What's the unused way points?

[mini]

Only Maion is allowed to use move per console :)

[Hotseat_User]

ahh well, the he will send his dancer with some briefing if he's on the way thank you guys, just misread the article where Maion responded to my first questions.

What's the unused way points?

I meant the green to red to blue? to yellow? moving range on the campaignmap.

[mini]

he means move points Bean, the amount of distance a char can travel each turn ;)

[The Celtic Viking]

Hey dad, what about making me Heir?
You wont let your older brother, who bullied you when you were kids, let inherit everything you worked so hard for?

I think you will find his big bro helped him in his early years. He would never have become the wonderous leader he is without the help support and guidance his elder sibling supplied.

If you guys can't stop fighting about it I think it's only fair if everyone gets to be the heir.

[everyone]

thanks!

I think it's only fair if everyone gets to be the heir.

i didn't know the game engine allowed for multiple heirs at same time?


























Lame I know.

[HunGeneral]

I would have a question: how those this "upload save" work? I know you're supposed to make the save availeable to all players but how do you do that in the forums? (never did before...)

PBM Uploader

So we can't take part in Synedrion discussions if we aren't actually in Pella?

Also, for Hotseat User: EBPBM etiquette for taking a save is to only take it if you really need to, and try to post the new save within an hour so other players can get their move in.

[Maion Maroneios]

Antigonos will roger whatever Antigonos wants to, so you'd better be careful what you say! He might wake up one day and decide that Antipatros' life is expendable.

While I understand this was meant as a joke, I want to make something clear. There was, historically, a major difference between Hellenistic rulers of the East (Seleukeia, Aigyptos) and Makedonian Basileis. The former were considered above human, even deified sometimes. The Proskynesis (an act of worship) was frequently utilized by subjects of Eastern Hellenistic monarchs. In Makedonia, that concept was alien and frowned upon. The Basileus was considered equal in the eyes of the people, and was also addressed in a much more casual way than you would address, say, the Basileus of the Seleukeis.

Anyway, just wanted to point this out since you might confuse your job a bit with your title in WotB.

So we can't take part in Synedrion discussions if we aren't actually in Pella?

If your avatar is too far away from Pella, he won't be able to participate, no. Though he can send a representative. So basically if you can come up with a name for your representative in case of your absense from Pella, it's ok.

Oh yes and something else guys: please, mini and Beanerz, keep this stuff between you. We don't have to share this, really.

[Maion Maroneios]

Guys, a minor correction on a mistake on my part: The Arche-part of the Kataskopos and Proxenos, should be changed to a "iota" (i) instead of the "e". So it has to be Archikataskopos and Archiproxenos respectively.

Maion

[mini]

will do, but this is the ooc thread right? Expect some more pointless rambling in this topic in the future :p

[Maion Maroneios]

This isn't WotB neither BtSH, so it isn't an OOC. But if you mean like one, I suppose so.

Maion

[Maion Maroneios]

@ Beanerz: Saw you added the Dioiketes part to your character in the PD thread. Actually, you have no legitimate position, so you basically have no title (yet). The upcoming Synedrion is going to set more titles and generally sort several things out.

Maion

[/Bean\]

No problem. Did I forget to put a question mark? I just didn't know what my rank was, and then I had to go back to work so I havent done anymore to my SOT. So I'm a member of the Royal Family-is that considered my rank for the moment?

[Maion Maroneios]

You could add that, ok.

Maion

[Hotseat_User]

hey ho, I'm probably not at home till tomorrow early evening (CET) so if you want to progress, just move my char to one of the 100% citys in asia minor.
See you , H_U;

[TinCow]

How many threads do you guys expect this game to eventually generate?

[/Bean\]

Counting or discounting polls?

[Iskander 3.1]

If we have an election every year, then probably quite a few.

p.s. Are you going to join us, Mr. Cow?

[/Bean\]

TC's just retired from active PBMing

[TinCow]

Counting or discounting polls?

Counting. All threads created for the game, regardless of their purpose.

p.s. Are you going to join us, Mr. Cow?

Regrettably, no. I'm kind of burned out on PBMs at the moment and can't even summon up the will-power to do my write-up for the ETW successor PBM. I'll probably jump back into the games later this year once I'm feeling inspired again.

[/Bean\]

I can't answer for Maion, but I'd guess quite a few. It already looks very popular, and there may be voting every 4 turns, so more polls than some other games I imagine. Enough threads for a *cough*, sub forum..

[The Celtic Viking]

Am I supposed to start the first session now, or are we still waiting for something? I'm a little unsure, by the way, about my opening speech. I suppose I should address the "Pyrrhos outside of Pella" situation and the KH nuisance, but what else is there that I have missed? As it seems important that I don't miss anything important, I want to check here this first time.

I have also understood it that I as the Basileus decide the length of the session on my own. Is that correct?

[mini]

You missed the feather dancers at court in Corinth. Quite distasteful, it should be halted.

[/Bean\]

And my promotion.

Nah but seriously. You should, not introduce, but set up each of the characters, so that each knows what he's doing and where he's going. Your the king, so give orders, rather than let people decide what they want to do, and then have them sat around doing nothing because they havent got anything to do.

And I think we should discuss in here what our policies on capturing cities should be, and on the spawning of armies. I would prefer not to let any factions be destroyed utterly, because it stops any future rise of them. We shouldn't expand too quickly, and maybe do more raids on cities than actually capturing them all the time. What's everyone else's view?

[mini]

The greeks are too treacherous, they must be destroyed!

[/Bean\]

They should at the very least retain Sparta, and we should (if they don't rebel to them anyway) give them Byzantion, Rhodes (I know), Crete, Thermon to represent the independent Greek states. Then it at least gives us an enemy to fight later rather than just the Eleutheroi, who everyone knows the problems with.

[Hotseat_User]

mhh nice idea Bean, but me for myself, I just think we should push them out of hellas and then feed them to further greatness ... well at least in asia minor, at sicilly or some where. but you got the point. - then we would blitz something. but I don't know, how the money thing is handled in PBMs, I just can't get out of debt without blitzing one other faction (Ep/Mak/KH)
Well to the ingame suggestions, my char has recently received some precisious informations. But will there be a own synedron-thread?

edit: found the synedron thread, but for the FD-minimod, is version 1.0 working for EB1.2 aswell?
