I've granted Tristan a twenty-four hours extension.
Sorry for the delay but I had no access to my M2TW computer these last few days...
After finally being able to check the save Cecil provided, I will choose to withdraw from that attack (3:10-odds fights are unwinnable with only a BG and spear unit)... 186 men against 1777 !!!
You're surely mad at me, Cecil... (Oops ! I meant Knud )

Well, this is easy, don't even need to mess with the save.
No building, recruitment or anything.
Attacking Raspe again since he neglected to retreat. Pming the next player.

V&V RIP Helmut Becker, Duke of Bavaria.

Kermit's made a TWS2 guide? Oh, the other frog....
Once again, the Duke of Tyrol finds himself under attack. However, his indecision in not retreating has sown confusion in his ranks. One of his units of spear militia has dispersed into the countryside, deserting his army. If this repeats itself, the rest of his army may follow his example!
Right then, PMing Zim and EF.
Adding to the confusion caused by his failure to retreat, the Duke of Tyrol gave no orders when Prince Henry's army appeared a second time. There was some milling about at first, but when the enemy army appeared over the horizon Duke Ortwinus's army had had enough, and they dispersed into the countryside. This left the Duke at the mercy of his enemy, and he was promptly captured by the Prince.
The battle has been concluded, and the necessary changes have been made to this save file. Turn order has resumed normally, although now that EF's character is captured he can't take his turn.

Andreas Hümmel has marched into Saxony and laid siege to Hamburg in the name of the Kaiser! He has ordered the construction of one ram and two sets of ladders.
His herald addressed the garrison of the city as follows:
"Brave men of Saxony, your valour is well-renowned and your courage beyond dispute. Know this that none will think the less of you for laying down your arms and surrendering to me. I come in the name of Heinrich Salian, rightful Kaiser of the Romans, and Duke of Franconia. He has your best interests in heart, and I assure you that should you come over to him you shall be treated well.
I know your sense of loyalty to your duke. Indeed, Duke Magnus is known by the name of "Saxon". But I urge you that your loyalty has been sadly mistreated. Indeed, He led you against the Prince of the Danes, and slew him on the field of battle. Brave indeed, was he, to march boldly into battle. Yet his actions have now brought naught but destruction and devastation upon your lands and families. Even now, your duke cowers from the vengeful Danish king, who is intent on avenging the death of his son. Do not think that he will be able to save your wives and children from the merciless raiders of the north. Come over to me, and you will have the Imperial Army itself deliver you from this menace. And the Kaiser alone has the means to organise a lasting peace with the Danish court.
I urge you, noble sons of Saxony, do not let your lord led you and your families to destruction!"

If I take the save now I won't be able to have it back for 48 hours - is that acceptable?
If not, could I please ask Zim to take my turn for me again? I'm still struggling with no internet at home and frequent business trips taking me out of the office...should calm down for a bit after this week.
EDIT: I'm leaving the office now so I have taken the save with me on my USB stick. I'll have it back in just under 48 hours unless Cecil says he can't wait in which case Zim can play it instead.

Good news is I was able to play the turn before I left for my flight and my hotel's business center is still open.
So here is the save.

I needn't take the save, so I'm passing it on to Tristan. I'll send him a PM in a second.
Here is Tristan's save. I'm posting myself because he wanted to ask me some questions first, and agreed to allow me to do so if it was faster. I'm repeating the answers I gave here incase they are helpful.
1. You cannot recuit soldiers are hire mercenaries when your personal treasury is in the red. This is to mimic that fact that in a single-player campaign you cannot do so when the factions treasury is in the red.
2. When your soldiers are under siege in a PvP war without you, you can have them fight to the death, just as in an SP campaign. This is resolved by having the opposing player attack the settlement in a custom battle against the AI.
3. You can disband your soldiers when they're stuck in a settlement undersiege, just like in an SP Campaign.
I'm glad he asked these questions, as they allow me a illustrate my primary design principal for PvP wars: They function exactly like wars against the AI whereever possible.
Not-quite-incidentally, Duke Magnus has ordered his soldiers in Hamburg to disband and return to thier homes! Without any soldiers in the castle, Duke Hummel's men have automatically entered the settlement! Ignoramus must inform me whether he wishes to occupy, sack or exterminate Hamburg before the end of the turn.
Save for Elite Ferret! Or since he's captured, perhaps there is nothing for him to do with the save?
The siege of Bern continues, reinforced.
Btw, what happened with 1082? Was the save-naming incorrect somewhere, cause we have jumped from 1081 to 1083 haven't we?

Here is the save. This was done for GH, using orders from him that required no judgement on my part.
Save. Vaclav followed the Kaiser to the North.
King Knud has issued a challenge to Magnus von Saxony! His army landed to the north of Stettin, drove off von Saxony's regiment of militia, then the King sent his army away by boat and continued onward with just his bodyguard towards towards the castle.
"You know why I am here von Saxony, do you not? I have come to find vengeance for my son! I challenge you to a duel to the death! You will not refuse me, unless you wish to see your siege brought to an end when my Danes scatter your Saxons to the four winds!"
It's the world vs Magnus von Saxony!

I don't need to change anything. The siege of Bern continues, and perhaps some siege towers can be constructed? We await the arrival of the Prince, so may I request that Zim is subbed and not skipped next turn around?

I've sent orders in to Cecil, but whether or not they will be executed depends on a response I get.
"I'm going to die anyway, and therefore have nothing more to do except deliberately annoy Lemur." -Orb, in the chat
"Lemur. Even if he's innocent, he's a pain; so kill him." -Ignoramus
"I'm going to need to collect all of the rants about the guilty lemur, and put them in a pretty box with ponies and pink bows. Then I'm going to sprinkle sparkly magic dust on the box, and kiss it." -Lemur

As per GH's explicit instructions, I have sent the Kaiser's army on a beeline towards Magnus. It is now TheFlax's turn.
Here is the save.
Cecil, I posted my save in the wrong thread. Does the one you posted above take into this into account or not ?
EDIT : it doesn't... How do proceed from this ?
