[BC 2.3] Empires of the East

The sallies rule is just a clarification, it doesn't change anything. It's only for humans vs Ai, so you don't expect to siege one town with two generals and when the dumb AI sallies you get to play the battle and kill 800 men with two units of horse.

So when the AI sallies vs your besieging force the game just autocalcs (so make sure your force is big enough to keep it inside). For player vs player whomever gets the jump gets to play the battle as per ususal.

@loosecannnon1 I think it's better to have all forts disappear. If you can provide the file I'd restart the game.

as i said man i think the game slows down thus is more static and hence boring if we dont make all battles being fought on the map. i see taking out big garrisions with small cav troops is what makes the game fast and unpredictable and hence keeps it open and interesting

Here's the new file forts set to disappear if empty. Just unzip it to your data file. Everybody.

Silver, that rule is usually never posted here anyway, the admins just never create games that allow a player to lead a battle vs the AI when it attacks. If you leave your troops open and the AI attacks you, it gets to AR versus your armies. Otherwise the game becomes MUCH slower, trust me on this one. The last player to end the turn will have to distribute the save for each battle between each player, it's a nightmare.

OK I suggest we all use the second file LooseCannon provided and we get this thing rolling. @Ignoramus are you able to play your turn? I restarted after updating to Loose's most recent file just to be sure. Save is here.

Hey guys,

I'd really like to play this turn, but may I request someone to sub for me on the first turn? I'm really busy with an easy due in a few days time, and don't have the time to do my turn. I haven't had time yet to download the mod, and so consider it unfair on you guys to hold you up. I should be able to play at the start of next week, though. I've played my turn in the Crusades hotseat, as that didn't take much planning and I already had Kingdoms installed - I'll upload it tomorrow.

Thanks and apologies,
Ignoramus.
