Crusader Scenario Succession Game?

[Marquis de Sodaq]

I follow Raz on the list. Once he posts his log, I'll have a go. The SGs follow me. Did the game get bollocks-ed up with the language change? Is that why kcbob is having trouble?

[Julius Brenzaida]

No, it shouldn't have anything to do with the languages : the saved file is the same. Kcbob, why not reinstall the scenario in another folder and then try again. There is no reason it shouldn't work. Unzip the scen in the new folder, then put the saved game in that folder. It should work
Ok Rasputin and then the Marquis. I think Kcbob should play as soon as he is ready and not wait for everybody to play, especially since the SG's are on holidays.
And what about Etchellion who was ready to help the military plans of Raspoutine

PS. Wishing I could join the SGs in PAris, seems like fun !!!

Raz
The SGs are in France, but not in Paris. I don't feel allowed to tell where they are discussing their secret plans.
Anyway, you have no need to be afraid of their reaction since the adviser who comes after you is 'Monsieur le Marquis de Sodaq' who is a real gentleman. I am sure he wouldn't say a nasty word, even if he were very unsatisfied with the savegame he receives.
kcbob
Follow Julius advice. I think it is good advice, since both Rasputin and SG1 managed to load my savegame without any problem.
Burn the heathens!

A part ça, le trésor des templiers, même en anciens francs aurait bien aidé le financement de notre croisade !
C'mon boys, let's play !

The gits are not far from the city which is considered by many (myself included) as the capital of 'goat cheese' (cheese made with goat milk).
One more hint: the name of that city is 'holy'.

Now my new signature line spares me the need to make any snide commentary about previous turns.

When I think 'goat cheese,' I think Chevre or Montrechet (spelling?). Or is this inferior fromage that gets shipped overseas because the French won't touch it?

I do like your new sig (but I confess that those dunkeys also made me dream now and then).
'Chèvre' is the french word for 'goat': should be OK.
'Montrechet': never heard that name (perhaps it is a new sort of cheese that appeared after the US created that 100% overtax, which applies to 'Roquefort' and perhaps some other kinds ).
There are many kinds of goat cheese in this country, but the one I wrote about is considered the best by all cheese specialists AFAIK).

Roquefort

I mentioned 'Roquefort' because of the tax, but there is not an ounce of goat cheese in it (neither goat, nor cow, then guess what?).

[La Fayette]

Halleluia Jerushalaim

Marquis, have you gone on playing your own 'crusades' game whilst waiting for Raz's savegame?
I went on playing mine and can give you a summary of the speech held by King Lionsheart in Jerusalem on the 17th of august 1263:
'Béni soit le Seigneur et honni soit qui mal y pense.
Le Saint Sépulcre est désormais sous bonne et chrétienne garde'.


(La Fayette, proud owner of the Wailing Wall)

[Marquis de Sodaq]

enfin...

No, I've not even had the computer on for the last four days. Some Dutch-speaking people showed up on friday, then my sister arrived on saturday. Since then we've eaten like swine (feta included) and geouwehoerd. I'll return to the virtual crusade soon enough...

Ahem... six tomorrows have passed. Did you get caught up with tsar assassinations and such? Shall I take the next turn? With little sister in town, I may find more time to play civ...

Another Russian revolution
Maybe a remake of the cold war between Kansas (Kcbob) and tsarist Russia (Rasputin)
Marquis, I think (but I am not the only one involved), I think you should take advantage of the circumstances and proceed in the game.
The holy land has long enough belonged to the infidels

[Rasputin]

my humble apologies guys, couldnt get a turn i liked and so kept trying again, then got stuck at work on overtime all week. I am giving myself a severe lashing.... I will jump back in next round !!! Sorry again !!!!

[Marquis de Sodaq]

I have downloaded the 1165 save game, and it looks to work properly. As kcbob and Rasputin have thrown in the proverbial towel, I shall forthwith behead heathens! The Archbishop of Sodaq rides again!

(I'll play tonight if possible, otherwise on the morrow...)

[Marquis de Sodaq]

The crusade continues...

1166ad - The Archbishop of Sodaq resumes control of the floundering crusade. He orders workers to new tasks, speeding research to 21 turns per tech.

1167 - The heathens of Konigsburg are converted for a fat sack of gold. Our preachers explained to them that they are going to hell, but that the winters are quite warm there. They wholeheartedly embraced our glorious religion. Some chump named Machiavelli, no doubt on the HRE payroll, published a history of the most powerful kingdoms. The English are called hopeless!

1168 - The Holy GeRomans discover the secret of the Compass. How convenient... We shall dispatch a nosy missionary to extract this secret knowledge. A caravel is sent off the explore the northlands.

1170 - Saladin is crowned Sultan of the heathens.

1171 - Our nosy missionary has sacrificed himself for our cause. The postman delivered an envelope containing detailed instructions about the compass! Now our Nay-Vee shall grow. Oops! Our caravel delivering goods accidentally sinks an Andalusian ship. Missionaries convert the chilly city of Uppsala for another sack of gold.

1172 - Gem merchants arrive in Marieburg. The church earns 84 gold.

1173 - Our knowledgeable monks have invented the Crossbow! No more flimsy defenders for us. Hopeless? Ha!

1174 - Our fleet delivers Wine to Seville for 97 gold. Missionaries on the eastern front convert Gnesen.

1175 - We deliver wine and dye to Cordoba for 593 gold! Alas, our brave ships ended the year stranded in a nest of Andalusian bad guys. Oh, well, we'll be upgrading the fleet soon with our new knowledge. Godspeed to our sailors who will soon be on their way to heaven.

The Archbishop steps down as leader of the crusade. Research is down to 19 turns/tech. Only one more meaningful tech to study, theology. The barracks are now rolling out knights and other brave fighters for the spread of the Anglican Word. Satisfied with his work, de Sodaq goes off to visit the convent. Those curvy young nuns grow quite lonely, you know...
