OOC Thread and Chatroom 2

Seems that I'm having some trouble installing Med 2. Anyway I'm glad my province is out the way and my character is gone. Now I can start afresh. As soon as I get my Medieval 2 working I would like to be spawned in Trebizond. (sp?)

Edit: Saw that TC already made me a few characters in Thessalonica. No worrys, will change my plan.

Trebizond is not a problem. I was planning on teleporting your character to your chosen destination anyway, and it's very easy to do. Just don't take the save next turn until after you pick and I move your avatar.

[Dafuge]

OK, cool.

Edit: Sorry I've changed my mind again, can you please move my character to Alexandria once you have spawned the characters.

Double Edit: I've got Medi 2 working and set up on the LotR mod thing so I'm good to go. I'll just be waiting for TC to move my character to Alexandria and I'm done.

[Ignoramus]

Just a note that I won't be online again until Friday, so please conduct all negotiations concerning the Basileus with AussieGiant.

AG also has permission to move Ioannis, which is stated in my SOT.

[gibsonsg91921]

Wow! Some crazy stuff here.

[Dafuge]

OK I'm assuming the new RBG are in Thessalonica. If so I choose Efthymios ek Herakliou. Can you zip him to Alexandria and dellete the other guy. I'm assuming I can start playing him straight away?

[AussieGiant]

Just a quick brain check.

Who's Dafuge again?

[Dafuge]

I'm KoP or Knights_of_Palma. I think I played Stavros of the Order.

[AussieGiant]

Thanks for the clarification Dafuge.

I will move Efthymios and kill the others off now.

[Smowz]

When I saw you had taken the save I thought someone was using an hashashin already

[Zim]

WOOHOO !! Zim is back !!

Great to see you back, Zim.

For Flemish Cloth!

Thanks guys.
For Flemish Cloth!

[_Tristan_]

Contrary to my expectations, I won't be able to take my M2TW capable with me on my work trip so I won't be able to access the game in the next three weeks (should be back on Hallow's Eve)...

I might be able to check on forums from time to time but there is nothing sure.

Keep up the fight, guys...

I was planning renaming Medina to honor the fallen Annios Solomon, any suggestions?

[Dafuge]

Solomon's Tomb

[ULC]

Solomon's Tomb

Seeing as your going to be getting it, you sure that's appropriate?

[Dafuge]

Not really, but it's a funny idea.

[OverKnight]

I'd think it would be a nice touch in the game if when you change the name of the city unrest rises by 5 - 10% for 10 turns or so. I know if someone marched into Somerville MA, plundered it and then renamed it A-rodia or something, I'd be a bit miffed.

[Dafuge]

Would you riot and kill the towns garrison?

Edit: Have updated my SoT.

[flyd]

Um, Medina is a holy city for the Muslims. I think all of them would be pissed, never mind the residents in that city. I fear you have just given TC an excuse...

[deguerra]

ok kids,

I know I've been rather silent the past couple of weeks, as I've been incredibly busy with uni since I came back from Germany. I was actually considering pulling out temporarily for a bit, but I think the worst is over.

I'm very sorry for all those PMs I haven't or have only half-heartedly answered, I will try to get back to everyone. What with my son coming of age, my daughter apparently having a suitor (will check him out presently) and all the more important changes I think its time to get Ioannis back on track.

This new found resolve may waver during my exam period, in about four weeks, but that should only be a temporary setback.

[Dafuge]

Is there anyway to change the name of retinues, because I want to change the Duke of Medina or whatever it is to Duke of Solomeia?

[TinCow]

Only by modding, which I'm not prepared to do for city titles since they can change regularly.

[Dafuge]

No problem then.

Ramses I owe you for the retinue transfer.

[TinCow]

With the current Megas term approaching its end, I would like to do two things.

First, I want to give huge praise to Smowz for handling the job so superbly. It has been a long time since we had a Megas term pass so smoothly, at least on an OOC basis.

Second, I would like to ask for general comments on how the changes to the army system are working. How do you like it? Do you understand it? Is it working well? Are the PUs easy to keep track of? Are the number of PUs available to the various ranks properly balanced? Any and all comments are welcome, and please do suggest ways the system can be improved further.

[gibsonsg91921]

So many posts! The 20 pages only OOC threads... relics from a more civilized age.

[Dafuge]

TinCow,

I find the current system way more easier to understand and I definatly want it to stay, though I would like an admiral or something similar.

[Ramses II CP]

No problem then.

Ramses I owe you for the retinue transfer.

I believe Rowan did the transfer for you actually. I've had to muddle in the console before, but I'm no good at it.

I'm very pleased with the system. We're still shaking a few of the not-instantly-obvious bits out, but it's been done completely without OOC difficulties which speaks to the simplicity of the system. Once the war breaks out, presuming there will be one, we'll give it a real shakedown test and see how things fall out.

[Ituralde]

I also like the system overall!

Concerning the numbers of units available, I don't know if we weren't a bit too successful. Right now it seems a tad too easy to become completely autonomous on PUs. My feeling right now is that the Megas isn't that important anymore. But maybe that'll change once you only get peasants for your PUs. So just a hunch of mine that we should keep looking at those numbers and maybe adjust them later.

[Dafuge]

OK then, Rowan I owe you.
