SuccessionGame2, Team 2

[janilxx]

It seems that your game and you are introverted just as other suggestion game 2 team

No one does even comment my idea about pic of map. It was nice to read about frst suggestion game but when the game goes on and on you just can not follow the game anymore without the maps. But maybe you do not like audience You just lost one of your reader.

Sorry Janilxx,

I'm not sure, but I believe that you can post pics (bmp,jpg??) to the forum. Is anyone familiar with this? If so, does anyone know of an easy way to take a screenshot of the map to add with our posts?

I never actually tried it, but I think you need to reference the file that has the graphics and then use the UBB code (img) (/img) - except use [ brackets.

To capture a screen shot, all I know of is the old Ctrl-Alt-PrintScreen method. Then paste it in MS word or MS Paint or some such software.

Pretty good suggestion if it can be done easily. It would add a whole new
dimension to reading these threads.

If I get the chance today I'll work on a website to keep the logs updated and the Empire map. Maybe for all 3 games if you like?

Redstar - a Succession game website is a splendid idea! It'll be great if you could make one!

Anyone else got a comment on this? Maybe I should start a new thread for a website.....

Righty ho, I'll get something knocked up then. Anyone know what Apolyton's rules are for linking to it etc? Don't want to tread on any toes.

hey im not sure how to post stuff like that. I do have a free drive account if you guys want to use it. its free and i dont use it now......so i dont mind. Yea i noticed about coracles and carraks. i figured you just got them confused. It took forever to transport them i put the first soldiors onboard first turn, had about 5 more units there at end. its after 1 ad so turns 15 right???? i thought that was when you changed them. correct me if im wrong.

[Skeeve]

Yep, 15 turns after 1AD. Wow, you guys are quick!

[me_irate]

Thanks skeeve im glad you liked it, i try to add some personality to my posts.

Check my edited post above for suggestion as to how to take pics for posting here. Save them as JPGs with as much compression as possible so pages dont take forever to load, without making the pics too lossy.

I took one with terrain and units off to make borders and cities obvious, another to show terrain and units as well, and the powergraph (or whatever its called now) for Overall.

If you need hosting space for your pics you can email them to me, just remember to keep them small as possible.

Edit your post, at the bottom put the URL of your pictures surrounded by IMG tags. See here for more info:
http://apolyton.net/forums/ubbcode.shtml

If you dont put a return in between the first two pics (so they are on one line) they will appear side by side like that.

His successor was a bob doll that he had purchased at an antique show. Knowing this once a great leader he chose this doll as his successor and made all sware they will serve bob. Shortly thereafter the poor decrepit shamus died. The people were at a loss of what to do, having swore to serve bob they were at a loss. When finally one came up with an idea. Why dont we find the real bob. With this sugestion they searched and searched for many years for the lost leader. Finally they found bob living in the barb civ which is all that remains of canada. With their request he returns and takes the name once again of Irate. [This message has been edited by me_irate (edited May 15, 2001).]

Irate - I guess I didn't read this the first time, but now that I did I'm ROTFLOL! That was just the funniest succession of a leader I've read so far!!

I must say, I enjoy reading these summaries during my lunch hour!

Darkknight, seeing that noone actually wants to rule the country as rulers tend to get assasinated steps in to fill the vacuum. In his first day on the job he hires bodyguards to protect him from Shamus McRobinson the 70th.

1AD: news of a comet in the sky arrives from six men on camels. Hoplites are sent to the northwest to chack the peninsula there as French coracles have been seen nearby.

20AD: Two French coracles spotted coming from the east.

40AD: Rumours from France tell us that the Bob doll has been banned and all dolls are to be burned in a ritual sacrifice. Hearing of this Darkknight vows to conquer the French and rescue our famous patriots!!

60AD: Spanish share Alchemy for Theology, Soon our ships will rule the seas! We begin researching Gunpowder. A barbarian city, Ottawa, has been found to the North.

80AD: Army expands near GlasLough (NOTE L, I thought I'd never heard over glasgough )

100AD: army moves to surround Strasbourg, several skirmishes with catapults.

120AD: French coracle destroyed by new fire trireme!

140AD: STRASBOURG CAPTURED!! Force of twelve attacked, three knights lost but ten enemy units destroyed.

160AD: Gunpowder discovered! Research on Horse tactics have begun.

180AD: Army moves to Toulouse.

200AD: Darkknight drops into a coma as his bodyguard accidently knocks him with his Xtra long Xtra heavy ACME halberdier.

220AD: Toulouse captured, two of our knights were lost but a size 7 enemy army was destroyed!

240AD: Darkknight has by mistake finished the East India Trading co. but this could go well with plans to expand the trade system.

260AD: Nigerians and Spanish join us in our battle against the French, Subjects marvel at darkknights diplomacy skills!

280AD: Darkknight has again by mistake finished Hagia Sophia, He contemplates a plan to find out what else he is building.

300AD: Darkknight was accidently shot today by his bodyguard who was still unused to his new Xtra bulky Xtra powerful musket.

Just keep on bashing at the French, TallyHO!!

[jackazzstudent]

Thats not a problem, bashing the French is an old hobby of mine!!

that was the funnies post i have ever read Darkknight. i liked the part about the bob doll. not a prob with the wonders, india will help us transport better, i just dislike it because it expires. and hagia is only a little bit less powerful than gutes. we will most likely get all the rest of the wonders anyway. so its not a prob. Did you notice that i had two building india? i was hoping you would change it to something else b4 it got built. if not thats ok. good work. i just hope that they can survive long enough for me to get my revenge. but the way our army is going i doubt it.
