Destiny of Empires II [Organization Thread]

[LzPrst]

Bad news. Holy Rome (Germany) contacted me and said the game was stupidly unbalanced, left and gave me all his cities. I have written a story that covers it, but I suspect this will spark a debate on what to do next, personally I don't mind at all having my empire size doubled, but there may be those who do...

[LzPrst]

also, on a side note, how do I play the scenario in singleplayer? whenever I try to load it (either as a mod or through regular BtS the game crashes)

[Kenshin2]

Wow that is hardly a mature response. I don't like this game so I'm going to ruin it for everyone else. Can we rollback so that Holy Rome is back in the game? We can look for a sub, or make it AI. Did he build the Apostolic Palace? If he did we could rename it the Papal States and make it the christian church or something.

[Exploit]

If your looking for a replacement for Holy Rome, I volunteer. Just PM me the login essentials.

[OzzyKP]

Awesome, thanks Exploit.

I've asked the host for a reload to undo the city gifting. Send a PM to Toni for the password.

[OzzyKP]

Ok, game has been reloaded. Get the pass. I'll pause the game if necessary so you don't miss this turn.

[Exploit]

PM to Toni requesting password has been sent.
Mod has been downloaded with no apparent issues when I start the game with it.

[Exploit]

No response yet from Toni about the password and I am off to bed. I will check again in the morning but after that I'm off to work so it maybe 20 hours from now before I can play so that pause will likely be needed.

[MNGoldenEagle]

On the plus side, this allowed me to play the turn that I missed. And seriously, what's his problem? I started out with tiny Vietnam with no land improvements, hardly anything in my two little cities (one of them has stink clouds over it), a puny army that can barely hold against Mongolia, and I'm still enjoying myself! I don't care if I'm not going to be a major power, I can do so much more in a diplogame than I can in a single player game because I'm interacting with real people. It's all a matter of perspective.

[DNK]

Hm... I think someone needs to review his geography...

Well, at least he left early when it's salvageable.

Maybe we can take this opportunity to decide on some game rules?

[LzPrst]

well, his main comment was that if anyone was to challenge the Byzantine empire who now has 8 cities, including a very valuable holy city, some civ would have to be equally large, thus he gifted me his cities. He does sort of have a point though. With a defenceless Arab empire the Byzantine empire has had a huge advantage. It is now more than twice the size of all other nations.

[OzzyKP]

Perhaps he should instead have been focusing on expanding his own empire. Take out the Vikings, get Danzig, take Sicily (I don't know how you took that instead of Germany) and he's got more then enough cities. But whatever, Exploit is up to the task.

[LzPrst]

his words not mine. but you also have all of Africa to colonize and a double holy city to pay for it with (again his words).

I am content to wonderwhore. and scheme. I love scheming


only downside is that my awesome story of European unification is now contra-factual history, the dream of some fool disconnected from reality...

[Exploit]

Still no response from Toni for the password. Does anyone have another means of contacting him or for having the password reset?

[LzPrst]

hey, exploit, did you get my PM?

also, Toni gifted me all of Germany's units. I have given back what I think was yours.
