[Ferret]

Makurians are up:http://mizus.org/files/pbm/BC2-05-14.rar

I'd also like to report a weird bug:


As well as the plaza looking like that my men were unable to climb ladders, luckily I had a ram and enough horse archers to kill everyone in the plaza

[Ramses II CP]

That's Kiev. It's a known bug (I mentioned it in this thread, or maybe the other BC hotseat thread) and you're quite lucky as sometimes things spawn in completely unreachable areas. Best just to auto-calc.

[Merlox]

I remember some one saying that the Makurians need a sub or player, one of the two, If you guys let me strip my honor, i'll play the faction. x_x;

LOL, a city with its own local swimming pool. That would have to be the best ever defensive solution for the AI ever.

You might as well be this game's official sub, for no one else has put their hand up for it and I'm sure ATPG would probably enjoy not having to do it everytime.

[Ramses II CP]

Who is up now? Still Makuria? Somebody send 'em a PM storm!

[Galain_Ironhide]

With Askthepizzaguy and PrinceofTroy missing in action, the game is practically dead in the water until one of them resurface.

Should PrinceofTroy finally play, the game will progress to Atpg's turn and stall there too, I don't know if he passed his own password on to somebody else either?

[00jebus]

Im pretty sure PoT's been active in LotR, if he's dropped out then Merlox could sub for him if he PM's him, I'd suggest just asking ATPG but since he's AWOL

Ok, yea, FYI this post was my attempt at getting as many anagrams as possible into a single post

[Askthepizzaguy]

From the ashes of computer failure rises the Phoenix to reclaim his rightful place as moderator of this game.

Sorry everyone, thanks for your patience, but I need everyone to go ahead and RE-SEND their passwords and SUBSTITUTE PLAYERS (say ATPG or Default if you want either myself or a trusted sub of my choosing to control your faction in good faith if you don't have a sub)

ALL my data was lost, including my saved games for the Blitzmaster record campaign, dammit.
That also includes your passwords.

Please go ahead and send them all to askthepizzaguy@yahoo.com

A saved email will keep track of all your passwords... so if I have another computer failure, it wont matter.

New computers dont fail anyway... do they?


PS The Lemongate and Prince of Troy being absent means I need them to email me their passwords anyways, and if they don't I may need to look up how to use moderator priviliges to change their passwords manually.

I'm off to buy a computer, but I still may not have net access until tonight. Hope I don't buy a LEMONgate!

Ha. Ha. Ha. (Big Fake Laugh) Hah.

[cassu]

ATPG what do you mean lost? lost like you cant start the computer or lost like down from the 4th floor? if nothing is recoverable it sucks but hopefully we get this game going

[Askthepizzaguy]

I AM BACK, BABY!!!

Hear me roar on my new Qosmio laptop... I hope M2TW works with Vista... hehe

I am almost set up, I have to install all my games and patches and so on, and I have Kingdoms now.

Spent a pretty penny... bout $2K for the system itself, Kingdoms, and the 3 year total warranty. Nothings gonna bite this computer to death with the full warranty... accident, theft, etc.

Good deal... spent 3k on the last one 3 yrs ago and it sucked out loud.

[Privateerkev]

Im pretty sure PoT's been active in LotR, if he's dropped out then Merlox could sub for him if he PM's him, I'd suggest just asking ATPG but since he's AWOL

PoT is not part of LotR right now but his avatar is being held in storage in case he returns. But he has been on the board lately. TLG is simply gone. He hasn't logged in for weeks and no one knows what is up with him.

If the game is admin enabled, ATPG can use the console commands to change the passwords of those players.

[Askthepizzaguy]

It is admin-enabled. I can change the passwords. Anyone remember how?

[Privateerkev]

It is admin-enabled. I can change the passwords. Anyone remember how?

All the infomation I have found on it has been compiled here.

When that is set, you open the console, login with the password and then type: clear_password <faction_label>

Replace <factionlablel> by say byzantium
The password will then be removed, the first player who enters can set a new one.

If you have questions, Tosa and FH are very knowledgable on the subject. I don't know much more than what is in that thread but I can try to help.

