Crusader Scenario Succession Game?

[Julius Brenzaida]

Marquis, the will of God is in your hands now
Glad to see Rasputin back and glad to see the game proceed

[La Fayette]

goat cheese and crusades

1) Goat cheese
I have met the SGs.
They allowed me to tell you that the French capital of goat cheese is named Sainte Maure (that's why I wrote it was 'holy'), a small town about 30 km south of Tours. The SGs are staying quite close to the capital (... of goat cheese) in a little village called Pussigny. They have bright sun, a swimming pool, and a reasonable quantity of red, white and rosé wine. It may therefore be expected that their next secret plans turn to be even more secret than usual.

2) Crusades
Raz
I feel sorry that you stopped. None of us is ever completely satisfied with the way he just played, and none of us really cares about winning this succession game, so I bet you should have gone on playing, even if you felt you might have done better.

Marquis
Nice and christian auntie, taking care of those youngsters while holy Marquis is riding eastwards at full speed...
(take a look at the techtree though, and tell me what you think about 'holy devotion')

Hate to interrupt, but I just had to say, great thread guys. I was stuck at work last night and read the whole thing - took an hour

And I'll probably play the Crusader scenario in CiC just to get a feel for what you're facing. (I know, that's not the correct scenario, but I don't have FW/MGE)

Can't wait to see how it ends. From what I've seen so far, sounds like a good challenge!

Thanks for the cheers
Whose turn is it to play
It's the Gits I think
Are they back from Goat Cheese City

[La Fayette]

Gits

Julius
IIRC the Gits should be back to Liverpool on Monday.
IIRC SG1 is next on the list.
So you probably get your next savegame on Wednesday or Thursday.
Wait and see.

STYOM
The CiC 'crusades' scenario has a smaller map and less bizarre units, but I'm sure it is also quite a challenge when played as the English.
Don't forget to post your result when you finish it (if you feel like it) and your name will be written in the tiny 'CiC scenarios Hall of Fame'.

(La Fayette, looking at someone who plays a lot of scenarios and never posts one's brilliant results, so that even his best friends have no idea how good he is)

[Julius Brenzaida]

Don't worry LaFayette, I'm not in such a hurry to play
It's just that I know by experience that when the rythms slows too much in a succesion game, it can be hard to regain speed and finish it at all

[Scouse Gits]

Hi guys, we're back and on the job of running the Church Militant in search of some decent red wine... I mean Infidels of course

Game d/led, on SG2s machine so he will probably play first and pass on to me (SG1) - I should have my own machine back running in the next day or two and maybe even on line by the end of the week - we shall see...

SG1 - playing with SG2's machine

Holy Devotion

La Fayette, it seems I once again failed to clearly state what I intended. What I meant to say with "one more" useful tech was after the current study of theology. Must remind oneself to reread what I've just written before posting... Perhaps a little vin rouge et fromage de chevre will clear the head?

Also, monsieur, try playing the scenario Rome 280bc on the Scenario League site. That might be another good one for a succession game.

Welcome back, SG's. The heathens are trembling in fear.

Julius, I'm glad to hear you feel safe with the Marquis at the helm, keeping God's will in deed.

[Scouse Gits]

The Anchorite SG1 resumed control of the Church Militant late in the Year of Our Lord 1175 and promptly thrust the Research Rate down to 80 turns in favour of a cash rich economy. Several launderettes were completed around the Empire and the absence of a well placed Missionary to convert the revolting city of Bremen was seriously regretted ...

1176 - Coal: Oslo-Luebeck: 70g
1177 - HRE develop Philosophy - of no obvious utility to us.
1178 - 1182 - not much ...
1183 - Spice: Dublin-Bordeaux: 180g; Gold: Limerick-Bordeaux: 64g; Beads: Cardiff-Hamburg: 82g; Posen converted for 424g
1184 - Gold: Lund-Magdeburg: 96g; now half way to Theology ...
1185 - not a lot, but several caravans are now poised for delivery ...

Good luck ...

Revitalised

Ok guys thanks for the encouragement to continue, will take my turn when it comes around, even if it means a backward step for the Crusade I shall play !!!

[Scouse Gits]

Re: Revitalised

Good for you Raz - just keep on slogging ...

SG2 used to play after SG1, didn't he?
AFAIK we are waiting for HIS results.

(SG2, dreaming of goat cheese instead of paying attention to the holy crusade)

[Julius Brenzaida]

Please reassure me
It was not my turn to play
SG (2) have you sheathed the holy sword

[Scouse Gits]

Be reassured - the High Admiral (SG2) has the con - but I understand tha he is beset by both the Holy Roman Empire and people requiring his professional services [NOW!] and so will probably be another 24 hours or so before he can post ...
