Well, I can't pick it up till later tonight, so if you find time today, just pick it up and post to let us know. Otherwise I'll finish Ragnar off tonight.
 
I guess Butz was serious that he needed a skip.

Got it.

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm an ass. Going back through the thread, it looks like Bede is up.

Butz - SKIP
Bede - UP NOW
SesnOfWthr - ON DECK
Scoutsout - in the hole
 
scoutsout <-----impersonating Brother Bede

Quoth Sens: Nevermind, I'm an ass.

It's been my experience that people who say such things about themselves (even after a minor faux pas) generally aren't being fair to themselves. :D
 
Wait a minute, I'm the horse's rear end around here.

Got it.

Play tomorrow.

Dispatches early Monday
 
Very kind of you Brother .... Bedesout? Scoutede?

As you may have noticed about me in our short dealings with each other, I'm often my own harshest critic. ;)

Ah well, what can you do? Of all my flaws, I see that one as one which will probably remain with me for some time.

Any luck in finding a fifth? You had implied that you might have someone in mind ....

Please excuse us, we like to waste shields on Statue of Zeus ('nother SG...)

Well, we were both just posting to the guy's thread, but he can only play PTW, but I've got another in mind... just gimme "one more turn".
 
@Sesn: I was thinkin' about our Monarch to Regent friend. But when you officially gave me the green light, I PM'd "Planetfall". He showed me a neat trick one time with "wolfpack" tactics and subs. If our game develops to that point, he'd be a good one to have in this game. Me, I just want a stack of something on terra firma to :hammer: somebody! :D
 
You know, I think I'd kinda like for this game to get to that point. I haven't had any good naval warfare in quite a while. I saw PF's wolfpack tactics too, though I haven't had a good chance to try them yet.
 
Hey is something wrong with the last save? I tried to load EOC2_700ad.sav and got date errors.

This looks like it would be interesting in playing. If I can get a valid load, and you all want another player. I wouldn't mind taking a stab at it.

PF
 
Ugh, looks like I would have much trouble playing this. I have C3C patched to 1.22 and you all are playing 1.15. Errors trying to load older version are: Date,CNSL, SLGI.

PF
 
Unfortunately, you can't play with the 1.22 patch as that will corrupt the save for the rest of us.

If you still want to join, you could install C3C to a new directory, and patch that one to 1.15.
 
That's what I figured.

What is the best method for having both 1.15 and 1.22 installed?

1. Move current install to new directory?
2. Install 1.15 in different directory?

Seems to me there are a couple of files you have to back up. Unfortuantely
I don't recall which ones.

I'll give it a shot Monday night.

PF
 
To be entirely honest, I don't know the specifics of how it's done. I remember it being talked about it one of the SGOTM2 discussion threads though.
 
err sorry that I couldn't play the game I was bussy with graduation and really didn't have any time

welcome aboard scoutsout and planetfall :)
 
EoC2
700AD
A straighforward task: Finish off the Vikings, build a monument, set us up to take on the Dutch.

Not much to do other than swap some Scandanvian clowns to tax collectors. They will pay for this mess. Swap some barracks builds to harbors. The mantra here is food and gold, food and gold except for Iznik, Istanbul and Erdrine and Uskudar. Swap Istanbul to Leonardo's. I'd really like to get Copernicus' there. Once Erdrine finishes its MDI it should probably start the palace as a prebuild for Magellans.

'tis only fitting..Raganr started htis on my watch, so now he gets to die on mine. I think we should just go ahead and finish him off. Alesund would make a nice staging point for hte invasion of the Netherlands.

Spend the treasury rushing libraries in the former Scandanavia cities and pray for an MGL to make them useful

Portugese start SunT

T1 710
Army detours to kill a Viking horseman, loaded Galleys sail coast of Scandia heading for Copenhagen, other galleys head back to Uskudar to pick up reinforcements.

Decide to take a chance and see if I can't take Copenhagen with two MDI.
First MDI kills spear but redlines. SecondMDI kills spear and there is a third in the garrison. SS Lenny heads for the seige of Copenhagen. Vet sword leaves Odense for Copenhagen. Pike sword, MDI and trebs continue march on Rekjavik. Elite sword moves to join force investing Rekjavik.

Cathage starts Leonardos

T2 720
Manuevering to invest Copenhagen and Rekjavik

T3 730
Treb bombards Rekjavik and destroys palace, then the library , then the harbor!!! Wish those gunners woulddo a better targeting job. Army makes the first assualt. Will then hold for elite sword. Army kills absorbs arrows, kills spear, takes 1/3 casulaties

Elite MDI joins seige of Copenhagen

Scandian horseman attacks Trondheim and impales himself on a pike. Archer pillages road and irrigation. Fine with me, just help our ethnic cleansing effort. Scandian archer leaves Rekjavik and is hit by army ZoC

T4 740
Seige of Rekyavik
Trebs: There must not be any improvements left to destroy so they miss.

Seige of Copenhagen
Eliter MDI kills spear but no baton. Seige force reinforced

Wounded archer attacks elite spear fortified in Trondheim across a river and takes the city.

T5 750
Seige of Rekyavik
Trebs: There must not be any improvements left to destroy so they miss.
Elite sword assaults the city and kills a spear, no baton. Vet MDI lills spear, no promote.Sesn's swords are called upon to deliver the coup de grace, and fail, promoting the spear. Army takes casualties but kills spear. Army risks all in a final assault on a wounded archer, the city is ours.

Seige of Copenhagen
Fresh troops assault the town and we get the city and the Great Wall

Fresh troops arrive at Odense and begin to converge on Trondheim

Byzantines learn theology and start Sistine's

T6 760
Converging on Trondheim

Battle of Trondheim Redux
Scandia spear kills MDI. MDI kills archer and we capture Trondheim out from under the nose of Isabella

T7 770
Bringing in reinforcements to finish off the Scandanavians

Ragnar will talk and offers Oslo and Stockholm for peace. I think the next move should be against the new capital Alesund on the Dutch island.

T8 780
army moves down west coast joined by pike and trebs.
MDI out of Copenhagen head down east coast

What did we do to England? She claims we cheated her.

Bursa builds a settler so we can get irrigation across to Erdrine

T9 790
Start positioning galleys loaded with troops to take Alesund.

Concentrate our workforce in the south to get growth into the towns down there and to trim terrain around Erdrine.

T10 800
Ready to hit Alesund. I would take that capital to force the capital back to Oslo or Stockholm first. Then finish off the Vikings.


Next player: Found a ski resort on the hill where the settler is parked now. Finish off the Viqueens.

Sorry for the lack of pictures but systemic problems Saturday and Sunday caused massive crashes and reloads.
 
Order of go
SesnOfWthr or planetfall (welcome aboard)-up
Butz-after either Sesn or pf

Does this work?
 
It works, but first I have to confirm I patched successfully to 1.15. I could play at 1.13 but I don't want to add corruption to the save file.

PF
 
Let's see... bugs to squish:

PF and his C3C v1.22.15.13.15...

TF and the upload thingy so we can have screenies again...

And the Dutch? If we must. But promise me we get to make Theodora do the pouty-face thing. :D
