The War of the Three Kingdoms (Rules and Sign Ups)

[DKrol]

I've updated the map of Europe using the map provided by Lumine. The problem is, with these other maps, is the fill feature doesn't work on them in MS Paint so they end up looking like crap when I have to colour them in with the brush feature. This is why I picked the two maps I've been using, because the fill feature works and give us good, clean, clear pictures.

Here's what the Europe map looks like, re-done. I really hate the way it looks. Maybe I'm just incompetant at map making?

[Lumine]

That's funny, I tried opening that map on Paint to see if something what's up and it won't me opening. I suspect there may be an issue of formatting which is proving troublesome, because the original map I provided is one I could easily modify.

[Lumine]

Wait, I think I got it. When I uploaded the map (via Postimages) it lost a lot of quality, and when I downloaded that version I couldn't edit it properly. Let me find the original map and I think the problem would be solved.

[Lumine]

Found it! So sorry, Dkrol, I think this version will allow you to properly use the fill feature:

If possible, I think Brandenburg-Prussia should have Sweden's color as an outline, to indicate the union between the kingdom and duchy.

[DKrol]

I've replaced the maps in the Turn Two post. Hopefully they are less jarring and abhorant.

[Kingpoleon]

Alternatively, this version uses a 4 pixel:1 apparent pixel ratio for the map, as well as clearly showing the four biggest countries in the HRE.

If I may ask, Lumine, when will you Announce the Marriage?

[Lumine]

If I may ask, Lumine, when will you Announce the Marriage?

Not sure yet. Louise Henriette is very young, and in RL only got married in 1646, so there's ample time to make a decision in terms of husband and then stage a marriage.

Fair enough

Just trying to work out via map if the Hebrides are controlled by Covenanter Scots or Royalist Irish?! Could imagine both outcomes, sorta...!

Loosley Covenanter Scots, but most are just doing their own thing.

I know the Hebrides a bit, and that sounds uncannily historically accurate!!

I have an issue here, how do I really get my skin in the game here? I'm just lost at this point. I have little idea what to do and I feel a bit helpless.

At the start of each turn, I give an update on the state of your army, changes in the maps, and pose 1-3 political/strategic questions to you. During the turn, you play as your character, PM other players, and conduct military operations in an effort to "win" for your side. Each turn, you send me your orders for the turn - whatever it is you want to do. Then, I run a simulation and see how things worked out.

If you ever have a question, please feel free to ask.

[DKrol]

The turn's going to end at noon Eastern on Sunday.

[Lumine]

I'll have my orders sent between Friday and Saturday.

[Huey Long is a Republican]

DKRol, is the next turn coming?

[DKrol]

The turn doesn't close until Sunday at noon Eastern. I'm in Wales.

[DKrol]

Turn is closed. I will look things over and start writing tomorrow. I make no promises as to when the next turn will be up - I have a busy week.

[Lumine]

Dammit, I forgot to send my orders for this turn. My apologies, it won't happen again.

[Kingpoleon]

To be clear, I agreed to Sweden’s orders.

[DKrol]

OK folks, we have a problem. For the second turn in a row, I received no orders from the English Parliamentarians or the Holy Roman Empire. I also received no orders from Royalist Ireland.

What do I do?

You should put them as automats, like what Spamage was doing.
