Sorry about the delay... I'm relaesing the save as is... No time to play it right now

[The Celtic Viking]

Taking the save.

Edit: no, I'm not. For some reason, something screws up when I try to download it, so I can't get it.

[_Tristan_]

Taking save (for good this Time and provided i manage the DL)

EDIT : Damn... That save is corrupted...

[Cecil XIX]

Sorry about that, here is the new save. The turn has been extended to 48 hours from this post.

New link but same results... I think you should rename the file, Cecil, or use an alternate uploader...

[Zim]

Works for me. Taking the save. I'll try uploading it to a couple places just in case.

[Zim]

Besieged Ragusa, spied around, and merged with some men of the Prinz's by permission (or rather, they merged with my army).

Uploaded in two spots just to be safe.

Taking save

EDIT : save is back.. Nothing chyanged... My computer crashed when I was two minutes from finishing the defenders of Milan... I even had some nice screenshots in the fog...

I'm pretty cursed this turn...

Will have to get back to this later

[The Celtic Viking]

In that case, I'll see if I can get it this time.

[The Celtic Viking]

Did a few things. My spy infiltrated Stettin and revealed that the Polish king was present there with a garrison that Theodericus could take care of. Unfortunately, the Pope's threat of excommunication if he attacked stayed the Margrave's hand. Instead, he stayed put, retrained and expanded his army in Magdeburg while sending the Bohemian regiments to Prague for the same.

He also (finally) started raising one cavalry regiment for the Osterreich. They will be ready to leave Magdeburg next turn, and should be entirely paid for by the Prinz as agreed.

Finally I put a grain exchange into the building queue of Prague for 1000 florins.

Here's the save.

Taking save (for good I hope...)

Save is back... Took longer than I thought but I had to fight two battles in a row

Milan has fallen to the forces of Provence... Northern Italy is unified under one rule. (No men from Prinz Leopold's army were used or harmed in the assault... They joined the battle as reinforcements but as I had control over them I let them stand by the sideline). Only 6 men of Prinz Lothar's army have been lost in the assault.

8635 florins were discovered in the merchant council coffers and added to the Principality's treasury in Genoa. A further ransom of 300 fl. was rejected.

Genoa has also been freed of the Venetian threat though at a greater cost. A ransom of some 1900 fl. was rejected by the Venetians. Genoa has gained the named of "Crown of Swords" for it is now crowned by two heroic victory markers...

Need to do some editing on pics and I'll be sure to post a few here and do a battle report this time around, though it will have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest.

The Butcher's bills :

Also I moved 3 units of Town militia from Marseille to Genoa, though they couldn't reach it this turn and recruited one more unit of TM in Genoa for 279 fl and retrained one unit of Merc Xbow for 122 fl.

EDIT: here it is

The Prinz and his army enters the city of Genoa and declares war on Lothar Zirn, forcing him to fight for his life.

Taking the save.

Save

Wilhemus Von Madgeburg is moving to support Elberhard.

[Nightbringer]

taking the save
nevermind for now.

Could I please have a report of what the Reichsmarashal's current funds are. I am looking to build a force for the defense of the Reich from various provinces but do not know the funds available to me.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I have the save and will attempt to get it done after I've taken a nap. Just did a whole 3.5 hours worth of host-related duties. Sincere apologies for the delay.

[Nightbringer]

no problem, I can't do it till i know how much money I have. I'm fine with doing the math but I don't know how much the position had when I took it over.

[phonicsmonkey]

I didn't realise the turn was over either - I thought we'd fight the battle and then continue.

[Cecil XIX]

Here is the map at the start of the season of 1128.



