    Still I need to ask a question:
    Did you read well the first post? The HS won't require much of your time, but you need to be available to play the same days and the same time each week (you'll choose when). So if you can ,pls indicate me your time and days of preference as indicated in the first post.

    We'll start with 12-13 players I'll define the blocks (will be mostly as indicated in my example).
    Ideally the British islands, Egypt and Novgorod block should be taken by less experienced players as those are the strongest and easiest to manage, and thus will give us the most balanced experienced.
    In general I suggest the less experienced players to choose blocks on the corners (beyond the one I mentioned in order o easiness Viking block,Turks block (if there's no Kwarezm/mongols, Moorish-Sicily block and Spanish block) shouldn't be too hard to manage.
    Block at the center (in order of easiness France Block,Byz-Hung, HRE block, TO-Lith block, Venice-Genoa Block) will be much harder to manage, and will require luck (events you can't simply control that need to turn in your favor) and excellent diplomacy skills beyond the usual skills require to succeed.

    So you can choose your blocks looking at the example I wrote before ( I added few modifications):
    Block 1: England-Scotland
    Block 2: Norway-Denmark
    Block 3: HRE-Poland
    Block 4: France-Aragon
    Block 5: Portugal-Castille (and Aragon if player block 4 chooses France)
    Block 6: Moors-Sicily
    Block 7: Venice-Genoa
    Block 8: Hungary -ERE
    Block 9: TO-Lihuania (and whatever is not chosen between Novgorod and Kiev).
    Block 10:Koj- Fatmids
    Block 11: Turks (and Byzantines if player block 8 chooses Hungary, and Koj if player block 10 chooses Egypt)
    Block 12: Novgorod-Kiev
    Block 13: Mongols- Kwarezm

    If more than one player wants the same block, we'll make a drawing for those and the loser will get whatever is left.
    And pls whoever didn't indicate me the days and time, pls do so. When you do it, do not think only when you're free now, but possibly a time
    and days in which you might possible be free to continue playing in the future
    .
    For now:
    Legourou - block 1

    I would like block 2 if possible.

    Nice to see some old faces like Tonno and Core.

    Block 7 for me please. I was a legendary Italian-faction player, and it was 4 years ago. :)

    Well, at least do not exterminate settlements.

    I suggest that experienced players do not chose factions like :Castile , England, Novgorod, Koj, Egypt.

    i think in Block 5 Portugal-Castile (Aragon if there is France and Castile if there is Moors, otherwise Portugal .because Castle can become invincible without moors near.

    Default Re: New SS 6.4 HS: preparations thread (2 turns per week)

    It worked better for me (in Under the Dome) when I was assigned a time frame to work around.

    So I will fill any time slot that needs filling.

  9. #39

    Default Re: New SS 6.4 HS: preparations thread (2 turns per week)

    Very well. Scratch mine.I choose block 8.

  10. #40

    Default Re: New SS 6.4 HS: preparations thread (2 turns per week)

    I'll pick any time frame that is left, since there are probably players that are more tight on schedule.

    (I'm used to play with Iberian factions but...)
    Block 3 for me... If my memory is good HRE and Poland have good units.

    Default Re: New SS 6.4 HS: preparations thread (2 turns per week)

    Very well guys, here's the update situation:

    Block 1: England-Scotland- Emproment (time?)
    Block 2: Norway-Denmark - Gaius Octavianus
    Block 3: HRE-Poland - Tonno
    Block 4: France-Aragon Sonnet
    Block 5: Portugal-Castille (and Aragon if player block 4 chooses France) :Yuonyuon
    Block 6: Moors-Sicily
    Block 7: Venice-Genoa : Core7-inside
    Block 8: Hungary -ERE : Lord Luka
    Block 9: TO-Lihuania (and whatever is not chosen between Novgorod and Kiev). Vipman
    Block 10:Koj- Fatmids - dur3x
    Block 11: Turks (and Byzantines if player block 8 chooses Hungary, and Koj if player block 10 chooses Egypt) :
    Block 12: Novgorod-Kiev : Makrell
    Block 13: Mongols- Kwarezm

    Core7-inside: are you sure you want block 7? It'll likely be the hardest to play. But if you like it, you can surely go ahead.
    I think Auran should (if he likes it) the Egypt faction, since he's the least experienced among the players who still have to choose.
    Or maybe Dur3x.

