OOC Thread and Chatroom

[kingsnake]

I'd be very grateful if someone could post the current edict situation in this format:

post this where? I don't mind doing it

[Warmaster Horus]

Here... Or PM it to me (since I'll be posting it soon after in the library).

Thanks for the help!

And now... Off to studying

[Ibn-Khaldun]

OOC: I cannot propose this in a more IC way, what I mean is that we should keep the eddicts, the people who proposed them and who seconded them, written and updated on the first or second post of each Council thread, so we don't need to go searching between posts... at least the game masters will have the most of the work done to start polling

There will be only one Council thread. Each time a new session begins, either me or WH, will declare the session open but we will not start another thread. I think we have something important to discuss even if it's not Council session at the moment.

[kingsnake]

good luck for your exam.. or test... or whatever it is
I'm only going to post the first two seconders, since some eddicts were seconded by more than two ppl

Edict 1.1: Following Regular Armies shall be created: 1rst Syrian Army(in Antiocheia), 1rst Lydian Army(in Sardis), 1rst Parthian Army(in Hekatompylos).
Proposed: Basileus Antiochos Syriakos

Edict 1.2: Send envoys to the steppe nomads of the Sakae tribes, to propose a complete cease-fire.
Proposed: Andromachos Syriakos

Edict 1.3: That whatever part of the 1st Persian and/or 1st Syrian armies that can be spared from their primary mission move to annex the town of Phraspaa in Atropatene to deny the Arshkanig access to their Hai lapdogs, to prevent a combined assault on our northern border.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Wow..

Now we have all the current edicts here..
Thanks.. you made my life a lot easier since I was planning to do that myself

[kingsnake]

No problem, I don't mind relieving the GM's from some boring tasks, once in a while

[Warmaster Horus]

Perfect, cheers!

And yeah, I've got a maths test and an economics one tomorrow...

[Celtic_Punk]

ouch, im good at maths, but I still think maths is shit. the only math you really need is taxes and what not. thats all they should teach you in school, and if you need/want more than that, then they should have a separate class for it that you sign up for. theres a whole lot of highschool that you really don't need. (like careers/civics class, what a frakkin waste of time that was, even french has its uses!)

[kingsnake]

Civics were a waste I agree, but I don't have them this year...
Another waste of time was Philosophy... ok some times it was great to learn debating skills (I called this part of the class true philosophy), but the theory part of the class (which I called Philosophy History) and the tests were just memory, I managed the 1st year, but on the 2nd I was fed up, getting alot of pressure from the other classes and just cheated all year. got the same grade as the 1st year
I don't agree on you about maths tough, they can help develop your problem solving skills.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Council session will end soon.. I'll give another 2 hours and then I'll close the session and the poll will go up.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Ok.. I have to apologize..
Looking the save and our current diplomatic relations I found out that we are still allied to Baktria,Hayasdan and Pahlava. Also we are allied to Pontos and Makedonia. I don't know why I thought that they canceled the alliance with us.
I think confused it with another Seleukid campaign I have going at the moment.
I hope that this kind of mistake will not happen again.

[Hax]

Don't worry, the Pahlava will attack soon enough.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Yeah.. that's true though.

[Celtic_Punk]

if they dont we can always just send an army of like a hundred assassins after their best general that might piss them off enough

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Lol.. looks like all Edicts will pass.. Don't think that it is possible for them not to pass even if the rest who haven't voted will vote no to all Edicts.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

The save will be made available tomorrow.

So people.. This thing here is finally ready to start!

[Hax]

...and there was much rejoicing!

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Hax you should mention what would be the army type for your Satrapy' Army.

[MerlinusCDXX]

Ibn-Khaldun, have you done the Satrapal armies yet or is that happening on your taking of the save?

[kingsnake]

I have vista and installed RTW on Program files.... I can't find the savegame folder...~

EDIT:
Hmm I found it lol the old EB 0.81 savegames are here....
Should I have to EB installed now the vanilla and the WotB on the same Rome total war folder... so do I put the WotB save game with the vanilla saves? I'll try it, if I'm doing something wrong tell me please.

I'm just going to check the state of the empire than I'll officially declare that i took the save, if no one does it in the mean time...

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Ibn-Khaldun, have you done the Satrapal armies yet or is that happening on your taking of the save?

All armies will be recruited while we play the game..

So it will take 2-3 turns before all those armies are recruited and in their required strength.

I have vista and installed RTW on Program files.... I can't find the savegame folder...

I'm sorry but I can't help you since I don't have Vista.

[kingsnake]

Oh the armies aren't recruit yet.. of course

Where is the Syrian army being recruited?

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Of course they aren't.. It would be cheating to give us those armies in the beginning of the game..
We need to recruit them..
That is the reason I need to know what army types to recruit in Satrapies and why I ask permission to recruit units that belong to Satrap..

[Warmaster Horus]

kingsnake, you should put the save in the saves subfolder of EB. If there isn't one, you can just create it (it's normally created by default upon firing up the game).

[kingsnake]

Thanks WH but I already found the save folder, it's very hidden in my User folder... its a bit unpratical to get there so I'll try to create a save folder on the EB folder.

I've just had two problem's, one may be computer related though:

I tried taking screenshots during and post battle to prove my victory, and make the battle report thread more interessting, but, all they've saved as is blank screens (ie: complete blackness), I'm currently using infraview, converting the files doesn't help either

secondly, I got a MotH, hit escape to save (as per LotR rules) but the scrolls gone, this I think affects our game the most if its RTW

lil' help?

Have you turned anti-aliasing off? This might be the problem if you forgot to do that.

I think it is possible to minimize the scroll. Just click on that small icon bottom left. If not then we need to think what to do when these MotH offers happen.

.

Ach, how stupid of me... boy is my face red

[Ibn-Khaldun]

This have happened to me a lot. Probably every time I have reinstalled RTW I always forgot to turn anti-aliasing off. And later when I want to look at the pics I made I see only dark screen.

Also.. it's entirely possible to minimize the MotH offer, save it and have it there when you reload the save. Just don't use Esc.
Btw.. who was the adopter?

[kingsnake]

Can we still use the royal council when our character has any in-game question when there is no session open?

test done ;)
