- If you need to be subbed/skipped too often you will be replaced.

Campaign can also be changed to late era

[selviu]

There is no Abassid Caliphate,I would like to play the turks instead

[joerock22]

Good job (and +rep) to saleska2 on this. I am going to archive the old thread. Let me know when you guys are ready to start.

[saleska2]

ill contact Mith and Elghazi to see if they want to keep with their factions. If so, I think we just need something more in Europe and we should be good to go soon. Mith hasnt been online for a while tho.

[SamSkey]

I'll play as the Moorish Caliphate. If Elghazi doesn't want it. If not I'll take the Fatimid Caliphate.

[elghazi]

take me of this may be I can join in a couple of weeks but not now

[StOuFf]

do you really want to play on the big map with no limitations?
Late Era with a smaller map I would be up for it. Somewhere i read somethign with + movementpoints. that would work too I think.

[Ramble12]

I'd like to change my faction to Khwarezmian Empire if we are going to play Early Era

[cjm81499]

I will play haven't decided what faction yet though

Well were playing full map as thats what the original host wanted.

I can in theory give all units extra movementpoints but then i'd have to upload my SS map as you would need the same files in order for the HS to work. Now this isnt the big problem but for some random reason people always manage to screw up their folder when downloading something and way too much problems occur in the first few turns.

[Schweik]

Could I join the game as a HS noob? I could take some remote or secondary faction so as to not ruin the game

[saleska2]

Anyone is welcome mate! choose your faction!

[Schweik]

Great, Kingdom of Poland for me then, please!

[saleska2]

Im gonna assume mithridate simply wont have time or anything so Byzantines are open.

Ill also send a PM to all current players whether they want increased movement points.

[xXAmonXx]

Novgorod for me please

[saleska2]

Alright, movement points will be increased, for some reason its not working right now tho. Im working on it.

Ill also give all factions played by players a spy to start with and probably a few bonus troops to help expand a little bit faster.

Download will be up tomorrow.

[selviu]

Thank you saleska for everything

[StOuFf]

hmm that would mean a new SS mod folder so I can play with the + movementpoints? this is probably too much of an effort to be interesting. I played a lot of such hotseats in the past and they are... time consuming and the action is simply missing thats why I and others invented the limited maps back in the days

[saleska2]

pretty sure you'd need another SS mod folder anyway as this is early ERA.

HotSeats are quite time consuming indeed but then again, its not like every HS around here is with the full map, as far as im aware. This is litterly the only HS with the full map and I dont see a problem with that.

its up to you whether you join tho and its understandable if you have no desire to.
