Where's Broken Crescent when you need it? The GBs in that are indestructable killing machines. They reduced the size of units to compensate, but an army of generals will wipe out any stack that comes near it, hands down.



Who needs one god when you can have 200 of them charging over the battlefield for you?

stupid question, but how do you upload a file on the .Org? I know I've done it before but I can't remember now.

[deguerra]

sigh. my ship is more akin to a swiss cheese these days.

[_Tristan_]

Use this

http://www.mizus.com/files/pbmupload.php

[Privateerkev]

Go here.

Click "add entry"

Enter a name. Like: LOTR-1129-6

Go to "upload file" and click on "browse". Find your file, make sure it is zipped or rarred, and hit "submit." You'll get a message that it worked but you can't make a thread. That is fine. Click on it to ok it.

You'll now see your file. Click on it to get the URL. (If you have Firefox, just send it to a new tab.)

Copy and paste the URL into the Megas thread.

Your done!

*edit*

Or, do what Tristan said.

BTW, why do so few people use the .org's own uploader? It works just fine...

[TinCow]

If you forget, the Uploader links will always be located in Q&A #4 in the FAQ.

Annios got a MoH. I didn't know if it was up to me to accept it so I've left it up. If the descision is only up to me then I accept.

You need to go to the save, accept the MoH, see who the adopter is, and then not save it.

Then, go to the person who is the adopter and tell them about it. It is totally their decision on whether to accept.

[_Tristan_]

One last thing you had no right to use those units... there were Methodios and locked...

You could have used your own crusaders for this....

Rules, people, rules...

Yeah but Methodios said this in the Magnaura:

Turning to Annios Solomon

Avenge Laskaris...

I know he was no friend of yours but he died doing something just and true and died a true warrior's death...

Show these brigands what it costs to defy the power of the Empire.

Bring them down.

I can see how he thought that was permission.

[_Tristan_]

Permission to use his own units maybe but my SOT is clear about mine...

Or any other in the city...

[woad&fangs]

Also, this was your reply via PM. Sorry, I thought you were giving me permission to use the garrison as well. I really didn't mean to use your soldiers without permission.

A message is delivered to you via messenger pidgeon. You open the letter and begin to read...

Quote:I can't stand being cooped up with that scum any longer. I humbly request your permission to take the garrison(minus Laskaris' ilk) and eliminate the army of rebels outside of the city. While I can beat them with only my crusaders, I would prefer to use overwhelming force so we take fewer casualties. I can easily eliminate them and return to city before riots occur.(ooc: in the same turn)

You have my permission but be advised that if you remain out of the city with your men by the end of the season, the Megas could do away with them.

[Privateerkev]

I'm not saying he didn't break the rule. But you weren't exactly clear. You should have told him what he could use and he should have asked what he could use.

From your SOT, it actually is illegal for him to use his own units since you've basically claimed them as a garrison.

Therefore, from your blanket permission, how was he to know what you meant? Unless you guys worked it out in PM's and we couldn't see?

In Houses, communication is everything. That's one of the reasons we all have our own boards. I try to be very specific with what I give people permission to do. Don't assume your vassals can read your mind.

[_Tristan_]

This was before they were reduced by Laskaris...

Let this rest... What's done cannot be undone...

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Btw.. Andronikos Komnenos(Motep) is the one who should accept the MoH offer..

And I only used 1 unit of Skythikon that lost 7 men. And that's it..
All other units that belonged to me are full units.

[woad&fangs]

thanks IK.

[Privateerkev]

Ok, then it's up to Motep whether Annios gets adopted. W&F might want to send Motep a nice IC and/or OOC PM about it.

[_Tristan_]

One last thing : I can grant you the fact that my answer authorized you to use my men to engage the rebels but also made clear that you had to reintegrate the city in the terms of you're asking that permission.

So why do you still have one unit of Byzantine infantry that belongs to Methodios with you ? And on whose authority did you send that unit of lancers to Cairo ?

I surely did not give permission for that...

EDIT : PK, when you take the save, would you please send that 28-men unit of lancers back to Alexandria ?

[Privateerkev]

No problem. Can you do me a favor and send me a PM? I save them and refer to them before I play my turn.

I'm always afraid I'll forget and saving PM's in a seperate folder gives me a good way to keep track.

[Ramses II CP]

My sympathies on your loss IK. Man, the Crusaders are falling like flies, even if Efstathios never got to the target.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Efstathios almost did.. Methodios just got there first
And the sabotages didn't help him either

[woad&fangs]

Advising and ordering are two different things. I see now that by "your men" you meant my ex-crusaders but at the time I thought it meant the army I took to kill the rebels.

As for the lancers I sent to Cairo. That was a dumb move and one I would have taken back if I had remembered to save after my battle(I will save frequently from now on).

My logic for my action with them was this.

-Once I left the settlment the soldiers with me were "my army" unless the Megas confiscated them.
-I could send units out of "my army" but if they ended the turn as captains they would become property of the Megas.
-Cairo could be reached this turn
-Cairo was rioting, Alexandria was yellow. Extra troops would help Cairo.

Unless you're the Rajputs, in which case the awe inpsiring armored elephant that carries your general just happens to have 1 HP and die at the slightest touch.

Actually only some of the generals are high HP slaugher machines in BC, some of them are weaker than the SS ones.

If they have any MP left, I'll simply send them back out into the field so they don't get caught up in the inevitable rioting. If they don't have any MP left, well, they will take losses. Sorry. Cairo is a powder keg right now. I can do a couple things to shore it up but I doubt it will get up to 70% by the beginning of next turn.

[TinCow]

The Tristan/w&f sitation will be dealt with by me privately.

[Kagemusha]

Sorry PK, but you cant disband anything from my private army.So the next turn my private army bertter should have that Alan cavalry.I acted completely through the rules.It was you who wanted to start this pissing contest.

[Kagemusha]

This is a deal braker PK.You cant disband anything from private army.Im not home now and cant view the save, but if you really disbanded units from my private army.You broke the rules clearly OC and you should face the consecuences.Tincow haver to punish you, this is far too intentional.

Sorry, but you are incorrect.

You moved a unit I had clearly reclaimed. Because you broke the rules, I went in and disbanded that Alan Cavalry. I was going to do it when I made my moves anyways. I simply did it earlier than normal to put the issue to rest.

Do not ever move something I reclaim again.

[Kagemusha]

Cant you understand.You cant seize anything from my private army and the only problem is interpration of mine that HA are archers and yours that they are cavalry.But disbanding unit from PA is a clear braking of rules.You cant get anywhere from that.

You have no ground to stand on.

1.) The moment I reclaimed that Alan Cav, they stopped being reinforcements for your army. They became "frozen" until I took the save back. This is totally acceptable for me to do within the rules.

2.) You then went and moved them in clear violation of the rules.

3.) I took the save and did something early that I was going to do anyways.

4.) Even if they were part of your army, it wasn't locked. So, either way, what I did was perfectly fine.

5.) As an aside, horse archers are not archers. They are cavalry. I know we fudged this in the beginning of the game but it is getting ridiculous. Archers are on foot. Horse archers are on... horses.

So, you have broken the rules and I have fixed the situation. Your army is now up to code and with you. You can lock it at your leisure.
