[SS 6.4] Clash of Gods! OOC - winners Silver Shield, LooseCannon1 and Mithridate

[Nightbringer]

never heard that units dont respect fort dead zones when reinforcing. never had this before. anyway i think that this is wrong. its just another glitch of the game. its okay that Nightbringer did all good with that but from now on we rather respect the dead zones of a fort. its obvious what the dead zones are so we can just respect those even if we theoretically had not to. whats a fort good for otherwise


same is true for situations with ships. i had this before and that for sure is wrong

Sounds good to me.

Sorry for the delay guys, I had a horrible deadline for an article last night and feel asleep at my keyboard for the second time this month.. Should have the next save up by this evening..

[slysnake]

I had to reinstall windows the other night, and, along with it, M2TW, Kingdoms and SS 6.3 and 6.4. For some reason, when I try to load my turn, the loading bar moves along, but then I am taken straight back to the main menu screen. Is this because I am missing an additional patch or file?

[Nightbringer]

did you patch kingdoms to 1.5?

If not, it would do exactly that.

[phonicsmonkey]

Bypassing forts to reinforce a siege is a legitimate thing. Monkey lost a fullstack in the last Teutonics game to that versus me.

Sorry Myth, but I think it's a bug. I thought so at the time and wasn't happy about it at all, don't you remember?

I think Silver's suggestion should be in place for all games - no crossing fort-controlled zones without taking the fort, even if the game will let you.

[Mithridate]

- no crossing fort-controlled zones without taking the fort, even if the game will let you.

No crossing ANY zones of control without dealing with what causes it to make it clear imho :)

yeah, what you said

[Myth]

Right, this makes sense.

[slysnake]

Well, that was another uneventful turn for me, having big armies but not being able to do much with them...

[Mithridate]

Remember, the absolutely horrendous plague renders all catholic siege engines USELESS :P

Turn 12 for the Catholics who are holding Cordoba + 5 points
Total Catholic points - 65/100

Muslims hold London for 1 turn: +5 points
Muslims hold Hamburg 2 turns: +5 points
Muslims convert Hamburg to 50% Islam: +5 points
Muslims capture Rome: + 10 points

Total Muslim points: 50

Wow.. at this rate we have about four turns before the Muslim side wins, since the CS are Catholic and I reckon Jerusalem is either at 100% or close to it.

[Mithridate]

The thought of capturing 3 target cities myself... nom-nom-nom

Tho venice is all due to repeated and impressively forceful headbashing by the kwaz and especially CS^^
Venice is still under siege i hope!

Nope, the kwazie cowards ran back to the other side of the Adriatic when they walked off the battlefield, so you shoudl still have a chance to get killed by venetian spears seniore Turk!

[Mithridate]

You know nothing, Night-bringer... :)

[Thanatos Eclipse]

I'll probably need a few hours extension, if that's ok :)

Well, I hope my allies can get to venice!

I sallied and was able to kill off near 800 of the attackers, but lost my army and only have a few siege weapons sitting in venice now.

Also, with the loss of numerous other settlements, I think that this game is nearing a conclusion pretty quickly. Well played to everyone on the muslim team!

[phonicsmonkey]

Time for an Islamic fightback! C'mon team!

I'm taking full credit for inspiring this Muslim resurgence

[Mithridate]

And i for the seeming turn of the tide, pretty much the first thing i did when entering this hotseat i said:

"Omg, wee need a Jihad!" xD

Ofc, my allies are the sole reason this was even possible after having fought so darn well!

[Myth]

@LooseCannon1 will you be playing your turn or do we get a sub?

[LooseCannon1]

Me? I'm not up.@Mithridate is. He's got the Seljuks. I'm only spectating.

[Mithridate]

You guys are confusing!

France @slysnake

venice captured and at 0%
london 36%
Hamburg 50%

Think this is the last jihad turn... so now on my treasury will be in serious trouble xD

Wow, how could I forget to play this turn?! Will play now :)

Used toggle_fow to check the status of the captered target cities and Jerusalem. A reminder to the Muslims - if the Crusaders are holding Jerusalem you need it at 100% Catholic. If one of the Muslim factions is holding it, you need it at 100% Muslim. Jerusalem was not at 100% Catholic this turn.

I did not use the admin powers to scout at your positions, that I swear on my honour.

Turn 13 for the Catholics who are holding Cordoba + 5 points
Total Catholic points - 70/100

Muslims hold London for 2 turn: +5 points
Muslims hold Hamburg 3 turns: +5 points
Muslims hold Rome for 1 turn: + 5 points
Muslims capture Venice: +10 points

Total Muslim points: 75

Leon-Castille up @Thanatos Eclipse

Come on guys, NB won DoW, Thanatos won LS, slysnake won WiC with me, we gotta do something

[Mithridate]

I smell fear

Any plans on restarting v2 of this after?

[Myth]

Definitely. I have some things that need considering and was going to post them here. I guess I'll do it now anyway.

1. I think it should be SS Late Era instead of Early. More catapult makers and better/more interesting aemies than spears and peasants.
2. Rebalancing of the target cities.
3. Rebalancing/altering the crusade/jihad rules OR
4. Making it an East vs West, where the Catholic factions fight against Orthodox/Muslim and both Crusades and Jihads are banned.

I made two mistakes this game. I recruited too many troops that were useless and thus failed to start AI stomping early on.
I did not make Catapults in London (this was a huge mistake, relying on Cordoba did not do me well at all)
