I think I got all the bugs worked out of it on my end so if anyone wants to test it with me again. I'm up for it.

Did you finally get the darn thing to work? Does it require any modifications or is it finally working on its own now?

I got it connect without any popups...

BTW- Did anyone want to try out the assassination style scoring?

-You get +1 to your wins for every victory.
-Your score is compared to your high score. If its higher, high score = score.
-If you general dies, score = 0, high score stays
-Person at the end of the month with hte highest high score wins.

No need to try it out. Just implement it. (I believe it's perfect. Well, not perfect, but I really like the idea.)

please elaborate a little more

..what exactly would be the High score...and how diff. is it from the wins?

also, what do we do about the hamachi networks? i could only join EBOT_4 and i cannot see anyone but you and a couple more guys there...how do we arrange matches??

P.S. sorry for the other day

...maybe we could have that match some other time??

The only idea I have is to have us all activate the commercial licenses this month(it lasts 30 days) and then figure out something next month. I'll wait for tomorrow to start.

I would love to test Tunngle again since I can connect without it spazzing out.

@mor1d1n - Your score gets reset every time your general dies so the person with the highest score when they died wins.

This, of course, would be the case even if you win the battle and your general dies. The idea is that you may actually want to have your general flee from a losing battle, rather than dying in vain . ..and also that you'll want to protect your general from harm more.

Eventually, I want to set up a tournament that will work as an AAR of sorts, wherein every battle you fight will impact your battles in the future (in who you face, what kind of army you and your opponent has, where you'll be fighting, etc), and you may want to spare entire armies rather than have them fight to the death. We'll see.

Interesting. I will stay tuned on that.

For the moment I skip the tournament of August to continue my holidays and then campaign in SP, but then I shall back.

oh...... now I have to break the tradition of having my general die with his men when his army falls

...however... he will still lead from the front regardless of how the battle is going

-NO STACKING YOUR UNITS ONTOP OF EACH OTHER EXCEPT WHEN ATTACKING

I had no idea what this means until I played vanilla MP with one guy who placed no less than 5 (!!!) units of cavalry (+ sometimes also elephants) on the ground which is normally covered by one. It was really invincible, its charge killed every unit. I was sooo angry, I never did this because it is against realism and common sense, that riders would kill or dismount each other.

I will have a busy september, but perhaps in october I will join this MP.
