The 3 Crusader Kings

[Lanzelot]

Very rich game! Could someone please post a map and a score table for the lurkers?

A little off-topic, but I thought it matches the time period, so I'll post it here: last week I went on a trip to the Dom zu Speyer,
which is just a few miles from Heidelberg. Constructed in 1030-1061 it is today the largest Romanesque cathedral in the world,
which is still intact. (It was partially destroyed by French troops in 1689, but has been reconstructed in the following centuries.)

It is amazing how the noise of modern-day life immediately falls silent, when you enter. It's like traveling back in time by a thousand years,
and you can literally feel the weight of the centuries bearing down on you.

The Krypta in the basement is the last resting-place of the bones of 4 German Kaiser, 4 Kaiserinnen and 4 Könige:

• Kaiser Konrad II (+1039) and Kaiserin Gisela (+1043)
• Kaiser Heinrich III (+1056)
• Kaiser Heinrich IV (+1106) and Kaiserin Bertha (+1087)
• Kaiser Heinrich V (+1125)
• Kaiserin Beatrice (+1184) (The other halve of her tomb is empty, because her husband, Kaiser Friedrich Barbarossa, died somewhere in Byzantium during the Third Crusade 1190) (I do hope that Kaiser Blaze-rossa will meet a better fate... )

During restoration work in 1905, the tombs were opened and the "tomb crown" of Konrad II was found,
which had been resting on his chest for nearly 900 years.

The Iron Crown, hovering over the altar in order to mark the burial place of German Emperors:

Sorry for the many pictures, got a bit carried away...

That's cool, gives a nice feel for the time frame of the game. Of course the German emperors are from minor branch of the noble house of the Franks. But staunch allies in the Holy Crusade to free the Holy land.

Yes, nice to see what our future mosque looks like.

Whats the definition of a Lurker?

Hmm, according to Wiki it's someone who reads a forum, but doesn't contribute to it actively. I would say, applied to these forums it could mean someone who follows the game in the background, but doesn't actively play

In the Succession Games there are often people who are not on the team roster, but nevertheless participate in the strategy discussion, answer questions the team might have, or pose new ones. I've seen them being called "lurkers" as well, even though they do "contribute". But they are not playing actively, I guess that's what's making them a lurker?!

 

[semental]

Sounds kind of kinky.....

I would certainly lurk around Jamie Chung!

 

[Hawklord]

That's called stalking
You'd get arrested

 

[semental]

Dang!....

 

[Lanzelot]

Forget Jamie... If you want to see a real hot chick, listen to this!

That sounds about right. Hint! Hint!

Once again you got lost. This is the bar that has a sign that reads PBEM. Not Succession Games.

Siege of Chernigov
6 catapults could not make it to the siege in time, the ruts of war slow them.

4/4 inquisitor > 4/4 Berserker = 1 / 4 inquisitor > 0/4 Berserker
4/4 Ramon the Swordsman < 4/4 spearman = 0/4 Ramon the Swordsman < 2/4 spearman
4/4 Levu the Medieval Infantry < 5/5 Berserker = 0/4 Levu the Medieval Infantry < 3/5 Berserker
4/4 Darious the Horseman > 3/5 Berserker = 2/4 Darious the Horseman > 0/5 Berserker
4/4 Mijor the Horseman > 2/4 spearman = 4/4 Mijor the Horseman > 0/4 spearman
Basil II renames Chernigov to New Chernigov

Using only the weakest but loyalest warriors Cherigov tower is scaled and secured.
As Basil is assisted to the top of New Chernigov's largest tower, the great weight of war is felt, the pressure for the need to expand his Empire haunts him every day, he looks towards his future but only hears the delicate sounds of thunder.

The wake of Kings...

Ansar Warrior scouts came across another barbarian camp. This one called Uranicus Terra that was occupied but the worst sort of barbarian - Germans. They liberated the town and offered it to Allah in a great fire.

Ansar 3/4 v Pond scum Inquisitor
Ansar 4/4 v Warrior

An assassin in his travels came across a another encampment of these barbarians in a town called Am Sontag Sieg. That town was burned as well as an offering for their sins.

We encourage the Christian kingdoms to join forces to destroy the brown heathens.

 

[soul_warrior]

gps semental.

the news of peace in the east are troubling the Kings' rest.
the RUS have also approached the King, asking for mercy.
we have sent back the envoys with a clear message...
"the king will consider this offer, in return for the cooperation of the heathen in the quest to bring christ to all"
they have declined, and so will be crushed.

the English are happy to join the cause of the holy faith, and are now at war with the Abbasids!
