Maup: I don't know whether You got the savegame or not. You apparently couldn't answer.
But everytime You join we have a TCP transfer error.

Our last savegame lays in the first post.
Thanks again for playing.
HC, You are very welcome to perm Carthage, I seem to remember You said You couldn't - the invitation stands.
To Khal Drogo:

To Khal Drogo:
While I was told the Roman player backpedalled on His agreement with You - You must realise that is part of the "diplomatic" game. I do not know what went through Your mind, whether You were upset or simply bored: it was quite frustrating for Your fellow players to have and play with Carthage missing (HisCoolness took over Carthage, saving us from rather tedious circumstances).
You may sometimes feel wronged, but stick to the game. Distrust the player perhaps, but do not quit.
I do not mean to sound patronising: after playing several campaigns, You realise those won't last, unless all agree to regularly and orderly participate.

Ok first of all;
Sry for yesterdays delay, I had a busy day from the morning till night...
Secondly...
Nice session last night even thou the war did not go 100 % our way...^^
Will be interesting to see what next session brings...
My guess is that lord silk takes the ring of power and try to rid middle earth from all forces of light... ^^
Then shall Boshporia fight to the bitter end, like the hobbit it is...
bring out the men and their... daggers!!!!!!!!!
Ok, and now some analysis and just not spam:
Casualty list in Selucia by the dagger so far…
1-3 generals (I tried to kill of the general of the stack that were attacking me thou timing was very hard in this case; so even if I killed a general I think someone else managed to replace him before battle started… timing is all… )…
1 King, as usually by targeting the monarch can force instability in the Kingdom if circumstances are right…
Thou compared to Egyptian Kings; Seluc Kings seem to either;
1) Have a body guard
2) Have more than 1 ife
3) Have a little less desire to die then Egyptian kings
4) Or they simply harder to hit, (we heard rumors of dark wizards and other evil stuff ^^)
So I was less successful on this front then in the court of Alexandria; where my men with daggers were welcomed with cheers and trumpets; free to walk the way to the kings back, and send him a dagger…
lol

Yes another thrilling session... once it got going and boy did we get some of the worst of paradox multiplaying last night.
So it was pleasing that we also got some of the best with some competative PvP wars, good diplomacy and definitive wars.
I would rather focus on the positives here (well my main action anyway):
Well my plan was of course to attack the Seleucids, it was really what could be understood as a last stand as I had engaged both the Macedonians and the Bosphur kingdom in diplomacy to join me in the fight.
Rome, was reluctant with obvious Carthage based reasons to join the 'gangbang' on the Seleucid empire.
With three on one surely the Seleucids would be broken you may think?
You would of course be wrong, the first mistake was to introduce and play the Bosphur and Macedonian hand too soon. The Bosphur player in particular was keen to get involved in the combat too soon, and it was soon revealed that the Macedonians were ill-prepared for the war also.
So whilst it appeared to all that Egypt had gained huge amounts in fact due to endless battle defeats of Bosphur and Macedonia our war score was negative.
I was hopeful that when the Seleucids peaced out the Macedonians (who frankly quickly became a dead wieght in the alliance) that the war score would shift dramitacally. But due to the endless losses suffered by the Bosphourans the warscaore remained negative.
Eventually attrition and being outmanauvered started to dramitically effect the income and the economy of Egypt and I quickly sealed a peace.
It may appear from this report that I am shifting blame on Macedonia and Bosphur - that is not my intention. It is clear that I should have played the Bosphur hand much later... I should have ensured that Macedonia was fully prepared also before joining. Mauper was somewhat reluctant to say the least.
For Egypts part we actually pulled off some magnificent victories and it was rather thrilling to see us pillage our way to Babylon, but this was a house of cards that came a tumbling down.
Finally, I am on my holidays next week. I have a substitute in mind and will get back to you later on that situation.
Of course we now need a new Carthage player - I hope that the excellent His Coolness is available to take up the reigns for another session perhaps.

