Scottish PBM :OOC

Bump, and also: How's it going, Warmaster Horus? Is the save working ok? I reinstalled the game(plus the 1.2 patch) from scratch before playing my turn just to be safe.

I've got it, and I played it. I'm now trying to learn how to use Imageshack (well, I was about to, anyway). I said you could anticipate an update tomorrow, and tomorrow an update you shall have.

Update: Well, none today, at least, due to the fact that I have no tangible way of transfering the save and the pics from my laptop (upon which I play M2) to my family's computer (which I'm using now, and which has an internet connection). I'm getting a new USB key monday (I lost mine, gah, it was only 256Mb anyway) and you'll have to expect an update then. Sorry!

Hi guys

Hope you are all enjoying your weekends.

Just a note: I am off to Tenerife

for 2 weeks a week on Tuesday but am happy to play my reign before I go or when I get back.

Hope this can be fitted in with everyone?

Okay: here it is: http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/PBMScots41.rar

As you can see, it's a .rar file, so if Ignoramus has a problem with it... I can upload a zip one.

Write-up pending until I've got more time.

Briefly: I conquered Caervanon, Jerusalem. Jerusalem revolted and I took the army to conquer Acre, so we've got a foothold in the Holy Land. Not the one we wanted, but still...

We're receiving tributes from a few guys (Russia and I forgot who else). We've got a large-ish army in Acre and another in Edinburgh. Oh, by the way, I had to recruit mercenaries in the Holy Land to keep Jerusalem from rebelling, but the city did anyway. So Acre has a half-dozen Scottish troops and about the same amount of mercenaries. I realize this offends one of the rules above, but I had no real choice. Acre is safe, 150% happiness.

We don't have a navy, although mercenaries and cogs can be recruited if necessary.

I did my utmost to please the Pope, that's why there are a churches in every settlement.

Ignoramus is the next player.

I was surfing through the various Throne Room threads for the Throne Room article in the September Gahzette. I was very pleased to see how well this game is coming. I've missed reading succession games for a long time now. Zim, you've done an excellent job with the write-up and I hope this game keeps going right through to the end.

Thanks, Tincow, I know I'm not the best writer on the forums, but I always try. I mised the succesion games too, that's why I tarted one.

YAKOBU, have fun on your vacation. By the time you come back the next two people will probably have jut about wrapped up their reigns, so your should be waiting for you.

Warmaster Horus, sounds good.

I'm not too worried about the mercenary thing. THe rule was mainly to prevent the sack, hire mercenaries, sack cycle that some people use to blitz.

If you think the next peron will finish their reign before you do a writeup, could you put place saving post in the IC thread? That way nothing gets out of order.

**Ignoramus** · 08-28-2007, 11:07

Right, I'll pick up the save and get playing.

This is actually a new experience for me, as despite being part of WotS and KotR, I have never participated in an original succession PBM.
