Unification of the Isles: Britannia Hotseat (completed, winners Myth and Zim)

[Myth]

We'll be ending this with an allied victory, Zim and I discussed this prior to me subbing him for two turns. I could spawn the BA just to see what they get (and slaughter them subsequently). Me and Zim can also make a mini tournament where we send our best general with the best troops to face one another. But that's just for fun, plus I'm sure I'd have an advantage in such a setup :D

[Zim]

Stupid armoured swordsmen...

[phonicsmonkey]

you could settle things with a MP battle and post the video here for us all to watch

[Zim]

Can't friends just conquer a couple islands together from the evil Irish?

P.S. Lousy Irish (says the guy whose last name actually appears in the Irish family tree in Kingdoms sometimes)

P.P.S. I'm happy with ending it either way (MP fight or Norway and Enland as bestest buds). Although I'd note the game is far from over.

[Myth]

MP battles are a hassle. Also, England with Retinue Longbowmen, Armoured Swordsmen, Heavy Bills and now access to gunpowder will stomp Norway's roster.

United victory sounds best.

[Nightbringer]

You're right, Ireland/Wales united victory sounds great!

1 Norwegian stack wiped out, and 1 english merchant dead.

[Myth]

Isn't that assasin going to finally die in an attempt or something? Or must I make my own?

[Ignoramus]

Don't count on it. My useless assassin keeps attempting 5% targets and always fails - and lives.

[Nightbringer]

That assassin is the hero of this game for me. He has killed an unbelievable amount.

[Zim]

I think he'll be the villain of the war in future English textbooks.

[Myth]

So England will join the Assassin wars then. We will make a legion of them and send them to haunt your dreams in the dead of night.

[Ignoramus]

There's not much you can assassinate of Wales. Kill the king, we keep on fighting...

Sounds like there's a story in that..

[Myth]

We can assassinate all your nobility to allow the peons to rise up in rebellion!

The Irish general Kennedy was defeated in a mighty battle, as was Domnall, who came in as reinforcements (and quite scared me when I saw him, he wasn't visible from the tile my army was on in the campaign map).

[Myth]

Ireland up.

The welsh ship has been defeated and can't move next turn.
Chester liberated.

Wales has somehow managed to scrape together one and a half full armies, complete with catapults. King Brian and the broken remains of his armies are seen near the English-Welsh border. Perhaps the celts will indulge us with yet more suicidal attacks against England's sturdy walls and valiant knights? Best move now, because in two season's time we will roll down like an avalanche of steel and death.

Well, I think that about does it for me. I had really hoped that army would be able to win a few more victories.

[Nightbringer]

The turn you uploaded is for last turn. :)

[Zim]

Myth's, mine, or both?

[Nightbringer]

Your's? The one Myth sent me. Wouldn't yours be for him?

[Zim]

I checked my save and it was made on the 13th. I also think Myth would have noticed while playing the turn if he had an older save. Maybe he uploaded a different one by mistake?

Both those defeated armies of yours should be retreated southwest back into that castle.

[Zim]

Ok, I uploaded all 3 of the last saves, just to the password screen (which shows, among other things, the turn number).

Mine shows turn 32, The one I sent (England's) shows 33, and the current save myth uploaded also shows turn 33.

Edit: Just had Phonics do a simple test. Last turn Ireland destroyed an army led by a general Burislev. This turn in about the same spot there should be a different fellow named Haflidhi, who defeated the Irish armies. Phonics opened the current save and looked at the coast. Haflidhi is there, the defeated and killed Burislev is not.

The Irish armies weren't completely destroyed, just about halved or so. NB could check the army numbers between this and the last save as a further test.

[Nightbringer]

Oh! I think I know what happened. Myth pmed a save to me which was last turn,t he one uploaded here is the correct one. I just assumed they were both links to the same file. It is too late now but I will get the save up tomorrow morning.

Hey don't worry about it at all, I didn't have anything better to do tonight than load up random britannia saves and check what turn they were on...

Yes but you're the admin and that's what we pay you for :D

[Nightbringer]

Are the armies you defeated allowed to move? I had thought you were before me in the turn order, but it is allowing them to be moved.

Also, I am pretty much ready to lay down my sword and accept defeat in this game if Ignoramus feels the same. There is absolutely no way I am going to be able to make a comeback.

[Zim]

I'm last in turn order so your armys' move gets a reset. They would be barred from moving per the rules, though.

[Nightbringer]

Wales!
