Neither do I, but how's this: the battle might even be decided this very turn.

I look forward to the next update!

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

what exactly does that mean TCV?

[The Celtic Viking]

Nothing at all. It's just trash talk. Ignore and move on.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

I am sorry TCV, but I dont trust you enough to believe that you would lie to me

[Celtic_Punk]

The vacation was okay. I slept awefully, for some reason (not related to this battle ), but I guess I made up for it in slacking. There wasn't much else to do anyway. The cliché that Danes speak as if they've constantly got porridge in their mouth was conclusively proven, and there was a ridiculous amount of Danish flags waving around. (Seriously, there was like one - but often two, and sometimes even more - at both ends of practically every street.) Denmark's chief export must be old people, and I can't thank Gustav Vasa enough for freeing us from those bastards.

They did have a very nice forest, though.

you should see irelaand, flags EVVERYwhere, too many damn union jakcs. makes me sick to my stomache to go back to ym home and see so many people flock to the side of the oppressors.

What? When have I ever lied? I'm Truth Incarnate! Why would - no, how could - I lie to you? Your untrusting nature is not necessary.

Yeah, but that still doesn't surprise me as much as the frequency of Danish flags on Bornholm. I had pictured that Scandinavia as a whole was very non-nationalistic, but this makes me question it. Maybe Sweden's the only one. (In Scandinavia, not the world.)

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Feedback sent to both sides.
Public feedback will be posted soon.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

see this is the kind of insane coincidence I am talking about! of course, it still isnt over, and mini still has the troops to bring TCV to his knees. We both have taken pretty heavy casualties TCV, things are winding down.

(actually I will PM you this)

[Ibn-Khaldun]

One thing I learned from all these simulations was that Archers are quite useless against heavy infantry(Hypaspistai, Thorakitai, Argyraspides etc.)! Or.. I just don't know how to use them!

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

yes, I should have really known that. If this was a real battle my screening plan might have worked, but not here. I am happy enough to have almost crushed Sarpedons mighty Phalanx.

[kingsnake]

God damn it... looks like I missed alot of action...

My pc broke down by the end of April, by the time I got a new one I was really busy with school and exams. I need huge grades to get to study all the way up Scotland :(

I am completely amazed that my character is still alive, I presumed you killed him. Well I'm going to spend my free time to get updated on everything that happened and rejoin as soon as possible.

It would be great if you guys gave me the headlines of what happened!!

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

the world is ending as we know it. that pretty much sums up the past month

Cp has taken over as Satrap while you were gone, though now you are back that should change. the Epirites have taken Byzantium and killed Swiss Barbar. Me and TCV are having a epic battle in Antioch. and that seems about it... for the abridged version.

[kingsnake]

Hmm I see.. I got some ideas in my head to pull back aratos back in scene.

Still running in version 1.1?

[The Celtic Viking]

Yes - 1.2 is not save game compatible, so we won't be switching to it for this game.

Welcome back, by the way!

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Welcome back kingsnake!

I didn't kill Aratos since I knew that you will come back.

CDf, forgot that Makedonians have taken Pergamon and Ipsos and will take Sardis soon as well.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

ah yes, the Makedonian blitz, I had forgotten about that. Suffice to say the Arche is a mess.

[Celtic_Punk]

The only place thats going well is Egypt. Because of yours truely... It seems that whereever Cunobelinus and Aratos are things fall into line and place.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

yes that must be it...... I wonder......


with the way things are going Ibn may have to extend the round for turn four. Negotiations may not be over..... (may have jumped the gun and made assumptions TCV, sorry, unless I am right in which case prepare for the endgame!)

[Celtic_Punk]

Hey, Cunobelinus is an amazing general. He's never ever lost a battle. And has a string of victories that were quite against the odds.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Nevermind, it would appear that negotiations are pretty much over, and surprise surprise, no ceasefire.... (my fault, I am to darn stubborn.)

[Celtic_Punk]

well if you try to usurp the throne, You shall die!

[kingsnake]

Welcome back kingsnake!

I didn't kill Aratos since I knew that you will come back.

CDf, forgot that Makedonians have taken Pergamon and Ipsos and will take Sardis soon as well.

haha thanks Ibn-Khaldun!

The season turns have stopped until the end of the Battle for Antiocheia?

[mini]

they have indeed, as this is a hugely important battle.

[kingsnake]

I have two EB folders right now. One named EB (with v1.2) and a second one named WotB (with v1.1 and WotB mod).
Now what? I have Vista btw...

I've tried adding -mod:WotB -show_err to the RomeTW.exe on the start menu, but the game that it opens is still v1.2.

[Celtic_Punk]

yes I had a hard time having 1.1 and 1.2
I said bollocks to 1.2 until WOTB finishes. Which I hope won't be for a long long long time.
I suggest you take the same road Kingsnake.


Also, CDF I swear to God I will sack Babylon and every other city you are in possession of if you don't respect mah authoritah!

[mini]

i've got like 4 or 5 different EB folders :)

Thing is, you have to start with a clean, RTW folder, patched to 1.x (cant remember which patch EB uses)

This folder you can copy as many times as you want on your HD, just be sure you rename them in a fashion you can remember what folder is which :)


then you can start installing different mods in each folder.
Really easy.

[kingsnake]

meh I managed to install it my way long time ago but don't remember -_-

okay but is it the RomeTW.exe that is to be changed and have -mod:X -show_err thing added, right?

EDIT: Nope the problem is not solved.

I am extracting the zipped WotB, anyone know where the installer is?

[Ibn-Khaldun]

There were no installer version of the WotB mod.

Also, get ready for the feedback of the battle.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

dunn dunn dunnn!!!!!!!
I am willing to bet I am dead.

[The Celtic Viking]

Have ye so little faith in my merciful nature?
