Broken Crescent TWC Campaign (01-14-08)

[Armatus]

LIST UPDATED!!!!

[Rodrico Stak]

I believe after this patch is avaiable to download we shall wait one or two days so players have time to test it.

Works quite well for me.

Is the Chajun (sp..) rajputs doing anyting?

Is the Chajun (sp..) rajputs doing anyting?

Can't say - I had to start a new campaign for it to take effect, and Khwarezim is a bit far from India. However, they did conclude an alliance with the Solanki Rajputs, which I haven't seen them do before.

[Empedocles]

so... we are ready to go?

[barcamartin]

I would love to get started the next few days. Has everybody signed up, akvillon ? If not, perhaps we should set some sort of deadline, to get this party started.

[Rodrico Stak]

Can I switch from the Solanki Rajputs to the Turkish Sultanate, please?

I second this idea!

[Aetius]

Lol no one wants to be the Turkish sultanate...
They always get owned by ERE, ironic, it should be the other way around.

[Armatus]

Do you want to give it one more week or Start as soon as everyone has downloaded 1.05?

[Poqzt]

The new patch is good enough to get this game going, so let's start as soon as possible.

Btw Armatus, don't forget to send me your config.

[Rodrico Stak]

No one seems to have noticed, makes sense due to the number of new posts afterwards:

Most of us have probably donwloaded it already, and if anyone haven't, they better donwload it as soon as possible.

Rodrico, well of course you can (I believe...).

Hello everyone, I feel like I am missing something important here. I changed my bc.preferences and all that (checked read-only) and I cannot play hotseat campaigns.

I never have been able to.

Help?

version 1.05



And here is my preference file if someone can tell if there is something wrong with it. When I first opened it there was no [hotseat] section.

I just added it in all by myself so...

My bc prefs file:

Heya Aetius,
Yeah I had problems with that too at the beginning but I figured it out.
because BC is a mod of Vanilla M2TW and not Kingdoms like that of SS
you won't get the hot seat option.
However When you set the variable in the .cfg of multiplayer=true (like you seem to have already). you simply start the single player campaign
and it will ACT as if its hot seat (choose multipule kingdoms, password protect etc..)

Hope that helps.

[barcamartin]

Yeah Aetius, you just start a normal Grand Campaign, and at the faction selection you choose the factions that are going to be playing. So no Hotseat option in the Multiplayer menu

By the way, since I'm gonna be The Ayyubids, I'll be one of the first players to do my turn (I suppose) so it definitely would be best for the campaign if we could start this week (before Friday) because I'm going skiing next week, and probably won't be able to play at all. So as I said before, the next few days would be great !

[Aetius]

Thnx for the answers (repped, both of you). But this totally screws with single player...

Oh well, I will just change my preferences whenever I want to play BC by myself, which is not that often (no offense BC development team )

[Trajan]

I'm going to move this to the BC Multiplayer forum guys. I'll leave like a 2 week redirect so people know where to find it if they're interested.

[The King Of Peasants]

I saw the fuzz is crossed out as makuria so can I still join as them? I didn't even see this thread or I would have requested earlier.

[Rodrico Stak]

I seem to change my mind several times. Actually, when I said "Imamate of Oman", I didn't realize that the Turkish Sultanate was still available. Disregard what I said about switching to Oman, switch me to the Turkish Sultanate instead.

Edit: In fact, if I edit my previous posts, maybe I'll seem more consistent. I promise I won't change my mind again.
