Kings of the Nile - Sign Up thread

[Myth]

Confirmed. Alexandros Thraikikos for me.

[LeoCordis]

Sweet, I've been waiting for one of these for ages. Confirmed. Dibs on the Thracian guy, the youngest one.

I assume you mean Leontiskos Thraikikos?

If so I will take a RGB because I'd rather leave the middle aged guy to someone else. Rather start with a young character.

[Ashurnasirpal II]

Confirming from work but since I can't look at the game here, I'll say just give me anyone, it'll probably take me a while to figure out the game so my starting character doesn't matter overmuch.

[LeoCordis]

I think there is middle-aged brother of the faction leader and the faction leader left, assuming the old guys are being left to die before we start.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Yes, the old ones will die. I am willing to allow adoptions if one of them is the adopter. Also, marriages to one of their daughters will be allowed(that bethrothed thing).
I will take a RBG, just to let you know. Hopefully, someone active could take the FL. Wouldn't be fun to overthrough someone inactive.

[Ashurnasirpal II]

Ok so having checked the game, I don't think I have the experience to be FL, so why not the older Meleagros Ptolemaios for me. He probably wont last that long seeing he's already 43, but will give me time to get used to the game. Plus I like his 'personality' traits. He sounds like a stubborn liberal

[Ibn-Khaldun]

That gives about 20 years to play him. That's 80 turns or 6-7 Chancellor terms(one term lasts 12 turns). So, this gives a lot of time to play as him.

[The Celtic Viking]

Someone called for a king?

Confirmed.

If in the turns you play out an adoption or marriage comes along, I'd like to have one of those then I guess.

Yep, hadn't played a Ptolemies game in a while and couldn't remember his name, he's the one.

Someone called for a king?

[Visor]

Hmm. I'll have to set it up, but if possible, put me down.

[strategos roma]

I'm interested but I'm right in the middle of an exam now so I don't exactly have the time for it. When will it start?

Btw, how do I upload a savedgame?

[phonicsmonkey]

Confirmed.

If you want to overthrow someone, he's your guy.

srsly.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

strategos roma - I would like to start the First Council Session in Friday or Saturday the following few days.

How to upload a saved game?

1. From the top of the page click Download

2. The you see PBM Save Game Files category.

3. Click on 2011

4. Now you should see at the top of the page (under those News, Forum, Tournaments etc stuff) Upload File link.

5. Enter the name of the save. And below there is Upload File box. Once you have uploaded your save just press Submit and that's all.

Visorslash - You're in my list now.

EDIT: Btw, how does "Kings of the Nile" sound? KotN for short.

[GenosseGeneral]

I'm interested, though I never took part in anything like this, so I will have to study the rules carefully... but I like the idea!

[Ibn-Khaldun]

If you want to know more about these kind of games then take a look at this thread.

Announcement

I have played the game and created the starting save. Our position is quite interesting. Tarsos is under siege. Paraitonion was captured by the Philon of Kyrene. Large Seleucid army is in Damascus. I was able to sign ceasefire with Pontos and Macedonia. King is in Sidon and his army is right next to the city. Heir is in Memphis and his army is outside the city. It's Summer of 269.

I'll post the save and the moded files when I get back from work. 10 RBG's were created. A guy married into the family and Euergetes became of age.

Can I take the guy who married into the family then? Better than an RGB methinks.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I'll post the mugshots of the avatars after work. You can then decide who you want. Some RBG-s have better traits than him in my opinion.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

All of you please download this: Modified files and the starting save

Copies of original files are included. EBBS script is necessary to play the game and to reduce possibilities of CTD's. All other files are not necessary to play the game but I thought I add them as well.

Will post the pictures of avatars as soon as possible.

[LeoCordis]

Right, swapping my character once more. :D

I'll have the second guy in the stack of RGB's, Bothos I think his first name is.

[johnhughthom]

Since you don't mind my posting the RGBs I-K, I thought it would speed things along.

[GenosseGeneral]

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Btw, I asked a subforum for our game. Hopefully we can get it.

EDIT: He is yours GG!

[The Celtic Viking]

srsly.

Hahaha, you can just feel the love flowing through the screen!

You've got to admit though that putting me in a powerful position is a sure way to make the game more... interesting... even if only by making people try to get me out of it!

[phonicsmonkey]

lol. I wondered when you were going to notice that...

[Zim]

I'll take Euergetes if he's still up and you have noone in mind for him.

[Visor]

Ankhwennerfer Philometer please.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Gah, last time I try to edit my posts with a phone...
