Kingdoms-Crusades hotseat

[Doug-Thompson]

Got it.

[Doug-Thompson]

Crusades-4-1 is up.

[Ferret]

I'll play my turn either tonight or tommorow night

[Ferret]

here is the latest save, sorry for the delay - http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/Crusades-4-2.sav

[_Tristan_]

OK Got the save...

Will play it tomorrow evening...

Btw, wouldn't it be great if we posted the battles during our turns as well as any death of player's characters just as if we played SP ?

[Ferret]

yeah that would be good, if people can be bothered. i certainly will form now on.

[_Tristan_]

Ok I'll begin on my turn

I like the idea. I'll try and post a few screen shots if anything significant happens next turn. It's a shame hotseat mode doesn't give you all the bulletins on what's happened in the last turn like SP does.

While that sounds fair enough, I'm going to be the old grouch and holdout.

Allow me to explain.

Suppose we were playing a Teutonic campaign and I was the Lithuanians. Suppose the Teutonic Order really ripped my guts out on one turn, defeating a huge army and taking an important town.

I wouldn't want it to be widely known right away that I was crippled. Also, the Teutonic player might not it widely known.

Why would either me or my Teutonic slayer want to let everybody know that I'm at death's door and it's time to swarm me, getting what provinces you can before the Teutonic Order finishes me off? Alliances could change instantly.

To me, information is the most important commodity of all. I share information with my closest allies. Everybody else can get what they can on their own.

I understand your point perfectly nevertheless death of agents or merchant take-overs should be advertised...

I don't want to have to take note of position of every single agent of mine to know if one has gone missing during the other players turn
We should also be advised as in SP of any change of relations between factions (I've just found out I'm at war with the Turks thx to the Diplo Tab.... )



Could we agree on that at least ?


Don't worry Doug, I won't tell anybody of the bashing you took

Anyway, I'll edit today and post some screenies... Unless anyone is of one mind on this subject...


EDIT : forgot to post link....Crusades-4-3.rar is up.... Stig, you're good to go...


EDIT2 : Here is what happened during my turn...

As requested by Doug, i won't post any strategic info...

Sorry, Doug... or perhaps not...

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

They were a general and an assassin

Sure, I'll go for that.

I'm sure everybody's looked at the military strength graph on the ranking charts, TdC. I let those do my bragging for me. If your victory is as impressive as you say, perhaps we have a fair fight again after what happened to you on Turn 2.

[_Tristan_]

Let me call a Crusade... And we'll fight as equals...

You Jihading ...

[Doug-Thompson]

Hey, it's not my fault your religion doesn't inspire enough zeal.

[Doug-Thompson]

Upon reflection, this has been a pretty interesting campaign. We both have stories to tell, and a lot of it has been revealed anyway.

So start with what you did on turn 1. I'll describe what I did in response, and we can tell the whole story in context.

[_Tristan_]

I sure will as soon as I have some time on my hands... I want to make as correct a report as possible...

I really have much fun thwarting your plans... surely as much as you have thwarting mine...

I wonder if our northern neighbors have so much fun...

If they are, they're just about dead.

[Stig]

Apparently it was my turn (thanks for the PM, missed this thread ... well mostlikely not missed but forgot)

And I've taken it, up to you Prole.

Little important happened really.

[Proletariat]

Will get to this this evening, hopefully

[Proletariat]

Sorry for the long delay, save's up. Going to Italy tonight, will be back on the 8th.

[Doug-Thompson]

Crusades-5-1 is up.

[_Tristan_]

Will certainly play it tonight (along with teutonic hotseat...)

I'm also preparing to post the turn report that we spoke of earlier...
Lot of tga editing and not much time on my hands...

[Ferret]

sorry for the delay, I've only just realised that it's my turn, It'll be done shortly.

Turn done and uploaded here: http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/Crusades-5-2.sav

[_Tristan_]

Ok i've posted the turn report... Made it in some kind of AAR...

I suggest that each player makes a post and edits it as the game progresses...
It should be easier

The thread is here

[Ferret]

I've made my first repot, I started at turn 5 because I deleted the screens from previous turns and don't have the time to go and replay the turns. Btw the '...' in bold is only there because I can't remember what year turn 5 is :P

[_Tristan_]

Jerusalem turn 5 played... Save is here

Not much happened... I'll update the report once everybody has played its turn... No free info... Sorry
