Hey! Well I just got Medieval: Total War and believe it or not... I think I like it better than C3C, and so I made a thread and found out the idea of MTW SGs! So here is this first one, currently there are two players, Constantine and I. The Settings are;

England
Early Period
Normal Difficulty
Victory: Domination

I will begin the turns soon, we want more people though!
 
I will play
 
I might play but I need a few days to make everything work. What if you start with some turns amirsan and constantine and I´ll join then.
 
Sorry guys, I got cought up in reading the last SG for MTW (you could learn alot as a n00b :D). I am going out now but when I get back around 5:00 Eastern -5 GMT, I will start playing. :) We could use another player too.

to the Moderators: Mind if this gets stickied? I have heard of the others being stickied and it would help alot. Thanks. :)
 
ok, startin the turns now. This is my first time on Moderate so I hope I dont do anything crazy... :rolleyes:

Wait, so turn lengths are until the current king dies? I think that is how it is... if not then thats the way it will be here. :)

I also learned alot from the other MTW SG's for England so I dont think I should do that bad...
 
Player: amirsan
Nation: The Glorious English Empire!
King: William II 1087-1102


The times of England was not a time of great beginings in the unfortunate past of ours. Many nations around us pick from us as if we were the village breadbasket. Though times are about to change. England would soon become the greatest nation in the world!

I was King William II, my father, William handed this empire to me as my gift after his death. I would protect it at all costs. I will continue his dreams.

My first move was to build Inns all around the homeland. Soon many would come for a job and fight for our mighty country against our former enemies, France. Though our first interests should be to consolidate the mainland and stay free from danger of an attack from a neigboring tribe while our armies will soon be across the seas.

The Church gave us recognition for our worhip to God and mother church, he gave us 1000 florins.

There was a man by the name of Harry Eadwulf in the province of Northumbria. I have learned of his great skills in mathematics and decided to make him the government of that land. Maybe his skills would increase profits the same way our newly raised taxs would.

I sent my emmisary to Whelsh lands in hope to bribe thier army to join ours, this would successfuly grant this province a part of the English Empire. The cost was around 5000 florins. I thought I will wait one more year to see if the price drops.

One year passed and the price was only 2009, it was paid. Though one turn later thier general was too loyal, and so it didn't happen. We decided we will wait. And it has been only one year and mercenaries already cam to our lands to fight for us. We trained them when they came.

The Spanish and Italians both offered alliances one after the other. We accepted.

At age 60 I decided that it ws time to attack the overly growing threat of the French. Thier armies grew and we decided to attack thier King which through espionage we found out that they only had 20 men. We also sent our army from Wessex to Flanders to attack thier very large army there so they do not try to help thier king.

One year later just as suspected they sent almost all of thier army to Flanders. Not much outnumbered we decided not to try and loose troops just yet and left. Now thier King's army is totally undefended with a better force than ours.

Thier king's army fleed! And so this was still good as we had the province, though we will use the same strategy as before. One year later they invaded Wessex! I said no no no no! We are not going to flee. Our armies were almost the same exact army. (ooc: I realy didn't feel like controlling the army... so I let the computer do it...) We won the battle! Though at a loss of 400 men... Then they invaded Aquitaine, we fleed as we would have no way in winning. And so we fleed to the Castle which was told to hold out for 3 years.

Next year we used our army in Wessex and XXX to attack Flanders and won the battle loosing 130 troops. I also sent a force to Brittany and made them flee. The King of France died in battle, though his Hier lives. They took Champaign though we take it again now giving no way for thier army to flee. Normandy and Northumberland revolt! They also have a large force. An emmissary in hopes to bribe was sent to Northumberland.

Ooops, damn, we have excommunication with the Poop, I mean Pope. I forgot to listen to them two years ago... damn. The French were just about to be conquered! Well there are many revolts and stuff like that. There is only a castle and one army from France. They can be conquered easily next turn and thats it for France, though the revolts are a serious problem and ummm... our economy is -1500 becuase I lowered the taxes very low to revive from revolts but I guess it didn't work. I hope Constantine you can do better than me so far... I told you I was a n00b...

This Amrisans save

I'll play Wed afternoon

ANd lets go 24 to post a got it and 72 to report the turns. good?
 
I can play after emperor snefix. How many turns do we play? Untill the king dies? And which patch do we use?
 
well I used the original game, (no patches downloaded) so I guess we will use that until the next game (unless most here dont use the original, so then we will start a new game).

and yes, turns go by until your king dies, its the most logical :)

Amirsan- Just Played
Constantine- Up now!
IceEye- On deck!
EmperorSnefix- In the hole
 
King Alfered came to power after his father William died.

There was much work to do. His father had hired too many mercs and was draining the treasury. A program of farms and ports were to built to increase the treasury. Rebels were a problem but would be crushed.

I have managed to cut the deficit down by 500 florins until he have forts and farms in each profit we will be close to broke

Rebels attacked in Flanders the King readied his army to fight. The rebels attacked with 120 archers I completed killed or captured them

The last of the French attacked in Ile du France and a battle began....

20 Royal Knights and 60 Urban milita attacked. The english forces launched their arrows and drove them off when the horsemen charged and drove the French off the feild.

The empire has been held intact and The land reforms being many farms being built have put us on the road to economic growth and profits. After the last of the rebels are crushed the King will focus on the economy.

The Welsh join the English Empire for 1000 florins, the farm growth and port building programs contiune and the treasury is gaining money. With the Welsh joining we now have three longbowman units.

A French rebellion occured 20 years into the regin of Alferd. Armies were sent to Aquanite to put down the insurrection....

The Battle of Bordeaux was long and hard many times it would seem if about the English spearmen would break holding off the swarms of the French. The English archers took their toll and the fedual knights repeated charges finally broke the French.

Several years later a crusade by the Germans was launched at the province of Flanders. We are at war. Troops marched to the threanted border provinces and reinforcements were assembled war is our calling now.

Flanders fell to the Germans but a counter attack was launched from Ile du france, Wessex and Normandy the fighting was vicious but in the end retook

Toulose was also invaded but we fought off the German attackers.

Peace was made shortly after.

Many years passed as many farms, ports and town watchs were built. The scots joined the Empire after a bribe.

The Next king should find a stable economy +3000 gold a year forces being built up in France and may wish to attack the Italians or the Germans as both are fighting many people.
