The King of the Gauls will happily apologize to Pompey's Head - provided it's delivered to Alesia atop a pike!

(Insofar as the raison d'etre of this PBEM is to playtest a new scenario, the Gallic King took certain liberties that he otherwise would not, and thus examined the Events file......)

Not satisfied simply with the spilling of innocent Gallic Blood, the evil Caesar has also deliberately mispelled the names of countless Gallic cities, thereby depriving their owner of the Events that are rightly his! Is there no limit to thy perfidy, o' Caesar?

We shan't take Latin lessons from you, illiterate one! However, if you are as desperate for a Gallic Revolt as you appear, we will try to oblige you. Provide a list of offending hovels and we will assign a Greek scribe to produce a properly conjuncted events scroll.

Verily, Caesar's japes are as humorous as his generalship - the Lord of Alesia did laugh most readily upon hearing his literacy impugned by the very man who committed the following linguistic atrocities:

Events - - - - - - Map
Gwena - - - - - - Gwenea
Limonium - - - - Limonum

A most unwise decision, but then again Gauls are not known for their clairvoyant foresight.

Mighty Caesar dismisses the messages purported to be from the "King of the Gauls". "There is no King in Gaul", he proclaims. "Just a motley collection of petty tribal chiefs."

Mighty Caesar arrives with his legions at the gates of Gergovia. He fortifies his forces on the hills overlooking the city and awaits reinforcements. He offers the various clan chiefs and their rabble safe passage if they wish to withdraw.

It has been drawn to the attention of Mighty Caesar that certain Gaulish rabble cannot find their homes. This is apparently because maps list the names of some of their cities in Latin, rather in the crude runic scrawl they are used to. Mighty Caesar suspects this inability to find their own homes may actually have more to do with the typical Celtic fondness of the barbarians for strong ale. However, it amuses Mighty Caesar to "correct" these maps, so that the Gaulish louts can prepare their revolt. They will have need of it.

I'm going to be in the US from 10th May to 24th May. If anyone would like to take over the Parthians for this period please PM me.

More trade in the Roman Republic.

OOC: I noticed starting up my own game and playing as Caesar, when I captured Rome, since the Gauls were destroyed, a schism occurred in the Roman Republican forces. You might want to fix this in the events by adding the NOSCHISM command.

Or - with proper planning - this could be treated as a "feature". Make sure each of the Civs has a series of appropriate alternates (f/e, Caesar's forces could split into Octavian or Antony controlled factions, the Senate into Brutus/Cassius, etc.) and then such a split would appear semi-historical.

Tecumseh: Are events in ToT "embedded" in the .net save file, much like they are in "regular civ"? If so, someone here needs to strip out the existing events using delevent.exe and then start up a game using the new event file. If that's done, presumably no one else would even have to use the new event file (although they should download it to ensure that future games work properly - assuming, that is, you haven't embedded the Bad Events in your .scn file) Also, do events such as the Rebellion (which seems to based on some kind of random probability) happen only at the start of each new year? If there are events in which notification goes only to Player #1 (in this case it would be The ANZAC), a good "House Rule" would be for such player to post them in this thread.

Yeah I haven't gotten anything too special popping up

As for the schism thing, yes, they just need to change the entries in the rules.txt IIRC for it to work right.

Also, if you need me to setup the new events, just tell me. But couldn't we avoid this just by not renaming the cities?

Kull,

events are embedded just like regular civ. Just run delevent and start the game up with new events and it will work like previous versions of civ. BTW, I like that idea for rebellion, but are you saying Gaul won't be around when Caesar marches on Rome?

And yes, only the first player gets the events text messages.

Kull, I think MagCru has his finger on the best way to proceed with the new events. I wonder though, if the new events will then be permanently imbedded in your sav. file, or if this only occurs when a scenario is begun?

ANZAC, I think a schism is not a bad thing, esp. in a Civil War scenario. But I take the point that appropriate alternatives need to be prepared in the Rules txt.

If any pop-up messages ocurr, I guess it's up to you (ANZAC) to post them here.

BTW, and this is most embarrassing, where do I change the name of railroads which appears on the map? I overlooked changing this to "clouds" when trying to finish up the scenario.

Thanks for your input everyone.

Mighty Caesar does not object, as long as fellow truimvir Crassus does not.

I don't know Fairline... if Kull plans on defending Parthia the way he defended Pallantia you might not have a civ to control when you come back.

The virtuous Vercingtorix knows naught of this "Kull" of whom the Pompous One doth speak. But if to trust and suffer betrayal is a great fault, than certainly the King of the Gauls is guilty of that. As for Pompey, that whelp of whores can take solace in at least one fact - his "word" truly is worth it's weight in merde!

"Message to Julius Caesar":

And who could this be, astride a bony nag outside the mighty fortress of Gergovia? It seems that Caesar has grown tired of licking his wounds and comes forth in search of new ones! Rest assured, the Gauls will gladly assist ye in this quest.

"Message to Pompous the Miniscule":

What ails ye, o' mighty warrior? Thy troops laze about in the fields near Legio, their spears growing rustier by the day. Could it be that they are discomfited by the sight of armed Gauls upon the walls? Alas for thee, these defenders are not women and children as was the case in Pallantia. But take heart treacherous one - thy strategy of waiting for the garrison to die of old age is certain to bear fruit - in 50 annum or so!

Egypt has disassembled her navy into catapults. Jerusalem must fall. With a brash new General leading her armies, it just might work.

Cleo expresses regret at being unable to intervene on either side of the conflict due to several pesky barbarian city-states blocking the way.
