Re: PBM Campaign BI.
Ok now I know your all going to be mad but I couldn't do the PBM. Every time i tried to instal that bug fixer thing it wouldn't let me do it for some reson so I can only do PBM on normal BI unless some one can help me with the downloads and all that.

Re: PBM Campaign BI.
so, in your PM you said you couldnt find any trace of it on your pc, but bugfixer only replaces a few files, and backs those up before installing.
If you have installed bug fixer, and it says its installed, just play the save and see what happens.
best of luck.

Re: PBM Campaign BI.
And do you think you can finish the PBM this weekend ?
If not, I'll to send it to the one next in line.
In order to finally finish it.
Re: PBM Campaign BI.
To avoid more hold up your probably best sending it to the next person in line till I get it sorted. Oh and sorry for the hold up.

Re: PBM Campaign BI.
Well, to bad you can't play Tibilicus, though next time, I would appreciate it if you'd be able to post sooner, also the latter is for other players in general, not just directed at you
Anyway, I've PMed Destroyer of Hope, since he is next in line.
'Hopefully he'll be able to finish it this weekend, and post the write up right after that.

Sorry but i have been busy and can't play.

Re: PBM Campaign BI.
Ok, well then I myself will pick it up.
To finish it.

cheers.
Re: PBM Campaign BI.
Have finished my turn.
The write up should be posted tomorrow evening ( Dutch TIme ).
SInce I'm out the rest of the night.
Also : *Bump* ;)
Re: PBM Campaign BI.
Ok, we have a major problem, the PBM upload directory seems to be hacked ! :

Re: PBM Campaign BI.
Sorry to be cloging up this thread with my own posts...
but , Tosa dealt with the wannabee NAzi hacker, so the PBM upload is fixed.
I've yet to upload it, have all ready by tomorrow night.
thanks.
Re: PBM Campaign BI.
I am pleased to announce that the PBM is finished, and I have posted the write up for my last short reign in the write up thread.
I want to thank everyone who showed enthusiasm at the idea of this PBM.
And also my thanks to the participants, for their dedication and great write ups:
Tincow and Simon Appleton
Re: PBM Campaign BI.
Well done, Dutch_guy! To paraphrase the A-team, I love it when a good PBEM comes together!
Re: PBM Campaign BI.
That writeup is a really fun read. Nice work, all!
Re: PBM Campaign BI.
I'm up for another one if anyone else is. RTW, BI, mod, whatever... I'll do anything.
Re: PBM Campaign BI.
Yes, me too. At the moment, I have three versions of RTW on my computer - the current vanilla one with BI, RTR and EB. I am currently focussed on EB right now but there are too many CTDs to recommend a PBM with it right now. I like RTR a lot and it would be fun to do a PBM with that mod. Otherwise, there are a lot of BI factions we have not covered.Originally Posted by TinCow
But I think we should aim for another two, ideally four plus, players to sign up to make it worthwhile.
Re: PBM Campaign BI.
I don't fully understand the PBMs but I'm interested in joining one. Particuliarly in a Barbarian Invasion one.
Edit: I'd also be interested in an original Rome: Total War or RTR PBM also.

Re: PBM Campaign BI.
I'll join in last run was a lot of fun.
And TinCow you should start a new thread - dedicated solely to the new PBEM.
EB would be my suggestion, haven't experienced any CDTs so far in my Roman campaign.
As for RTR, liked the mod a lot, but quit after playing v. 6.0 to death.
So I'd prefer EB, or just plain RTW BI.

Re: PBM Campaign BI.
Well, we could try EB: I would definitely participate. But there is a big caveat emptor. It is around 243 in my Roman EB campaign and it is absolutely brilliant. But it is also near unplayable. I am having daily CTDs, which get very frustrating when you have to refight a battle, win spectacularly again and then be rewarded with another CTD! Dutch_guy, just out of interest, what year are you on in your Rome campaign? Divinus Arma had to abandon his after CTDs.
We might be able to pull it off, but if my experience is anything to go by, players may have be creative and get around CTDs by reloading and varying their previous turn, sometimes not loading scripts and sometimes using autoresolve.

Re: PBM Campaign BI.
I am at most 8 years in the game, not far in I know - darn CIv4.
And I haven't experienced any game breaking CTD's thank god, so if I have the time I'll continue my campaign, though school and CIv4 may - read : most certainly will - hinder me.
Re: PBM Campaign BI.
It's been ages since I participated in a PBEM and you guys set the (write-up) standards really high with your last Eastern Roman PBEMbut nevertheless I would like to join this PBEM... If if if... (time - which mod etc etc).
I'll keep an eye on this thread and will confirm my (un)availability when you decided which mod/faction/difficulty setting you'll play.
Re: PBM Campaign BI.
I would also recommend against EB: not only does the number of CTD's vary highly amongst different computers, there also many glitches, oversights and things-not-working-as-intended. I suggest waiting at least until the EB team releases their patch before playing an EB-PBM.

Re: PBM Campaign BI.
I think using BI with the latest patch is the best way to go.
Re: PBM Campaign BI.
Good luck guys, I really enjoyed reading your ERE game. I wish I could play but I am new to RTW so probably would lose your empire on a harder setting lol. But yeah, good luck and I cant wait to read your end product.
Re: PBM Campaign BI.
That would add a nice dimension to the game as the next player will then have to fight to strengthen the empire again. That's the nice part of a PBM (plus: everyone's always asking for harder campaigns, so...)
Why don't you just join?
Re: PBM Campaign BI.
My vote goes for something more challenging like the Seleucid Empire or one of the non-hordeable barbarian factions in BI like the Celts or the Alemanni.
Re: PBM Campaign BI.
I've played the Celts, didn't find them to be a challenge...quite easy actually, only the very beginning of the game is a little hard ( Romano-British invasion ) but after that Western Europe is yours to plunder as much as you like.

Re: PBM Campaign BI.
Ok, let's do RTW or BI and do one of the more minor factions. Alemanni sound good to me, but like I said I'm open to pretty much anything.
Re: PBM Campaign BI.
OK, reading the recent posts in this thread, I think there is sufficient interest in a new PBM BI campaign. I agree with Dutch_guy and second his idea that TinCow choose a faction - say Alemanni or whatever - and open a new thread to set out the groundrules and sign up players on a first come, first served basis.
If TinCow wants someone else to oversee the campaign and/or take the first 10 years, I'd be happy to do so or we could find other experienced volunteers. But as TinCow first raised the issue and did a great job on the last PBM, I think it would be good if he took the lead this time.
Re: PBM Campaign BI.
yes, sounds good.
Also I'd prefer not to take the first reign - just because I did it last time.
If that becomes a problem, and Judging from Simon's response it won't, then I'd be happy to help out and take it anyway.
