SS Sign-up - Dual Alliance:Double Jeopardy

[phonicsmonkey]

Can someone help me to get SS6.3 installed at the same time as 6.2 (which I'm using for the DoW hotseat)?

Go nuts!

[Swarbs]

Hmmm...how do I edit my posts?

@phonicsmonkey, when you install SS6.3 it goes into a separate directory (mods/SS6.3) to SS6.2 (mods/Stainless_Steel_6) so you can install the two of them together without any problems.

Forget it, it looks completely simple, sorry

EDIT: just saw your post, thanks Swarbs

you need full membership to edit posts - pm a mod and explain you're in a hotseat game and you would like him to upgrade you so you can edit.

P.S.

Confirmed. Timur the Lame has withdrawn so no player for Leon and Sicily atm.

Couple of things on the rules:

1. Ballistas do zero damage to buildings in SS6.3. So ballistas can't be used even to attack pallisades.

2. "it Cannot Sack any cities except for the actual TARGET city of the Crusade/Jihad."
Does this mean it can capture or exterminate other cities? It just can't sack them?

[phonicsmonkey]

Installation question - do we select any of the optional scripts on setup? And which AI should I select?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Barring any unforeseen installation issues, I'll confirm.

Responce to 1.
Yeah Swarbs I've confirmed this, Ballistas are offically a dead letter, so they can open nothing. It was actually a pretty nice addition to the 6.3 I think.
However, the Other seige weapons and their effectiveness still applies.

Responce to 2.
Nope, You can't Touch any other cities with Jihad/Crusade army. A Crusade/Jihad army can only be used capture a target city of the crusade/jihad. However the army can be used on other armies and forts of the target Jihad/crusades nation.

There is reason behind this: Players often use a Jihad/Crusade army to advance their own ambitions, especially if they are bordering the target of a jihad/crusade nation. usually, in such cases, Instead of sending their army towards the targeted city, players often just use a Jihad/crusade army to take advantage of cities close to their border... This is why, it is unacceptable.

I forget the name of the AI - but its the meanist one (hardest AI) - big bad whatever..

And then Early campaign.

Besides that nothing else, unless anyone sees any benefit with other submods.

[Thanatos Eclipse]

confirmed!

Definitely agree with this. That's why I wanted to check! :)

I assume you mean Gracul's AI by the meanest and baddest one?

Also, @phonicsmonkey you can change the era, scripts and options at any time using the SS_setup.exe file in the SS6.3 directory. That lets you run lots of different campaigns with different options without having to reinstall and mess around with submods.

Triforce, seeing as your recruiting at both the .org and .net, were are you going to host the actual game? (so I know if I need to make a profile over at the .net)

Ahh good question..
The awnser (both).
I'll make an actual game forum for both TWCENTER and TOTALWAR.ORG, and simply import and export the .sav's from one or the other...

[Thanatos Eclipse]

but what about the council and story threads? It might cause some confusion in the rp if people end up posting around the same time on different threads

Well the Council and Story threads could also be done in a smilar fashion.

I could always open up a forum for a RP council in both .org and .net and update them on regular intervals by copy/pasting and quoting the information.
In RP fashion we could say that these are two distant councils that keep updated upon each others progress and/or transgressions.
Fair enough?

Only one thing though, I know you like to RP Thantos, but there may be some players (from the Center specifically) who aren't as dynamic, and may exclude the RP element altogether - we will just assume they have shunned the council.

[Thanatos Eclipse]

Sounds good, I was just curious how that would work.

Sounds like a lot of work for you, but if you're ok with that then it sounds like it could work.

Just to be clear though, I'm not going to be checking the other forum at all. I'm not trying to be awkward but I just don't have time to visit both places...

Why not just keep the Council and Story threads here, and anyone from TWcenter who doesn't have an account can just PM me or Triforce and we can post their comments here? Seems to make more sense than trying to maintain two independent threads and having everything end up in the wrong order, or important posts get missed out by mistake...

I like this idea :-)

Hey all, I know I am coming in pretty late but I would love to be a replacement or subber if needed.

unfortunately I have yet to have a confirmation from Tristan de Castelreng.
I'm willing to give him another 24 hours, because I know he had some computer problems recently. However if he is unable to play I will sign you up to take his place

[Nightbringer]

ok sounds good
