MTW2 Multiplayer Campaign

[Ignoramus]

I thought it was about time that we started a MTW2 Multiplayer Campaign.

We can hammer out the rules, but obviously all battles would have to be autoresolved.

I'll get the ball rolling by choosing England.

England - Ignoramus.
France - Shoot Me_I Explode
Holy Roman Empire - Ichigo
Spain - Cecil XIX
Venice
Byzantine Empire
Hungary
Scotland - sirnoob
Denmark - gibsonsg91921
Poland - Ramses II CP
Russia
Milan
Portugal
Moors
Egypt
Turks
Sicily - FactionHeir

Faction	Player	Save
England	Ignoramus	MPCX
France	Tristan	MPCX-1
HRE	Ichigo	MPCX-2
Spain	Cecil XIX	MPCX-3
Sicily	FactionHeir	MPCX-4
Scotland	Didz	MPCX-5
Russia	Bob_the_great	MPCX-6
Denmark	pevergreen	MPCX-7
Poland	Ramses II CP	MPCX-8

We can use the 1.2 patch.

[gibsonsg91921]

hmm by hotseat i presume? ill take denmark

[Cecil XIX]

I shall take France, then.

[FactionHeir]

Quite interesting. Ill likely post back once I get back from vacation and find sufficient free time.

[Stuperman]

So, how exactly does this work?

[Ramses II CP]

No mods, just vanilla? Hmm, I haven't tried Poland yet.

I'll be happy to take Poland.

Big, big question is... do we have to handle diplomacy strictly inside the game, or some modification thereof?

[Odin]

So, how exactly does this work?

Ditto

[Shoot Me_I Explode]

Sounds quite intresting but could someone please explain how this works and what I need to edit to get the option ingame?

[Shoot Me_I Explode]

I though the play order is determined by the order the fractions appear ingame to chose.

[gibsonsg91921]

yeah u cant do anything about the order

[Ignoramus]

You can by rearranging them in the descr.stat folder.

[FactionHeir]

Speaking of which, maybe its a good idea to give the AI extra florins per turn.
Kings purse of 6000 for AI factions makes them not too rich but challenging early on, although they do run out after 50 or so turns.

[Ignoramus]

If you could test several things, FH, that would be very helpful.

Can you test:

1.) Whether you can change the play order of factions.
2.) The best Hotseat settings for our campaign.
3.) The best AI boosts.
4.) The way diplomacy works.

Thanks.

Oh, and can you only have one Hotseat going at once, because I can't start another one.

[Ignoramus]

The first post was updated last week with the relevant play list.

The only thing that annoys me is the lack of public diplomacy. That makes the game more exciting, and it also helps keep the game moving along.

[FactionHeir]

Ah OK I didn't see it. wasn't there when I checked 2 weeks ago.

Could you add following:
1.3 patch
Diplomacy posts encouraged
No mods

That should be it in a nutshell.
Oh, and remove the first playtable (the sign up one)

[Didz]

I actually prefer the diplomatic side to be keep secret, as indeed it would be, reminds me of the board game Diplomacy.

[Ramses II CP]

Done: http://www.filecram.com/viewfile/1595807.htm

The Org's filespace wasn't working for me either. The message was 'please chose (sic) an existing file to upload.'

[pevergreen]

Yeah. Same thing to me, I'll report it to Tosa.

[_Tristan_]

[Ramses II CP]

Well, I def. PM'd Ignoramus this time, so I presume it's just a matter of his finding time.

[Ignoramus]

Sorry about the big delay guys, I'll do the save sometime today if I can.

[Ignoramus]

FileCram's not working.

[FactionHeir]

I can confirm the file can't be downloaded from there.

Can you PM Ramses to upload the file on mizus?

[Cecil XIX]

Turn complete.

[Didz]

Scotlands Turn Complete...Russia's Turn

http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/MPC1092-6.zip

Not sure how you create these links to the files, I can never get my attempts to work so I end up just editing the previous one.

[FactionHeir]

That's what I do. Copy/paste the previous link and change the number

[Ferret]

Or in the list of uploaded saves you can right click and then select 'copy link location' and then paste that into your reply box. Taking the save.

[_Tristan_]

Ignoramus ... You truly are true to your nickname...

"We ignore"... That's what you've been doing to my PM, not very nice considering your position...

I would like to hear from you...

[Ferret]

finally done my turn, really sorry for the delay