Here are the announcements for this season:

• Enroute to Prague, Captain Athawolf's men were attacked by a Polish army. After some fighting they were able to retreat, but lost half their numbers. They have reorganized into one regiment and are now in Prague.
• A young nobleman named Ulrich von Bohmen has been offered as a daughter to the Imperial Princess Fridewiga. Regarding this decision, it should be noted that the Reich currently has no means with which to recruit diplomats.
• Representatives of the Thieves' Guild have come forth and offered to establish themselves as the preeminent guild in Milan.
• The Reich is seen ast eh most advanced realm in the world. No other realm can claim to have so rich a culture, or so many a wise scholar to further their people's greatness.
• The population of Marseille has now reacehd a point where it may be upgraded into a large town. This will open up new construction options, which in turn will lead to new recruitment options as well. To do this you must upgrade your wooden Palisade to a Wooden Wall. You do not have to do this immediately, but as teh population increases further, overcrowding will eventually start to increase squalor levels and slow down growth.
• You have greatly pleased His Holiness by refraining from hostile actions against your fellow Christians, the French. He only hopes this newfound peace will last.

In addition, here is the Financial Chart and Assets List.



Finally, here is the save. The turn will end on Saturday, April 26th, at 06:00 GMT.

Event Three: Rebellion, Again

Things have come to a head in Italy. Count Lothar Zirn, the rebel who has been making quite a name for himself, has at last come face to face with opposition in the form of Prince Leopold, whose march south to defeat the Milanese has now turned into something more.

Although Count Lothar was able to seize Milan in a daring nighttime raid, the close proximity of Prince Leopold told him that it was better to leave as quickly as he had arrived. After a round of looting and pillaging, he left and returned to Genoa. But Leopold was not one to dawdle either, and after leaving a skeleton garrision he continued onwards towards Genoa as well, vowing that Lothar would finally be brought to justice.

Although Lothar arrived at Genoa first, the city was under the suzerainity of the Kaiser after he invoked his privalege at the last Diet. As a result, he was unable to compel the local garrison to prevent Prince Leopold from entering the city as well. Now that both forces are present, a battle seems inevitable.

But at what cost? Milan is much weakened now to be sure, scattered between Navarra, Corsica and the Swiss Cantons. But Duke Giorgio is not yet beaten, and even now raises a new army in Bern. Innsbruck may fall once again. What's worse, the Venetians have already taken advantage and laid siege to Milan and it's skeleton garrison. Can the Reich afford this destructive conflict?

During this event, the rules will be modified in the following way:
Players who are at war no longer take the save as normal. Instead, those at war must PM the GM with their orders each turn, including recruitment, construction, movement etc. The GM will implement the orders simultaneously at the end of the turn, and PM the partcipants the results.

[phonicsmonkey]

The link to the save doesn't work I'm afraid.

Sorry I'm such a n00b but how does this work now? Do I need to pm you something other than "I attack Lothar Zirn" to get things rolling?

[The Celtic Viking]

Taking the save.

[The Celtic Viking]

New save is here.

Did some retraining and moved out the cavalry for Jens Herden under captain Jonas. They are now outside of Nuremberg, and until a time comes when I feel I need to recall them, I will hand over the control to Prinz Leopold, or anyone else he would prefer.

[Nightbringer]

taking the save

[Nightbringer]

The Reichsmarshall has recruited one unit of spear militia (320) in Budapest with the permission of himself, leaving his funds at 2459.

Jens Herden has trained one unit of town militia at Budapest (310) and hired one unit of mercenary crossbowmen (860). This leaves his funds at 1519.

Jens Herden has also donated 1 unit of mercenary crossbowmen and 1 unit of spear militia to the army of the Reichsmarshall and consolidated the troops of both his positions in the city of Budapest.

(the town militia belongs to Jens Herden, the rest is the Reichsmarshall.)

here is the save, although I will need it later after I get replies in the diet.

Taking save with gm permission

https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/local...id=205&id=8996

Moved a spy, took Zagreb. Sacked it for 2263 florins, 1131 for the Marshall. Also recruited Some Dismounted Knights for 790 with my share. I'll happily take income from Zagreb this turn as well as Elberhard's settlement of Innsbruck if we're doing that "Kaiser has to claim the province for it to count" thing.
