Medieval II Total War- Kingdoms: Brittania Five Player Hotseat signup/invite thread.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Hello

I would like to host a Kingdoms: Brittania hotseat game to get back into the swing of things. Here's my vision:

• An intimate setting- the British Isles. No where to run, no where to hide.
• The diplomatic situation will be tense.
• Roleplaying and staying in character is encouraged.
• Prior hotseat experience is welcome.

We're looking for a certain kind of player... the dedicated fanatic. That's why this game will be more exclusive than others, there are only 5 slots and we would need someone who is willing to throw themselves into character, and won't forget to send in their moves. Dropouts and inactive players disrupt games, and with only 5 nations, losing any player would be devastating. So please make sure you want to play.


Presently, here's what things could look like:

1. Askthepizzaguy (GM and player)
2. TheFlax (player)
3. YLC (player)
4. Chaotix (player)
5. johnhughthom (player)

England- Askthepizzaguy (not confirmed)
Scotland- Johnhughthom (not confirmed)
Ireland- Chaotix (not confirmed)
Wales- TheFlax (not confirmed)
Norway- YLC (not confirmed)



House rules:

• The usual no console/no cheating rules apply, which I will clarify before the game begins.
• Battles may be auto-resolved but they can also be player controlled.
• Spies cannot be used to force open settlements during seiges

(it's unrealistic the way this mechanic gets abused... any faction with multiple brothels will have an unfair advantage over the others. If you wish to capture a settlement in one turn, use seige equipment, which is slow, bulky, and expensive. That should limit examples of five settlements falling in a given turn and factions being defeated so quickly)


I have almost all the players in mind for this game, but should my invitations be declined, I'll have room for others. If you are interested, fire me a private message.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Okay, some of my invitees have declined.

Anyone interested?

I might start hunting down my old duel to the death or Broken Crescent buddies.

[Chaotix]

I can play, but not until Wednesday of next week (May 12). I've got AP tests to worry about before that.

Also, there is the fact that I consider you guys to play on a level far higher than my own abilities, so if you'd like a challenge go for someone else.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Welcome Chaotix, you're exactly who I am looking for. For some reason I blanked that you were even in hotseats.

You're IN. please choose a faction.

We're not concerned entirely with "abilities". I want dedication, roleplay, and effort. I also don't see where you are far worse than us on anything. Blitzing aside, which doesn't apply here, I could tighten up my generalship to a great degree. Other than the usual horse tactics, I am not as skilled with my infantry as others.

[Chaotix]

Ok, if you say so. I'll take Ireland for now, or Norway if YLC doesn't show.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Edit: nevermind, we have an objection to that, so I have withdrawn it.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Beefy187 is in the process of getting Kingdoms so he can join.


Does everyone have Kingdoms with the 1.5 patch?

Confirm that you are in, and that you have Medieval 2 with Kingdoms with the 1.5 patch.


Confirmed: (3/5)

I wouldn't mind trying something like this, I've hardly ever played M2TW as I hate the campaign AI but I take it that wouldn't come into this?

[Chaotix]

Yeah, I've got Med II 1.5. There won't be any "hotseat patches", will there?

[TheFlax]

I'm good to go!

[Askthepizzaguy]

Beefy says he can't play until he finds an english version of the game. Which makes sense.

All right, I'll need another player.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I wouldn't mind trying something like this, I've hardly ever played M2TW as I hate the campaign AI but I take it that wouldn't come into this?

Oh awesome.

Yeah, the campaign AI wouldn't exist due to all factions being controlled by players.

You're in, john!

Yeah, I've got Med II 1.5. There won't be any "hotseat patches", will there?

Hmmm....

I believe I have the Stainless Steel hotseat patch for the other hotseat I am in, but I dont' think it applies to this game.

[johnhughthom]

Downloading my Steam M2TW as we speak and confirming in-ness.

[ULC]

Here to confirm. Still not sure if I wanted Norway or Ireland.

[johnhughthom]

Gah, I forgot, I'm off on holiday for a week next Saturday so won't be able to play for that week. I'm happy enough to leave basic defensive instructions if that's okay. I take it I would only miss a few turns?

That's absolutely fine. no issues there at all. I will be as accomodating as I can be, just know that if you're at war with someone, unless you give specific instructions to attack certain things, I'll be attempting to preserve your territory and troops as best I can (playing defensively), but not choosing who you attack or where you attack, due to my neutrality in the matter. If you wish certain things be attacked I will.

The better your instructions, the better the outcome should be.

If you're fighting England, go ahead and have an ally or other anti-English faction control your turn.

[Askthepizzaguy]

The game has started.

Please follow this link and begin. As soon as the Irish player is confirmed as Ireland, you can take the save file.
