King of the Romans Out of Character thread XIII

Don't worry about the catastrophe. econ21 and I have it well in hand. Just keep playing as if you didn't know it was going to happen, which you all appear to be doing very well. Everything is proceeding as we have foreseen... heh... haha... HAHAHAHA.... MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH



Er, don't mind me.

Okay, I'm about to patch up. The correct order should be:

- FH's 1.28a
- Official 1.3

Correct?

Correct?

I'd be inclined to reverse the order - patch the game, then add FHs mod.

Library photos are uploading now and the 1300 ones will be showing up in the Library within the next few minutes.

I would like to request some help for the rest though. If someone has some time, I need the following written down and sent to me via PM:

1) Names and ages of underage males and unmarries females
2) Names of wives/children for any avatars that are missing them
3) Locations of all avatars in 1300
4) Fully updated titles for all avatars
5) Any famous battles I am missing
6) Anything else I am missing

If this is done, it will save me a LOT of time.

I'll do it in the next hour or so.


As for religious reunification, I already have a plan on how to do it. Won't spoil it though, since this is suppoed to be mysterious and not yet decided.

Modding installation order: any way works. Patch doesn't overwrite the mod and patch installs over it just fine without interfering with it.

Reunification will actually make us victorious if Byzantium has enough provinces to make it 45 for us. Not big deal though, since victory doesn't mean we cannot play on and it doesn't influence the game in any way. The 15% glory bonus we got since Rome was taken early on anyway.

I'd like to know then just how many people have some inkling of what is going on.

Clearly Stig does because he wanted to and that was apparently fine.

FH seems to because he is working on various aspects of the game

TC, and Econ...anyone else?

[OverKnight]

Besides an ominous feeling of dread, I know almost nothing. And I want it to stay that way.

Ituralde, TC and I have worked out a draft plot, but it may change due to events. We haven't told Stig, but would if Ansehelm becomes very involved.

A few other players have agreed to play parts in the plot, but don't know the full context or, in some cases, even their part yet. If anyone would like their character to be worked into the main story and/or has some ideas, PM TC or I, and we will hammer something out. But we won't reveal the plot, even to the actors[1].




[1]It's like 24 or Lost or something, when the actors are only given the script on the morning of the shoot....





... which may mean even the writers don't know how it is going to play out. Nina was a terrorist? So why did the terrorists order her to be shot What do you mean, the @#$%^&!!!ing numbers? etc

Needs correction: Scherer's battles in 1240 and 1242 at Paris were actually fought at Caen.

I scoured the entire worldmap in zoomed in mode, so that's all.

Jan has no clue about the cataclysm what-so-ever. I'm just playing him according to his traits, agenda, and reacting to the events around him.

I have to keep stretching to find ways to RP his insanely high piety.
