Kingdoms-Crusades hotseat

[_Tristan_]

Nice to know we'll finally be starting

Welcome Stig and Proletariat

@Doug : Don't worry about time zones... It was to know if yoou could be online at any given time

[Ferret]

here is the list of players in order, the number is what to put after the file when you upload it (eg the file that Doug would download for his 3rd turn would be 'Crusades-3-5' the 3 to represent turn number and the 5 is Doug's number. He would then upload a file as 'Crusades-4-1' for me. I hope this is clear for everyone.

Antioch	Elite Ferret	1
Jerusalem	Tristan_de_Castelreng	2
Byzantines	Zim	3
Turks	PrivateerKev	4
Egyptians	Doug-Thompson	5

I will start the game on Hard difficulty unless anyone has any major objections

[Stig]

Please make it medium, I suck at this game really, especially on hard

[Ferret]

my turn is played and uploaded as Crusades-1-2 for Tristan

[Ferret]

ahh come on I've never played a game on hard either and remember all battles and stuff are autoresolved

[Stig]

ahh come on I've never played a game on hard either and remember all battles and stuff are autoresolved

Yes, but the only reason I can survive on Hard is because I pwn the AI in battles.

Anyway, I'll give it a try, but I'm no campaign player, I only play MP normally, and can't do that anymore because GameSpy decides to be bloody irritating.

[Ferret]

Don't worry th Byzantines start off in quite a good place, if you ally with the muslims you can concentrate on rebels and repelling the venetians when they come or you can ally with the crusaders and help me fight the turks, and tbh i usually play on easy lol because I end up getting the crap kicked out of me, the only hard battle i've ever fought was agianst rebels in KotR

[Stig]

Is KotR Hard?
mmm I didn't even know that?

[Ferret]

yh isn't it on H/vH difficulty, it was a pretty easy battle for me though, just a bunch of rebels

[_Tristan_]

I've downloaded the save...

I'll play it ASAP and post then...

[Proletariat]

I've never played the game on anything but m/m either, looking forward to my imminent pwning :P

[Ferret]

lol well none of us seem to have played on hard before, this should be interesting

[_Tristan_]

I generally play on H/VH in SP

Playing right now, should be posted tonight

[Stig]

I generally play on H/VH in SP

Congrats on the victory mate

[_Tristan_]

OK I have posted the save here

It's the Byzantine turn... (save is Crusades-1-3.rar)

[Ferret]

cool, so it's Stig's turn but he said he won't be able to play on weekends so we'll just wait till Monday :)

[Stig]

cool, so it's Stig's turn but he said he won't be able to play on weekends so we'll just wait till Monday :)

Nah, tomorrow about 21:00 your time

[Ferret]

ok nice one, btw remember to guard Constantinople

Next

[Ferret]

cool, so it's Proletariat's turn now

[StoneCold]

I thought campaign difficulties make it easier for the AI factions to recruit, get cash, etc. Since all factions except the rebels, Mongols and Venetians are taken, it shouldn't matter most of the turns until they show up?

[Proletariat]

Your up, Doug. Let's show these infidels the light.







Edit: Oh, and US EST here. GMT -4

[Boyar Son]

Sorry to come in between this but are you guys fighting each other?

If so then maybe I could join when another hotseat is made (also when I get my copy of Kingdoms)

Thanks

Venetians?
Nooooooooo

[Ferret]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! that's the one annoying thing about hotseat campaigns - you have no idea what happens to your forces outside of your turn. I probably would never have realised the loss of my diplomat if you hadn't posted this.

when this one has finished I will probably start up a Teutonic hotseat and your welcome to join that one

[_Tristan_]

Sorry for your loss...

And if all goes well with this one, count me in for a Teutonic Campaign

[_Tristan_]

Venetians?
Nooooooooo

Just when you thought you had it easy...


PS : Any news from Doug ?

[Ferret]

no he's in the US so he'll probably be on later, btw check your PMs Tristan

[Stig]

Just when you thought you had it easy...

Yeah, I thought I had a save place on the map, just spam some armies and go after the Turks

don't say I didn't warn you , don't worry they only get three half stacks and in all my 1p campaigns they just sacked Constantinople once and then just sat outside it when the Byzantines retook it
