Psst econ might lock it if you say that so loud!

StoneCold: You could still play just as a general without much debate. Someone who just fights and keeps mostly out of politics.

**gibsonsg91921** · 06-09-2007, 18:24

debatings the most fun part - planning ur arguments, rallying support, admitting that it was you who shot JFK

**StoneCold** · 06-09-2007, 18:25

Yes, we do alot of background disccusion here instead of in the diet I guess... :P

Btw, FH, if you are going to give up Sofia, where in God's name are you building a leather tanner there then, wasting resources... :P Regarding playing, I also don't have the game and a system that can play it, haha...

Ya, think econ might be locking this thread soon, over the 20 page limit now. :P

**FactionHeir** · 06-09-2007, 18:27

I didn't say we were giving up Sofia, did I? I mean I'm even training our very first regiment of Gothic knights there at the moment and it now has a swordsmith guild :D

[edit]
Besides, I have a bad feeling that the Byzantines might be backstabbing us soon after they take Thessalonica.

**StoneCold** · 06-09-2007, 18:30

Oh... I thought the plan was to give it up... :P now we just make the border longer... haha, oh well...

**Stig** · 06-09-2007, 18:33

Well we certainly should stop conquering now, otherwise we win this game to quickly ... unless there's an option to continue playing after taking 50 provinces.

**StoneCold** · 06-09-2007, 18:33

Btw, what happen to the french crusade? Is anyone or army moving up there to shadow it?

**gibsonsg91921** · 06-09-2007, 18:34

none of my old avatars died at sofia, so i dont care as much except that we have gothic knights and a swordsmiths guild. what a waste that would be lol

**StoneCold** · 06-09-2007, 18:36

With the pope, I am now wondering is that enough to trigger the expansionist pope... :P I guess that also depends on the character of the pope?

**gibsonsg91921** · 06-09-2007, 18:37

we should keep playing until we conquer the world!

**GeneralHankerchief** · 06-09-2007, 18:39

Yeah, but then it won't be fun. We need to be challenged for as long as we can.

I currently have a campaign going myself with Spain (and for my standards I'm doing pretty well). The pope has loads of Italy in that one, and is the strongest military power. He has Rome, Genoa, Florence, Bologna, Naples, Ajaccio and Cagliari.

Aye, that's why I suggest giving Paris to France and Sofia to the Byzantines.
For Paris I believe it was in no edict that it could be taken, sides we sorta killed France of by taking it.

**FactionHeir** · 06-09-2007, 18:44

The scripts force the pope not to attack factions that are catholic and non excommunicated. So they do get rather active if around excommed catholics.
And yes, there is an option to allow playing after winning. We are at ~32 settlements at the moment though, so still 13 off.
The French are being shadowed by an assassin and I got reinforcements coming from the west.

well we can make it harder on ourselves internally, with politcal strife. when the 4 houses get bigger we can establish new ones. new kingdoms like outremer, political parties, etc. thats what i go for whenever i gripe in the diet. timurids will be a pain, mongols are coming still, black death, america

we need more arguments. me and FH went on for 18 replies if u include GH's as well.
