[Ibn-Khaldun]

We could easily make it so that you'd have to have been inactive for a long time to "just come back and see you've had 10 assassination attempts on you". Like I suggested, we could make it so that you could only be the target of 1 attempt/8 turns, and that you can only order 1 attempt/12 turns or whatever. We could fine tune it to best effect.

Could someone do me a favour, though, and take a picture so you see the whole family tree, like Ibn did for the library? I can't see the whole tree myself, so I'd appreciate some help.

If the chances of killing an avatar stay low then it should be ok. If lower ranks have 1 attempts per full Chancellor term and higher ranks 2 then this should eliminate these "just come back and see you've had 10 assassination attempts on you" moments. Unsuccessful attempts should affect characters also (perhaps they can not be moved 1-2 turns because character is trying to find other assassins who could want to kill him).

This is just a suggestion but perhaps instead of one huuuge family tree we could have only one small with Basileus and his family and the second one with Heirs family. It took a looong time to put together that FT that you can see in the Library at the moment(there is no in-game button that could do it like that unfortunately)!

so what are we going to do about the capital? although I am quite happy to allow all the arches administrators enterance to our little "realm" (leavings another matter however)

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Capital should be moved now. This will cause a lot of problems in east. Also, capital can be moved but Sarpedon must be present in that city.

(10) Can move the Capital at any time, as long as the new Capital is controlled by the Basileus.

If people wanted to spice up this game then they have succeeded.

After the capital is moved by TCV then whoever(currently MerlinusCDXX) ends the turns should pay attention to towns that might rebel to Eleutheroi. They may cause CTD but they don't have to. Although, I think you all know that.

[MerlinusCDXX]

Good point, I-K, but I think I have a decent "tax margin" on most places east to prevent ctd-rebellions. But, for the love o' the gods, try to convince TCV to go to Edessa and make it the Capitol, cause if I have to severely lower taxes everywhere East of Susa, we r gonna be BROKE, lol.

Do I really have to be present in the city? Do I not control the settlements neither the rebels nor the satraps own well enough?

If not, you have no choice but to change it to Antiocheia for now. Please do so for me, because I can't be running away without my army in the middle of a civil war.

By the way, I want my hypaspistai trained! Please move them to Alexandreia and do it next time you take the save.

TCV, do you want me to reset the Capitol and send the Hypaspistai off to Alexandreia for retraining? I wasn't sure if you were talkin' to me or I-K. Are you still having the comp problems you mentioned a while ago, and unable to make your moves?

no hurry for the reply though, since I won't be taking the save for another 12 to 18 hours.

[everyone]

rather strange isn't it? a rebellion is supposed to cause a loss of income, but with around a full stack of units being a 'rebel army', it means the burden of upkeeping it is removed from the normal income, and the rest of the arche gets around 7k more mnai per season, than if there was no rebellion.
not that I don't like it.

[The Celtic Viking]

The irony is sweet, huh?

I can take the save and do moves myself, but not with the computer supposed for it. I'm using my laptop as a backup, and I don't want to take the save when I don't have to because of that. So, well, yes, please do that for me. I should've been more clear about it.

uhhhh, I am back. And god am I tired.... think I might sleep a few days, so library might take a while to get done. I now have a much greater respect for USA army officers....
apparently the first year at west point is like hell....

I wish we actually had a declaration, what are we going to say Join the rebellion we have no money and a huge army eating all our income!!!! heh... fun times, fun times...

[The Celtic Viking]

Hey, if you do it before Monday, could you take screenshots of the family tree? No need to make it into one picture, just so I can see who is where.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

yeah actually, as soon as MerlinusCDXX takes the save I will make my moves, take a few pics of the whole family tree (I will try and put it together, but I don't know). and get the library together. all rested up!
