The Will of the Senate PBM - out of character thread IV

Waiting until Christmas is fine by me, that gives everybody some time and we can wrap this up in a well deserved, respectable manner.

Just as a further note on the M2 idea..what would everybody think of playing the HRE? Players taking on the role of an electoral Duke, rather than a senator, and appointing the Emperor for a time, rather than the consul. Just an option.

Yes, HRE would be fine by me. Great units and an exciting central location. The elected nature of the HRE Emperor fits a Will of the Senate style game perfectly. It may be good we are waiting for Christmas - HRE were hard in MTW and we may need some solo practice beforehand to avoid getting whupped.

This is true, but getting whupped early could always be interesting too, it'd force us to really fight hard and work strong together early on to survive. I'm personally looking forward to giving the French a good beating.

We could also go for something different this time, an eastern faction for example. Like the Turks.

That way we have to fight off the Timurids and the Mongols when they appear, plus I don't seem to remember us ever starting a PBM with an eastern (muslim) faction.

Or go for the real challenge, Poland. The szlachta (nobility) of Poland were all equal to each other, no man regarded as being higher than any other, and the king was elected (although this part was moreso in idealogy than actual practice, although it did occur) from amongst the szlachta to be "first among equals".

That way we've got a semi-eastern semi-western faction with a fairly difficult starting situation.

EDIT - Waiting on Braden for a battle return.

Just to say that HRE died early in my first English game - and apparently in Monarch's. The killer seems to have been the Danes. So it does look like we thought that HRE are going to be a challenging faction - which is good.

Guys, a quick question: If I were to uninstall BI, it wouldn't automatically uninstall Rome, right ?

Not too long ago I uninstalled MTW VI, and it also uninstalled MTW in the process.

Ok, just to let everyone know that i have the save file but the Uploader doesnt appear to be working (either that or my net connection is timing out).

I'll upload it from work tomorrow morning

What a pain
