Sleep when you're dead. Play CK now! ;)

I live in Michigan, so we generally start around 1 am my time. Start time doesn't bother me, though, because 1) I was up that late playing in the last MP game anyways and 2) a 1 am start time gives me an excuse to stay up late and play my other games. I don't sleep much anyways, though, so that doesn't bother me much.

By the by, are people planning on playing tomorrow night?
 
I'm game, and if I'm willing to play the rest of you guys don't have an excuse. (Jan 1st being my birthday and all...)
 
I'll be visiting my grandmother tomorrow and if there is no game, I'd prefer staying overnight. I'll check here at 12:00 finnish time tomorrow and if there's no indication that Solmyr can play, I'll assume we won't play. Though Solmyr, if you could play and don't read this before 12:00 tomorrow, you can send me text message about it before 18:00 or so tomorrow and I can (likely) still arrange to be at home at game time.
 
Nevermind a custom character. Will just choose one of the in game ones since the game is already under way. :) Will still need to get a hold of a link to the scenario and any additional mods/etc I need. :cool:

Update:

Hmm.. edit button good. Multiple posts bad. So... got the last save listed in the forum but do I also need the original scenario? Do I need any mods? Tried to load it and got an error. Only came with one .eug file also... does that matter? And am I asking a lot of questions? :eek:o

Hehe. Sorry guys. Want to try to make it for this next game. I have Monday off so it won't matter my staying up so late. :)

You don't need the original scenario or any other mods. The current save is enough. The game is on sunday morning at 7:00 Central European Time, which is 22:00 Pacific time, 23:00 Mountain time, 0:00 Central US time and 1:00 Eastern US time. So it's the night between saturday and sunday for you americans.
 
Alrighty. Duchy of Saxony. Though I suspect if this is tonight I won't be there. Normally Sundays I work afternoonish but due to the New Years I get to go in super early so... I doubt I will make it. Don't hold up for me obviously.

I have the Nov patch and looked over the save game. If I could I would like ot have my character/dynasty edited.

I will lose all the previous dynasty just like a regular dynasty change. This is fine and will be fun for the RP value. I keep seeing a reference to 6 stats which confuses me greatly. I shall make a guess and gather that health and fertility are the other two? If so here is the character set up.

0/4/10/10/8/8
Proven Accountant, Bastard, Sceptical, Wise, Lustful

If a wife can be created she would be:

0/10/6/10/7/7
Proven Accountant, Sceptical, Energetic, Wise, Selfish

The RP of it would be a bastard son overthrowing his father or claiming the throne. :) Anyway, I hope to be able to make it tonight but if not will be there next week. All I need to know now is where online? CK MP lobby? Or is there a direct connect addy I need? Thanks. Hope to see you guys tonight.

Oh... and if editing in a character at this phase is too... not good, then show mercy and don't assassinate my only heir with the NPC Duke. :eek:
 
If GB can't most likely make it tonight's (american time) session, I suggest we skip editing for at least this session. I'm fine with editing, though it seems you missed the limit of two traits + educational trait. ;)

A character has initially 4 trait-points to use (these are in addition to the 40 "attributepoints").

A character can not have more than five traits in any case.

Examples:
1) The character has 7-7-7-7-6-6 as the attributes.
He is a brilliant strategist and valorous, he is also honest but suffer from mania.
2) The character has 6-6-7-7-7-7 as the attributes.
He is a misguided warrior, valorous, zealot, honest and just.
3) The character has 7-7-7-7-6-6 as the attributes.
He is a proven dealbreaker, wise and generous

According to the rules it seems to read you can have four traits (five w/ your education trait). The examples seem to support this as character 2 has a total of five traits. So I am either completely reading the rules wrong, there is a more recent update I should instead be reading (though this is the info the link in the initial post points too), or I've once again gone insane... temporarily I hope. :wacko:

Won't be there tonight since the edit would have to go in after the session plus the early hour working tomorrow. But I very much look forward to playing next session.

Let me know about the character creation rules. If I am reading it wrong or it has been changed let me know and I will correct the character(s). Speaking of which, do you get to create your wife as well? Hehe. Have fun tonight guys.

Well, those examples also include special traits which allow you to pick additional traits, specifically level 1 education and maniac. Normally you can have an educational trait and two other traits, but if you pick traits that allow you to pick additional traits, then you can have more.

Greg, we recommend you keep the current Duke of Saxony's parents and simply edit him to whatever stats you like. He is 14 years old and so can be easily kept as a young man within the existing family (you can of course add a few years to him to make him adult, and we can add a wife to him as well).
 
Also, I didn't know if you had considered it, but the Kingdom of Bohemia is also an option for you to play. Two of the existing players are already Kings, and the third is well on his way to being an Emperor. Just thought I'd toss that one out for your consideration...

Will also check this out. Was going by the statement regarding not choosing the dukes who could be kings and what not. Will come back with either a corrected character or a change to King of Bohemia. :D

Udate:

Checked out the new save game and Bohemia would be great. Plenty of heirs lined up. If this works, let me know and I will be there next session. If on the other hand it doesn't work for some of the other people then I will fix the Duke of Saxony.

Also how many other realms are being played?

Duchy of Norfolk
Duchy of Thrace
Kingdom of Italy
Kingdom of Messopotamia(sp?)

Those four? Bohemia or Saxony would thus make five players total? Regardless, look forward to playing next game. Cheers.
