There might be a slight delay until the next turn is posted as I'll have both to relieve the siege of York and do the Senechal's work for the turn...

Expect it Saturday at the latest... Will keep you posted...

Btw, do you prefer a 24-hour period per turn or a 48-hour as has been the case until now ?

[Braden]

Hasn't Phillip granted York to Charles?

[Braden]

48hrs is fine for me as I computer-share with my wife...(mutters grumbles that her Empire game is going better than his own)

[Cecil XIX]

Hasn't Phillip granted York to Charles?

Not in the Conseil, at least.

[_Tristan_]

Nope, Charles has no lands of his own yet...

Quite a few players download saves just to make moves (as opposed to fight battles), so 48-hours seems a more realistic interval. It also allows more time for the in character forum exchanges to keep up with in game events.

Save back

Brought troops up to the ford directly south of Frankfurt.

So no fighting yet ?

Btw, have you decided among you who will fight the battle of Frankfurt ? Though I'm not sure you'll have the choice as the game will choose the avatar with the more command stars as leader ? Henri, IIRC ?

[KnightnDay]

Oui, Henri will have the honor. Updating my SoT to cover it, although not real necessary.

Hello people.

I've been following this game avidly for the last few days. It looks very exciting and I would love to join. I just need to finish installing/downloading M2TW, Kingdoms and the various patches first which should only take until tommorow.

I do like an early start however, so is there any family members not taken? If not I would be fine taking a RGB.

[Ramses II CP]

The battle against the Moors near Marseille is finally up, I'm working on the three (!) others I have backlogged.

Welcome to the Org Necrosis!, GM Zim can get you set up soon. I don't know if there are any family members available right now, but a RBG can be created soon enough. Once you have installed everything grab a recent save to check that the install is woking correctly.

Thanks for the welcome.

Will do that, thanks.

[deguerra]

I think there were still two which OK had to choose from, so Necrosis (Hi Necrosis ) could have the other. Just a sec, am looking for the relevant post.

edit: here we are

So I should just grab one of the remaining RGBs, Chretien or Lionel?

So presumably the other would still be available. Sadly, I don't think we've heard from OK since, so you may have to wait until he chooses.

Finally, may I of course express my condolences to KnightnDay. Also I move we dissolve the Duchy of Lorraine. Clearly they are cursed

[Cecil XIX]

Yes, give their lands to Bourgogne.

[deguerra]

My thoughts exactly, mon Duc. However did you guess

[Braden]

Lorraine is not cursed...we've just been doing (clearly) the hard fighting of late.

Such a "curse" will be lifted by my hand!!

[Braden]

Erm…does this make Henri the new Duc of Lorraine?

[Ferret]

It depends if KnightnDay wrote a will or not. If he did then the new Duke is whoever he put in his will and if he didn't the king decides. But yeah it's likely to be Henri either way.

Not sure if he did...we'll find out. Either way...oh crap!

[KnightnDay]

Nope, no will.

[_Tristan_]

Sorry for your loss, KnightnDay... Thomas still had some good years ahead of him.

Will you require the recruitment of a new avatar ?

And OK, have you chosen your own ?

[Braden]

KnightnDay as I said privately, I'm really upset about what happened. All the Avatar units got the same amount of use in the battle and it was just dumb (bad) luck.

Could I have fought the battle differently? With hindsight, certainly...but not much more differently. The main error I made was letting two units of crossbowmen get run down by a unit of enemy knights as I was on busy on the opposite flank of the army.

Again, sorry and I hope you take a RBG as soon as you can.

[Vladimir]

You see, that's why Gontran stays where he belongs: In the rear with the gear. Sure he may venture out for a quick thrust and parry, but he belongs smothered by the full, sweet bosom that is southern France.

[KnightnDay]

Sorry for your loss, KnightnDay... Thomas still had some good years ahead of him.

No thanks, I will remain for the immediate future.

[OverKnight]

Yurrghhh I'm busy for a couple days and my former Duchy goes to pot!

Sorry KnightnDay. Never go into a battle commanded by your heir.

I'll take Chretien Saisset.

hi all,

I've been watching the game the past few days, and have been hoping to join when my comp is set up.

I have Kingdoms via Steam (which works fine). When I patch with Lands to Conquer and try to run it, I get a CA_LIBS box with "Medieval II has encountered a fatal error". I've searched the forums here and elsewhere and see a couple of other people have this problem when using the LtC mod (always when using Steam) but there have been no resolutions I've found.

Anyone run into the same thing when setting up for the game?

All help appreciated, thank you,
Tamur

[shlin28]

If you have Steam you will need to use the Medieval II Launcher to run the mod.

Would this work? I found this in one of Lusted's posts.

Hi Tamur,

Following up here are 2 links from TWC that addesses SS mod but it is the same issue for a possible work around..

[Tamur]

Thanks much Northnovas and shlin28. By using the Medieval 2 launcher, does that mean putting the command-line arguments for the mod on the med 2 executable? I'll have to experiment.

I'll also experiment with the SS fix. It doesn't seem like that's the problem, because Lands to Conquer does show up in the launcher list along with the four Kingdoms campaigns. But it's definitely worth a try.

Thanks again!

[_Tristan_]

I hope you can solve your problems and join soon...

Let us know how things evolve so that an avatar can be recruited for you.
