KotR Out of character thread VI

[Stuperman]

With Durazzo as an offer, peace with Venice might actually be possible.

How long have we been at war with them? (since Hienrich's riegn? or has there been peace with them since?)


@ FH or AG were you going to leave any military buildings standing>?

[FactionHeir]

Hmmm maybe the pope will like a small outpost
If both econ and you agree, I'll use it in negotiations, although its value is now much depreciated due to the extermination (settlement value in negotiations are equal to its population and income)

What TC said was pretty much what I had planned, in terms of hutning down the Hungarians, so there shouldn't be any probs with your new orders.

Stuperman: I wouldn't see why Durazzo should be razed.

[AussieGiant]

I'm not fussed.

It's a nightmare province in the game right now and I'm stretched enough without it.

If a friendly neighbour can be arranged then I can concentrate on the Hungarians in the future (which is my plan).

Please go ahead and bargain.

[FactionHeir]

There is no such thing as a friendly neighbor except if its the pope and you are a good christian :)

I know, but the Pope is an option. There are other neighbours that are not inclined to attack isn't there?

[FactionHeir]

According to the scripts, only the pope won't ever backstab or attack you if you are neutral/allied.
Any other faction including trusted allies (which we cannot have with our bad global rep) have at best a 90% chance of holding the alliance.
Oh, and vassals are totally peaceful too, but I doubt we'll see one for at least 2 more chancellorships.

FH....I've said you're a genius when it come to this game...but you know too much for your own good

So hell give it to the pope as part of the deal in the East. See if he can say no to that!!

[TinCow]

Since it's a newly conquered and unassigned land, you'll have to get the Kaiser's permission to dispose of it. Personally, I would prefer that it not be given to the Pope. I like him being limited to the East and it will just cause more problems if Austria ever decides to expand south again.

[Stuperman]

@TC Agreed

[Ituralde]

Yeah I've noticed a rise of Build orders threads for newly conquered settlements in the Chancellor's Report threat. Some people seem to forget that the city they just conquered still has to be given to their house in the end.

Oh and concerning the battle against the Mongols. I don't really plan on getting killed in that battle, but facing a Mongol army three times my size may well spell disaster in the end. I can take the responsibility for Leopold dying but I don't want anyone to be mad at me if I get his character killed. That's why I would feel better if no other avatars came along. Less to worry about.

[FactionHeir]

Erm small problem AG. When Sigismund joins your stack he becomes commander due to higher command rating. I guess I'll have to split him before the knighting battle.

But Fredericus must go. Don't worry about him too much. He hasn't been in many battles, but I have never paid a great deal of attention to his safety. The bastard still survived, and I imagine picked up the "Courageous" trait from the ordeal. Which, in-character, is also the reason he must go. Read the description of the trait. He is not staying behind! I really don't mind if he gets killed, as long as your writeup makes it sound glorious. Feel free to use him as ordinary cavalry, I always have.

[FactionHeir]

I have left you in Leopold's stack.

[gibsonsg91921]

gosh dangit! just when i get a general avatar he dies

[OverKnight]

That indeed sucks gibsonsg91921, a small consolation is that there are other avatars available. However, none are in Austria at the moment. Perhaps you should consider Franconia, Swabia or Bavaria? If you're looking for immediate action, Franconia and Swabia would be better bets at this point.

[FactionHeir]

Alright guys. Two battles coming up, non crusade related.

1: FlyDudeDutch_guy gets to fight 2 Polish crossbowmen blocking his way (he may autoresolve if he wishes or have me fight it)
2: TinCow assaults Zagreb

If Xdeathfire wants, he may attack the French near Paris but that is not imperative.

48 hours deadline in total for both battles. Please post/PM if you are fighting.

1: FlyDude gets to fight 2 Polish crossbowmen blocking his way (he may autoresolve if he wishes or have me fight it)

I thought you said FLYdude was in Leopold's stack? Has Dusan Kolar sent the Mongols some Polish crossbowmen to help them out?

[FactionHeir]

Errrr I mean Dutch_guy SORRY :)

Currently in process of uploading kotr1228-2

[gibsonsg91921]

ill go with franconia cuz thats where ehrhart used to live before i got him.
who's available there?

[FactionHeir]

A lot of von Kastilien.
Check the C&G first page.
Also not listed there (I think) is Siegfried von Kastilien, a new avatar (check last page for that)

[StoneCold]

Econ, so Henry survived?

[gibsonsg91921]

i guess ill go with fritz von kastilien, the next oldest son after ansehelm

[FactionHeir]

Alright gibson, Fritz is currently umm good question, where was he....I think he's in Italy garrisoning Florence...or was it Bologna. Somewhere there :p

StoneCold: You'll find out in a bit once econ finishes writing ;)

[gibsonsg91921]

cool - but isnt he from franconia? whats he doing in bavaria lol
idc i love italy

[FactionHeir]

He was besieged until last turn inside Florence. Where do you want him?

[StoneCold]

Also due to the same stupid game mechanics that allow your previous avatar to be spawn in the capital. Else you avatar would probably have spawn in the same stack as Jonas when he came of age and probably wouldn't have died a gruesome death... :P

Damn... cliffhanger... come on, at least show the results? :P

[TinCow]

We have friends over for dinner tonight, so I doubt I'll be able to fight my battle until tomorrow night. So, Dutch_guy, feel free to take the save.

[FactionHeir]

You could get your friends hooked on PBM :D

[gibsonsg91921]

i guess ill put him whereever works best for the reich

[gibsonsg91921]

actually can i take peter von kastilien? im looking at the traits and his seem more desirable.
