Alemanni PBM

we should indeed do Vh ( campaign ) and medium battles , otherwise we just give the AI all those rediculus bonusses, which just is just as fun as it is fair.

battle timer... don't know , don't mind either way.

Also the players should be required to make the necessary free time to play, or else the other players will suffer from that person's lack of discipline on the matter - not meaning you should get it done in a mere day or so.
PBM's should be played as fast as possible and should uploaded right when the player is finished.

Ok, large unit size, battle timer on, and VH/M. After all, we're looking for an interesting write-up, not to get our butts whooped in the challenge to end all challenges. The original post has been updated to reflect this and Zomby_Woof has been added to the list. Unless there are other issues to resolve, I think Simon can start whenever he wants.

OK, I've finished my ten years. The save game has been uploaded as Alemmani_273S.zip. The situation is fairly self-explanatory - we have taken 3 more provinces, but are still very much a fledgling kingdom, locked in a struggle with the WRE. The Vandals are quite nearby, but we have concluded an alliance with them.

TinCow, I've left you with a lot of freedom where to expand next but be careful - even on VH/M, the WRE has teeth and our economy is weak.

Write up to follow over the weekend.

I have a question about the write-ups. I understand that it's supposed to be an overview of the ten years that we're commanding the Alemanni, but do we post them in the forums or somewhere else?

**econ21** · 01-14-2006, 00:57

I'll start a dedicated thread in this forum to post write-ups. Here's the last one we did:

The only tricky thing may be posting screenshots. I only got black screens using the RTW screenshot function, so I use FRAPS instead. You should edit the pictures down to around 80% size and convert them to jpeg format, then find someway of hosting them (I believe the Org has such a facility, but I have not used it).

Also, last time we used the Bug-fixer patch

Will we be using that again this round ?

Um, good point - sorry, I forgot about that. I patched to 1.6 over a bug-fixed BI installation, so my game may be something of a hybrid. I suspect whether people use bug-fixer or not will not cause problems for savegames etc - it is a very minor mod that introduces no new content. Just make sure you are fully patched and then play with or without bug-fixer according to personal preference.

The Org does indeed have its own image space, but after uploading you have to wait until Monk or myself check the upload manager before the pictures are available. Imageshack uploads immediatly and automatically provides image-tags.
