Stupid AI helped your ally in a for you completly useless war and claimed and after that took Tirol. And you are probably still at war with Romagna, who took Barcelona the last time I looked on it.
I was near to offer vassalisation to help them and give you free when you are back, but if you can do it next time that will not have to be done.
Well like most everyone bin made his opening move and took out the Duchy of Spanish March. Further into the game the Duchy of Bordeux got excommunicated. And instead of grabing the titles and being paitent waiting for his current rep to go down, he just took everything and accrewed alot of BB. He's spent most(if not all) of the session before last managing his BB, and probably would have been in the same boat this session.
Bin has some house keeping to do, but its manageable.
Just got around to posting here. Great session btw, even if some of us ended up better off than others. At the pace I'm going Germany will never be united. I DoW the count of Furstenberg and (understandably) his liege Swabia dows me in return. Then a moment later it's the "Gangbang Franconia Hour with your hosts the Dukes of Meissen, Saxony Karnten and Swabia."
Bah. My duchy is now officially devirginized, and only Burgundy's loan of 1300 ducats saved me from getting my realm split between the "Gruesome Foursome." I eventually whooped the Duke of Meissen's army, but couldn't get a claim on him so I had to settle for most of his treasury. And for some reason I went from about -10 to over -200 prestige; ironically enough this was during the same time someone else mentioned that their prestige was low, all I can say is weird...and bloody screwy, too, since there was NO valid reason at all that I could have gotten such a huge hit.
@CSK: don't worry I didn't forget I promised you one of my girls.
Will post in the diplomacy thread when I get home from first day of classes at uni from the holidays, oh joy.
I was asked by CSK, if i wanted to join, and if you need another i'd like to play. Only thing is its been ages since ive played CK-MP and im convinced im rather "newbie" compared to you guys.
If you still want me in, that be cool, and i would really enjoy some tips for a dutchy.
To be no "newbie" just play, that is the best way to get away from this.
As to the duchies, there is really much room in the north since DoS has gone. There is no player (that I know as I am newbie to this MP too) Northern and Eastern of Germany. The best duchies in the nordic countries from a short look are Bergen and Finland, though Finland's ally Karelen is quite good too.
Great Goose, always good to have another player in the mix. One thing though, for the record I have Saxony on my "eternal enemies" list so I can't promise you everlasting friendship should you decide to choose them.
I'd like to bring up a concern about possible rules violations.
I would simply like to make sure that absolutely NO Duchy or Kingdom titles are being directly claimed. My reason for this (and I am not accusing anyone of anything) is the sudden expansion of Bourgougne/Burgundy. Just a reminder to EVERYONE, you can only usurp or inherit claims on Duke and King level titles.
Well I wasn't watching him like a hawk but at the start of the last session he had claims of two of Dauphine's vassels. That would have given him enough land to usurp, or possibly enough presige to grab, but at that point that would be rather stupid so I'm not going to penealize him for making a mistake. Savoy and Langudoc both pledged to him and the title of Swiss was created not grabbed(I'm certain of that because it was what I was waiting for to end the last session).
Its seems I might have found a fix my computer at home. Which is good cause I really dont like waking up to drive 5 minutes in the morning before a game its alot nicer to beable to jsut wake up and walk into the next room no need to put in my contacts or anything.
Im going to want to do a test run joining someone elses game I was able to host and have Kujy join which was exciting but not enough to asure that its working right. I know people can join my games but that doesnt mean I can join others. So if anyone gets on and wants to help me with hosting a game for me to join just send me a IM on AIM:Goldenrod0o0 or ICQ:305-311-291.
On the note of grabbing Duke titles Im guilty of doing that atleast once, but since then I've only usurped. Which I found gives more prestige anyways when you force them to give up all the claims on the lands you justifibly took from there vassals.
We still need more people though so try to get friends....wish mine would show up. And if Leto hasnt told anyone hes leaving in a month.
Dauphine was usurped. I grabbed first one of their vassals, while one I had a claim on before. Then I attacked the one vassal I had no truce and just claimed the land and took him, I then took Daupine itself and broke the truce with Lyon to take its land. When I had annexed both vassals of Dauphine I had 2 of 3 Provinces of Dauphine and usurped it. I was holing their capitol half of the war without claiming a title.
But I was really lucky as Dauphine had claimed Provence right before and made one of his courtiers Count of that. I then took the title Duke of Dauphine in a peace and both remaining lands got my vassals.
I wondered myself I could do that so fast, but it was not against the rules I tell you. Even if I would have wanted to, I never got the prestige to claim a Duchy title. Not even in the end.
Yeah so I was thinking that when we get more titles and farther in that would could make custom CoAs. I saw the one on the Stange Pictures thread where the guy made a CoA for all his Titles and Im pretty sure I can make something like that to. Would just need to send it to you guys and have you replace PERS with it.
By the way guys, forgot to mention this earlier but if you know you will be absent or late to a session please post here ahead of time. I know most of you already do but this is a reminder, just so we don't have to start sending out search parties.
I am again outta this unfortunately, yesterday, right when I first ran the Many Kings Independent Counts scenario I've created (available at Scenarios and Modifications Uploads thread), my PC made a system halt.
I reacted with resetting and everything was fine until a couple of seconds after Windows had loaded, then it went black and silent.
Turning it back on resulted in the characteristic 'motherboard damaged' beep..
