King of the Romans OOC thread VII

[FactionHeir]

If econ is fighting his battle tonight still, I can hook you up with it immediately after.

Its not really a need, more an option. Only problem is that if Ignoramus remains unresponsive and turns pass, the Turks might actually end up taking the citadel.

[econ21]

Fighting the battle now.

[FactionHeir]

I thought you were an hour ago :p

Hope you will see beyond the bridge's dangers btw. I was daunting to look at at first, but not that bad :)

dont knight me yet, ooc wait for me to get my game to work - im gonna run the unpacker tonite i think

[FactionHeir]

Ummm don't use the unpacker unless you plan on making mods of your own. For general gameplay, its better not to unpack.

[econ21]

Here's the save:

Not sure it's worth a battle report, but here's the after battle screen shot (3:1 odds):

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Never bring a knife to a gunfight.

I think when I fought it, I had some 150 casualties and killed all but 34 of them. Just rushed Henry and the Teutons straight in, after a while added the other cav and heavy inf/spears. Left missiles behind.

[econ21]

Emperor's don't rush any where.

The contrast reminds me of a lewd quote from the police movie Colours. Robert Duvall's old timer is talking to his new partner:

There's two bulls standing on top of a mountain. The younger one says to the older one: "Hey pop, let's say we run down there and one of them cows". The older one says: "No son. Lets walk down and 'em all".

Elberhard would be proud of that one.

Walking down the mountain.

[FactionHeir]

Hehe well done with that battle. When I got the save, I wondered how come you still had most your army intact. Then I saw your screen and understood :p
I did that in my last SP campaign as Egypt where I had mamluks standing on the bridge peppering the Danes.

[AussieGiant]

hey guy's!

I've got some free time finally. I'm heading off to Ottawa tomorrow and will be online for the night.

Things are going along nicely I see.

Pitty I missed the whole carry on about Durazzo. Arnold sure would have weighed in on that one, but things seemed to have died down about the topic.

There is a hell of a lot to read if you've been away even for only 3 or 4 days!!

FH is Arnold actually doing anything? :)

I get the impression he is swaning about chasing his tail :)

[AussieGiant]

hey TC, a question.

On that huge battle with the Mongols with Otto, what were your frame rates?

It looks very nice and the settings seem nice and high.

I'm a little curious that's all.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Emperor's don't rush any where.

Speaking of which, when will Outremer's next king be named?

[FactionHeir]

AG: the AHA is now near Budapest but there are currently no Hungarians in our lands after Lothar beat them at Budapest and I rid them from Sofia.

Speaking of which, I now got a famous battle marker for my battle just now.
1 GB, 1 Feudal, 1 Armoured Sgt, 1 Pavise Crossbow vs 1 dmt Chiv, 8 dmt Feudal.
And Hans is now known as "Hans the Mighty"

[econ21]

Speaking of which, when will Outremer's next king be named?

The Emperor names a new King (could be a re-appointment of an existing one) during each Diet session, with enough time to allow the King to appoint his crusader counts before the voting period (where they will get +1 bonus influence).

I don't think the rules covered the King dying between sessions, but I understood Otto had named Salier as his successor. Henry is cool with that, so your correct form of address henceforth is King Salier.

[Ignoramus]

Sorry for my inactivity of late; I had some friends down for the long weekend and I didn't have a chance to fight th battle. I can do it today.

Oh, and what is the latest KOTRfix?

[AussieGiant]

hey FH,

God so TC has gone and done all the work for me!! Hells teeth.

I need to get Sig von Marhen knighted...is there someone I can crush?

Is the AHA back up to full strength at least?

[FactionHeir]

1.25a is the latest KOTRfix. Get it from my signature.

I just finished 1234 but haven't pressed end turn yet, so once its uploaded, feel free to fight your battle :)

AHA is up to full strength and you could fight some Hungarians near Bran since I need watchtowers there anyway

[TinCow]

Yes, Lothar would like to return to Bavaria as well.

Ummm don't use the unpacker unless you plan on making mods of your own. For general gameplay, its better not to unpack.

im just unpacking so i can overwrite the modded files so i can see if the switch works without mods

[Northnovas]

Oh, and what is the latest KOTRfix?

If there is a battle and Ulrich needs assistance with clean up I saw three small stacks of Turks send me that way. I can have a battle and return back to Damascus. I am good available to fight upto 0400 hrs your time Wednesday morning.

[FactionHeir]

Considering Ignoramus still hasn't fought his battle, feel free to attack with Karl Zirn whenever you wish.
Save is kotr1234-2.rar

[OverKnight]

Reviewing the history, I noticed that from the Mongol attack on Henry to their destruction took just one turn.

So Mongols declare war on us followed by near instantaneous Mongol death. Not bad.

[Ignoramus]

Wait, I am about to fight it. I have had to wait until my brother had finished doing something on his computer.

[FactionHeir]

Reviewing the history, I noticed that from the Mongol attack on Henry to their destruction took just one turn.

So Mongols declare war on us followed by near instantaneous Mongol death. Not bad.

With all that preparation, I wouldn't have expected us to loose

[FactionHeir]

Ignoramus: Empty your inbox.... (actually, empty your sentbox might be better)

What I wanted to say is, that after you sally and got enough MP, take out the Turks roaming north of Adana if you can.

[Ignoramus]

Will do.

[econ21]

With all that preparation, I wouldn't have expected us to loose.

I was totally surprised by the speed of the crusade on Damascus. I was not keeping up with the savegames, but assumed Henry and Otto would have had to cope with the Mongols alone for a bit. But Leopold was in a hurry to meet his date with destiny...

[FactionHeir]

There was an edict to fulfill that read "as fast as possible". Well, that was as fast it could be

[Ignoramus]

I have a problem: I can't get the patch until tomorrow. If you're willing to wait 16 - 18 hours I could fight the battle tomorrow.

[FactionHeir]

Alright I suppose...
