BM General Discussion / New General elected by realm they are at war with.

« on: March 17, 2011, 05:51:04 AM »

Funny story. This just happened in the last day or two. Looks like nobody described it here yet, so I will, but I am just an amused bystander.

On Dwlight, the Aegir Duchy seceded from Morek and formed the realm of Entia. When it seceded it took all of it's regions with it, including the Mark. Entia started to setup as a new realm, including holding elections for a new OrderMarshell (General). Gustov, a noble of the Mark put his hat in the ring for that election. Entia declared war on Morek. The Mark then rejoined Morek which transfered all the nobles of the Mark (including Gustov) back to Morek.

Gustov made a few public comments as to how he was thinking about remaining neutral in the civil war, before finally publicly declaring that he would fight on Morek's side.

The election in Entia ended, and Gustov won the election for Ordermarshell.
One assumes that a declaration was issued saying that Gustov had won the election for Ordermarshell in his realm, and that the bureaucrats in Morek did not look to closely as to who's seal was on the declaration, because they promptly stripped the old Morek Ordermarshell of his title and awarded it to Gustov.

Gustov, having been elected by the nobles of Entai, was made Ordermarshell of Morek, their enemies.

Helpline / Healers - How many to buy.

« on: March 16, 2011, 08:09:09 AM »

In both realms I am in, the generals bulletin says you should have one healer for every 20 men you have.
I know this is just conventional wisdom, but I was wondering how that number was arrived at and how healers work. Is it actually that one healer can care for 20 men, healthy or wounded, or is it just that large units are expected to have large numbers of casualties.  I mean if I have 60 healthy men, one wounded man, and 2 healers, will that not be enough because I don't have 3 healers? Or is it just that after a big battle I ought to have 3 healers to care for the 30 wounded men I might have?
Is one per 20 the "optimal" number, but even one for 60 is better than none, or is one for 60 so overworked as to be practically useless?
  Thanks.

This Forum / Forum advertisments in tower mode bug

« on: March 16, 2011, 08:01:08 AM »

I enabled tower advertisements,
When I go into a forum topic (for example Bugs and Problems) I see the header, then I see a tower of advertisements along the right side, and starting BENEATH and to the left of the tower of advertisements I see the list of threads.
IE: The advertisements are not next to the threads like they should be, they push the threads down underneath them.
