Roman Civil War ToT PBEM playtest

[techumseh]

Kull, I think MagCru has his finger on the best way to proceed with the new events. I wonder though, if the new events will then be permanently imbedded in your sav. file, or if this only occurs when a scenario is begun?

ANZAC, I think a schism is not a bad thing, esp. in a Civil War scenario. But I take the point that appropriate alternatives need to be prepared in the Rules txt.

If any pop-up messages ocurr, I guess it's up to you (ANZAC) to post them here.

BTW, and this is most embarrassing, where do I change the name of railroads which appears on the map? I overlooked changing this to "clouds" when trying to finish up the scenario.

Thanks for your input everyone.

labels.txt? Just open it up and do a quick search on the word railroad.

Thanks guys. I must have forgotten to save my changes. It was the first place I tried.

Never changed the events file but here my turn

Troops move around, some parthians destroyed.

[fairline]

Kull has kindly agreed to take over the Parthians while I'm away from this Friday onwards. Hope this is OK with everyone.

[techumseh]

Mighty Caesar does not object, as long as fellow truimvir Crassus does not.

[Civfan]

ok with me

I don't know Fairline... if Kull plans on defending Parthia the way he defended Pallantia you might not have a civ to control when you come back.

[Kull]

The virtuous Vercingtorix knows naught of this "Kull" of whom the Pompous One doth speak. But if to trust and suffer betrayal is a great fault, than certainly the King of the Gauls is guilty of that. As for Pompey, that whelp of whores can take solace in at least one fact - his "word" truly is worth it's weight in merde!

[Kull]

"Message to Julius Caesar":

And who could this be, astride a bony nag outside the mighty fortress of Gergovia? It seems that Caesar has grown tired of licking his wounds and comes forth in search of new ones! Rest assured, the Gauls will gladly assist ye in this quest.

"Message to Pompous the Miniscule":

What ails ye, o' mighty warrior? Thy troops laze about in the fields near Legio, their spears growing rustier by the day. Could it be that they are discomfited by the sight of armed Gauls upon the walls? Alas for thee, these defenders are not women and children as was the case in Pallantia. But take heart treacherous one - thy strategy of waiting for the garrison to die of old age is certain to bear fruit - in 50 annum or so!

You obviously don't know just how bad at this game I am...

Egypt has disassembled her navy into catapults. Jerusalem must fall. With a brash new General leading her armies, it just might work.

I call upon the armies of our friend and neighbour Cleopatra to aid us in ejecting the upstart Crassus and retoring the lands of the East to their rightful owners (there might be a few quid in this for you Cleo )

Cleo expresses regret at being unable to intervene on either side of the conflict due to several pesky barbarian city-states blocking the way.

[Civfan]

Crassus believes its in best interest for both Egypt and Rome to stay out of this little conflict!
