New SDMB Cooperative Total War Game

Ditto, so I emailed Gukumatz the save game file, since I want to get cracking, I hope ISOT doesn’t mind that we skipped him.

Since you’re next I imagine Gukumatz will email you the save game file next - fortunately his email is in his profile, so send an email letting him know your address and Robert’s your father’s brother.

I sent him an email with my contact info. Can’t wait :slight_smile:

Oh! It must’ve gone somewhere I didn’t see it! Could you please send it again? Or send it to Kobayashi?

The savegame is not playing nice with my version of TW and since I have the Steam version and slow internet, I can’t download the huge-ass patch in time before I leave on Sunday =( So you get the turn that was after Kobayashi, looks like.

ETA: Found it! Save sent! Good luck!

Hmm, I can’t find my saved game folder in Vista, anyone know where it is?

You couldn’t get the savegame to open at all? Dang. I had heard the steam version was finickity about Kingdoms.

Knock 'em dead, Kinthalis!

It should be in Program Files–>SEGA–>Um…data?

I found it and it’s buried under like 10 folders and only visible if you set hidden and system folder to visible. :dubious:

Anyway, I played 1 turn so far, and I’ll finish up tonight after my holiday shopping is done. For King Kinthalis must have a feast befitting his grandeur!

Probably where your attachments automatically download to. I stuck mine on the desktop then moved it in to the ‘saves’ folder in the Medieval II directory, then you can just load it up straight off.

Edit: We agreed on 26 turns right?

5/25

Sorry, I knew where the saved file was, my downloads directory, but I couldn’t find the saved game folder for Medieval II.

Apparently in vista, it’s not in the program files, but instead buried under Users/your user name/appdata/local/virtualstore/progrma files/sega/medievalII/saves

FYI in case anyone else is on Vista. I hope they change that for empire total war.

Good to note.

As I’m the underclass of the forum with my guest status, I suppose I don’t get access to private messages.

I’ll be emailing out my contact information shortly, assuming I can view profiles with my current privileges.

For Poland!

I’ll be sending you the saved game file tonight, I should be done by then. I’ll also update as to the status of our empire then.

long live Poland!

Capital! Happy conquering - let us know every brutal detail!

Our order of play is a bit out of wack, ISOT, are you good to forward the save file to appleciders when you’re done?

Yes, it’s safe to say that we shouldn’t get loaded up into a time machine and take over medieval Poland, for we’d conquer the know universe with shitty soldiers!

Family showed up a day early :frowning: I got stuck cooking dinner for 6, and now I have to entertain and cede the PC to kids… :frowning: I only go to play 3 turns! 3 lousy turns. Not much done, focused on extending our sight by adding some watch towers.

I forwarded the save file. Enjoy!

I never mess with watch towers. That takes money. Money I’d rather use by taking settlements in diplomacy with other nations.

Really? I live for towers. An easy way to get warned of an impending attack, and I hate those blind spots. Besides, a tower costs only what two turns of upkeep on a spy costs.

Then again, I play this game like a banker- all my money gets plowed into improving my economy and I take almost no risks. Markets, ports, and farmland, and I attack only when I’m heavily favored. I’ve got a game going with the Turks where I literally can’t spend money faster than I bring it in. I haven’t had a balance under three thousand in twenty turns, each city is building something, and my armies just keep on rolling on. Of course, sacking cities helps my bottom line a bunch, too, and the fact that my empire of thirty-some territories contains only four castles.

I stick em in likely invasion routes (near bridges, fords, mountain passes); cheaper than spies. Most of them I tend to inherit from conquered territories, and the AI places them seemingly at random.
