of their troops is suspect. Many predict even odds (1:1 on the battle screen) but given the lack of strategy our enemies show on the battlefield (stupid AI), the low quality of their soldiers, and the fact that their armies will not enter the field in the same spot, the battle is less worrying than might be expected.

OOC: P.S., to whoever turned the fog of war off.

I checked with TinCow and turning the FOW on and off does not seem to be a big deal. I would appreciate if people would turn it off again before uploading. Some of us like surprises.

new save, battle report @ battle report thread ;-)

[Zim]

I'll be taking the save to night to finish the turn and write my report.

[mini]

well the turn is finished as I fought during the AI movement, hope that aint a problem.

[Zim]

Any popups come up when the next turn began?

[mini]

nope, just a few things on the side which i didn't look at. No popup screens.

[Zim]

Taking the save.

1195-1196 Megas' Report

Military:

No recruitment. Bad news this year, with the young Senator Iosif being bested by the Turks, who needed more than twice Iosif's numbers to beat a Roman army.

At least Tortosa was freed. Ioannis Tagaris may be a much better man than I had thought. Saving a province that belongs to someone at war with him, and doing so because it's better for the Empire is quite admirable.

Economic:

Same old, although the deficit continues to decrease. With Edessa and Zagreb soon to fall at least, this should change.

Other news:

A treaty has been announced between Ioannis Tagaris and Ioannis Komnenos III.

OOC: I'm sorry it's a bit short. I'll try to pad it later.

Andronikos has moved south and is preparing his men for battle!

Andy is now adjacent to Theo. PvP time

Save temporarily frozen. See OOC thread for details.

https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...34#post2151634

I'll be out a few minutes but consider the save reopened if anyone can answer my question in the OOC thread. I apologize for the inconvenience.

[Zim]

I'm guessing I can't hold the save forever.

I don't recall us having to pause the game for the battle we thought was going to occur between Helarionas and Andreas, or the pvp battle before that. Tentatively reopening the save, although if anyone has a move that would interfere with or change the battle I'd like them to run it by TinCow first.

[TinCow]

The game may still be used, but Andronikos Komnenos (woad&fangs) and Theophylaktos Petzeas (Ibn-Khaldun) cannot be moved. In addition, the game cannot be advanced beyond the current turn until the PvP battle is over.

[mini]

hmmz

I have no acces to the game right now. I recall i had some movement points left over, as I was trying to reach Theophylaktos Petzeas (Ibn-Khaldun) with the remnant of my army.
Can anyone check if Petzeas is within my marching distance, and march me there? Or as close as I can get :)

[woad&fangs]

I know that you can't reach him. I checked that when I had the save.

[mini]

OOC: crap.


IC: "Crap."

[miniwally]

so we can take the save or what?
