Yeah, sorry about sending Otto, but I figured he could get the cav back to the 1st army the best. Also, it's a decent angle with the Bavarians fighting a battle before parting ways.
I'm grabbing the save.

Actually, I was more terrified for Max for a while.

Base this is Ghotrider...scratch two Jihad Muslim armies!!

Ghostrider this is Base...that's a negative...the tower is full.
LOL AG.
Since were using catch phrases. . .
I love it when a plan comes together.

Battle report up.
One thing I've found in my English AAR is that even though you fight endless battles, battles against full AI stacks are disappointingly rare and so should be savoured when you get the chance. Hence Henry's bellicose pushing that we attack both jihads.
I'm glad someone thought it was funny OK
Yes...the juggernaut continues to roll on towards glory and a whole lot of heathen harem's.
econ I'm seeing a few more full stacks in my second long campaign as the Scottish. I'm now halfway through (going a little fast for my taste, but I have certainly given the AI time to upgrade) it and I'm still stuck at 16 provinces.
I don't think I will ever "win" without some steam rolling at the start.

Hopefully we'll be able to take Jerusalem before too many of Mandorf's units desert. I think they still desert inside towns contrary to what the manual says. At least it used to happen to me.
Btw, I'm currently looking at the 1.02 traits/ancillaries and don't see any/many changes from the leaked version, so there won't be much in terms of changes for version 1.23. Mainly some reduced thresholds as I increased most bad trait tresholds to 2 (from 1) for the 1.1 game versions as otherwise good traits are immediately lost due to the anti trat bug which is fixed in 1.02 from what I hear (have yet to test though)
So yeah, for the time being continue using 1.22b (link on page 1 of this thread)

My battle report will be done tomorrow morning, EST.
Edit: Dutch_guy has decided to push off the assault on Breslau to next turn. Warluster's battle is the only one left.
I am mostly done with the save for this year. We still have one battle pending.
Warluster, you've got some rebel scum to kill.
First come, first serve. Just post in this thread if you grab the save and post a link to the new uploaded save once the battle is fought.
I am sending PMs to you two as well.

I'm probably gonna be out for around a week and a half guys since I got AP exams to take and gotta cram for them. If I have to fight any battles, I'll try to do it and get it to you guys as quickly as possible, but no promises so someone could fight it for me or you can auto.

Good luck on the exams, hope you get 5s.I wouldn't worry too much, we have to get Friedrich knighted before he can lead his own battles.
Thanks for the heads up.

Ditto with exams this week. I'm going to be a bit more inactive (more than I have been), sorry.
I'd also like to thank KotR for helping me out (indirectly) on the SATs. When I saw the essay question I couldn't help but laugh.

I am back from my trip.
I am downloading save soon, and will play the battle.
Okay, the battles done, am downloading the save as kotr1188-7
The battle was easy, I killed some 200 and captured some 190, easy battle, none left standing :)
Crush the rebel scum Warluster!! :)Originally Posted by Warluster
just in looking over the reich, we have 3 merchants guildes, what do they do? and would a different one be better in Genoa?
Fredericus Erlach, Overseer of Genoa, Count of Ajaccio in exile, 4th elector of Bavaria.
They increase trade returns and allow better merchants to be trained. At least in the newest KOTRfix version.

My battle report is up.

Econ, TC,
Excellent write ups. They made the battles seem far less crushing :)
I wish we had played with the 1.2 AI, as I suspect the Turks would have held their excellent defensive position with that patch. As you can see, I only killed 1/4 of their army and lost about 1/4 of my own. The rest was all captured after a chain rout. If they had held their lines and showered my approach with even more artillery fire, I suspect I would have lost at least 50% before breaking them.
R.I.P. Dietrich von Saxony.
Kagemusha, do you want to pick up Jonas as your new avatar?
I will still have to write the last wishes of old Dietrich,before letting him go.But Young Jonas could be an exellent choice.We cant leave him abandoned,now can we.![]()
Ja Mata Tosainu Sama.
That was a moving death scene for Dietrich, Kagemusha. I particularly liked the use of the "Lord is my shepherd".![]()
And an excellent battle report, TC. I felt I was riding there with you.
1190 is nearly complete,
We have three battles to be fought before the year can conclude, all forces have been positioned but have not engaged yet:
First, Breslau needs to be assaulted by Dutch_guy. The large Polish force under Captain Zygmunt will now not be part of the battle, they went a short distance north to assault some Rebels. Still, once Breslau is taken if Dutch_guy wants to attack them too, he may do so. In fact I would encourage it, since we need a clear path to Thorn in case the Russkies decide to attack us.
Second, FLYdude you've got some rebels to fight north of Magdeburg.
Third, Warluster, Prinz Jobst and Friedrich Scherer have some rebels to face southwest of Nuremburg. This would be a good opportunity to get Scherer knighted so he can become an independent operator. I apologize for the small force under your command, but I didn't want the Rebels to flee. They could hop back and forth across the river to the south for turns while I tried to bring them to earth.
Here's the save:
http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/kotr1190.zip
Same routine as before. First come, first serve, whoever gets the save let the others know and then provide a link to the new uploaded save so the next person in line can continue.
PM me, or post here if you have questions.
Good luck!![]()

Now Dietrich´s final will is up in the Imperial Diet,so think its time for me to transform to Jonas Von Mahren.I will miss that old warhorse.

The recent writing has been very good TC, econ and Kagemusha. I particularly enjoyed the contrast in styles between Henry and Max.

It might be worth holding off on the peace offers with other nations until you get 1.2 installed. The diplomatic AI seems far more rational in that patch and I think we would stand a much better chance of peace, especially with Milan, since we do not share a land border.
Understood.
direct2drive still does not have their version of the patch out. I will post when that happens.
So basically, everyone's set to upgrade, there's no problem, except the guy with the save has to wait.![]()
Chretien Saisset, Chevalier in the King of the Franks PBM
So can I download the save and play the battle?