Yea, the arrival of Bosphoria and Macedonia was far to early...
My idea of getting involved early was to stress Selucs into misstakes early on and forgett armies... and to make an early blitz...
thou I was suprised by macedonias inhability to recist...(which had an explanation) LOL
However... there was one thing I forgott to put into the calculation...
Seluc was run by silk...
And panic is not one of his attributes...
Which in essens means I was wrong from the begining....... even if I should have known anyway... that my manpower pool is to low to maintain a long campaign...
So this will be lesson nr 2(last session was nr 1)^^
neeeeeext...

Well, well, well. Mercurial being the first MP campaign I play, it's a real eye-opener for me. Silk was right. I remember that he said that MP was great and better than SP. Of course, he was recruiting to pursue his evil ways on peaceful kingdoms
In the last game, Macedonia was played by another for a few years. Yes, I did not understand how to properly join the game with the transition from 1.1 to 1.2 unmodded. The armies were reorganized but I missed a crucial point.
When the rightful war against Seleucids was declared, I was happy to join. Bosphorus and Macedonia should have waited before joining the fray, that's right. Nearly all my battles were lost against Silk and I did not understand. He had sometimes more units but there was worse attrition for him. What could it be ? My armies were utterly routed and had huge losses. Then the answer came : the Army maintenance slider was on 50 %. Aaaarrgh !!!!
It was set during my missing years and I did not see it. Of course, when I first played EU3 last year, I understood the hard way to set this at maximum some months before battle. And I rarely play with this slider now.
So frustating to see the war lost this way, not being able to play my part in this war. :-(
But it was too late, Manpower was 0, it was the end and I had to settle for peace .
Macedonia's future is bleak now. But I'll be there next sessions to play. Seems that Silk convinced me to join the dark side of the game

Announcing Zimfan as the substitute who will take my place next week.
I have given him a brief overview of the situation and some of the strategies that he could employ.
To give you a flavour Egypt feels that certain members of its alliance failed to carry their weight in the recent engagement with the Seleucid hegemony, and as such these members are to be discarded.
Egypt has gone even further to pledge a recognition of 'Greek' supremacy to the descendents of Seleucus and as such is unwilling to press any of its claims against the empire.

Gentlemen, the famed Letar will now be perming Carthage, in our campaign.
All hail Him!
I am planning to post a summary report ov our last session, inspired by Your own narrations.

Welcome to Letar !
Just a quick note to say that I'll be on a business trip wednesday. In Anjou but no relation with In nomine's release ;-)
I should be back on time to play the game.

Could someone briefly explain what the current situation roughly is, especially with Carthage? I see a save in the first post, that is the current one, yes?

The latest savegame is indeed in the first post, the screenshots will be updated soon.
Seten (Rome) is perhaps best suited to narrate Carthage's events, but here goes the Seleukos' version:
After a long lasting cold war, Rome and Egypt decided to take on Carthage. Ptolemy certain of His non aggression pact with the Seleucid, managed to put His full and gracious weight in a North African invasion: the results still show - Egypt conquered two provinces from Carthage. Rome, I believe, didn't manage to snatch anything during that war (please correct me).
Rome and Carthage were once again at each other's throat, after the Romans decided it was time to put their far superior navy to good use. After a long struggle, Rome managed to get the Baleares and Corsica in a peace deal which apparently included non colonisation of Iberia.
Now, given the Roman player decided to backpedal on His deal and continued colonising Iberia - Khal Drogo, our Carthaginian perm, decided to leave (an irritating decision for others). That is where You step in, Letar.
I am not sure, but I believe the previous player (HisCoolness) had signed a temporary NAP with Egypt (for the session's duration). Egypt took advantage of that and declared on the Seleucid Empire, along with Bospho and Maupertonia.
Given their common enemies Carthage and the Seleucid have grown closer: they now are each other's most important trading partners. The Seleucids provided funds during the Punic wars, and eventually so did Carthage, during the Ptolemaic aggression.
I hope that sums it all up, I am afraid I may have forgotten details.
