Europe cooperative multiplayer

[Wolfitz]

:bash: Ok cool, no problem:biggrin:

[Magnumkiller]

So I am back.

If Latins is still alive and similar/better to how it was on that pic, I am taking Latins, and then gonna go kill all those other wannabe Crusader states and/or annex them after making them my vassals :).

God I love this game :P.

[Elvain]

but we didn't move a step forward, the game has stopped at kevincompton :sad:

kevin, what's up?

[Angryminer]

There are people who don't play much computer games around christmas. Imagin the horror of managing a hoard of relatives! :wink:

Angryminer

[Elvain]

it wasn't meant bad...

maybe he went to see some relatives far away or something (or hosts them at home what is even worse sometimes :lol:

[Magnumkiller]

Heh. Well guess I am the new Emperor of Latins :).

[Elvain]

ok, so send your e-mail adress to Kevin via PM and before I start next turn it wil be your first turn with us :go:

so once he will finnish his turn the next will be you and your Latins

1. Elvain - Armenia
2. Angryminer - Teutonic Order
3. kevincompton - Aragon
4. Magnunkiller - Latins

[Elvain]

Kevin, do you still play with us?

it's almost a week.. I miss Armenia :sick:

[Magnumkiller]

He is.

He answered my PM telling me he would be sending the save file yesterday, although it never arrived.

[Elvain]

so the actual status is ...?

I know I'm always impatient, but I think that waiting for more than a week for one player's turn is little too much.

Kevin, could you tel us a word please? We were both very critical on the lack of information from Sunflowers and now you didn't say a word to your co-players for more than a week :sad:

If you can't play, we will bypass you and Angry will send the savefile to Magnumkiller... and you can join when having more time. But this leads nowhere :(

[Angryminer]

Hm, perhaps kevin is just not available for a few days. If there is no news about his savegame by 1.1.07 I'll send my version to magnumkiller. Kevin can still participate in the next round if he misses this one.

Angryminer

[Elvain]

of course he can.

I'm just curious why he keeps posting in this forum (several posts in last week) but he doesn't reply here and doesn't react when I ask him what's up with the multiplayer.

Why?

[Elvain]

*couhg*

so? :sick:

[Angryminer]

I just forwarded the savegame to magnumkiller (using the eMailaddress he specified in his forum-profile).
I hope kevincompton doesn't mind us progressing while he isn't available.

Angryminer

[Magnumkiller]

Sorry for taking long, was out of the city. Will be playing it early tomorrow and forwarding it to Elvain afterwards :).

[Elvain]

ok, I hope kevincompton will join us again.

I'd even give him a possibility to "take his turn back, say between me and Angryminer if he wants...

[Magnumkiller]

Sent to Elvain.

Latins are horrible at the moment, with 1 marshall and (at the end of my turn) 2 merchants, and like 3 enemy marshalls prisoners, and an empty treasury... :(.

[Elvain]

there was no attachment in the mail :rolleyes:

[Magnumkiller]

Resent :silly:

[Elvain]

ok, so it's sent to Angryminer now.

Soon I will write short report of my turn.

to kevin: I still watch Aragon too, I hope you will come back, you are always welcome. I hope you're ok and your "absence" here is caused by some pleasing duties :go:

ok. so what happened in Armenian turn no.5?

The king decided to hire one more marshal, doux Arshavir and provided him with first not-only-peasant army (2 Akyndji and the rest-peasants :lol:).
Doux Ara was in Lebanon planning to invade Palestina when an army of Jerusalem invaded Lebanon. Arshavir boarded a ship to Lebanon and Ara started a march against the enemy army.
The first battle in village of Tyre (south of Beirut) was led by Ara reinforced by Arshavir and we captured enemy marshal.
Both our armies then marched down to Palestina to plunder northern parts of it. During this campaign a messanger has arrived from Epir (were at war with Latins) offering Armenia a trade agreemenet. The king declined their offer, but when they continued with offer of their princess' hand to our peince Hethum, the king agreed.
The campaign in Jerusalem was successfull, villages in northern patt of it were plundered so there was enough money to build up our kingdom and another marshal - the prince of Jerusalem - was captured too.
The city of Jerusalem though seemed to be too well fortified and a rebellion emerged in Lebanon so Ara and Arshavir turned back to eliminate it.

In order to strengthen economy, the king decided to sign a peace with Jerusalem and to make them our vasals. But they agreed only after the first marshal was released. So finaly Jerusalem became an Armenian vasal

on the last screen you can see that Aragonese merchants are very active.

There was no space for military statistic which is very positive for Teutonic Order (rank 3!)
