Another 6.1 Hotseat - Western

**normajean** · August 06, 2008, 05:41 PM

GAME HAS STARTED

House rules:
-Max 8 players.
-Western factions, meaning the furthest east factions you can take are HRE, Denmark, Norway, Venice, Sicily etc. but no further east than that. I'm thinking with the factions concentrated in a smaller area of the map it should turn out more interesting (Moors are allowed, by the way)
-Autoresolve on.
-If you don't play your turn within 24 hours it will be subbed (if you say in advance you won't be available, you can choose somebody to play your turn and tell them what you want done, etc). If this happens consistently, you will be replaced. (so please don't sign up if you can see yourself being unavailable a lot)
-You must upload your turn in a RAR or ZIP file into a post in this thread when you have finished, clearly labeled with the name of the next faction and turn number. Then, please PM the next player to let them know that it is their turn.

The following installation is needed (if you don't have this by the time it's your turn from now on, you will be replaced straight away):
Medieval II Total War: Kingdoms with 1.4 (no patch, not 1.5)
Stainless Steel 6.1, NO SUBMODS OR CHANGES OF ANY KIND.

Players: (in turn order)
normajean - Leon-Castile - GMT
luigithepizzaman - England - GMT
Scelucid Hopolite - Denmark - GMT
Aries777777 - Norway - GMT
Ultra_Magnus - Scots - GMT
Remi - HRE - GMT +1
Kaizer Merlox - Moors - GMT -5
TriforceV - France - GMT -5

I would think that he would be GMT sir, ^^ also, if you wanted, I could be the moors, you know, to give you good company. =p

Oops, didn't notice the edit

Anyway, if you want to play as the HRE, that's cool. If you genuinely are changing your mind to playing as the Moors, then go ahead, but I think I would have to move to another faction out of fear

And TriforceV, sure you can play as France

Gonna need your timezone though.

Which means that we pretty much just need one more player. Now that we have HRE and France, would probably be best if that person would play as an Italian faction, but still, up to you.

**Ultra_Magnus** · August 06, 2008, 06:05 PM

I'd be more than happy to join as the scots! But my comp is acting wierd checkout my post on luigis game! If i can sort it out count me in!

EDIT Im GMT

**Scelucid Hopolite** · August 07, 2008, 10:37 AM

Hey can i join as denmark please my timzone is Gmt scotland

**Kaizer Merlox** · August 07, 2008, 02:56 PM

I'll take HRE if i could., If you want to ask me to play the Itallian states, Venice, or Sicily, for balance purposes, I will think about it.

I am EST US, East coast., should be -5 of GMT if I am correct, is that Ok?

Also I am fine by autoresolve, due to the fact that my Battle mode on SS is broken. /cry

I think HRE should be fine, as long as most of our factions now are in the north sea area it would probably be better to have another a bit nearer to there than to have a faction around Italy, seeing as there isn't anything going on in that area at the moment anyway.

Seeing as we're almost full, can everybody PM me with what passwords they're going to use? (and Aries, I still need your time zone)

**Kaizer Merlox** · August 07, 2008, 03:51 PM

I was soon to be scared that there would be no French super powers!!! but now i am happy to see that their is, Triforce, what is your time zone please? (You make the 7th)

We need one more, Preferibly Kingdom of Argon or Ireland!!!

Then we will have 8 players squeezed in the north western part of the map,

Ohh i'm like -5 gmt Eastern American Timezone.
But I'm very reliable just ask anyone, in the hundreds of Multiplayer campaigns I've played.
Trust me you won't be disapointed

**Kaizer Merlox** · August 07, 2008, 04:18 PM

Nah, no way, Kingdom of Ireland or Kingdom of Argon would be the best spot.

If you do move outa fear, I guess i gotta play as the moors, and take over kingdom of argon, portugal, and spain.

**Remi** · August 07, 2008, 04:23 PM

Hi all,
If you don't mind, i will be glad to play Venice or Ireland, as soon as you've been decided...
GMT + 1

**Kaizer Merlox** · August 07, 2008, 04:36 PM

I vote Remi as Ireland or kingdom of Argon!, so we can focus on the north west!, Venice is /alright/ but it goes all the way down in the Iraklion =/

Also, Are we going to have an IC diplomacy thread?

Triforce, I am a big player in the Guild, My main mod though is Broken Crescent mod, But yeah, we'll have an interesting game here, glad to have a very experienced hotseat player here!

heh, Yup I'm currently also in a Broken Crescent Campaign playing as the "Great ?seljurks?", It's an awesome mod though.
Experienced, yes.. Great player? Idk about that, I can hold my own i suppose but I'm not extraordinary, havn't even dominated a game yet.

idk You could play as Ireland

But with Scotland & England and Myself (France) you wouldn't exactly have much room to breath after you have taken over your small Island.
Especially with all the competition. If you like a challenge I would recommend it, It would defiantly make the game exciting though in the British Isles :-D.

Venice works, and is probably allot easier. Speaking from experience, you would be given some breathing room near Venice, but mainly you could expand down Italy in Sicily and leaves the whole Eastern Med open for you to expand against the Easier AI. It's a HUGE step up on the easy scale from lets say Ireland.

Aragon is also an option and it's probably just alittle bit easier than Ireland, You could contend with Spain or France and have access to the Med and the atlantic.

Hope my little insight into what to expect helps

Good luck
TriforceV

**Kaizer Merlox** · August 07, 2008, 05:11 PM

I would support him going to Kingdom of Argon, Lets face it, He is between powers Spain and France, and he has the option to go into the sea. + there is more breathing room for them!

Venice though goes really really far out of the way of the north western corner, They expand all the way to Iraklion, and thats more of the middle alittle south of Byzintine empire.

So i would say Kingdom of Argon all the way!!! (Gives spain player something to think about!)

**normajean** · August 07, 2008, 06:29 PM

Well, Remi, it's your decision at the end of the day. Once you've decided (I won't make this decision for you, lol) lets get this show on the road!

Still need people to send me passwords though.

**Thermal** · August 07, 2008, 07:38 PM

people, could i please mention that ireland, kharezms, kievan rus and norway are the ones that u hav 2 swap, so if its like the other game ireland would b glitchy, so out of them 2 possibly 4 the games sake aragon...
moors would b a nice change 4 u merlox, i shouldnt think norma jean need whimper away just because he'll hav competition

also i picked norway, which could also b an awkward faction (in the same respect as ireland would b) so i guess i could swap 2 any other available if i need 2...i like 2 play as norway, but not if im getting glitches and weird units! perhaps the portugalese...or genoa!

Lol, I was just kidding about that! I shall stand proud and firm as Leon-Castile, whoever I need to contend with!

So Kaizer, is this a definite choice to move to Moors then? Don't forget that now Remi's playing as Venice, so we can't exactly leave him completely alone down there
