Have you installed Kingdoms, LTC and are ready to play?

[Zim]

This is probably a good place to post this rather than making a new thread...

When would people like to start? I know a couple players are getting Kingdoms within a week or two, is that too late?

[TheFlax]

I don't mind waiting a week or two, but I think we should get the mini mod ready ASAP so we can recruit the RGBs and get to character selection soon. I'm sure there are more than a few people eager to get a character.

[Zim]

I'm hoping to get the mod downloaded tomorrow, then I'll try to get the minimod together for testing and getting those rgbs recruited...

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I agree. Mini mod should be finished and avatars recruited before we start. Perhaps 2-3 days before we start. This would give us time to create a history for our characters.

[Zim]

I'm going to work to get those together so we can start getting the characters chosen.

The name selection process is over but I can't seem to get my hands on the names.txt file that I need in order to fully implement the changes.

The file that Rowan gave me doesn't work with the descr_names.txt files I modded and I can't find the names.txt in LTC directory.

Any help is welcome.

I might have installed LTC Gold on top of the non-Kingdoms LTC which could explain why I had names.txt and you don't. If LTC Gold doesn't include names.txt (it was right next to names.strings.bin for me) then I don't know how to continue.

[Zim]

Questions from someone with no clue when it comes to modding. If LTC Gold is lacking that file, where is it getting its names from? The name file for vanilla? I remember reading if a file isn't in the folder for the mod, the game just grabs the vanilla file. Could we modify that and stick it in the right folder for LTC Gold?

We can wait a week or two, but I agree that spawning avatars does not need to wait for that. Indeed, we could even start the first Council session without everyone having installed the game, so long as we do not start player movement (I think to get the avatars, the GM needs to advance the game one turn).

We just need the minimod to do that.

[Zim]

We should probably get a handle on the rules before the Council Session starts, though it wouldn't hurt if the pvp or duel took a bit longer. We should figure out whether we want the first three rgbs to be full fledged Dukes or stewards waiting on the princes to come of age, though, so they can decide how to rpesent themselves IC.

[_Tristan_]

The idea of stewards is fine with me. We may expect some from the start tensions if a steward relented to release his stewardship in favour of the royal son.

The question is whether we want to be plunged into boiling oil so soon after starting.

[TheFlax]

Right now, the two sons are age 2 and 1, so there would be 30 turns or so before they come of age. Also, there would be one house without a royal at the head, seeing has the king has a daughter.
