King of the Romans OOC thread VII

[Kagemusha]

I cant fight any battles untill sunday evening.Im just about to leave for a rock festival for the weekend.Have a nice weekend guys!

[Warluster]

Can i fight my battle tomorrowish, or is that too late?

[econ21]

I'll make a nice story about the battle in some time.

Sounds good - could you post a placeholder in the battles thread? You can edit in your story later, but it is good to keep things chronological.

[Stig]

I'm working on my story now, as I'm going to my parents this weekend.

Thus I won't be able to fight any battles before sunday 20:00 GMT, maybe even monday afternoon.

[gibsonsg91921]

pretty soon i should be able to get my game fixed and i can fight my battles, just keep me traveling with gunther or ansehelm for now i guess

[econ21]

I've downloaded Stig's save and will fight my skirmish soon.

[econ21]

OK, this is the new save - I believe for Warluster and xdeathfire:

http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/kotr1238-3.zip

121 Imperials fought 337 rebels. We lost 16; they lost 308. I think the odds were 2:1 in our favour, I'll check.

Factionheir: I think this is your last turn as Chancellor? When you have done everything, please add money to the AI and then end-turn - managing any battles that arise. Also please deal with all the messages for the start of 1140. Some may require our action, but I don't trust messages and savegames, so you can still act as Chancellor to make any decisions that can't be avoided (e.g. accepting guilds; marriage and diplomatic offers etc).

I guess we are heading for a Diet session on Mondary or thereabouts. Who is going to stand for Chancellor? Getting plotting!

[TevashSzat]

I'm gonna fight the battle tomorrow afternoon since I don't have access to M2TW until then but since im besieged right now, I guess factionheir could just leave it as it is and then have me fight it some other turn

[econ21]

I looked at your army compared to the enemy's and it will not be an easy fight. You have numbers, but it is mainly militia and the AI have foot knights who excel at carving through militia. Maybe take a look at it tomorrow and decide what is best? I am not quite sure what has happened to the once great Army of Swabia.

[McIwoo]

from the Chancellor and governor reports:

Construction
Marseille City Hall (Chancellor's Choice)

When I specified brothel before City Hall in the building queue. I'm not too fussed as they're both usefull at this point in time and the Chancellor is good player...basically to say that I dun mean to say that I'm offended or anything...but can the chancellor do that or has he just missed my post on the building queue?

[econ21]

...but can the chancellor do that or has he just missed my post on the building queue?

Build queues should be posted before a Diet session ends, so maybe Factionheir is treating yours as optional? It's the kind of thing you would be justified in kicking up a fuss in character if you want. (Personally, I am a little sceptical of brothels - don't they give bad traits? We have a Master Thieves Guild somewhere, so might be better getting our spies from there.)

[McIwoo]

yeah for the ic fuss I thought about it but I wasn't sure if it wasn't actually allowed...I picked brothel before city hall because it's faster and marseille is in dire need of postive influence. I have no idea about the negative traits

so city hall is prolly the best idea...still I'm going to break hell in the chancellor's message box

[GeneralHankerchief]

I guess we are heading for a Diet session on Mondary or thereabouts.

Ugh - I'll be out Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Mind extending the voting for a day so I can get mine in? I really don't want to miss another session.

[gibsonsg91921]

who's gonna be chancellor?

[FactionHeir]

Probably better to ask that during the election :p
Besides Hans, no-one is standing at the moment, but then the diet session doesn't open till Monday most likely.

McIwoo: All build queues posted/sent after the start of a term are deemed entirely optional, and as such the chancellor is not obligated to fulfill them.
Generally, I look at the optional queues and see if anything useful is in there. If there is, I build it. If I see something else that is better, I choose that.

[gibsonsg91921]

:P i meant who was going to stand for chancellor

[Stig]

I believe Ignoramus wants to have another go at you


Wrote a little history of Ansehelm btw

[gibsonsg91921]

nice read stiggy

ignoramus is up again? nice
idk who ill vote for whoever has the best manifesto i guess

[Ignoramus]

Ulrich will run. However, as usual, I will be absent tomorrow. I just wanted everyone to know where I am.

[gibsonsg91921]

lets get more runners so its not last election the sequel

non-swabians? haha

[Stig]

Well I believe we have a problem here. We have loads of old characters, who are going to die in the following years.
And next to that there are many undeveloped characters, like your Peter and my Ansehelm, new kids on the block, and what we need are the characters who fit in the category between these two.

[gibsonsg91921]

well, excluding unassigned, the young characters include the young steffens, duke arnold, sigismund von mahren, us young kastiliens, elberhard. middle characters are like hans, conrad salier, gerhard steffen, ulrich hummel, etc. old is basically henry, gunther, and fredericus.

you should make a run stiggy

[flyd]

Oh, I have a feeling we won't have the last election, the sequel.

[gibsonsg91921]

interesting

[Stig]

you should make a run stiggy

Ansehelm needs more bagage first, he's still young ... maybe in some time.

[gibsonsg91921]

@stig - maybe so, but hes still gonna be duke someday and i think he holds pretty good influence

[econ21]

I'm not sure whether Factionheir has any other plans, but if not, it looks like the 48 hour deadline for battles expires about 19.00 Sunday (UK time). I think Warluster and Xdeathfire still have options to fight battles. They now have less than 24 hours to do so.

Ugh - I'll be out Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Mind extending the voting for a day so I can get mine in? I really don't want to miss another session.

If it is just a day, I'll extend it. But if we get going earlier (ie Sunday or Monday), it might be better for you to give me advance notice of any votes. It would be good if candidates could declare early, and any controversial edicts placed early, so GH can post his vote.

[FactionHeir]

Ahhh knackered after 2 long days/nights of O2 wireless ambulance duties.
Righto, will check diet post and see if there's anything interesting.

[FactionHeir]

As for the battles, people actually have merely 1 hour left to fight them, as the PMs were sent out 1:33 am on the 15th of June UK time. Its now 0:34 am UK time, the 17th of June.

When do you want to start the new diet session econ? In a few hours or Monday?

[gibsonsg91921]

lets start it in a few hours! woot w00t

update: my game and patch 1.2 are reinstalled, and im going to try the switch before i put the mod in. i assume its fine, as i am not running the unpacker

edit: it works!
