Just sack it. Methodios have a lot of experience in that!

[_Tristan_]

I won't do it if it might cost me another province...

Methodios must be the avatar who had the most provinces sift through his hands : Durazzo, Zagreb, Scopia...

With the new army rules, he'd be King of the World (or almost...)

[Privateerkev]

Pick one and give me the save back...

I've gotten some flack around here for playing ahead back when the game started. When you get the option screen when you take a city, just pick one of them and eat the IC consequences.

wilco

wilco?

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Battle report due sometime tomorrow if all goes well... More losses than I would have wanted but those Mamluks sure are pests... If it wasn't for them, it would have been a walk in the park...

Because of the Mamluks I lost Efstathios.. Just like you said.. If it wasn't for them, it would have been a walk in the park and perhaps Efstathios would be still alive.

[_Tristan_]

Yeah... Those maces are

[Warmaster Horus]

Well, at least this time Nikiphoros can't do anything...

Edit: alone, that is. We'll see how the other Senators react.

[_Tristan_]

Catch me if you can (to quote Di Caprio...)

[Warmaster Horus]

Unfortunately Nikiphoros isn't affiliated with the FBI (or rather IBI - Imperial Bureau of Investigation)...

[Privateerkev]

Due to the massive scale of the event, and the fact that 18000 florins just made it's way into the Imperial Treasury, I am going to assume Mak has IC knowledge of the sacking.

[_Tristan_]

No problem.. It is all up in the battle report but the number of casualties has been edited out...

You can fool me once...

[Privateerkev]

You can fool me once...

And I can compare saves...

[AussieGiant]

And I can compare saves...

But OOC

And I'm an area controller in the IBI.

So that's great news guy's.

[_Tristan_]

Who says Methodios will allow any Census Board people in Cairo ?

[Privateerkev]

The exact number might not be known but I believe I would know about a "rough estimate." That city was 22000 before and is now 19000. So, around 3000 were killed. It is difficult to do that in total secret.

Maybe if you were in Arquin or the New World...

I think it is not a huge leap of imagination to assume that we would know that Methodios killed "thousands."

[_Tristan_]

I know, I know...

But let's just say they've been relocated....







...to the cemetery

That reminds me of this from South Park:

Jewish Kid: Is anyone else having problems concentrating on this? I just can't seem to concentrate.
Cartman: Maybe we should send you to a concentration camp.

[Ferret]

You better hope no-one here is Jewish PK...

[TinCow]

South Park is equally offensive to all peoples, that's what makes it so great.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Well.. What would Vissa say when he hears that Cairo is claimed by Methodios. Vissa is still the 'Lord of Cairo' methinks. Will we see Civil War soon?

[_Tristan_]

Vissa lost it to the rebels... whatever the game says... Methodios remained Lord of Zagreb long after he sold it to the Hungarians

Anyway, with Visa looking from the source of the Nile, I can imagine Methodios meeting Vissa some years from now : "Doctor Ek Lesvou, I presume ?"

[TinCow]

2.2 – Gaining and Losing Provinces: Except as stated in Rule 2.7, Senators gain control of all provinces they personally conquer. In the event that multiple Senators are part of the conquering army, the Senator controlled by the player who actually fought the battle is considered the conqueror. If the battle is autoresolved, the commanding Senator is considered the conqueror. If no Senator is involved in the battle whatsoever, the Basileus is considered the conqueror. At the start of the game, TinCow will determine which Senators receive control of the starting provinces, to a maximum of one province per Senator. Senators can only lose control of one of their provinces if they voluntarily give it to another Senator, if it is conquered by an AI faction, or if it is occupied by the army of a Senator who has made a Declaration of War against them (See Section 5).

Vissa did indeed lose it due to the above rule. Methodios Tagaris is the current owner of Cairo.

[Ramses II CP]

Err, if Vissa is still Lord of Cairo that's a bug. The title should poof when the city rebels.

Plus Vissa is waaaay down in his own crud at the moment, and likely won't even notice Cairo was retaken.

[TinCow]

The game doesn't remove the titles when the city is lost. I did that manually for Zagreb. I'll change the Cairo one next time I take the save.

[Cecil XIX]

Err, if Vissa is still Lord of Cairo that's a bug. The title should poof when the city rebels.

Not at all. Vissa keeps the thing to simulate the fact that multiple factions can have claims to the same province.

[_Tristan_]

Next thing I will steal from Ramses, will be his Egypt smiley... Seems fitting...

[Smowz]

Who do I request to change a title holder over - or can I do it myself when I am in a province?

[_Tristan_]

It is either Tincow or you can do it yourself if you're in the same province and both the person holding it and you are in agreement over who should hold the title...

If I understood correctly what you're asking...

If yuo have any doubts, asking TC is your best bet...

[Ferret]

I think it says in the rules somewhere that you can do it yourself, you don't need to be in the same province if you are familiar with the console, there are even instructions on how to switch titles by console in the how to be a Megas guide. This is assuming you have permission from the person to have that province, or if someone else currently holds your rightful title of course.
