Tristan, you besieged Franfurt with the HRE Emperor who was in it.

At ratio 3:7 against, he seems to think he has a chance against you and 2 regiments of mounted sargents.

I guess he was wrong. Happy slaughtering, it would be sporting if you could take some casualties.

I do love the definition of "sporting."

[OverKnight]

Isn't time for a new Conseil Session? If we want to emulate LotR, they should be every 10 turns/15 years. Of course we had one year of just RGB recruitment, but if we want to keep Conseil Sessions on years with a five or a zero, we should start one now.

IE:

1080
1095
1110
1125
1140

This would make it easier to track. Or we could have the Session at the end of this year before hitting end of turn.

Edit: Actually, starting the Session after we've all moved but before the end of turn button is pressed would be what I recommend. AG gets a full term, but we still get round numbers.

[Vladimir]

Keep in mind it's an important holiday weekend in the US.

[AussieGiant]

Based on OK post I'd like to finish off this turn and hand the save in 1096 to the next person.

That would be ten full turns under governorship as I got the save in 1081.

That might change the timing of the Council a bit.

Thoughts?

[OverKnight]

I'd suggest finishing all player actions for 1095, including Seneschal moves and such, and then hold a Conseil session. The new Seneschal can press end turn, so he can have the benefit of watching the AI moves and the pop ups.

Edit: Don't mind Hugues, he's just whinging a bit.

[AussieGiant]

Yeah I would go with that.

I think you have a pretty valid case in the game.

[econ21]

Despite AG heading his reports with the turn number, I totally lost track and did not realise we are about to have a Conseil session. He seemed just to be getting started. I guess that's the secret of a good performer - always leave them wanting more!

It's the sincere fake skill.

From my perspective I had exactly the same impression.

Suddenly, I'm like; "Damn I need to write up a summary...already?!"

[econ21]

Just had a look at the save and noticed Gaetan stalking the Prince. He seems to have acquired the "Swift to Judge trait", viz "Makes hasty and often unfair decisions over the people". Do I detect Zim's hand in this or is the AI way smarter than we think?

[OverKnight]

Oh dear. . .maybe Gaetan was dropped off at Marseille and it's a coincidence. Perhaps he's heading toward Hermant to have a quiet word about drugging unsuspecting friends.

Hugues got "sadly ignorant" himself, seems fitting now.

Sorry to storm out in the middle of your well reasoned and rational response econ.

[AussieGiant]

*sarcasm on*

Tristan....

exposed...

what game are we playing?

Have we switched to chequers while I was away?

[Ramses II CP]

I have a fair bit of writing to catch up on. I'm hoping to get the Marseille battle up today, and at least make a start on the Gaetan explanation. The Council session will hopefully give me some time to get it all in place and making sense.

There *is* an explanation for Gaetan popping up at Marseille and it'll all come together soon. I hope.

[Cecil XIX]

I noticed Mandorf is now Kaiser... Glad it's one of the original six.

[OverKnight]

Freaky, I'm sure this adds further insult to injury for GH considering the. . .spirited relationship Max and Heinrich had in KotR.

Mandorf must have been adopted by Henry and became heir when the Prince died.

Fingers crossed on Kaiser Otto.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Somehow, the Pope had a hand in this.

[OverKnight]

Exactly. Isn't it interesting how we were told to cease hostilities only after Heinrich was dead?

We're through the looking glass here people.

[ULC]

This is all to convenient...and proof that chaos is not quite as chaotic as one would expect.

I blame it on Random.Org - I am seriously thinking of starting a cult based on it, because I have never received random results, ever, that did not have "coincidental" implications.

[Ramses II CP]

Okay, the battle report for Marseille is up. I hope it makes sense, wrote it rather quickly.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Has anyone heard from mini recently? It shows his last login date as a couple of days ago, but he did not vote in the previous Conseil session, and with Henri of age, his presence will be sorely missed.

[Ramses II CP]

Nothing from him. I figure he'll pop back soon, I think he was in one of the hotseats before wasn't he?

We can definitely use another royal running around. Do we have a close out time on the save? I need to do HA's moves sometime. Hopefully tonight.

[AussieGiant]

The save is open.

In fact Zim needs to convene the next Council session after all the moves are done. I will move tomorrow and then I'm finished.

[Ramses II CP]

Done. I'll probably be out of touch all day tomorrow and most of Monday, going to Dragon Con. Don't pass any legislation without me.

[Zim]

I'll be visiting family tomorrow then working a graveyard shift, but I'll be able to get the Council open on Monday barring any emergencies.

[Braden]

Looking to join here shortly, if you'll have me of course

Just got a full PC again after years in the wilderness and uploading patches, mods etc for this one (Kingdoms on its way in the post).

I'll also have to get back to grips with actually playing this game!

Anyway, hope you'll have me in the next few weeks.

[Ituralde]

Hey Braden!

Glad to have you back! Thanks to you playing in the House of Austria got way more interesting way faster than I expected back in KotR!

[Braden]

Thanks, shame I didnt have the appropriate PC power to continue that game..now I've got something that'll run M2:TW at max everything! taken me a year or so to get round to building it but for less than £250 (including the lurrverly 22" Widescreen monitor), I'm not complaining.

Just started an M2 campaign and waiting on Kingdoms in the post so should be able to join from next week onwards.

[econ21]

Welcome back, Braden! I hope you get a chivalrous character - the Order of the Fleurs de Lys could use some more members, now that we lost Gaetan.

Oh wow, talk about another blast from the past! Welcome back, Braden!

[woad&fangs]

I already told OK this, but I'll let the rest of you know too. I just started college so please forgive Bertin if he isn't very active for this week.
