Sure, im ok with Lurken hosting. Maby we have better luck with him. It shouldnt be due to my connection tho, hosting in HoI2 seems to run fine even with 10 players. But trying someone else is ok, ill do anything to get rid of those crashes :rolleyes:

And heres the Save from the session
 
My humblest apologies to you all.
I should've informed you that sometimes my connection goes down unexpectedly and there's no way to restore it and let you know I cannot go on.
This happened to me twice in Omni Ab Deo Adaquateur and seems to continue happening.
I am really curious about the reason and will call my ISP today for an explanation.

Next time I suddenly go nonresponsive, continue the game without me.

Regarding hosting - if Lurken's sure he has a better connection/PC, then no problem, however I think that Tzare's hosting was just fine apart from a few lags.
We had quite little crashes compared to Mare Nostra game.

Hope to see ya in bigger numbers next time!:)
 
Np Bin, i rememberd this from our games in Omni Ab Deo Adaqua. So i presumed it was the cause now to, and told the others. It was a pity tho, Sterk seemed eager to do some fighting with yo. :p
 
Never realized that Germany is a monster even stripped of Burgundy and Italy...
 
What the hell... i must have downloaded the wrong file... I see HRE in Bulgaria, England in Scotland with Wales as a vassal, Italy messing with Apulia, Pereyaslavl in Kiev, Pagans near Hungary totaly smashed out... What the hell is going on? I though this game was for non-expansion issues, still everyone grabbed land fast in only 6 years. About those pagans what hapened? They usually NEVER declare war on anyone... don't tell me you simply invaded them...

- if a player writes an AAR, he recieves up to 2.5BB (+1%loyalty/month) BB reduction for each session where he did write an AAR. The rating system is yet to be devised.

Woha, such a bonus just for writing an AAR? Isn't that something unfair? :confused:

I wasn't there and according to what people have told me, it was AI versus AI, with Riddermark bailing non-human played Bulgaria from being crushed, and the AI of Germany joined in.

No. It is perfectly fair. It gives an incentive to write AARs and to creat the history of the world.

No you haven't. This is the correct save. England is AI, no way to change that. Wales is a vassal in with Touch of Astrea to let Wales survive. I took some provinces in Apulia, but that was perfectly fair, they were direct vassals of the Duke or independent, that is with the rules. Pereyaslavl had claims and used it. The Pechenegs (the pagans near Hungary) would have wiped Bulgaria out, so Hey Steve was allowed to fight them if he wouldn't take land. But then the German AI stepped in and took the lands. That Hungary and Poland have lands there is again with the rules as their allies asked them to. Germany asked Hungary, which was allied with Poland and the game asks automatically so Sterkarm was allowed to step in.

@Hey Steve: No problem, we had another ctd by Sterkarm after he said he would call it a day but Varyar and me wanted to go on. Then we decided to not try it again since it was rather unstable in the end.
 
I will update the first post with relevant data shortly.

Regarding AARs:
Everyone should try and read all the other people's AARs and give them 'cookies' from 1 to 5 for each session. Cookie count multiplied by 0.5 will be the amount of BBs reduced, thus it wont always be 2.5, more like 1-1.5 reduction.
And please try to be fair. Do not think like 'Uhh, he's my enemy, gonna give him 1 cookie for that kick he made last session', think like 'Hehe, that guy is really good, without him game would be tad more boring, and his AAR writing is a brilliant piece of propaganda, he deserves at least 4!'.
In other words, if you feel like using an RL power (meaning this rating system) to alleviate ingame balance, avoid rating at all - I will only be taking in the account the average value of people who post ratings.
This system is meant for fun and historical roleplay.
If you cannot live past your game feelings in forum, you better not play at all, it's not gonna be good for your health.
Also, I will only take into account ratings of players of this game.


Also EGO, please note, that even 2.5 BB is only -1%loyalty per month. In MP games there are often situations when a player or AI manages to grab up to 10+ BBs per single session and it's very hard to get back to low, especially if your piety happens to be low.
Besides, a smaller bonus for an AAR wouldn't really encourage people..;)

And for all those who think this was much expansion for first session, I admit that I was being a bit more agressive than usually - I needed to get up to strenght of Poland or be dead. The other two things - pecheneg bash and England's rampage were pretty local and small scale.

As far as I've heard from MTT players, their first session was a level of magnitude more hot.
 
Updated 1st post.
 
A note about players BTW: Ganso will in fact be playing Kingdom of Sweden, if he shows up and still wants to play as the 'of Munsö' dynasty. The duke of Uppland inherited the throne early, for unknown reasons.
 
binTravkinAs far as I've heard from MTT players said:
Yup, when the first crusade was issued and even before that, it was pagan-bash galore, me bashing up in Iberia, KoM bashing in scandinavia, Kle and Sterk bashing in baltics and russia...it was mayhem. So this is very calm start, and I hope it will be. I would like to see some muslims alive to the conversion.

If the GMs permit, I'd like to join and play as the Kingdom of Leon. I need something to satisfy my Sunday CK MP fix now that Omni ab Deo is done.
 
You're in ;)
 
First post updated, now just do some training, so you're ready for Sunday (you'll need to catch up a little as of missing first session)!:)
 
I've uploaded the the edited version

All I did was distract 1.5 BB from Poland's BB count, so I doubt Im running risk of more crashes.

Please download the file before start of the session and use it.

Also - I'll probably be a bit late, aiming for first rehost.
Gimme an ICQ msg when you do.
 
Okey, me, Varyar and Tzare are waiting in Vnet, where are everybody?
 
Varyar. When you solve your probs, come in we'll rehost eventually.
