Anyone wants to commit to a PBM campaign again?

If I dont change the preference.txt and load a game from an altered one, that doesnt matter, does it? Cause I like the reinforcements being delayed.

I just looked at the preference.txt and only the "unit size" can't can't be changed in-game there.

I don't think it will change because there's no option within the game for the unlimited men. But just in case, the preference.txt file of your RTW folder:

UNLIMITED_MEN_ON_BATTLEFIELD:TRUE

Just change TRUE to FALSE so you and the AI will have delayed reinforcements, then save.

Hi everyone

Just a quick question. Am I right in thinking that your reign ends if either your leader dies or you take 5 provinces?

Cheers

You reign ends when your faction leader dies.

Not sure about the 5-province limit though.

Hi Tricky Lady

It is the reply from Quietus on 13th that makes me think you can pass your reign over after taking 5 settlements.

**Tricky Lady** · 03-16-2005, 17:41

Aha, I see. After carefull re-reading I notice that Quietus' post can indeed be interpreted like that.

I personally favour more a dynasty-like PBM, so that every player plays one faction leader (will be good for the write-ups too I guess).

Perhaps we should consider increasing the # of provinces that can be taken per player from 5 to 10 perhaps?

Any suggestions or comments?

Hi again Tricky Lady

I'm happy with taking 5 provinces per reign and completing the reign. In our Seleucid PBEM I took my 5 provinces too quickly and then sat twiddling my thumbs while my ruler refused to die. Maybe I should space out my conquests a little?

You set up this PBEM so I will resign myself to your decision
