    Hardly unless the King and his boatloads of troops have arrived already. I'll be able to play my save later on today.

    I only just discovered the rule about catapults not being allowed to attack stone walls. That means I broke the rules when I assaulted Gloucester with catapults. Should replay the save or what?

    No, Gloucester is English. I think we should wind it back and replay. It's Zim's call as admin though...and luckily it's his turn.

    Too far away (in turns) and way too few troops. This war will be won or lost before then.

    England's up!

    As i said in the PM, I'm fine with it if I am allowed the same advantage. If not, then i'd like to rewind because I left that one stack of units there on purpose to slow the attacking army. Right now he can just continue on to Oxford or wherever while otherwise he'd be sitting there for one more turn, building rams.

    I'm happy with that solution. If Myth prefers we replay, then I'm happy to do that too, although it might be a bit unfair, seeing as I would know not to do some moves which I did originally.

    I've explained to Zim that dropping the catapult rule would benefit me more than wales, so i think it best to do a redo. I would pretty much do things the same way again.

    ultimately it is your decision Myth, but we could also have the admin give control of Gloucester back to you and move iggy's army.

    Actually I don't think that console command works in M2TW. At least I haven't been able to change settlement ownership using it in the past. Best to replay I think.

    thats right ti doesn't, although they could move iggy's troops out, put myths right next to it, and let him recapture, but just replaying will probably be better.

    The only thing I could lose is the 4 star general I was allowed to adopt I think.. Can't remember when I got him, he was a beast though! I hope it was 2 turns ago.

    For what it's worth, I'd probably prefer allowing the catapults to hit stone walls, but whatever the decision, we need to keep the game moving.

    Zim was saying the same thing. I think on reflection the combined restrictions do disadvantage the smaller factions by making quick strikes almost impossible. I'd be happy to vote in favour of relaxing something in the rules if there's a move to do so.

    At this point we've already been playing the current rules for a bit. I'd say just do the rollback and get this game going again.
