[Ramses II CP]

I use the shortcut per the kotrfix readme. I can post a screenshot of the data folder later today. I cleaned all that stuff out and reinstalled kotrfix when we had that previous problem with unit training, but since then I installed one of the BC 'fixes' to make siege equipment more readily available to maintain compatibility with the BC hotseat guys.

I don't know for sure that this little guy is specific to BC, so I'll post a screenshot of him too. It is not the western peasant graphic that AG described though, and I've seen it in BC as a placeholder.

I should be able to play the save tomorrow around noon (GMT+1) unless Econ wants to fight the sally at Angers or FH wants to fight it from outside the walls

I had this problem a while back because of Stainless Steel, the solution was to make KotR fix into its own mod and in a separate folder.

I might help in attacking from the outside.

Hmmm I just had a look at the save and the problem is not from your end Ramses, and your files are just fine.

What seems to be the problem is that econ messed up giving troops to the Hungarians. He seems to have given them "Dismounted Chivalric Knights" rather than "Dismounted E Chivalric Knights" as the eastern catholic factions have this extra letter in the unit variables.

It shouldn't be game breaking from what I can see (he made the same mistake in Outremer during the cataclysm with Turcopoles).

Angers has been relieved and Rennes is now held by Imperial troops my lords.
Our spies have done good work in opening the gates while the craven Lancelot de Bordeaux fled to the supposed safety of the city walls.

Given that the city was inhabited purely by Imperial turncoats and French heathens, the place has been ransacked to compensate for the loss of Imperial lives, to pay for the reparations of several of our cities and most importantly, to allow construction in Swabia. About 23,000 florins have entered our treasury this way and a further 6,000 from the destruction of a vile Coaching House and a Master Thieves Guild. The ransom of the French besieging Angers netted another 2,400 florins.

The city is ready to be handed to whomever the chancellor wishes, now that it has been purified.

That said, I wish that with the newly acquired funds, all ordered construction in Swabia and the Imperial province of Angers be performed and several of our city structures be repaired. Garrisons and armies are to be bolstered.

If the chancellor objects to my wishes, I would like to know before the end of the offensive season.

Congratulations gentlemen, now you are making real progress, this rapid expansion surpasses anything the Reich has done before. Swabia truly owns some of the greatest Generals of the World.

OOC: I'm glad it wasn't me. I hate not knowing what I'm doing.

IC: Spectacular news Count Ruppel! I am very pleased with the capture of Rennes, and as requested I will spend those captured florins in the Duchy of Swabia. I would be grateful if you could update your requests as far as construction, as I believe many of the previous requests have been met or are no longer possible, as at Dijon.

Once Bruges is under siege I believe I will be fair in declaring Swabia a success and under control, and next season I will shift my focus to another region. With Duke Arnold's impending offensive and the trouble around Vienna and Prague Austria makes a strong case for being next on the list.

I am well aware there are many difficult battles still remaining in Swabia and the great generals of the Duchy will not lack for funds, I assure you, but France has essentially been carved in twain and their economic bases have mostly been taken.

Has there been any discussion of who will take on what task among the Swabians? My instinct is to give Count Ruppel the majority of the available forces and eventually send him east, towards that army near Paris, while Hugo de Cervole rides south for Bordeaux, with the assistance of his spy ally, and Welf von Luxemburg takes some cavalry and rides hard to to collect reinforcements from Staufen and reclaim Dijon.

The turn around in Swabia has been nothing short of remarkable gentlemen, and you are all to be congratulated.

Oops, sorry about that. What I think will happen is that the knights will be annoyingly invisible on the battlefield. Hungarian ninja knights, I guess. I can create a fix for it if someone is going to do battle with them.

Just how invincible are you talking Econ?

There are a few of them in the various stacks in the Austrian front.
