- You have 24hrs to complete your turn. If you are more then 24hrs late without notification Your turn will be skipped.
-Being Late repeatedly will result in removal from the campaign.-Arrange a sub if you are going to be more then 24hrs late. Otherwise the turn will be skipped or subbed very quickly by an admin, do not expect a lot of time to be spent on your turn if it is left up to the admin.
-Once you have been skipped/subbed it is final and we will move on to the next turn, do not ask to replay if you don't like the results.
- No exploits/bugs allowed. F.e. Besieging a settlement to deny reinforcements, movement bug, merchant stack/fort, agent stomping, surrounding armies/navies to deny retreat, armies on ships to go through enemy zone of control (brown tiles where armies should stop), spies spreading plague, abandoning settlements so you may sack them repeatedly.. ect
- If you are discovered using an exploit/bug/cheat of any kind then you will be removed from the HotSeat. So if you think what you are doing might be considered an exploit then confirm with the Admin before posting your turn. Military rules

Screenshots must be posted with: odds and result screens, mouse over the odds bar to show the ratio, the armies involved with their banners visible on the campaign map, unit card of siege unit (ballista/catapult) must be visible if used to directly assault settlement.
-No screenshot is required for battles with AI factions - Armies that are defeated in battle by a player that comes after them in the turn list may not move the following turn.

yessir the black line is the border. All factions outside the border have been destroyed. Byzantium and Genoa had a settlement outside the border so those were also turned over to the rebels. the General+units stationed in those settlements were moved to a settlement inside the border so their mainland has been re-enforced while they have lost a distant settlement. I think the Ai and rebel settlements that remain within the border should create a nice early buffer between players. HRE is AI so I am sure everyone is going to want a piece of that pie
Well, took the venice save to see if i installed the next heir submod correctly. Turns out i didn't. When i try to start the game with that save, i get a ctd. Can someone explayn step by step how the mod is installed and what files it takes?
Next Heir Install instructions.
1. Download http://www.twcenter.net/forums/attac...9&d=1429894983
2. Extract it to your SS6.4 folder and overwrite
3. Download http://www.twcenter.net/forums/attac...2&d=1429895521
4. Open the file and extract: export_descr_ancillaries.txt into the following path: Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\SS6.3\data
5. Open the Late Era folder and extract: export_ancillaries.txt into following path: Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\SS6.3\data\text
6. Run SS_setup and check the next heir box in the SS settings window as shown in the OP
Quite a hassle for a little "extra". Not something I would normally include in a HS, but it is what was requested from the creator of the HS.

A replacement for Poland will be found. I would rather remove Teutonic order and keep Portugal and Poland playable, if it even comes down to removing a faction. But let's not get ahead of ourselves yet Lot's of time before Poland's turn is up... unless ppl start playing at an unusually fast pace..
It has become a bit of a trend for Veterans lately to join a HotSeat just to drop out once it is ready to go. Usually because they don't like a rule or an agent limitation, the map or another player... blahh blahhh blahh. My two children aren't even as picky at dinner time as some folks here are about their HotSeats.

Idk, i tried the save too, but it doesn't work, even though the next heir crown submod works in single player. I'll re-download it and try it again. Will see if it's ok.
Yep, I tried as well. When I load the save, the game crashes before it finishes loading. Unspecified error.
Could it be because of the way factions were disabled? Using the steam version. I'm able to load previous hotseats for other campaigns just fine so I don't believe its my installation.
I strongly believe this has something to do with the edit to the AI factions/map changes and not the mod. If removing the mod solves the issue then we should go ahead and do that to just get started but I think we need to add the changes Macrath made to all of our SS files.
If I'm not mistaken I think Macrath may have only used the console to make the map, so the usual SS 6.4 data should be fine with the hotseat file.
Kolu, you seem to have downloaded next heir before starting this hotseat, so yours should be downloaded properly, could you try opening the file to see if it works for you, if it does then that just means everyone else didn't properly install next heir, if not, then the problem is elsewhere.
