An EB interactive campaign ...

[Ibn-Khaldun]

russia almighty - you can always do what WH have suggested to some others..

EB uses the mod-switch function; so you can rename your current EB folder to something like EBv1. Once that's done, reinstall EB, then you'll be able to install our mod, and you'll be set to go!

Hope you have enough free space in your PC though

Hax and LordofUmbar - I added your names into the list

Looks like we have enough people interested to get this thing started.
We will need to test and fix some bugs in our WotB mod and put together these final rules but other than that we are ready to go!
Hope to start in the last week of August or on the first week of September.

As for those who have signed up and are interested but can't jump into this game when we start it then don't worry.. You can always join the game later when you have the time..

Also... I think I'll mention this now. I've said it before I think. If the game is already in progress(or even now before it has started) and you suddenly can't play anymore for some reason just PM me about that but don't disappear without saying anything

[Hooahguy]

i think ill join, but i wont be available much....

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I'll sign you up..

Even if you take just part of these 'Council' meetings and help us decide the fate of the Empire then that is good enough.. You don't have to run around with your avatar!

Good to see some famous names here..

[MerlinusCDXX]

ooops, I guess I didn't mention in my other post, but yes, Ibn-Khaldun, please count me in. :D

[Ibn-Khaldun]

(I have always wanted to use this smilie)

So it wouldn't be buried under other threads..

Anyway .. once the rules have been decided then perhaps we can start this thing..
So far the WotB mod made by WH looks working just fine...

[||Lz3||]

I would be interested in being part of the council...

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Every player will be part of the 'Council'

It just that some of them will have more influence than others.. like Basileus and the faction heir(whoes greek name i always forget) and some others..

seems working fine to me as well

[Warmaster Horus]

Kleronomos Basileion, I believe it is.

The Council is what we'll call our Senate. It sounds better than Senate, considering the Arche is supposed to be a Kingdom, and not a Republic.

[A Terribly Harmful Name]

You forgot to put my name in, Ibn-Khaldun.

[TWFanatic]

You can count me in. I don't quite understand what this is but you can count me in nonetheless.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Basileos ton Ellenon - You are signed up now

WH - Thanks.. also check your e-mail

TWFanatic - This game will be similar to LotR (Last of the Romans) that is being played in the Throne Room. If you like to know how this game (WotB - Will of the Basileus) will look like then check the LotR sub-forum for more information about these kind of games.

[TWFanatic]

Nice. I am looking forward to this. Will we get our own forum?

[Warmaster Horus]

Hopefully Tincow can give us some space in the Throne Room. We haven't asked yet, but we will.

[Fondor_Yards]

Ya know, why not, add me to the list.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Yes, we haven't asked yet because it's better to ask when we have everything ready and have something to show ...

Fondor_Yards - will do that

[Megas Methuselah]

Yeah, I can't wait!

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Yeah, I can't wait!

Trust me.. You are not the only one!!!

LOL I though that LotR meant "Lord of the Rings" total war

I meant that I would like to be part of the online council without...actually participate in the campaign... cause...I dont know.. too lazy to change my crazy-modded files <.<

which mods would we use? may I suggest Lysander13's AI minimod? to use Sinhuets formations (real improvement)

[Megas Methuselah]

too lazy to change my crazy-modded files <.<

As suggested above, just rename your EB folder, "original EB" or something. Then you can install EB again, and have your original EB in one folder and the interactive campaign mini-mod in the other.

This is done assuming you have enough space on your comp, of course!

as a matter of fact I ALREADY have 2 EBs <.< :p
-and a freakin many more RTW installations too >.>-

1- crazy moded EB
2-Normal EB without...ANYTHING (instead of reinstalling the whole thing...)

and...
1 RTW for Roma Surrectum
1 RTW for NTW 2 , LoTR, RTR

and I only have 10 gigs of free memory space <.<

I migh use the backup EB installation , which minimods (and/or) fixes are we going to have installed?

[Megas Methuselah]

Wow...

[ULC]

Oooo...shiny. I'd love to play with AS, Sign me up as well . Just to let you know though, I might not be able to be on until early September, so I might miss the first few turns .

Are going to set up a test game at all? When will we start on rules discussion?

[Ibn-Khaldun]

||Lz3|| - WH is working with the WotB Mod so you should ask him for more info about that. I could answer myself but I can't find where WH told me what will be in it

YourLordandConqueror - Will sign you up as well! Because we are still testing the mod itself then it will take max week before we can move on.

About the test game.. We probably ask some people and do one just before we start the real game.

The basic rules are ready and once WH looks them over we will make a small discussion over them privately. After that we post them here(I think) so you could make your suggestions too. Actually you can make them even now.

[Rodrico Stak]

Sounds cool! Count me in!

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Rodrico Stak - Your signed up too.


Another thing is that since it is better for people to see the rules and to discuss over them before we start the game then I have made a temporary forum that you can find here: WotB temporary forum

Will change the first post and add the link there too.

[General Appo]

Yo, just noticed my name was mysteriously moved to the top of the drafting list in the Tavern, I´ve been away but now I´m back and would like to take part if possible.
BTW, has anyone ever heard of the song Out On An Island by Cock Sparrer? Thought not. But if have heard it, just imagine that that´s what I´ve been doing.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

So.. General Appo.. I can sign you up as well?

Looks like EB was the best mod to start this kind of game. Lots of people joining in.

[Megas Methuselah]

Lots of people joining in

Yeah, I went around drafting the drunkards from the Tavern and various other EB'ers.

[TheFlax]

You can count me in IK.

I do hope there will be a thread for stories like in LotR?
