Judea accepts. However, by next turn, Jerusalem must be fully restored to its former state.devoncop wrote: ↑Sun Sep 15, 2019 4:29 pmThe offer is accepted provided no raiding of any kind occurs on Egyptian,Arabian or Nabatean regions.Yaitz331 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 15, 2019 3:42 pmSo does Ptolemy approve of this compromise?Yaitz331 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 15, 2019 12:09 pmJudea's compromise suggestion is this: Seeing as how Judea's two reasons for wanting the extra region are to form the province and remove an Arabian region in Judea's rear, taking the region, forming the province, and then abandoning the region will satisfy both of Judea's wishes and be entirely acceptable to Ptolemy. As that will leave Judea with two of the four regions of the province, the province will not be destroyed by this abandonment.
This will satisfy Judea's wishes, and I see no reason why Ptolemy would object.

I think Devoncop is beginning to understand what drove the Babylonians and the Romans into tearing down temples.

Yeah, I've got a load of turns built up. I'll set start posting them when we are nearer the end.devoncop wrote: ↑Tue Sep 10, 2019 2:56 pmIf you are still intending to post a you tube lets play on this game I will be very interested to see how the Saka have been to play, never having chosen them as yet.Greyhunterlp wrote: ↑Tue Sep 10, 2019 1:46 pm I should really post in here.
Saka has accepted a peace treaty from the Selucids, as with the death of our allies, there is just to much land to the south to take.
We will seek other, more peaceful, westernly options for expansion.

Some issues about the impact of patches on MP games.
From the beta we found it was very easy for people to do their turn using different patches which in turn generated the error message for modified games.
What I'd suggest is that when 1.4 is out Devoncop (don't want to dump responsibility on him but think someone has to set this out) puts something in the thread along the lines 'of make sure you complete T40 using 1.3' or similar. If not, if I recall, teh error message goes away once everyone is using the same scripts but of course its frustrating while it pops up?

I will do that as soon as I have any idea when it is coming out (or if I am unaware then I will send out a message about the script warning to everyone.)

Re: Arranging MP Game....Interested ?
Those on steam may me be auto-patched without realising it, so it will probably be better just to message everyone to ignore the script warning when the patch comes out.
Re: Arranging MP Game....Interested ?
Yeah I was thinking about this for our other game. Technically you can revert back to the previous version (usually) in the steam platform options in your library, but that might be a bit too much screwing around and might create even worse problems.
You could ask everyone to just turn off auto-patching for the game in anticipation of the new patch release, but again, I'm sure people will forget.

I am sure no one in this game will be using privately modded files.ledo wrote: ↑Wed Sep 18, 2019 1:34 amYeah I was thinking about this for our other game.

I think we just ignore the script warnings if they pop up.
Re: Arranging MP Game....Interested ?
No I had the same thought. I was just worried people would freak out when the message popped up. I just ignore it in most cases. I figure its unlikely anyone's actually bothering to mod the game to their advantage, and if they are there's not much I can do about it.

Re: Arranging MP Game....Interested ?
A couple things to be aware of:
- Data mismatches due to a patch are expected and will not be reported to the players as a mismatch. Players helping with the beta may have seen otherwise due to hotfixes released between proper beta versions.
- Shortly after a patch is available, the server will not allow players to use multiplayer if they are not up to date. Once a game has progressed using a new version, old versions of the game would not be able to play turns correctly and it isn't practical to have players involved in multiple games coordinate when to update otherwise.

Excellent Andrew.
That clarifies things perfectly.

What sort of wild parties have you got going on up there in the back of beyond ?

Re: Arranging MP Game....Interested ?
actually yes ... the Picts sort of did. The place name 'Tarbert' means a portage point between 2 bodies of water (while its actually Norse-Scots Gaelic in origin there is some evidence it was a word adapted from the original Pictish - Irish-Gaelic uses a different word for the same concept), there are (confusingly for many visitors) about 8 small towns with that name across the west of Scotland where 2 bodies of water are close but split by land.
so if the Saka party is good enough ... we'll be there
ok we need to dodge some big bouncers on the way, but even the Antigonids can't be everywhere?

But how are you going to portage your boats all the way to the Caspian? Not really a narrow crossing.
If rivers were navigable, you could go through Russia, but they're not.
