Actually, I'm a little confused about that. . .Originally Posted by Ignoramus
This is what it says in the FAQ:
"An avatar who wins five major battles (each against 7+ enemy units) is promoted to Field Marshall."
This is what it says in the Table notes on top of the Chancellor reports thread:
"[3] Victory = number of major victories won under his command (vs 10+ enemy units)"
Which one is accurate? This might effect Ignoramus as well, how many Milanese units were there at the defense of Bern? Shouldn't Ignoramus be an Army Commander too?

There were only 6 at Bern when I sallied.
Anyway, Sigismund's in a bit of trouble ATM. He's fighting outnumbered 8 to 1 in the Alps. Not good. However, he has an excellent defensive position.
Wish me luck - I'm going to need a lot of it.

Good luck.
Edit: (referring to next post) Quick on the draw as usual econ, thanks.

Let's go with the FAQ; I'll change the table - yes, Sigismund is an army commander.Originally Posted by OverKnight

Who are you fighting Ignoramus?
I fought a Milanese general named Manno Galli. Econ knows the result, but I won't tell you. Oh, and there'll be a Chancellor report up shortly.

I think you can let the cat out of the bag, Ignoramus. The Alps are pretty inaccessible places to fight, so the outcome is not so silly. I have to go incommunicado for the next 8 hours, so good luck with everything!
Ok, I accidently deployed in an inaccessable position, and the Milanese couldn't attack me. As a result, a gained a major victory over the Milanese.

The spoiler for why you want an Emergency session is empty - I assume it's because of the crusade?
Only the Emperor or Prinz can call an emergency session - GH may disagree, but I don't think we need one. We don't have the boats to crusade to Tunis so the question is academic. Plus I doubt people would want us to attack our ally while we are busy in another war. I say just play on.

Ok, I guess I get to use my "discretion" here. Oh the perks of being Chancellor.

Hi Ignoramus,
I can't see two picture in the chancellor report.
The attack in the Alps by Manno Galli and the most important event that has taken place is from the Pope.
Do you know what could be the problem?
I agree with econ, going on crusade against Tunis would violate our edict telling us to keep our alliance with Sicily.

OverKnight, you have a battle against Milan. I'm uploading the save game now. It's kotr1122.

Barring any unforseen circumstances I should be able to get cracking on it now.
Edit: I have downloaded the save, it loads fine. I'm going offline to play it. Might take me a bit since I'm still not used to taking screenies while fighting.

Excellent. Seems I need to take my work Laptop home for the weekend.
I have decided I loathe Genoese crossbowmen. Missile troops should go squish when you hit them with cavalry and not fight like rabid Spartans.

I've updated the Table with our influence, activity and stats. I need to hear confirmation about the possible appointment of Dutch_guy and Overknight as Counts.
Also, how are we treating Stewards in terms of influence: +2 like a Duke or +1 like a Count? I'm working on the latter assumption and have also put down FLYdude as the Steward as Franconia.
I have taken DMu off the list; there are some other pretty inactive players who probably should come off too. We may need more players - 10 votes cast this session was rather low - but I will hold recruitment until every active player has an avatar.
PS: For future reference, please can you avoid png format images in the battle report thread, please, Ignoramus? I think they are much larger than jpg format and take for ages to load.

Thanks for the update. DMu has written me two PMs over the last weeks excusing his absence. Since no further participation has been coming from him I'm ok with you taking him off. It's not like he can't join again anytime and the post of Third Elector of Austria is vacant anyhow.
You missed to update AussieGiants activity though, as he has participated in the last voting. I would not be opposed to have at least one more player for the House of Austria. I can't even get my own Edicts passed.![]()
Of course not having an avatar might not be incentive enough to join the game, so I'm fine if we wait a little.

I can switch houses if necessary. In Swabia we have five of us and as im the fifth,if you guys think that would help balance the factions,i can kill my old character and move houses.
Ja Mata Tosainu Sama.
To be honest I have thought of that possibilty after looking at the overview table, but then I had my doubts. Warluster and Grande Orso have not been that active lately and more importantly I have come to know and like you as one of the adversaries of the House of Austria and you make up a considerate part of the way I see the House of Swabia within the game. I wouldn't find it appropriate to have you suddenly switch sides, in my mind.
Still I'm thankful for your offer and when Warluster and Grande Orso become more active and no Third Elector turns up for Austria, I would be honoured if you still wanted to switch House.

Yep, we definitely need to recruit.
Econ, you're the nearly the most organised guy I know at writing posts. Thanks for all the update work.
Good job OverKnight!!

Due to a bout of insomnia, my battle report is up early.
Edit: I'll take Innsbruck as my county, it's familiar and doesn't sound like it's lunch meat.

Oh, and OverKnight and econ21, you are Army Commanders now. I did post this in my Chancellor report, but I thought you might not see it.
Edit: I have no idea, AussieGiant. I don't know if econ knows what the problem is. I'm not the best at putting up screenshots, unfortunately.

20 pages is long enough for a thread and with a new Chancellor now is as good a time as any to start a new one. Let's continue this here:
