I'll take B!

Are the mod files in the link listed in the earlier post the final ones? If so , where do they need to go to be useable?
many thanks,
Dave.

May need to make some minor change. Will post the mod version to use in the first post of the actual tournament thread.

[TomoeGozen]

ok , thanks. I'm too keen

Not at all, not at all, Dave. So here it is (just needed to remove the Gallic army list, since no longer used):

Extract/unzip the 7z file above and then you'll get a folder called DIVIDING_SPOILS along with files therein. Copy that folder and its files and paste into your C:\Users\...\Documents\My Games\FieldOfGlory2\CAMPAIGNS\ folder. (If you don't have such a CAMPAIGNS folder, simply create it.) If you then want to accustom yourself with the army lists in SP mode, go to Battles, Custom Battle, and then press Select another module. Choose Dividing the Spoils and press Launch. Then you'll have all the satrapy army lists in there, along with potential allies. Enjoy, because soon the tournament starts...!

Only just seen this. Looks like my sort of thing. Happy to shout encouragements from the sidelines or take part in any aspect. Give me a shout if I can assist in any way.

Captain Savage.

Would be great to see you in, Captain! Bring three more players (so that we get to 12) and fast (i.e., in the next day or so), and it's done!

[batesmotel]

Put me in for F: 14. Parthyaia, 15. Persis, 16. Karmania.

Thanks everyone! Which leaves me with the eastern most satrapies. So this is the tentative map that we will kick off in shortly (unless three players in addition to Captain sign up ASAP):

Now... I've finalised the rules; they're in the third post of this thread. Please have a look, and since English is not my mother tongue, my style of writing is quite awkward and not the most straightforward and to the point , so please let me know whether they're understandable. And whether they make sense. Before we start off!

(The key difference to TYME - The Year of Many Emperors is that in DiSp - Dividing the Spoils there are now coalition opportunities but no foreign invasions, that only one satrapy from each player is at stake in battles, and that each satrapy has one predefined map terrain type. Plus that a killed C-in-C doesn't cause elimination from tournament (looking at you, TomoeGozen... ). Apart from that, and the satrapy army lists of course, it's much the same.)

[TomoeGozen]

In the rules post I think it should say 'losses caused' rather than 'incurred losses'. To me 'incurred losses' means the losses you have suffered yourself. Unless that's what you had in mind. I may have misunderstood though.
As an Englishman my English really should be better.....

Is this the actual version we will be using?

Presumably it will need to be in the MULTIPLAYER folder to use for the campaign.

When it is finalised I could put it up on the FTP for in-game download.

Thanks: have changed to 'inflicted' because I meant exactly what you're after. Is that better?

Yes, that's the final version. Thanks for putting it up on the FTP! Have also updated the rules with that information: please let me know if I should specify further how people download from the FTP?

[rbodleyscott]

Thanks, Richard! I've updated the rules (in third post of this thread) with the MP part.

Reviewing the coalition rules, wouldn't an ally need to have a province adjacent to the targeted one? Otherwise, you open the door to ridiculous situations where you can attack people on the other side of the map as an ally.

Perhaps, coalition partners could be called if they had provinces adjacent to the target or to the coalition partner calling them? This would reflect them being able to move through friendly territory to join a campaign.
