So could somebody tell me what exactly the main campaign strategy is right now? I lurked and watched this game for a few years but went on to other things.

Well, that's to be decided during this council session. What can be expected with most certainty is that Alexandreia will be taken, and perhaps Memphis too. There are those who are pushing for Greece, and Edict 6.3 is going in that very direction. If it goes through one can expect that what will follow is a larger scale invasion, especially once Sarpedon shows up at the scene again. If not, it'll probably happen later.

That's pretty much all that's on the table right now. The Council is new and it's been rather quiet the last time. What I'm hoping for are some different opinions and propositions so that discussions can heat up once again. I also want to see a new Chancellor, but I guess I might as well ask for a Lamborghini too while I'm at it.

Bwahahaa... and then my next Event will strike!! Bwahahaaa (insert very evil laugh here )

There are 8 people(including Sarpedon) who can become Chancellors. Leaving Sarpedon and Timarchos out it still gives 6 people who can become Chancellors. I actually would like to see Aratos show us how good manager he actually is.

Oh, I'm just being an arrogant . Of course there are other people possible on paper, but we all know who it'll be when the votes are counted.

Thanks!

I'm afraid I'll have to resign T_T

The next few weeks will be really busy since this is my last year on school, and I don't have time to check on this regularly next to the EBPBM game. Sorry guys.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Sry to hear that Hax!

Another thing..

For the purpose of making it easier to manage this game and to make it easier for me to keep the Library up to date I plan to propose these CA's:

This will be added to the General Rules:

1.6 - Game Master: Ibn-Khaldun will serve as Game Master and is responsible for management of the game and enforcement of the Game Rules. Ibn-Khaldun can delegate any of his powers to another person whenever he chooses.

And this one will be added to Game Management part:

1.4 Game Management

At the start of each turn, the Chancellor will post an seasonal report on the events of the last turn, including a save game file for the new turn.
After the seasonal report is posted, players will have 24 hours to download the save, and make their personal moves.
Players can move their avatars, move any army (Royal or otherwise) their avatar commands and fight any battles against the AI that they are capable of fighting with their avatar’s army.
The Basileus may move any avatar or army that has not been moved in this way as he best sees fit, including moves that result in battles, except that he cannot move a player’s avatar, units on the Satrapies territory or units under player's control in any manner that player has expressly prohibited.
The Chancellor may extend the time limit beyond 24 hours at his discretion, but all players are encouraged to act as swiftly as possible to keep the game moving.
Players may not move avatars or armies into the territory of a neutral or allied faction without the permission of the Basileus.
Nor may they attack the settlements or armies of neutral or allied factions without a declaration of war from the Basileus, a Chancellor or an Edict.
In case player do not vote in 2 consecutive Council Session Ibn-Khaldun can kill that avatar off(including family members).

I will post them in Council thread soon. I just don't see why I should make Library entries when player haven't been around for sometime! Also, I said that I can kill not that I will kill them. If someone wants to return later then just PM me and I will leave his avatar alone.

And this one for Battle points part:

2.5 Battle Points

To get to the next rank(Rule 2.4) every Strategos must get certain amount of 'battle points'. How many 'battle points' 1 battle gives are shown below. If player haven't posted screenshot with the results of the battle he will receive 1 Bp less than shown below.
"Crushing Defeat" -3 points
"Clear Defeat" -2 point
"Average Defeat" -1 point
"Close Defeat" 0 point
"Close Victory" 1/2 point
"Average Victory" 1 point
"Clear Victory" 2 points
"Heroic Victory" 3 points

I will post them soon in Council thread. Just thought that I will let you see them and discuss over them a bit before I do since they are more OOC rule changes than IC ones.

EDIT: Also Mikithon have received Satrapei Medias ancillary. This will be removed as soon as I kill off some old avatars.

[navarro951]

I will probably implement that screenshot for battles rule in BtSH, before its too late.

[Roka]

hey guys, i'm back from my EB sabbatical and i'm playing once again

has anyone figured out how to have a working version of 1.2 and a working version of 1.1 with the WotB mod on the same computer

don't really want to lose my 1.2 makedonia campaign

[navarro951]

@ Merlinus: Getting ready for this chancellor job, in your SOT where it says 2/4 enroute and 1/3 understrength all that. You mean 2 of 4 enroute and 1 of 3 understrength or actually fractionally understrength? Thanks.

[MerlinusCDXX]

The / means "of" so 2 of 4 etc., and not the percentage, but next time I load up the game I'll get exact troop numbers in the units for you. I'll update my SOT post often enough to let you know exactly what's going on, and if I feel a pressing need to have something retrained etc. I'll mention it in my turn report and my SOT post. And if you have any questions about my army's status you can always just ask me.

[Potocello]

hi WotB players, i've just started to play this and I would just like to introduce myself.

currently I am playing BtSH so I have some idea of what to do, or at least i think. ha

anyway, just saying hi

[SwissBarbar]

Welcome, Poto :-)
