RPG anyone?

I'm up for SS as well. Perhaps just with RR and Longer Assimilation, and leaving BGR out? It has a steep learning curve and doesn't really benefit RPing all that much. The Admin can just create/move some enemy stacks to make it harder for us.

Also, fast-forwarding would be great with RR on. Oherwise say hi to 180 turns of spear militia and peasant archers. Perhaps using one of the WotK saves Monkey has? Though those have the Ai scripts disabled and that's going to make the AI suck.

I can fast-forward a game for you if Monkey tells me how to make it stop at the year 1280 or something.

The only way to stop it at a particular year is to set one of the emergent factions to human control so the game stops when they are spawned. Mongols and TO are around the same time, Timurids later.

Otherwise it's just guesswork - logging into the console while the wheel is spinning and setting a random faction to human control so the game stops and you can check the year.

Sure, it should create some interesting situations. Let it stop at whatever random year, send me the save, and I will take a look and decide the faction and draft some rules.

Just make sure it is a hotseat game as I intend to control some of the other factions. Also, you will have to tell me how to change or set the admin password for the console as I have never done that before.

The admin password is set in the preferences file and is fixed once you start the game (ie. it cannot be subsequently changed)

So for security reasons it would be best for you to try to set it up yourself (otherwise someone else would know your console pw) - it's very easy and there's a step-by-step guide in the FAQ thread.

Then you'd just start a hotseat with one human faction, then switch that faction to Ai control using the console and the game will start to run in autopilot until you stop it by logging in and switching any faction to human control.

Let me know if you need help with anything.

Sounds easy enough, I will do it tomorrow night. I shouldn't use up my time on it before my finals tomorrow.
