Re: "For Whom the Bell Tolls" PBEM Discussion/Update Thread

So who is still active in our game, I only see two, Surt and Montcalm (England)? Everyone else seems to be Idle.

Re: Court Expenses

Court expenses with the latest patch may have gone too far the other way. In our ongoing MP game as Byzantium, I have gone from Court expenses of -2500 to -500 in a few turns and now have a surplus of +2800 per turn.

Re: "For Whom the Bell Tolls" PBEM Discussion/Update Thread

On another issue, yes Court Expenses are becoming a problem again, currently-3500. It was a problem with 1.01, ceased to be an issue with 1.02, but now a problem again. I am having to make some radical money earning/cost cutting decisions, otherwise Byzantium could go bankrupt in 10-15 turns. Edit -...

Re: CHEATING in MP games - question to DEVS (mostly)

I never understood what players gain from cheating in a game like this, there is no money involved, no ranking system and with such a small niche community, all you are doing is ensuring no one will play with you in the future.

Byzantium Imperial restoration points

What to they do exactly?

In game they are described as 1 or 2 points. I understand they reduce the legacy penalty, but what is the actual impact if you build 50 standing units or conquer Dicloa and gain 1 imperial restoration point? The manual is very vague on that.

Re: Historical corrections for Kyivan Rus'

The history lesson is very…interesting, let us say…but has absolutely nothing to do with the game. Russian and Ukrainian historians have been debating whether Kievan Rus is the ancestor of modern Russia or modern Ukraine for decades and it has now become a political football with little regards for ...

Re: Historical corrections for Kyivan Rus'

What I wrote in the first post are historical inaccuracies that make sense to consider and correct, and they are generally minor. I don't understand some users who so persistently advise not to do this and not touch historical mistakes, it's strange Well if you provided any evidence at all that the...

Re: Historical corrections for Kyivan Rus'

If you choose Rus' before the start of the game, there will be a lot of text, there is the word Russia 1) ...Russia was divided into several rival principalities 2) ...as the Russian plains and forests are vast and riddled with rebellious petty nobles, bandits, and marauders 3) ...weak Russian prin...

Re: Historical corrections for Kyivan Rus'

I get the impression that you deliberately ignore everything I write and want to make Russia and Russians out of the historical Rus'. It is very strange, maybe you are a Russian who believes that everyone should be Russian, even though it is historically wrong? Please argue with AI because you writ...

Re: Historical corrections for Kyivan Rus'

I think we are talking past each other. The issue, as I understand it, is whether it is correct to refer to “Kievan Rus” in the game as “Russia” and the answer is that yes it is correct. During the time period of the game, 1054-1270, it was common in English, French and Latin to refer to what is now...

Re: Historical corrections for Kyivan Rus'

Well as pointed out above, the term “Russia” is historically correct. During that time period, what we now call “Kievan Rus” was commonly called “Russia” in English, French or Latin: In the 11th century, the dominant term in the Latin tradition was Ruscia . (...) Rucia, Ruzzia, Ruzsia were alternati...
