Once the excom threat is over I think the Swabian army is going to just go berserk in France either sacking or killing every city until another excom threat pops up. Due to the fact that the kaiser and chancellor is in the levant, maybe there could be some power struggle here going on.

Who's going to lead this "beserking" action?

You'll need someone appropriately nuts to do that?

Just a question.

The Swabian edict mentions one province being taken, unless the French send a 1000+ army over the border or a family member of some standing. Has that happened? Sorry I'm away from my PC so I can't see.

Hi gibsonsg91921,

As FactionHeir metions. The only stuff that is public are the Diet proceedings and the Chancellor reports.

Unless you have PM'd people IC then there is no way of you knowing what is going on. You can try and get yourself in the story but then you'd have to approach the players who are collaborating on the story.

You might want to edit your Diet post and change it.

I did amend it a little, with Maximillian's aide saying it is not a threat of impeachment, but rather a warning. Also, i said i was worried about the character of the Kaiser his association with Dusan Kolar, but never mentioned specific things that i would only know out of character.

just thought i'd mix things up, keep it interesting.

Just curious, I see the last save is 1202. Are we a little further ahead? I know there were some battles to be fought but with all the story development I didn't know where we stood time wise. Just thinking if any suitors coming up for the lovely Meckil.

[StoneCold]

btw, who is the 50 year old swabian? Is he the one Hans adopted?

[TevashSzat]

Well the excom threat is over and seeing as how there might be some argument and dissension in the middle east where many of the empire's top generals are, I might go take the Swabian army for a tour around France and start staking out what I like

[gibsonsg91921]

hey i think we should help our portuguese allies as a token of our good will in their war against the moors.

great way to spread catholicism and our influence to the east

Iberian Expeditionary Force!

I hate witches, 5 -command star (warts, cursed, and two about being sick) traits in 4-ish turns an and the inquisitor on Corsica hasen't wacked the witch yet.

The worst part is that Gerhard now has a net -moral effect on his men

I think the BHA needs a new commander. :(

Have you been reading the Chancellor's annual reports? The latest one is for 1210 1208 and has a savegame for the start of 1210 that people can inspect to see what's going on:

Have you been reading the Chancellor's annual reports? The latest one is for 1210. . .

Oops I put that Chancellor's report for 1208, I've made the change.

History should be up to date again. Of course this was easier to do when I was the prime mover.

My bad - the report is for 1208; the savegame for the start of 1210.

Ahh. . .I have repositioned the report at the end of 1208. Would this be the best placement?

Until recently, I thought GH's reign as emperor was the most eventful and fun time of this PBM, but with the stories that have been published in these few days, I think Henry's reign very much rivals that of GH. Excellent stories :)

[Northnovas]

I concur great storyline. I had a feeling that Henry was not truly yet immersed himself with the dark side.

Well, bear in mind it was GH who had the idea for the Heinrich seance and keeping Jerusalem from the Pope; the rest just improvised from there. GH has his idea long ago, hence my out of character allusion to his "cylon resurrection", a reference to something sinister that no one picked up on given the benign nature of Conrad Salier. I tried in character to stall the transfer of Jerusalem at the end of Overknight's reign so the story could take-off, but Otto and the crusaders did not buy it.

Really these Heinrich and Henry's reigns are rather like WW1 and WW2 - they could be regarded as just one long running event with a pause in middle.

PS: I've stolen your sig, GH: it's good advertising for this PBM.

Yes, I was looking at the other location where the saves were going and then realized I did download 1210 just didn't extract. Waiting in anticipation and forgetting they are 2 year turns. Also just reading the last story thread adds another distraction. I am waiting for the next plot twist more then looking for the next save. Another good read and cooperative story development.

[AussieGiant]

OK and Econ fantastic stuff!!

Apologies while I go and ready the thermonuclear warheads...I think I need to get a few warmed up...I can feel a couple a heatseeking posts coming up

Someone let me know when this deranged madness in the east is common knowledge. I'm getting some shiet organised to end this Kaiser virus that seems to be genetic!

Otto might have confided in people back home, just in case he did not come back from his meeting with Henry. But it would be mainly rumours and fears. All that people know is that Henry is besieging Jerusalem and has a pagan magician in his retinue.

Otto's meeting with Henry has not concluded yet.
