Player Chatroom (Off-Character Discussion)

[The Celtic Viking]

Am I supposed to start the first session now, or are we still waiting for something? I'm a little unsure, by the way, about my opening speech. I suppose I should address the "Pyrrhos outside of Pella" situation and the KH nuisance, but what else is there that I have missed? As it seems important that I don't miss anything important, I want to check here this first time.

I have also understood it that I as the Basileus decide the length of the session on my own. Is that correct?

You missed the feather dancers at court in Corinth. Quite distasteful, it should be halted.

[/Bean\]

And my promotion.

Nah but seriously. You should, not introduce, but set up each of the characters, so that each knows what he's doing and where he's going. Your the king, so give orders, rather than let people decide what they want to do, and then have them sat around doing nothing because they havent got anything to do.

And I think we should discuss in here what our policies on capturing cities should be, and on the spawning of armies. I would prefer not to let any factions be destroyed utterly, because it stops any future rise of them. We shouldn't expand too quickly, and maybe do more raids on cities than actually capturing them all the time. What's everyone else's view?

The greeks are too treacherous, they must be destroyed!

[/Bean\]

They should at the very least retain Sparta, and we should (if they don't rebel to them anyway) give them Byzantion, Rhodes (I know), Crete, Thermon to represent the independent Greek states. Then it at least gives us an enemy to fight later rather than just the Eleutheroi, who everyone knows the problems with.

mhh nice idea Bean, but me for myself, I just think we should push them out of hellas and then feed them to further greatness ... well at least in asia minor, at sicilly or some where. but you got the point. - then we would blitz something. but I don't know, how the money thing is handled in PBMs, I just can't get out of debt without blitzing one other faction (Ep/Mak/KH)
Well to the ingame suggestions, my char has recently received some precisious informations. But will there be a own synedron-thread?

edit: found the synedron thread, but for the FD-minimod, is version 1.0 working for EB1.2 aswell?

All right, bean, you strap on some of those pots filled with Greek fire, run into Athens and throw yourself at the finest building you can find, and Everyone, you assist him but under AI control. Iskander, you take your fleet and randomly blockade any port of any random faction, wait one turn and then move on and do the same again. The rest of you can just attack each other at will.

How's that?

Seriously though, as Maion said I'm technically an equal to you, so we must discuss things anyway. Otherwise, lets just skip the Synedrion completely and just let me reign supreme... not that I mind, of course, but I don't think that's how Maion designed the game.

About not destroying factions completely, it depends on the situation IMO, but generally yes, let them live. We're on the same page, in other words.
