New hotseat game - Glorious Achievements

**phonicsmonkey** · 08-14-2010, 00:15

thanks ATPG - that's really helpful. I'm back now from my business trip and I'll find some time this weekend to check all this out and finalise the rule set. Then we can start, as we have 11 players now which I think is enough (although more are welcome!)

hey so I'm inclined to go with ATPG's list of achievements, a 20 turn limit and the winner is the guy who has the most achievements by the time limit. Evidence for achievements needs to be provided to the GM in the form of a screenshot.

With regard to the version number - my understanding is that patch 1.5 is for Kingdoms only - as this is vanilla we'll effectively be playing 1.3 (that is the version number that shows up when I launch M2TW vanilla and go to the options screen. When I launch a Kingdoms campaign it says 1.5)

Ok?

So, with that let's get picking our factions from the following list. I have exercised my GM discretion to take Milan.

1: England - barcamartin
2. France - Tristan de Castelreng
3. HRE - TriforceV
4. Spain - Thanatos Eclipse
5. Venice
6. Sicily - Zim
7. Milan - phonicsmonkey
8. Scotland - Visorslash
9. Byzantine Empire
10. Russia
11. Moors
12. Turks
13. Egypt - Quirl al Mustafa Mubarak
14. Denmark - Kavhan Isbul
15. Portugal
16. Poland
17. Hungary - SilverShield

To safely and securely avoid you in this hotseat, phonics, I pick England. ;D

Solid points ATPG, I like your list of achievements alot. Let's get this party started!

gettin started ::: though i still got mixed feelings about this kind of game and the whole achievements thing. but whatever its ur baby man and just as u dont tell a good girl newly mum that her baby is kinda ugly i wont complain any further. maybe it will turn into a big boobed cheerleader. lets see. anyways so are we all going for small and medium factions only? i d prefer that. it would be pretty odd if someone chose egypt or rome. i mean egypt always turns into the largest power and as for rome constantinople is that big it might achieve all the goals pretty soon. even venice is pretty big already but not that big as constantinople obiously so should be fine. i mean im just saying mabye rome and egypt might somehow spoil it. maybe save those spots for people who might show up and are completly new to the whole campaign thing. though im sure none of the guys here would get fun out of an easy achieved egypt win anyway. whatever anyone obviously is free to choose whatever faction he wants to so well i ll give hungary a try

though is it possible to play this version of medieval when there are other games installed like the stainless steel match we got running? i dont know. not sure wether the medieval version u proposed and the stainless steel game work together?

you should already have medieval fully patched if you are playing stainless steel - so no problem. you just launch the vanilla M2TW game to play this hotseat.
