Next turn

Spotted a Privateer! But not near our Missionary
Missionary dropped off 1 tile SW of Saxon. Will convert on T197
Konya Border Pops
Revert to 100% wealth (WOW 18 GPT!!!!!)

Bribed Toko into Theo with Music
Bribed Sal into Mercantilism with Physics
Bribed Zara into Caste with Mil Sci

 

[ianw1610]

Sounds good so far.

For the free Specialists from Mercantilism, run Merchants throughout, unless we are trying to pop borders, in which case run an Artist.

 

[ianw1610]

You are bribing the Civic changes this turn, right?! As Zara is our Vassal anyway, he may way "spare this for a good friend", to change his Civics...

 

[JerichoHill]

You can follow along with me Ian!
Yes I bribed on Turn 296

 

[JerichoHill]

Should I upload the save or keep going? Nothing of note happening so far. Everything good. We are locked on our 4 resources and secured everyone has a state religion.

 

[ianw1610]

No just keep going - fine with me. It is already 2 minutes to midnight here, so hoping I don't fall asleep (not that I'd be able to sleep anyway, with us so close to the end!!!!!!)

 

[JerichoHill]

Oh

I had a crash to desktop on turn 296

 

[JerichoHill]

I'm so so sorry. Crash to Desktop. Never happened to me before. Never
I am PM'ing AlanH.

 

[JerichoHill]

I have a save, either 295 or 296, but I do not want to play it yet

I am waiting for AlanH to tell me what to do. I can upload a save dated AD 1375 turn 295

 

[ianw1610]

What is the rule in the case of a CTD? Do you just play on to the end of the turnset as normal, or do you have to replay only the turn in question and upload that save?

If you do the latter, be sure to download the save you just uploaded, and play on from that save (not the initial save).

 

[ianw1610]

AD1375 is T295, so if you play on from that save you will need to instigate the Civic bribes again.

AlanH is also based in the UK, so it may be tomorrow before he replies to you.

 

[JerichoHill]

I dont know, but whatever the rule I will follow. I have PM'ed AlanH and my last save is from T295.
It is faily easy to recreate everything as I was doing it

 

[ianw1610]

Just make sure everything is played exactly as before the crash - same AI Civic bribes etc.

Also remember to check on the Victory screen, under Members - The United Nations - Diplomatic Victory... that we have over 60%... we should be very comfortable when it comes to the vote.

 

[JerichoHill]

yeah ill follow what i posted!

 

[Ozbenno]

Do you have an autosave from T296? That would be best to start again from. Otherwise, remember to do everything just as you did before.

 

[JerichoHill]

You are correct Ozbenno. I have an autosave from AD1380. That is T296

I'm just waiting from someone from the GOTM staff to give me a green light to upload the T296 save and continue

 

[ianw1610]

Yes the Autosave will be the better option. If AlanH hasn't replied yet, then he is unlikely to do so for another 7 or 8 hours as it is nighttime here now.

 

[JerichoHill]

Okay, that is cool. I don't know about Gyaathar. I am still going to wait until I get instructions from either of them. Then I will upload the T296 save, download it, and continue from there

I am probably going to save very frequently now... like after every move I make

 

[Ozbenno]

Did it crash in between turns? If so, all should be all right (even if it didn't should still be all right actually). Best to wait for GOTM staff to give the OK though.

 

[JerichoHill]

I think it crashed when I hit END TURN on T296 and it was going to T297

On T296 we had dumped our missionary off and bribe Toko/Sal/Zara into civic changes. T297 I was going to convert Saxon
