2nd Crusade

[Hawklord]

Yes I probably meant Lyon. Killing your troops gets me VP's so keep sending them and I'll keep killing them

 

[Hawklord]

New Hjortspring pike. spear and sword killed

Lyons spear killed. A small respite for the beleguered troops while we have a party to celebrate the Norse new year.

OK I have not sent it cos I have a problem. I could not find the save so I played it again the same way but it crashes everytime I try to save it, which explains why I could not find the save. Can you send it again and I will follow the same script as posted above.

resent.....

 

[semental]

Any luck with the save?

 

[Hawklord]

Still can't save it. I've asked for a replay to hopefully fix it.

 

[semental]

Re-played, re-sent

 

[semental]

Soooo, did it play and save?

 

[Hawklord]

No I can't get it to save. It goes all the way through, next moves and everything but crashes before the screen that allows me to save. Can we go back a little further?

 

[semental]

We don't you (Hawk) start with the last turn. Remove any automatic moves.

 

[semental]

OK, I replayed turn 78 and pulled some troop moves out. Should be about the same at the end of the day.

 

[Hawklord]

I don't use automatic moves in pbem cos they cause problems. Well OK not strictly true as I use them to move ships but only as far as they get in one turn so they do not go over into the next turn. The automatic moves I saw were Cordovans and my workers finishing a task. Don't know if that was a problem.
If everyone makes sure that troops don't move on auto as they move 2 turns in one and can reinforce a threatened city faster, as they move on the turn and at the end of it getting double movement (even if they can't move next turn) it is still a cheat and is a no-no in pbem's.

I'll try the new turn, let's hope it works this time.

p.s. the lake in Southern France wasd caused by a giant meteor strike in this reallity The meteor known as mouse was unstoppable and purely accidental. Perhaps I should reclaim the land in the next version

 

[Hawklord]

Replayed and sent. Same stuff as last time.

[semental]

Well, I do use auto moves on internal movements. I do this because I end up with pieces and can't remember where the #@$##@$% they were going. I am suffering a severe case of CRS on items that only take minutes not days. Which is a problem with pbems. Anyway, I pulled mine back and will use them little if at all.

KS - you sent me the Hawk's turn. I sent a note but my system crashed.

 

[semental]

gps - Hawk - let's hope the third time is the charm.

 

[Hawklord]

Just to build up the suspense. I'll be unable to play until early next week. Sorry guys

 

[Hawklord]

New Hjortspring 2 x pike, archer and sword killed. City recaptured. Spear killed outside city.

Lyons 3 x spear killed

Good news is that it saved this time
