Stainless Steel 6.2 Hotseat - Dogs of War (completed, winner Nightbringer)

[Merlox]

well, kiev and sicily should do there thing, so i can start on turn 3. we are pretty much done with turn 2.

[nicuurs]

If Merlox can do his magic, I say we let him and continue the game. If not, or if the workload is too much, we should restart. If we restart, one idea is that everyone takes 2 factions, so the time between turns is less then 1 week. Opinions?

[Balthor]

Hello all,

I am ok with any solution. I did not played the last 3 turns after all.

<salute>

[phonicsmonkey]

ok, so here's where we are (as far as I can see):

1 - Lemon needs to add Sicily as a human-controlled faction and post the save for Kiev.

2 - Kiev and Sicily need to play their 2nd turn.

3 - Then Merlox will take the save and try to replicate what we have all done so far, before posting a new save game for us to restart with.

4 - Then Merlox needs to post the new hotseat patch for us all to install

5 - Then if he has been able to replicate, we will start from his new save game file.

6 - If he has not, then Lemon will post a new Turn 1 save game file for us and we'll restart the game.

EDIT: Let's get this done quickly so we can push on with the game asap!

EDIT2: And let me know if there's anything I can do to help..

[Merlox]

I need to know the admin password so i can easily go around the turns, and seeing what every one has done, and seeing if it's possible or not to start with.

2nd, the patch will be out asap.

[The Lemongate]

Acutally, for fairness' sake and since there are some changes we can't really replicate like Venice being played by a new player, I believe we should restart this hotseat from scrap.

The diplomacy thread will stand as is, but as soon as Merlox can replace the patch without the "children bug" I will restart the game and post England's starting turn.

Let's make this happen ASAP!

[Merlox]

As you wish lemongate.

I now announce, that SS 6.2 hotseat patch 1.2 RELEASED!

It have many new improvements, Such as the fatal 6 child crash is now gone, but to try to still put it in it's place, Every faction's leader / heir at the START has the trait of Fertile +3 (They will pop out babies like mad) to try to get the game going a healthy start, also to say

This also has the new and improved "No Dead Settlement". So instead of population having more than a 1000, and still being villages, In this patch, there is 0 villages, and 0 motte and baileys!

I was tempted to put the Roman Empire's faction leader as Imbred +5, and I Profane +5, sadly, that woulda been mean, but king of france already had "girls' trait already in there... guess theres no harm done then, eh? XD

any ways, heres SS 6.2 hotseat patch 1.2

Let's start a new one, but I still could have easily replicated this. =/

[Chaotix]

It may be better this way... you never know, my starting strategy may be dramatically different from TheFlax's.

Or, that could just be me saying I'm going to screw it up royally.

By the way, will this be savegame-compatible?

HERE IS THE STARTING SAVE FOR ENGLAND: Dogs of War Start

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

ok give me about an half an hour and it will be done!

[The Lemongate]

Good I want to be able to start today my invasion force for Hungary and Turkey.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Done, France is up

[The Lemongate]

HRE

[barcamartin]

Good I want to be able to start today my invasion force for Hungary and Turkey.

Oh geez, you're really that pissed? :)

[The Lemongate]

You enjoy it don't you?

[barcamartin]

To be honest, I don't. Not at all.

[The Lemongate]

Honesty is refreshing, coming from you.

[barcamartin]

Oh c'mon! Get over it, will you. It's just a game. I don't enjoy you calling me a dishonest and stupid person, if that's what you wanted to know. As far as I know, I haven't made any attacks against your person. If I have, I apologize.

Now, it's bed time for me. See you in the morrow, sire.

[The Lemongate]

As far as I can tell, all dealings I've had with you were IC and yes totally dishonest. As for stupid, I've never called you stupid.

This is tiresome. Whether or not I indeed decide to invade you from halfway accross the world in this or any other game is, to put it your words, just a game. Woe to me if it's ridiculous and/or stupid.

And for the record, no, I don't actually intend to carry out such whimsical threats. Sorry if you did take them personally.

[barcamartin]

Whatever.. Moving on! :)

[Asinus Asini]

venice is up

[phonicsmonkey]

did Chaotix get a pm to let him know it's his turn?

[Chaotix]

I just got back from an unexpected trip;

I'll be downloading the patch and playing my turn within an hour.

[phonicsmonkey]

hi guys - sorry for the off-topic post, but we're looking for a replacement player in the BC hotseat to take over the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

PM me or post in the BC game thread if you're interested - first come first served!

[Chaotix]

Ok, everyone, I'm having trouble loading up the save, so correct me if I've done something wrong here...

Installed SS 6.0 parts 1 and 2 (done beforehand)
Installed Patch 6.1 with no options selected. (as in all boxes blank)
Installed Patch 6.2 (after downloading WinRAR to extract it...)
Downloaded and extracted Merlox's hotseat patch into SS's /data directory.
Extracted the save, placed it in the saves folder, and tried to load.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

is it the new hot-seat patch or the old one?
I really have no idea.

[Chaotix]

I believe it's the new one, because I used the link he posted on this page.

EDIT: I don't want to put the blame on anyone else necessarily, but if there is nothing wrong with what I've done, it could have been Asinus before me... I will download the first save (England) and see if I can load it.

[The Lemongate]

Did you dl the patch from the first post or from Merlox's post somewhere in the last page?

I had forgot to update the first post with the 1.2 hotseat patch. I've done it now. If you put the 1.1 hotseat patch that might explain the bug.

[Chaotix]

Nope, it's the patch on this page, not the one in the beginning. Although the original save doesn't work either, meaning it's me that's done something wrong....

I really don't want to do a fresh reinstall of SS right now...

[The Lemongate]

I could be wrong here, but we all had 1.1 installed and installed 1.2 over it. That could also be the reason. We'd need a link to 1.1 though.
