Hopefully it will bring more people to the Throne Room in general. Next month, in addition to the game updates, I'm going to include a short article on how to start a successful PBM.
I just tested the totalwar.org upload facility on whether TosaInu fixed it and it seems so.
As such, I uploaded my fix onto the totalwar pbm filespace:

If Guida is actually represented in the game by an agent (that is, you can move her around and such) we might want to make better use of her. While some people are waiting for avatars and this is a quick fix, perhaps we should send her to Sicily to solidify our alliance.
-edit- Actually, it's still my decision whether she marries or not. Interesting.
I'm going to think about this for a bit before answering.

So, did you guys get a new princess? or just an eligible noble woman to be married off? Shouldn't Hummel become loyal once he marries into the nobility if that is a princess?
She is an agent with a Charm rating of 2 and she's currently in Vienna.
I wasn't sure who has the last say on the matter, but presumed it was Henry as her father.
Either way just let me know what to do with good old Ulrich.![]()

From an OOC perspective, I'd say reject Ulrich. He isn't a too useful family member to keep around with almost no traits (proven commander is fine, but it also means he most likely will be stuck at 3rd level as it takes a lot of battles to get to 4th)
Would also be good to kind of train the princess up a bit. Some diplomacy will get her the GoodPrincess line of traits, TolerantWoman and possibility of a few decent ancillaries.
What are her current traits btw?

GH had the final say over who the last Princess married because she was Heinrich's daughter; I don't see that perogative naturally extends to daughters of Henry. Maybe we should institutionalise this: to avoid the game getting bogged down, Chancellors can decide marriage proposals. However, where a Princess is involved (a rather rare event), the Chancellor should consult the relevant father (assuming we can save a game mid-proposal, which apparently we can).
I am inclined to accept the marriage proposal - we do need avatars and I had promised Ignoramus he could roleplay Guda's husband.
So is Ignoramus getting the avatar?

I don't know - he missed the last Diet; I've sent him a PM asking him to post in this thread if he is interested.Originally Posted by Xdeathfire
With both Ignoramus/Guda and factionheir/Hans, I've agreed to player requests for prospective avatars. I realise this might look like they are queue-jumping over you, Xdeathfire. Maybe I should not have accepted, but I thought it was good for players to identify with a role.
Remember you posted:
Conrad Salier is still unclaimed, so if you want to reconsider switching from Swabia to Bavaria, I would be happy to allocate him to you. You can make your decision contingent on Ignoramus's, although I suspect he will still want Guda's husband (as you know, he's invested a lot in the Swabian side of the PBM, which is one reason I agreed to his request for Guda's husband after Sigismund died.)I do want an avatar, but I'll stick to House of Swabia instead of switching and just wait for mine.
All I did was look at the Charter.
So far, the wording (love it, btwFourth, Emperors decide which player-controlled avatar, if any, a Princess should marry.) only says that I get to decide all princesses that show up as agents. Still unsure, but I'm leaning towards yes since she's too far away from Italy or the west.

yeah, and he does become more loyal after the marriage IIRC.

Yes and he also gets the wife lacks charm trait as she only has 2 :p
GH better decide fast (on princess and pope) as he might die any turn now

Well, Swabia's going to be threatened anyway, so better to have an extra Swabian. Let's proceed with the wedding.
As for the Pope, he hasn't reconciled us but he hasn't besieged Rome either. That's a plus. Let's keep him, he's going to die very shortly anyway.

I am still in this PBM. And, yes, I would like Ulrich, thank you. I admit that it has been difficult putting the same effort into the PBM when you don't have an avatar, so I now intend to make sure Ulrich plays his role in this PBM.

The complete opposite of Sigismund actually.

A mission to London would certainly be interesting game-wise. Appollonia, anyone?

Well, if they have Billmen and Longbowmen it would be nasty. What the English are doing in Norway is beyond me, but it does give them a nice outpost for attacking Saxony.

with regards to the english force near hamburg and the edict/Charter question, I was thinking of something along the lines of we can attack them in our territiry, but we can only take a settlement is they attack us first? I think that threads the loophole nicely.
Fredericus Erlach, Overseer of Genoa, Count of Ajaccio in exile, 4th elector of Bavaria.
Ah, I see what you're getting at. We can declare war if they're trespassing, but by doing that do we violate the language of edict E1.7 and forfeit taking an English territory?
Edict E1.7: . . .Additionally, should the HRE be attacked by any nations it is not at war with at the time of the attack, one (1) settlement may be annexed from that nation of the Chancellor's choice.
Well, I guess it comes down to how you define attack. If the English are trespassing with hostile intent, I would consider that an attack. If there is a gray area, it is the Emperor's duty to rule on it. Given Heinrich's bellicose nature. . . Still, given our strategic situation, the importance of taking an English territory is debatable.

Nottingham would make a nice outpost as its likely a fortress or citadel by now and leaves the English with only Caernarvorn as their last castle on the island and Caen in French territory.
It's unlikely they have anything more than normal longbows by now and billmen are bugged so yeah.

Ituralde:
May I suggest that you post more screenshots of the sessions? I kind of hate to go through the saves to figure out everything :)
Like basically post screens of pre battle engagements, important events (metz bribed, assassination, new family members born, diplomacy events), and new characters (didn't see Guda's card).

Nothing personal about Ulrich's outburst, GH, but he is actively disloyal. Besides, I have to avenge myself on your actions in RoC.

There's the money we gave France at work.I am intrigued by the arrival of the English. In all the other games I've played, their presence on the Continent isn't quite as pronounced. Not to mention that Portugal is clearly smoking crack. Let's give it up for the AI though, it knows when to pile on.
Well, we wanted a more challenging game, and we got it.![]()
Oh, while I'm posting, good work on the Gahzette TC and GH. I had forgotten about Castles, but it was a favorite of mine. I now remember oppressing those unappreciative Welsh and dealing with whiny nobles.
