King of the Romans OOC thread XII

[econ21]

Sorry you lost your save, Bob the Great.

I've just uninstalled Kingdoms etc and reinstall M2TW 1.2, so I'll pick up the savegame now.

[OverKnight]

Bob the Great, if you can fit in, feel free to take another shot at the save once you have a working compression utility. Or send the save as an attachment in an email to TC or myself as before. I hate to see your efforts come to nothing.

If that's not viable, get me the casualty stats, and I'll try to fight the battle myself to fit your outcome.

Hey Bob,

I know it can be a little confusing here some screen shots to make sure you are following the right steps. To know what to look for.

From your save folder highlight the save to .zip

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Right click the higlighted file and send to .zip (top of list)

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The file will .zip in the save folder. Highlight and cut or copy.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Go to desktop and paste there. that way you can find it quickly to upload the file.

It took me a few tries to figure it out. Hope it helps.

One other point, Bob: I notice you are running some Kingdoms games. Any save you produce in M2TW with Kingdoms installed will almost certainly not be usable by this PBM. We are still on 1.2. While people with 1.3 can read 1.2 saves, people with 1.2 can't read 1.3 saves. I had to uninstall M2TW and Kingdoms, then reinstall and apply the 1.2 patch before I could fight my battle today. It was not fun.

[Stuperman]

aww, shucks guys, thanks for the kind words, it means a lot to m...Gerhard.

Are there any avaiable avatars?

[FactionHeir]

econ was saying how Kordula might be married off next turn or so.

[Stuperman]

wewt!

[OverKnight]

I hate to be a killjoy, but don't put to much faith in peeking forward a few turns. Game play, for whatever reason, changes the future so to speak. So it may not come to pass.

[econ21]

Are there any avaiable avatars?

We don't have any available now, although there is always the optional of a recruitable Bavarian. My advice would be to wait a couple of turns to see if the Bavarian (or the Swabian) woman marries.

[Stig]

Can anyone test Econ's save?
I unstalled the entire game the other day (to fix my game again, couldn't play MP anymore) but after the reinstallation of only MTW2 I still simply had version 1.3, atleast that's what he said.

[FactionHeir]

Stig: Is your game still displaying as 1.3 after you reinstalled m2tw (without patching I assume)? If so, did you completely delete your m2tw folder before reinstalling and removed reg entries that remained?

[econ21]

Can anyone test Econ's save?

Good point - please can someone without kingdoms or 1.3 try to upload my save?

[Northnovas]

Test good loaded no problem.

[econ21]

Test good loaded no problem.

Excellent!

BTW, apropos nothing, after that battle, Elberhard has finally lost the "Elberhard the Lewd" moniker! Thank goodness! (Although he still has all the bad traits, IIRC, so you won't see any difference in his speech.)

[FactionHeir]

Heh. You get to hope that he doesn't regain it eventually (by losing a point in that trait and gaining it again - happened during my term)

[Tamur]

Just a note to say, I'll be fighting Fritz' battle about 06 GMT.

Sounds good, I'll see if Kordula marries, and won't really concern myself about an avatar till next diet session, but I'll still be bavarian.

[Privateerkev]

remember, even though we seem to have embraced the whole "recruitable generals" idea, there is still the option of being a generic elector until an avatar pops up.

[gibsonsg91921]

yeah, u can just invent urself as a character, and like invent a name and stuff. and u can be an elector and count that doesnt fight

[econ21]

Good point - I'll put Stuperman down as the 4th Elector of Bavaria so he can still contribute to the IC debates. I am sure Overknight will alert him if a new Bavarian spawns; he should contact Overknight if/when he gets tired of waiting and wants a recruitable general hired.

[RoadKill]

I'm losing interest, need something to do for me.

Perhaps you could organise the Ball that your Duke has sent invitations for? PM AussieGiant for details.

The way things are looking in the cataclysm thread, the Ball could be the last tango for the Reich before the lights go out for quite a while...

[gibsonsg91921]

dibs on the save, biatchi!

biatchi - pl. biatch

All right, I'm taking the save.

[Tamur]

Mmmm, ok. OverKnight, autoresolve Fritz' battle please. I could fight it now but with the save taken I'm just going to go get a bit more sleep than my usual four hours.

[AussieGiant]

Go get em Cecil!!!

Get Roadkill knighted also. That would be great. Remember...blood and lots of it for the old war horse!! :)

My lord, what a terrible battle. I lost over four-fifths of the army, and got my first 'Crushing Defeat' in my M2TW career. I'm completely clueless about how to fight the Poles. Edmund gained a half-dozen traits that make him a worse general and a better warrior.

But what's worst is that Wilhelm von Heidelberg was routed, captured, and executed. Christ, I'm sorry Roadkill.

Arnold is going to have Edmund executed...I can see it already.

Got a few screens for analysis?
