King of the Romans OOC thread XI

[Privateerkev]

LOL, I vote for the tavern just because of these 2 rules

woot!

Up to three! FH confirmed through PM that his deal emoticon was a "yes" vote.

[OverKnight]

About the changes to make generals recruitable. . .

In 1276, this appeared in all cities with Huge walls.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The next year I could recruit. Since Florence is still working on it's huge walls, I decided to recruit a general in Rome. They're not cheap.

Warmaster Horus should have an avatar for 1280. I did it as quickly as I could.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Wait, when did Jens become "Jens the Honourable"?

*grumbles*

Guess I'm gonna have to find a way to RP around that one.

[Stuperman]

WOOT WOOT 'The Honourable' suffex FTW!!!



I'm a little bored at work today......

Looks like your gonna be a "different" kind of Hummel!

Thanks!

@GH,

Maybe it's an ironic name given to him by his detractors?

[OverKnight]

I've been using Jens as a governor since he was unclaimed, I think he maxed out the noble in rule line.

It's from Chivalrous in Rule, which only applies to how he manages his own lands. You can still be a total bastard to everyone who isn't your direct vassal.

[edit]
Library is (mostly) updated. It seems my stretching problem is a problem with M2TW, not my settings. The game puts the campaign and battle map in the proper resolution, but apparently CA forgot to code the interface to scale as well. The result is that the campaign map info boxes and the battle map unit cards appear stretchy in widescreen, no matter what you do. As a work-around, I just need to switch my campaign map resolution to a non-widescreen setting before taking the Library screenshots. As you can see, they all look normal.

[Privateerkev]

TC: I got a weird question. I was looking at Jan in the library and he has a trait missing. I think I'm using the mod so is this a problem on my end?

[AussieGiant]

Hey PK

The legislation requires a CA for provinces taken to be incorporated into the Reich.

You need some more lawyers :)


Econ

Becker is now a count so can you adjust the Influence for him please.

I guess the unused Austrian Avatar can't be used by me as extra voting can it? :)

[Privateerkev]

AG, your right and I edited my post after reading the CA.

As for house edicts, you do seem kind of !@#$'d. I wonder if people thought of that when they pushed for Karl to be King. o_O

[FactionHeir]

TC: I got a weird question. I was looking at Jan in the library and he has a trait missing. I think I'm using the mod so is this a problem on my end?

PK is correct.
His entry is missing "Understands Trade" (GoodTrader 1) and is incorrect with "AspiringCommander" (GoodCommander 2) which should be "Promising Commander".

TC, can you please make sure that you have the fixes installed correctly and working?

[OverKnight]

Very funny story Ituralde. I hope your RL vacation is just as good.

They're installed. Most likely I made an error while cutting and pasting. I've done that a few times before. I'll fix it in a bit.

[Privateerkev]

I've already told GH that I liked his story. But, the whole time, the scene from Spaceballs, where Dark Helmet was playing with his dolls, was running through my head.




"Oh...your helmet is sooo big!"

Up to three! FH confirmed through PM that his deal emoticon was a "yes" vote.

OK, make that four. A tavern is the kind of place Elberhard would hang out.

Especially with his new wife...

[OverKnight]

As I have stated many, many times, Matthias is a Chancellor not a matchmaker.

Perhaps the Princesses brought into the royal family are not ideal, but I didn't have a lot of candidates to choose from. When recruited, they both had four hearts, so I was kind of surprised that they turned out to be unpleasant.

Welcome to the world of arranged Political marriages.

[econ21]

Overknight - OOC, just to clarify - I am delighted that Elberhard is married. It was a most pleasant surprise. And IC, Elberhard was moaning about it in a story just before he got hitched, so he can't complain too loudly. His wife, on the other hand, ....

[OverKnight]

Ah, yes. . .I have some small experience with a wretched wife. Be creative.

Edit: To tell the truth, I consider the two marriage alliances the best accomplishment of my term. We hadn't done them in the PBM so far and any political gains made with our reputation is tricky.

It wasn't until my AAR that I truly realized the utility and mechanics of a marriage alliance, which is why I pursued them.

[econ21]

Edit: To tell the truth, I consider the two marriage alliances the best accomplishment of my term.

I was thinking the same. Your two terms have been an education to me in M2TW diplomacy (your previous term saw some very nifty work with the Papacy IIRC).

[AussieGiant]

OK's work in both terms have been nigh on incredible to me and I've told him that.

A TAVERN!!??

DID someone say a Tavern!!??

Good Lord, the Dread Duke and his thugs would never want such an environment to work in...WOOT!!

PK, you got my vote BOY!!??

[Privateerkev]

Especially with his new wife...

I'm not sure that the tavern would be quite the place for your wife...

Just kidding, I know your talking about getting away from her, not bringing her with. Its just easy to read it either way. Maybe I should use that as a selling point?

"The Tavern, you can't find love but you can escape from your arranged marriage!"

I figure I'll get to six later when more people log on. I can see AG leaping at it because he's been looking for more ways to RP as a dread duke. Heck, he's almost turned the Diet into a tavern.

*edit*

I think at the next Diet, we should each push forward personal legislation that demands that each character gets married just so we can see the next Chancellor break down and cry.