[Askthepizzaguy]

You rawk PrivateerKev. As soon as everything is installed and running properly I will attempt to restore this and any other games I'm in.

Happy to help. I was part of a Hotseat that had to be abandoned because a player left and refused to give up his password. Since then, making these admin-enabled is standard.

[Ferret]

don't remind me PK

[Askthepizzaguy]

Still need everyone's password and subs.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Major problems fellows;

I cannot get BC1, BC2, BC3, or GCH2 saves to work on my computer after repeated installations.

I dont think I need it, but I am downloading the 1.3 patch anyway, even though I have kingdoms. Its the only thing I have left.

There is one, unthinkable option...

I have my old, non-kingdoms, scratched up m2tw disk. I could totally uninstall everything and attempt to do a m2tw 1.0->1.3->BC->1.5->4quickfixes installation.

But it will be a while before I attempt to do that. I'm trying to enjoy Kingdoms. So, until further notice, I will have to drop out of this hotseat.

If you guys want to continue, you will need my admin password. It is, for this game I believe, "dalbert". You will need to change the passwords for the factions which dropped out.

If that doesn't work, contact me and I will give you my other, more secure password I used.

Sorry fellows.

[Galain_Ironhide]

That's ok atpg. I think we are all moving in different directions, plus with Merlox's well thought out BC3 hotseat, which many are participating in, I dare say BC2 may have to be pronounced dead.

Unless somebody wants to take over that is.

On the other hand, how are you enjoying Kingdoms? I bought Kingdoms about four weeks ago and I have dabbled a bit as the Welsh in the Brittania Campaign, some pretty good features in it. Just love that burning oil that you can send many of your men to their deaths with when they run through the enemy's Gate!

Edit: I would like to announce to all that my alter ego, aka Galain_Ironhide, is 1 year old today. Wow, 1 year of the .org. How I love this place and its inhabitants. Thanks for the memories.

Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me, Total deaths today were 1400 to 23. Happy Birthday to me.

Anyway, moving on.

I wish I had a screenshot of my Ireland campaign.

First, I punished the vile English for even setting foot on MY island. Then, after sending them scattering, I forced them to sign a peace treaty, and signed a one turn temporary alliance with the English so I could destroy Norway, then betrayed England, invaded Wales, destroyed Wales, and marched 5 stacks of troops under my 10 dread faction leader towards Nottingham, razed it, and then marched on to London.

This was done in a matter of some 25-30 turns.

Needless to say, English people fear me.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Ok here's the screenshot.

Turn 29- 5 stacks of Irish troops, armed with trebuchets, heavy infantry stacks, epic archer stacks, all-cavalry stacks, excellent generals and a 10-dread Faction Leader against Nottingham.

2,128 troops and 6,787 reinforcements decimate England's greatest stronghold in a matter of minutes, then march on London, forcing England's unconditional surrender.

With Wales and Norway destroyed, and Scotland as my ally, England crippled, I decided to try a more challenging campaign.



And I personally destroyed most of the Baron's Alliance as well. Pathetic lot, really. I feel sorry for them. Playing as them would be challenging.

[_Tristan_]

I might pick this one up if ATPG agrees...

But this will have to wait until the end of August or the start of September...

I have some experience with administering hotseats so this shouldn't pause any problems...

ATPG, I gather you have lost the PW for the game ?

[Askthepizzaguy]

The administrator's password is dalbert

Latin's password is most likely "1".

Other factions' passwords will need to be modified if they have dropped out

And, if you like, I will stay in the game, if someone would be so kind as to move my pieces for me.

[_Tristan_]

I have no problem with that, ATPG.

It is funny you can't get your game to work... Some problem with Vista ?

[_Tristan_]

This is intended as a roll call for the players involved in this.

Please send me a PM if you wish to continue playing in this game that I will admin.

In a week or two, I'll get the ball rolling once more.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I have Vista, Kingdoms, BC, 1.5, and 4 hotfixes installed.

My single player games work perfectly. I cannot get any save games created by a different computer to work at all.

I've dropped out of active play in all my hotseats over this.

[_Tristan_]

That's rather strange as I have the same setup you have.

[Askthepizzaguy]

are there any patches I am forgetting, and WHAT does your medieval cfg and bc cfg files say???
