Mr Lionheart? Who do you mean Mr Glenn?

That red-haired old sod from the Thames who intends to march across Europa and claim the lands of the noble Turk!

Good job that the Austrian locked him up!

(Let's not be too far off-topic though!)

I will start a new Hellenic Campaign soon, and also continue with my Portuguese campaign.
However I am waiting for a spare hour or two before I play the next turn for that..

Thank you for your posts, Caravel!

Right the actual Lionheart, i see. Thought it was a manner of speech for someone else.

[PershsNhpios]

I played two turns of my Portuguese campaign.

I really do not want to play anymore!

Perhaps I should not spoil the events for my AAR, but nonetheless.. there simply remains little purpose for the next turn.

Can anyone tell me what they have thought of Hellenic: Total War, or Ancient: Total War?
I have not tried the latter, but I am interested in the Hellenic campaigns there also.
These mods seem to have been greatly popular, yet none of the remaining players have ever mentioned them whilst I have been here.

I find Hellenic: Total War very charming - if frustrating when you are put on a mountainous map..

No word from Crowley.. He must be locked up in the Tower of London!

Pitty it was a very nice campaign, that kept us in our toes tips.

Thank you and well done Mr Glenn.

HTW as well as ATW are both very nice and interesting mods...

In that case, why not do the unthinkable for a change and cheat like there is no tomorrow eh?

You could "receive" 1 million florins and workers who are not afraid to work sundays....

Just to see the surprised (but sadly not rendered) faces of the Byz as you smash their pitiful armies into dust and claim supremacy for Iberia!

[gollum]

Oh Noble Durango, what dark thoughts you lay upon a troubled brow. Do you not see that the weariness by the damnest Byzantines malcontent, their warmongering? Let him who has understanding leave those dark corridors for better times...

[PershsNhpios]

Indeed, you have not understood, Durango!

For the situation is such that, even if I did have 1,000,000 florins, I would no place to spend them, and no workers to be paid!
I may be able to pry two more updates out of this mess!

Then I can test your modification of the MedMod, Durango - I doubt if I should then last even to 1180..

(Unless I started in High - ha ha ha ha! Harumph..)

no fish - pay in cash please

Once a gollum, always a gollum.

*dangles fressssh fisssssh in the midst of thread*

Glenn, for what it's worth I think you should play an easier campaign until you get used to the mod. Once you're fully fluent in all of the ins and outs you should be able to take on a hard faction like Portugal. I haven't played the Medmod for years, but I'm sure that Señores gollum and Durango will be able to suggest a decent faction to start out as.

I've never played HTW. I remember downloading, installing, firing it up, looking, closing, uninstalling...

Unfortunately I've done this with a lot of mods and there are many more that I haven't tried at all. I probably haven't given them a chance and have been put off by minor details.

I suppose I judge many mods by the SW mod's standards and I also don't go in for the "more factions, more units, more graphics" type of thing. Also when playing many mods I always get put off by "personalisations". The SW mod doesn't really have these, it just looks and plays like it should. You get the feeling that no one went out of their way to concentrate on a particular area to add units, factions and provinces in regions that interest them. The same can't be said for most other mods.
