No events. Took 20 seconds in game.

You accidentally linked to your previous upload Pever, but I found 1086-8.zip and it was on Poland's turn, so I presume that was the correct one. My turn is done, no action of significance:

*sigh* Not a great day.

Ignoramus?

[_Tristan_]

I've PMed him and it has not been read yet...

[Ignoramus]

Sorry guys, I didn't realise Ramses had done his turn. My apologies.

[Ramses II CP]

I'm usually pretty quick, and I'll post when I'm out of town or otherwise indisposed, but I didn't send a PM. Sorry. :)

[Ignoramus]

Turn done. It's now France's turn.

Just a small question, but would it possible to have the end of turn report scroll appear ?

I have seen that the Hotseat set up mentioned
Hotseat scrolls = false

Making it true should make scrolls appear for each faction, no ?
Can it be changed w/out starting anew ?

I ask because in other Hotseats I play (Kingdoms-Crusades is one) I get those scrolls and I find them quite useful to know who is leading and the state of my Kingdom before starting anything...

[Ignoramus]

Is that why they don't appear? I wondered why I never got them. That would be a good idea if it could be done.

[pevergreen]

try it, and see if you dont need to restart the campaign.

I cant play games Monday-Thursday.

[FactionHeir]

Needs a new campaign or we would have to somehow find a way to mod the savegame itself.

Alternatively, I'm wondering if we get the scrolls if we save at the end of our turn (instead of at the log in screen) and have the next in line end our turn for us, thus possibly seeing all their announcements rather than jsut the ones which need confirmation

Russia's Turn

Can anyone point me to an explanation of how diplomacy works in this game?

Do we use diplomats, and if so, how do players get to respond to proposals made?

On the matter of diplomacy, anything goes between players but if you want it implemented in game, you have to send a diplomat to effect such deals as giving military access, trading maps, giving a province or giving money (hint....).

Otherwise, if you want to have say a "secret alliance", anything goes...

On modding the savegame, could it be done with Medmanager ? I would have tried but cannot get it to work on my PC

I would prefer if we could still save on the logging screen as it retains the "double-blind" technique... But if it is the way needed to have some of our announcements, I think it best to do it... Maybe a poll might be in order to decide that point...

[_Tristan_]

Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I know the medieval2.config file is read/written each time the game is started (hence the need to make it read only to keep any changes made to it), thus if we were to change the hotseat part in the config file to make it so hotseat_scrolls = true, wouldn't the game consider it so from now on ?

I truly hope I won't be proven wrong but i'm hopeless when it comes to modding so...

Or si the config file read every time a campaign is started... This would in fact need to start anew, something I won't even consider...

Any ideas welcome on the subject...

[FactionHeir]

Config is read each time the game is started, but for hotseat, these components are saved into the savegame the first time it is run.

Thus you can have no mp/hotseat lines in your cfg at all (such as me) and still run the savegame just fine.

[_Tristan_]

What if the starting player modified its config ?

Or is it in the save whoever modifies the config. ?

[FactionHeir]

The config options for MP are saved into the savegame the moment it is run the first time. Afterwards, you can have any option that is MP specific in your config and it won't affect this running game anymore.

Done:

The Danes, per their prior request, are invited to join the Catholic League (I'll post in the diplomacy thread too). Otherwise all quiet on the eastern front.

[Csargo]

Bump, did you PM Ignoramus?

[Ignoramus]

Sorry guys, I uploaded the save last night, but forgot to announce it here.
