King of the Romans OOC thread X

[AussieGiant]

What happened Cecil??

Are you going to post up a battle report?

Bane with his hand in a bowl of cold water is a funny visual.

[Cecil XIX]

I'm writing the battle report right now. I like to build some suspense, don'cha know.

Yeah I know!! :)

I want to see what you did.

Small incident in Ragusa. You can check the Stories thread

[OverKnight]

Geez AG not everything can be solved by beheadings.

Still if Sicily declares war on us, I guess they've got a reason now.

[Cecil XIX]

Though I must say, I'm impressed the Arnold provided the family with compensation. Must be that 'fair in rule' trait at work.

[AussieGiant]

LOL,

Yeah it's tough being a series of contradicting traits sometimes.

I thought the money was a nice touch.

He's just trying to goad the Sicilian's into doing something stupid as usual.

It doesn't effect the in game stuff and it's a nice diversion to the ho hum of administration. I thought it was fairly much in character ;)

I'm aiming for the "most number of beheadings for a character in the Stories thread" award

[Cecil XIX]

The battle report is posted. I found it odd that the official count of men remaining did not include the prisoners who were spared. Presumably the Hungarian AI had not decided what to do with the prisoners yet. I still can't figure out why the Hungarians' combined kill count is four more than my 'men lost' count.

[Ignoramus]

Great battle write up, Cecil! That is one of the heaviest victories the Reich's ever had.

[OverKnight]

Good write up Cecil.

I will continue from the latest save when I get home. Expect a new queue around 1300 GMT.

OK

[econ21]

Good write up Cecil.

Yes, nice work!

The screenshots were a little large - when I use imageshack, I resize them to 800x600; it makes them align with the screen better (although maybe you have a very large screen).

[Privateerkev]

I seem to have gotten the image of a bunch of Teutonic knights dipping Bane's hand in warm water while he sleeps. Odd, that.

What I more had in mind involved a camel, a sleeping Bane, and a digital camera in order to upload blackmail photos to the internet. ^_^

Also, good job on the story AG and the battle report Cecil! Were the prisoners released along the same road that happens to be lined with thousands of heads on pikes? Something about the irony amuses me...

[AussieGiant]

Niiiice Cecil!!

Great work there.

Nice touch with the "first time" release orders.

Hate the fog. Don't like the fog at all.

Battle Queue 1270

An active year. First come first serve. Post when you take and post a link when you upload the new save. Remember I need casualty reports.

Edit: Check for the latest save.

Kaiser Siegfried - Completed

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Mein Kaiser, the Danish Noble Ragnvald of Vestmanna has been foolish enough to trespass on our lands again. Teach him the error of his ways.

Count Fritz von Kastilien - Completed

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

You have broken out of a feeble Polish encirclement and attempted ambush south of the river and have returned close to Thorn. A large Polish force of professional soldiers lies outside the walls. Break them. You may use the garrison to assist, but take care with your brother.

Count Sigismund von Mahren - Completed

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The Hungarians have taken advantage of your generous offer of parole and have blocked your path. In order for you to proceed to Bran, you must clear the two armies out of your way.

Count Lothar Steffen

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

You have landed on Sardinia, a large Milanese force lies outside Cagliari. If you attack them during the day, you can draw out the garrison, but the odds will be 2:3 against you. I will leave the choice up to you.

[TinCow]

I will not be able to play the battle until at least 7pm EST, so I will be farther down the queue.

[Tamur]

I'll be even later, again about 05 or 06.00 GMT.

[Stuperman]

OK, damn you and your quality Chancellorship!, there's so little to argue about!! (j/k )

Seriously though, nice job so far.

And TC good luck against the milanese, they have many, many knights.

[OverKnight]

Stuperman, there's always something to argue about in the Diet. It's the nature of any legislative body. Even now we have a bored Duke trying to instigate a war, Mongols careening toward us and endless battles around Thorn.

Thanks for the compliment, but you're seriously jinxing me.

[Ferret]

Im sorry if I'm posting this in completely the wrong place but I can't actually figure out how to join this PBM. If I have posted in the right place I would like to be the youngest spare general in the House of Franconia, thanks

[GeneralHankerchief]

Yes, you've found the right place, Bob_the_great. Welcome to the PBM!

[Privateerkev]

Hi BTG!

You posted in the right place. I am assuming you want Dieter Bresch who is currently in Antioch right now. I would just wait for econ to confirm your character because he is basically the closest equivalent that we have to a gamemaster. Once your in, I'll get you up to speed since my character would be your character's closest relative.

Meanwhile, just read up on threads to catch up and, if you can, download the latest savegame to see where we are.

[Ferret]

ok thanks guys :)

[Tamur]

Hello Bob, welcome! Another Franconian, wohoo!

[Stig]

Oooh, slowly we're running out of characters

welcome btw

[econ21]

Welcome, Bob the Great. If you want a young Franconian, you have a choice of Dieter Bresch or Helmut von Hamburg. Dieter is younger and more of a blank canvas, but Helmut has some very characterful traits that might be fun to roleplay. You should be able to inspect them in the library sticky or by downloading a savegame. Let me know which you prefer and I'll sign you up.

[Stuperman]

Hello Bob, welcome! Another Franconian, wohoo!

Oh great, just what we need.



Seriously, welcome BTG, Looks like you get to be knighted against the Mongols, talk about baptism by fire.

[Ferret]

I'm dwnloadin a savegame now I'll let you know which man I prefer in a few minutes, Thanks again

[Stig]

Personally I would recommend Dieter, as he's younger and has some potential in the Outremer, Helmut is on a suicide mission into Russia.
But Helmut does have some higher stats, but then, one battle against the Mongols and Dieter will have those as well.

[Privateerkev]

Of course there is now one new Franconian avatar but he is almost 60! o_O

[Ferret]

Sorry I'm taking so long the patch buggered up my computer, I'm trying it on my other computer now but I definately like the look of Dieter more.

[Cecil XIX]

All right, I'm taking the save. The AHA should be able to fight two or three battles this turn.
