Out of character thread II

I'll post my mid-term report soon.

Please upload the latest savegame too.

[Ignoramus]

Certainly. I'll do it right away. Oh and I'll pm you about something, econ.

[Ituralde]

Another mid-term already. This one will be interesting.

I have a question that is not without personal involvement. I have been wondering if it was possible to appoint a stand-in general for battlest that could be fought with your own avatar?
The reason I'm asking is the fact that I'll probably go skiing next week, so I wont be there for like 5-6 days and I would hate to have all battles involving Leopold autocalced. Especially those, where he has to defend Vienna, which would surely loose us the city. So I'd be more happy if I could appoint another player from the House of Austria to fight those battles in my absence.

Just let me know what you think about it.

Generally, we avoided doing this during Wots. However, given that there is a queue of Austrian Electors without avatars, I'd be happy for one of them to substitute for you. AussieGiant - has your PC arrived?

[Kagemusha]

Can someone link me with the latest savegame?

[TinCow]

Apologies, but I am very busy today and tomorrow and will not have time to update the Library until Saturday at the earliest.

I'm assuming it is this one:

http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/kotr1130.zip

(PS: It's a good idea to browse the uploader - I always sort by "Last modified" and download the latest kotr file if I am curious about the state of the game.)

I'm still puzzeled as to what I am suppose to be doing, if someone could greatly help me out. I understand where we the Riech stand right now, but Im not sure on Edicts, I have read I second Edit etc etc. How do I know what all these Edicts are, and...

Edicts only last between Diets (10 turns), so forget about past ones. All you need to focus on are the new Edicts (numbered 4.x) being proposed in the Diet deliberations thread. Each edict needs two seconders to be put to the vote; say "I second Edict 4.x" if you support it and it does not have two seconders. You are free to propose new edicts and to argue for or against other people's edicts. All this should be done in the Diet deliberations thread.

I dont mean to whine, but it is really confusing to know what sections in the forum I am to be reading, There all mixed up with the MTW2 and RTW boards etc etc

Our threads have the prefix kotr PBM. The key ones are this one and the Diet deliberations. The Chancellor's reports thread keeps you up to date (and is where you post your build queues when you get a settlement to run). The battle reports thread also should be informative. You can write stories in the stories thread. The stickied library tells you who is who, what settlements we control and what edicts are current - but it is only updated every Diet session.

Ahh, Thank you.

So shall I start posting then? Or do I have to wait untill I get my own general etc.

[GeneralHankerchief]

No, please start posting now. Many active participants such as Kagemusha and AussieGiant don't have avatars yet but they still contribute greatly.

[ArchdukeEvan]

ah so obviously im new here... ect.ect.

but i saw an "advert" in the other Blacker Forum...

and i was wondering if this was still open

if so i would prefer to be in Austria... but idc if another
is chosen for me :)... but still...

ty and i just went and read through most of the serious
stuff... i like it alot...

PS. the smilys are so much cooler here... lol

[ArchdukeEvan]

och... thank you :)

ill start asap... though i belvie there are some
conflicts with schooling here... its no matter

yay Austria!

[TinCow]

I will have a short time this evening (EST) to update the Library. I will try to get the general map sections updated at that time, with the avatar updates done tomorrow morning.

Also, welcome to all the new people! It's great to see some new blood both in KOTR and the Throne Room in general.

You bet your sweat fanny adams Econ!!!

It's sitting right at my feet in the office. I'm taking it home tonight for the first boot up festival.

Actually the timing could be more perfect. I'm at a largish LAN weekend from Friday to Sunday. I'll be at home with a fully operational Death Star starting next week when Ituralde looks like going for a ski.

I'll be rusty having not played since December but I can sit behind some walls and crack a few Venitian skulls.

By the way, maps of the current situation would still be very helpful. When people are not at home they allow you to still look at things and stay involved.

Can someone please put some up?

[Bizzair]

Gah!
