Aha! Why was that, if I may ask?

I'm afraid this is pre-CNN, so you will have to wait and see future developments.

TomoeGozen wrote: ↑Sat Oct 03, 2020 10:25 am Sounds suspiciously like an alliance....

Ok, then let's wait and see.

Anyway, thanks everyone, fellow Diadochi: round 1 and the year of 320 BC has then come to an end, with the political situation as per the map above. I will shortly post order of declarations for round 2 (319 BC), based on inflicted casualties.

Shouldn't the map be changed showing Atropotane (11) switching to me? Or am I misunderstanding something?

You're right: sorry! Will update first thing Sunday evening.

Round 2 (319 BC)
Order of announcements

1. rbodleyscott 65% (Oct. 4)
2. Aetius39 61% (Oct. 5)
3. batesmotel 59% won (Oct. 6)
4. deeter 59% lost (Oct. 7)
5. kronenblatt 55% (Oct. 8 )
6. Karvon 45% (Oct. 9)
7. TomoeGozen 25% (Oct. 10)
8. Blagrot (Oct. 11)

Once attack announcements have been made, battles are resolved simultaneously during a three-week period of Oct. 13 - Nov. 3 (see Battles in the rules).
(If all battles have been resolved before that, round 3 may commence earlier, but plan for first order of announcements for round 3 on Nov. 5).

Please note that:

• Rules are found in second post of this thread.

• Date (midnight CET+1 (Pella) time) above indicates deadline, after which opportunity to announce attack is forfeited and the player next in line may announce attack.

• Once a player above has announced an attack, then player next in line is free to announce attack, up to his/her deadline.

• Satrapies already included as a satrapy-at-stake in another player's attack this round may neither be attacked nor attacked from nor constitute a satrapy-at-stake in the attack in question.

• I will update the mod files to version 3 with correct lists of allies, before battles commence.

Enjoy!

rbodleyscott and kronenblatt announce a coalition.

rbodleyscott will be assisting kronenblatt with his attack, so makes no attack of his own.

Edit: This was apparently wrong. See revised declaration below.

As I understand it, coalitions can't make joint attacks in the year formed; those start from the following year.

That's true. I can't even remember my own rules. Sorry.

In which case:

rbodleyscott attacks Areia with the army of Gedrosia with Indian allies.

rbodleyscott stakes: Drangiane
tomoegozen stakes: Areia

Given the forgoing, I'm wondering if a 59% - 61% battle wouldn't qualify as a draw?

Deeter

Why would it? Did your battle end due to Aetius39 meeting the base game's victory conditions? Then you will have lost Atropatene but otherwise you won't.

If it concerns the order of making declarations it doesn't make any difference, since batesmotel won his battle when inflicting 59% casualties.

Deeter

Nope, if one army goes over 60% it's broken regardless. The only way you'd get a draw in that case is if both armies went over 60% on the same turn.

Just hoping.

Deeter: A friendly reminder that in order for your and batesmotel's coalition to become effective next round, you need to announce it too this round.

rbodleyscott and kronenblatt announce a coalition.

No attacks possible.

To Richard: See attached zipped file below. I've updated the armylist.txt file therein so that all allies are now available to all satrapies. Should be in good order. Could you please replace the current MP and SP versions with this one, and let me know when done? Thanks.


To everyone: once uploaded and made available in-game as new module by RBS, please delete old version (V2) and replace through in-game downloading with V3, which will be used for battles in round 2 and onwards.
