if the odds are considerably in TC's favor i say autoresolve that biatch
otherwise, hold off.

I've figured out a better solution, see the Diet. I get to command my own fate and the law isn't broken.

In the same vein, Lothar could get his 6 units to command, and the other units in any prospective battle, the garrison and the rest of the BHA, could come in as reinforcements under AI command (IC the seperate commands of minor nobles). This way we have Lothar leading his portion of the battle legally, while still not having overall command.

Edit: Just imagine Lothar cursing the stupidity of the other Imperial commanders while bailing them out and seething about why, WHY didn't they give him overall command.

[StoneCold]

Good way round the rule TC. and will make for a great battle and definitely a Knighthood. :)

[TinCow]

Yes, the garrison as reinforcements under the AI is totally legit. What's in the garrison, btw?

[gibsonsg91921]

genius TC

[OverKnight]

The Garrison is 5 units total:

Merchant Cavalry
Armoured Sergeants
Spear Militia
Town Militia x 2

Due to the discovery of a major bug in CA's trait hardcode recently in the buglist, I have updated the fixes to version 1.25a. The only difference from 1.25 is that I disabled all NoGoingBackLevels for traits.

I just hope it gets sorted out

Once I'm knighted then Kag will be free to take those Franconian's nobles that are not part of Austria back up north.

I can then knight those that need to be using the AHA.

Then as econ suggests and something I realised previously (one of the reason's I voted for it) I will split the AHA in two and re-deploy with some of the knew knights.

Should I write this in the Diet FH or is this enough?

If I do, then Arnold's going to go banana's with all this bureaucracy

fix 125a installed!!

[FactionHeir]

You probably won't need to repost it. I was planning on splitting them anyway to cover south and east separately. Just need more knights for that.

[FactionHeir]

Hmmmm I just read the paragraph on household armies and noticed that contrary to popular belief, house armies actually are allowed to take more than 1 settlement per diet. It specifies in order 5 only the hostile action and that a settlement may be chosen as long as it borders the house and the empire is at war with the faction. Thus the SHA would be allowed to keep rolling through French territory in accordance to Xdeathfire's orders?

[Dutch_guy]

Hey guys, just a quick post to notify you all that I'll be fighting my battle some time today - probably around eight [20 00], as I've got some school work I really should be doing until then.

I think the point FH was to prevent this type of thing happening. Even though you found another loop hole, it is a stated fact that HA are meant to defend and not go rampaging through foreign lands not matter what highly paid legal eagle has found. :)

If people want me to find loop holes then there are a tonne, and we don't want to go in that direction do we?

[gibsonsg91921]

dang i wanted ehrhart to get knighted so i could do some battling!

o well theres bigger duties to do around prague, like sititng around scratching my butt

[Northnovas]

My city might fall?? Being away from home just logged on and reading the post without seeing the game is like being on a Crusade and getting dispatches from home and not knowing how it is going to workout!
Will the reinforcements arrive, who will lead???
I guess it's best this way because if I was there I wouldn't be capable to lead because I haven't been knighted and would be on the same frustration level of AG.

[FactionHeir]

Check one of the screens in my report Northnovas. You'll find the situation there.

[StoneCold]

FH, originally the house army commands are only to be given at the start of your term, so at most each duke could only specify one city to be taken in each diet.

[FactionHeir]

Yes, that is right StoneCold, but the orders I got from Scherer during the diet via PM were to take Paris and then go and capture nearby French settlements. Before we took Paris, we already bordered Bruges, Angers and Toulouse as well, so those would be legit targets.

Now where's our resident lawyer to help us clear up what this CA actually means Not like I really want to go capture every French settlement in sight, but I would have to, if its legal.

[StoneCold]

hmm... maybe... Still dubious about that. Maybe TC can gives us his excellent ruling on that bit of law. But you can following it and see where it goes. With the western border undefended as such, the SHA on the attack, and the BHA in the east helping Austria, EIA heading north to the Danish threat and FHA in the northeast against the Russian... if any towns falls in the west, you can blame it all on the the swabians... :P Remember we are still pumping 10K a turn into their economy, I hope you are still doing that, so a full stack or two could appear out of nowhere any turn.