    BTW my timezone is CET (GMT+1).I won't have strict schedule during the summer until the school starts.After that I will probably only have time in the afternoon after 5 pm during the week. I will however still be able to play pretty much anytime during the weekends.

    As always my English is wired , i thought if Castile will be take n and in block 6 will be sicily i guess Castile have no rival.

    i really don t like Spanish i just made an observation. i could take Aragon but if someone take Moors i m dead, and so on. no wander why nobody wants France,Aragon,Castile or Moors , is like a jungle in that area.

    ....hmm i m still thinking i don t want middle east ether .:))))

    EDIT: i just realize that "invicta" chose block 11 . KOJ or Turks ? i hope that is not a last moment strategy .

    Mongols will be in the game??

    I changed my mind and went with France, to be at center of action (I would have gone with Venice-Genoa otherwise), although I wanted to try the turks.

    Right this is the situation:
    Block 1: England-Scotland- Emproment (time?)
    Block 2: Norway-Denmark - Gaius Octavianus
    Block 3: HRE-Poland - Tonno
    Block 4: France-Aragon
    Block 5: Portugal-Castille (and Aragon if player block 4 chooses France) :
    Block 6: Moors-Sicily
    Block 7: Venice-Genoa : Core7-inside
    Block 8: Hungary -ERE : Lord Luka
    Block 9: TO-Lihuania (and whatever is not chosen between Novgorod and Kiev). Vipman
    Block 10:Koj- Fatmids - dur3x
    Block 11: Turks (& Byzantines if player block 8 chooses Hungary,& Koj-Egypt if player block 10 chooses Egypt/Koj) : Sonnet
    Block 12: Novgorod-Kiev : Makrell
    Block 13: Mongols- Kwarezm

    But remember you can choose whatever faction you like. In case more than one player wants the same faction we will issue a drawing and the loser will get whatever is left. We're sure 12. I need to check if we can be 13.

    Right now you,Jiub and Auran still have to decide. I'll check if there's someone else who's gonna join.
    Mongols-Kwarezm-Cumans option will become available only if we become 13 players.
    Possible 13th player would be Ebs if he confirms he read the 1st post and its availability to play on a determined time twice a week. The Knight of the River also gave his availability but only if needed.
    Themzr wanted to join, but only if the HS woudl have started in 5 weeks from now.

    Block 12 is good.

    I can play weekdays 18-20 gmt, but this will indeed change after school restarts in a few months.

    France has a cool unit roaster, but it's in the middle of the map (not as HRE and northern italy, but still).
    But I'll revert to the turks. It's not really an issue.

    Yea alive and kickin' like that saying :P

    Finished school and went to next level, the conservatory


    I don't have a problem with invicta taking any faction. It will be the fault of the rest of the players if they let him become a superpower, as is my view about anyone else.

    I wanted to take Venice.
    But Core7-inside anticipated me.

    Modifications are not sure, it'll depend on player choice and more importantly how players will fit in the schedule.
    So lets say I take turks, chosing factions like Byzantines or koj will only be possible if player of those blocks are right before or after my time slot.
    It's a possibility to offer players more choices since we don't know exactly how the map will turn out (imagine for instance Genoa and Venice gets annihilated or close to destruction, leaving the possibility to the player to choose the Sicily would be nice)

    I'll take Moors-Sicily, although I don't fancy them.


    Right this is the situation:
    Block 1: England-Scotland- Emproment (time?)
    Block 2: Norway-Denmark - Gaius Octavianus
    Block 3: HRE-Poland - Tonno
    Block 4: France-Aragon Jiub
    Block 5: Portugal-Castille (and Aragon if player block 4 chooses France) :
    Block 6: Moors-Sicily Sonnet
    Block 7: Venice-Genoa : Core7-inside
    Block 8: Hungary -ERE : Lord Luka [16:00- 20:00 time in London, 17:00-21:00 time in Berlin/Rome/Paris Wednesday-Saturday]
    Block 9: TO-Lihuania (and whatever is not chosen between Novgorod and Kiev). Vipman
    Block 10:Koj- Fatmids - dur3x
    Block 11: Turks (& Byzantines if player block 8 chooses Hungary,& Koj-Egypt if player block 10 chooses Egypt/Koj) :
    Block 12: Novgorod-Kiev : Makrell
    Block 13: Mongols- Kwarezm
