Europe cooperative multiplayer

[Elvain]

ok, Kevin e-mailed me that he's back, I will send him the savefile. He said he should be able to forward the save today, so I suggest that we would just swith me and him and then continue...

4th round
1. Elvain - done
2. Angryminer - done
4. Magnumkiller - done

5th round
1. Elvain - done (sending the save to Kevin)
3. kevincompron (his 4th round turn)
2. Angryminer
3.kevincompton
4. Magnumkiller

I hope you don't mind...I think Aragon as yet the weakest of us deserves this kind of toleration (especialy when is at war with HRE and France)

Or other suggestion - now let Angryminer play (he's at war with powerfull Golden Horde + neighbouring Smolensk) then kevind plays, then Magnumkiller and then kevin again?

depends on what you want Angry..
--
PS: due to "technical problems" the time is little forwarded..

so the next one starts at 52 and ends at 57

[Magnumkiller]

"technical problems" being me? I hate my KoH and its unexistant clock :(.

I don't mind about kevin going twice before me, although do remember I am surrounded by warring countries and my court ****s :P.

[Elvain]

"technical problems" being me? I hate my KoH and its unexistant clock :(technical problems is absence of your KoH clock, not you. It's not your fault :wink: Honestly I don't think it can be any problem...

maybe kevin's substitual turn can go after your? (so before my 6th)
I have no problems at the moment, I signed a peace with Jerusalem and wait for Despot of Epir to die. Before that I don't plan any wars :biggrin:

oh, maybe I should say it more clearly when wrting a report of my turn. so:

Angryminer: Smolensk was payed by Golden Horde to start a war with Teutonic Order
Magnumkiller: The war between Latins and Epir and Latins and Athens
Saloniki declared independence from their oppresor Latins

[Angryminer]

My suggestion is to give kevin the savegame now and let him play until 1:00 (as round 4+5). That way he gets some extra time even though he wasn't available, and additionally we're back at a reasonable timetable.

I don't know yet wether it was stupidity or bravery of me to delay my turn until kevin has finished his 5th turn. :wink:

About the lack of an ingame-clock: You pressed F11 and nothing showed up? Are you sure your F-keys are currently in F-key-mode? Some keyboards reuse the F-keys as function-keys, f.e. to start eMail-programs and the likes. In that case there usually is a switch-key somewhere on the board to bring the F1-F12-keys back into the correct mode.

Angryminer

[Elvain]

I have no problem with it.. just that kevin will have the turn little shorter after all..

so in the round 5 the order is Armenia(to 52) - Aragon(to 1:00) - Teutons (1:05) - Latins (1:10)

then we'll continue in the original order (Armenia-Teutons-Aragon-Latins)

Does anyone have objections?

Last thing about organization, I changed the "switch" kingdom to Papacy as HRE is at war with one of us (Aragon) and also seems to be weaker and weaker and may soon disappear

PS:
I don't know yet wether it was stupidity or bravery of me to delay my turn until kevin has finished his 5th turn. :wink:I believe it's good decision :go:

[Magnumkiller]

That works with me.

And I did press F11 with nothing showing up, and there seems to be no problem with my F keys (F5 refreshes, for example). :(

[Angryminer]

Do you run version 1.03 of the game (patched european or unpatched Paradox Entertainment version)?

Angryminer

[Magnumkiller]

Its supposed to be the American version. I downloaded the patch the other day after my turn and re-patched, but haven't had a chance to try if it works.

[Elvain]

The king of Armenia asked one mysterious woman in the mountains of Lebanon for a prophecy how will the world look in several years.

Here is a result:
Aragon:

Was eliminated by Portugese conquest :sad:
Armenia:

inherited lands of Epir and won Syria at war with Ayyubids
Latins:

Expanded a lot to Balkans
Teutonic Order:

Expanded to south Russia, but then lost a war with Smolensk and Novgorod...

If you ask me what happened in next hour of AI playing for all kingdoms you would never believe me. The only 2 kingdoms who survived were Armenia and Latins. Latins lost most of their lands except 3 provinces, Teutonic Order was annexed by Trebizond and Armenia? Armenia lost their balkan provinces but then their spy gave them crown of Ayyubids

Wow!

[Angryminer]

The weak golden horde looks good. But I'm wondering how Smolensk managed to expand. Last time I played they had an income of 1 gold coin per turn. :smile:

Angryminer

[Magnumkiller]

Alteast I survived and didn't get annexed like a guy I know :iamwithst

[Angryminer]

You be silent or I will direct the Order's path of expansion into the direction of a certain empire. :angry:

Angryminer

[Elvain]

hehe, don't you want an arbiter in your issue? :lol:

btw, I'm not very sure but I'm afraid you'll soon be neighbours :amen: and I as anti-crusader would be glad to see 2 potential crusader powers fighting one :swordfigh against each other. Armenia could profit from that :dwink:

[Magnumkiller]

Ehhh... The patch seems to have killed my KoH :S. Can't seem to find my CD, either.

[Angryminer]

If you can't find your CD, how have you been playing before?

Angryminer

[Magnumkiller]

I took it out to play Godfather, and since then have moved loads of things from my desk, so now I have no idea where I moved it to :(.

[Elvain]

btw, any news here? (kevin?)
(Also, have you fond your cd, Magnumkiller?)
--
ok. Kevin just mailed me he can't go on, so we should continue withuot him :sad:

it's sad especialy after the "prophecy" which showed that Aragon is the most endangered of our kingdoms.

I think you can go on now, Angry.

[Angryminer]

Alright. Tomorrow I'll play from 0:52 to 0:57 then. :go:
Smolensk shall feel my wrath! :knight:

Angryminer

[Magnumkiller]

Got it working, no clock yet though, gonna try fixing that again after my turn :(.

[Angryminer]

It might need another day, but definitely no longer than friday night. Yesterday I was working from 8 to 24 o'clock - no time for KoH. :wink:
