Alright, fixed the problem and will send new file to Zender

[Lord Luka]

So it's my turn now to pick? Is there a save file to check the factions? Or may I know what will the turn order be?

[zender9]

Here it is, a test file to see turn order and changes.

Everything AR is the most fair I think, exploiting the battle AI in sieges is not skill

How is turning a losing situation into a winning situation not skill? You are saying skill is not capitalizing on the mistakes of an opponent?

[Mithridate]

What he is getting at is that it would give those of us whom know how to exploit/rape a massive advantage over those whom dont and that it would favor some factions more than others. I'd have 2 fortresses by turn 3 with hardly any losses along with 3 regions captured mostly for free.

Doing above is certainly a skill as you say, but it's too much advantage perhaps^^

[saleska2]

all AR pls. Some settlements are supposed to be rather hard to take, with manual battles this just has no meaning.

I choose Lithuania

You say skill is capitalizing on the crappy battle AI which does not know how to act in certain situations? I say thats AI exploitation and not a skill but we can have different opinions on that. Its staying AR anyway

It also is a HUUUGE huge huge huuuuge advantage over quite new players and since I know you can play the game well without exploiting the battle AI it is the fairest way to do and give the newbloods a fair fight. Wouldnt you agree?

[StOuFf]

Denmark has 24 hours to start the Game!

[zender9]

We will go with all AR.Please share your passwords with me or your allies if you are gonna late.

[Ramble12]

I will change my faction to Teutonic Order, so ArBo gets Norway, if he agrees, ofc. Good luck to everyone!

[Mithridate]

Alright, me being up recieved.

Will play this the moment I wake up after work or before sleep if the coffee kicks in - ETA 15 hrs at the latest ( heading fer work ).

[Mithridate]

A quick start is better than a late start I suppose.


The Friendzone has entered into negotiation with all its neighbors, live long and prosper.

[ArBo]

I'm allright with Norway. Tomorrow I'll take my time for this one and answer to everyone who has pm'ed me.

[Mithridate]

I failed to upload the save with my post but he has been sent it now, pardon :/

Scotland is up.

[Lord Luka]

i was moving to a new place this weekend so I didn't have time to play. I will play tomorrow.
