Looks like I'm going to have to buy Kingdoms at last, eh?

Is LTC Gold compatible with the Steam version of Kingdoms anyone?

Evidently you can, as the LTC installation instructions say "If you have Steam you will need to use the Medieval II Launcher to run the mod."

The key is the add_money console command. Aside from giving each player a 'King's Purse' all the income and expenses will be what they are in the game, so as long as I know what they *should* be at the start of each turn I can make it so, without having to worry about the inscrutable methods that Medieval II uses.

Good, so if I don't get a chance to pick up a copy at a retail joint I can always just use steam. Count me in then.

Hmmm...count me in for the test.

Count me in as well

Excellent, we've got five people! This is the most number of people we can accomodate at the beginning, so we're going to be playing as the Kingdom of France in the early era campaign. You all can go and reserve one of the starting generals now, with the exception that I've reserved King Philip Capet for myself.

As a matter of fact, (sorry for the double post, but I want people to know there's new information without viewing the thread) I'm going to post the save we'll be starting with.

Vassals&Valor-1080

Even though I haven't posted the rules yet, once you reserve an avatar you can use this save to look at the starting situation and determine you how you want to spend your money et. cetera.

The avatar you chose will start with the settlement he is in and all the soldiers in his stack. So remember that the amount of money you gain at the start of the next turn will be equal to the income of your city minus the upkeep of your troops, plus 250 bonus florins. (750 if you're the prince). You all start with 1000 florins in your treasury, except for the first person to reserve the Prince. He gets 2000.
