HAHA so it would seem

[The Celtic Viking]

Looking at the traits just now, they say that it is autumn to me. Are you sure you looked at the traits when you saw that it was summer, or that you didn't see wrong?

[SwissBarbar]

I did not look in the Traits, but when the game starts it says what season we have

[The Celtic Viking]

OK, then I would say that can't be trusted and that you should rather check the traits for it, as they seem to be correct even when that isn't.

In any case, I want to transfer the Bematistes ancillary from Apelles Iliou Troikou to myself (+5% movement & trade), how do I do this?

[Ibn-Khaldun]

When you start the turn then it will always say either 'Summer' or 'Winter' but never Spring, Fall/Autumn. The reason is quite simple. the game is made for 2 tpy and not for 4 tpy. We get 4 tpy only because of the EB script. Actually we get 3 summers and 1 winter.

The only way is to move ancillaries is that you have to move one character to another characters army and then move that ancillary to your avatar. After that you have to move that character from whom you took that ancillary exactly to the place he was before.
Don't use move_character command when the character is inside a settlement.

Confusing?

Not at all, and I actually tried that, but I failed to move either Sarpedon or Apelles because it refused to recognize the names I tried. How do you write them into the console?

Edit:

If someone could be so kind as to move Andromachos further to Antiocheia?

Put it into your SOT and I'll do it when I take the save.

With Sarpedon it's quite easy. You write what you see - Sarpedon Syriakos
With those who have 3 names you have to write the last 2 names together - Apelles Ilioutroikou

I know I tried Sarpedon Syriakos, but it still didn't work. I also tried Apelles Ilioutroikou, though I'm not 100% I spelt that right (meaning, I may have written IliouTroikou or something like that - though I remember trying different ways, and since Sarpedon Syriakos didn't work...)

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Weird. Sarpedon Syriakos should work.

I'll try to figure this out.

[The Celtic Viking]

Moved Bematistes ancillary from Apelles Iliou Troikou to Sarpedon Syriakos.

Also moved Andromachos Syriakos west, towards Antiocheia per Hax' wishes.

New Save: http://www.mizus.com/pbm/WotB-264-4-5.rar

Are you trying to cheat Antiochos' way back in charge?

Seriously though, since that's from an old save 4 years back I'll have to skip it. (Yes, I downloaded it and saw that you didn't just name it wrong.)

Edit: I found out what I did wrong when I tried to move the ancillary, though: I didn't use "" when writing the name.

[Mjolnir]

Someone needs to do something about our fort being besieged by the Ptolemaioi, it's only got one more turn before it surrenders.

[The Celtic Viking]

The only one who can do anything about it I'm afraid is Roka, unless I can at least sally and autocalc. No one else can get there in time, I think. It would be 1st Syrian if any.

I uploaded the wrong save then because I loaded the right save and then named it right but... well.. this happens when you have almost all the saves in your 'save' folder. Things get confusing!

And yes, You have to always use ""
I've heard that some say that you don't but to be 100% sure then always use those marks.

Only Roka can do it. No one else.

You can't sally. You can autocalc when they attack but you can't sally. I guess that another Roka's character will die! He's so unlucky one!

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Gah! All my hard work of getting Hierosolyma.. all was for nothing!



Actually, I'm quite happy that AI can put such a fight against us!

[Mjolnir]

*sigh* Well, I'm going to need a new assignment with the 1st Parthian dead.

[The Celtic Viking]

I'd just like to point out that I won't be taking the save tonight, but I'll try to do it sixth thing tomorrow morning.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

What are the first five then??

What could be MORE important than WOTB???

[Warluster]

What could be MORE important than WOTB???

WOTB 2

Just downloaded EB 1.1 and am looking for the WOTB update, so I'm ready to fight! Just having a look at the save now (No I won't stuff it up).

[The Celtic Viking]

Well...take a shower, brush my teeth, sacrifice some virgins, eat a few babies... the usual stuff. I could never get up if it wasn't for my morning rituals.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Gah! I had to ask!!

[navarro951]

a for you. In a sick way...maybe its cuz im still half brain dead from exam studies, but that just made me crack up cuz it sounds like an inside joke i have with some buddies. good stuff sounds like a nice morning!

[SwissBarbar]

I gotta give you a too for that, I just couldn't stop laughing

[Ibn-Khaldun]

All armies currently have a commander, so if you want some fighting experience you will have to speak with any of them to see if you can join. Or, you can go and fight rebels yourself. Perhaps join up with a few of those you call cowards and make yourselves useful. Such a force should be very mobile, and this would be a very cost-effective way of creating one."

And this will give all those players the chance to get battle points needed for promotion. And of course the best part is that Arche will free from brigands and rebels!

[SwissBarbar]

Now we speak of battle points, can a satrapial army be led to war or can it only defend its satrapy?

[The Celtic Viking]

Thank you for the balloons. I feel a little bit guilty receiving them, though, seeing as I had to "sacrifice the sacrificing of virgins part", if you know what I mean. That's why I didn't get the save done until noon.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Now we speak of battle points, can a satrapial army be led to war or can it only defend its satrapy?

No. It is there to defend Satrapy(basically Arche) mainly. When it leaves from the territory of Satrapy then Basileus can use it's units anyway he want's since they are considered as regular units then.
So it's not a good idea to piss of Basileus and the take your army outside your Satrapy.
However, if Basileus removes/disbands some units from Satrapal army in this situation he must recruit replacements.

Also, Satrap who have pissed of Basileus might get only cheap units as his 'core' Satrapal Army. The rest of the units (units got because of high Influence/Command) can be chosen by the Satrap.

[SwissBarbar]

Well of course I would aks the basileus first ^^

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Well of course I would aks the basileus first ^^

In that case allow Basileus to decide this. But you should remember that if you capture some settlement then it belongs to Basileus and not to you.

REMEMBER! YOUR 3 SSS'S!!!! shit shave shower! thats passed down from the old man's navy days. You get woken up by a rolling pin smashing inside of a trash can every morning before elementary school and people wonder why you've enlisted lol.

[SwissBarbar]

Yes, I am well aware of that, especially since my Satrapy cannot consist of 2 regions, that have not 1 borderline in common, and all regions that are next to Ipsos already belong to us. I've read the rules
