[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.

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

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

[The Celtic Viking]

Yup, I've got that. If you have a clean copy of Rome Total War (or EB 1.1), you simply copy that folder twice and install EB 1.2 into one of them, and WotB in the other. The third you keep for other mods or modified versions of EB (like I have one for WotB, one for BtSH, one for single, one for MP + backup and one for the PBeM).

If you don't have a clean copy of RTW or EB 1.1, I'm afraid to do it you would have to reinstall it. You wouldn't lose your campaign (get it out of its folder*, like to the desktop or whatever to keep it), but it is a bit of a hassle. Me, I love installing/updating things, so I don't mind doing things like that, but from what I hear most people find it dull. I guess I'm just crazy that way.

Edit: Damn my damaged Swedish-English alternation! Every time I intend to write folder I write "map" because the Swedish word for it is "mapp"! It's driving me nuttier!

[Ibn-Khaldun]

TCV .. You have 6 EB's????

Edit: Roka.. just do what TCV just said!!

[Roka]

i cannot believe this, my R:TW disk is cracked, so now i can'#t even continue my mak campaign

if i was to buy and install alexander would i still be able to play WotB?

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I'm not sure but I think RTW and Alex save games are not compatible.
But because I don't have Alexander then I can't be sure.
