RTW MP Campaign - The game has begun!

[shifty157]

Whatever mod/version should be decided first. This makes a huge difference in the factions available as well as the general strategic climate. RTR for example includes Bactria as a faction. As well RTR is much more difficult to expand etc. So i think the version should be decided first.

After the verison is decided i think that factions should be handed out randomly to avoid any kind of resentment from people not being able to get their favorite faction while everyone else did. Also this prevents people who have completely specialized in a particular faction and know exactly what moves to make from overwhelming those of us who havent played in a bit. I myself have not played extensively in several months. Frankly i just think random factions would be more fair and more interesting.

And with id just like to say that im definitly in.

email shifty@verizon.net
i dont have any mods installed at the moment although rtr is nice.
as for faction if we play rtr then ill take bactria. otherwise id like Carthage.



Another question though. What about rebels? How are they handled?

Also i think that diplomats in game should be banned. Diplomacy through email should be completely allowed.

.

What about the trade rights?

[Myrddraal]

rebels and the senate are handled by the AI

[The Stranger]

i think we should play 1.2 vanilla

[Duke Malcolm]

Excellent Idea

[shifty157]

I agree. Let's keep it simple the first time.

[General_Sun]

I'm still testing whether or not it works on various versions, but I think 1.3 might be simpler if it does work on 1.3

Finally MP campaign!

A big thanks to Myddraal who managed to work this one out : )

This is excellent!

I read the stratcentre post a few days ago however couldn't find a link anywhere to download it :(

Could we have a subforum for organising matches and maybe posting results when it's all up and running?

Thanks for your time guys.

we should play 1.2 (not everyone has BI/1.3, but everyone has 1.2) but with bug-fixermod thats better...there are some reall gameruining bugs...like the scarface and stuff...

and how bout the load save bug...

Since 1.3 is FREE to download and FIXES the load/save bug I dont see ant reason to not use it.
What the main concern is: the Balance since some states (romans/egypt) are severly overpowered.
Also we could negotiate through chat for the diplomatic part.

[cunobelinus]

na play 1.3 it is installed on peoples that have BI

[shifty157]

Id prefer 1.2 but ill install 1.3 if i have to.

Also the roman thing shouldnt be too bad as technically the roman players arent allied. They can attack eachother if they want. Although the senate will cause a problem.

I wonder if someone could just make up a quick small mod unifying rome and perhaps evening the playing field a bit.

Good Afternoon good sirs,

Allow me to introduce myself, I am Lord Xelous, or the lordz, www.thelordz.co.uk, I have had a message in the back of the boards from Lord Fisbourne, asking me to look into your troubles.

To the OP, if you wish to discuss a tool to exchange files please contact me on the lordz forums via PM, and I will look into it. I have limited time however, but something might be knocked up, maybe not via e-mail, but possibly a central file transfer (a little like peer-to-peer), but for just these RTW save files.

I will again read this post in full later, but until then, LFB has put me on your case, please get in touch and I will discuss your ideas.

Regards

Lord Xelous

I Would Like To Be Britania!!!!!!!

I Would Like To Be Britania!!!!!!!

I'm afraid in the current setup all factons are already spoken for.
Even more so since I already play Britannia !

[Mooks]

Im definately in, id take Iberia if its still open, or armenia either one is good.

Email is holybandit267@yahoo.com, maybe the game could be next saturday night? Or next week or something...Imagining this game would take a long long time.

[Mooks]

Crap, didnt realize this thread had 11 pages. The forum is not allowing me to delete my earlier post. I just read another thread saying there was 5 countrys open for the game..So i came here and posted.

[WhiteProphecy]

i'm sorry, i cant do the armenia campaign because i dont have AIM, MSN or any messenger, sorry everyone.

[Bonny]

Are we going to use messangers to to transfer the savegame files? imo it would make it alot easier than with email, do we need a special one?
@ WhiteProphecy
afaik it is not a problem downloading such a messenger...

cant wait to start

[Bleda]

Is there a way that I might be able to download the MP program and just play a LAN mp campaign game with my buddy? with no tricky servers or bunches of people to add to my confusion

[Tyrac]

Here is the link to Krek's regularly updated player list. ( I know it pains me to look it up all the time so I put the link here for ease of use for a bit.)
