[edit] Ignore this post.

**Tamur** · 10-17-2007, 21:19

Are we in wait mode? I finally have a bit of time to write for the stories thread but I have no idea where Fritz is or what he's doing at the moment.

And in case this post could be construed as complaining about slow place, please don't take it that way TC and/or econ! I know you've got plenty to do, and I'm not worried if it's taking a while to figure everything out. I'm just wondering if I've missed updates somewhere on current status.

**FactionHeir** · 10-17-2007, 21:31

Wait mode I think. TC needs to fight his battle still and then execute everyone's movements and roll too many dice.

**TinCow** · 10-17-2007, 21:49

I will fight my battle asap when I get home, then do the necessary editing to the game. I have already done over half the write-up/descriptions for Turn 2, so I expect Turn 2 to begin late this evening EST.

**Cecil XIX** · 10-18-2007, 00:57

Would that be before or after 10 PM?

**TinCow** · 10-18-2007, 02:17

I'm working on it as we speak. I will not go to sleep before it is done, but I'm still a ways away from finishing. Probably at least an hour.

**gibsonsg91921** · 10-18-2007, 02:23

thanks TC and econ, your hard work makes this game amazing.

**TinCow** · 10-18-2007, 03:37

This stuff continues to take far longer than I anticipated. I have posted the 1322 report, but it is currently missing most of the Units Available and I have not written a single "Choices" for anyone. I will continue working on those for the rest of the night, but I figured I would put the rest up since it was done.

[edit] I have finished everything except the Choices. Those will have to be done tomorrow. Mea culpa. If you do not need me to write Choices for you, please let me know as it will save me time. Also, please double check my descriptions and wealth calculations. I wrote a large part of this before clicking end turn and some things happened which I did not anticipate, forcing me to change the descriptions and wealth calculations. I think I made all the necessary changes, but given my record from last turn, a double check is wise.

**RoadKill** · 10-18-2007, 03:48

Econ, I think you have to permantly take over my battles with Lorenz, my MTW 2 disc is ofiially screwed up, nothing I can do about it. So now I will only be doing the IC stuff for Lorenz Zirn, very sorry.

BTW: Check out my story called MANHUNT in the Meadhall, really cool, give a little critique about it as well, or just a comment, thanks. Writing that damn thing is the only thing I can do to make up for MTW 2. (Yes I am advertising while I'm at it)

**econ21** · 10-18-2007, 10:31

TinCow: I think you forgot to create the 3 spear militia units in Antioch that we bought. We already had 3 at the beginning of 1320, so there should now be 6.

No problem - you'd best forward any PMs that TinCow sends you concerning your choices so I can review the save and provide my opinion on what you should do. As you don't have access to the save, it may be hard for you to make an informed decision otherwise.

Thanks. You had already added in the various Crusaders, so it confused me a bit. I saw 3 fresh, untouched spear militia and assumed you had done the same. I will add in the men.

I have fixed some errors in Outremer. I would also urge the Franconians to double check their numbers. Both of those areas were the ones that had the most changes from AI moves.

**econ21** · 10-18-2007, 15:37

TinCow's had some real life stuff come up today, so I am going to fill in the options for this turn. I'll post again here when they are done. Please PM your choices to both him and me. I won't give choices for Outremer, as I think we have that sorted.

Privateerkev: you can fight your battles anytime you like with save TinCow uploaded.

**OverKnight** · 10-18-2007, 15:48

If there are no objections, once PK is set, I'll have a go at my sally.

Yes, that would be fine.

**Stuperman** · 10-18-2007, 16:27

Damn! that's a big nasty stack on Cosica.....attack or wait for the seige, I'll need to think about that. My lack of Cav might be a problem.

**OverKnight** · 10-18-2007, 16:38

Since PK's out for the moment, mind if I take the save now?

I'll be quick.

**econ21** · 10-18-2007, 17:44

Sorry for the delay - yes, of course, go ahead.

**econ21** · 10-18-2007, 18:35

OK, I've put options in to the Cataclysm thread.

As before, feel free to give other orders that are feasible in game. Or even give suggestions for things that are not strictly speaking feasible (teleports, spawning units etc). However, if you have already benefited from free units etc, you may be unlikely to be so favorably treated again.

I am not sure who will implement your orders - TinCow or I - so please PM both of us with your instructions. Don't forget to specify any recruitment you want to do.

**OverKnight** · 10-18-2007, 18:35

Thought you might say that. I already fought the battles, let me upload the save.

The Kaiser's army now has a unit of cannons, enjoy, they're quite useful.

**FactionHeir** · 10-18-2007, 18:39

I just wish it were possible to mod the passive siege AI.

**OverKnight** · 10-18-2007, 18:49

Here's the save.

http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/kotr1322-1.zip

**Privateerkev** · 10-18-2007, 19:16

Sorry OK, I didn't mean to keep people waiting. I'll fight mine in a little while. When I get home, I'll take it if no one has it.

so, save is up for grabs for now.

**Privateerkev** · 10-18-2007, 19:43

Alright, I am back home.

I am taking the save.

**GeneralHankerchief** · 10-18-2007, 21:33

Are units we recruit (not hire) available the same turn we recruit them?

**econ21** · 10-18-2007, 21:52

No - the ones you use your points to recruit arrive next turn as usual. Some special additions may be available with no delay.

**Privateerkev** · 10-18-2007, 21:58

alright, two battles fought. I'm set up for Econ's battle. Stats coming by PM in a moment.

Happy hunting Econ and remember to implement Jan's "catch and release" policy.

Okay, thanks.

One more quick question: Say I decided to recruit a unit and then went on the march someplace else. Due to the TW concept of rally points, which is little-used, is there any possibility that the unit would appear on the march with me next turn, assuming I only went a short distance?

**Ferret** · 10-18-2007, 22:44

Does anyone else think that it is a little silly having armoured sergeants and normal sergeants at the same price, I don't know why anone would get the normal ones now?

Rally points also cost MP for the newly trained unit actually.
