think so - rewound one turn and sent back to SDR - i think were good

It took some fiddling but I think we're up and running again.  For whatever reason, UCG's saves have begun to randomly change things in the file name.  Sometimes it changes the ~ to a -.  Other times it adds a + into blank spaces.  When the trouble first started, I tried changing the single, visibly changed character back to what it should be but that didn't work.  What does appear to work is if I simply rename the entire file to the syntax my game wants and then it loads without issue.

Too bad I didn't discover that before we rolled back.  I'd managed to stomp out the Khivan rebellion in that save.  The random rolls didn't go my way this time around and the little buggers are still running around the steppes burning my peasants.

Anyway, the turns are out.  Very interesting development this turn.  Tuna, are you going to take that sort of thing from UCG lying down?  I wouldn't stand for it.  It's an insult to France.  To arms!!!!

Same thing every turn.. tons of 0 strength merchants ain't getting anywhere! And the Italians are trying to wack my leader!

Wrong Italy. ;) Ugeek is Piedmont, a peaceful purveyor of pocketbooks and... uh... wine and cheese starting with p.

ha good call, and its also a speedy reminer that Tuna needs to get his armies together and come and whack Austria, although im sure they just won the 'biggest army in the game' award this turn

Three hundred thousand troops == a substantial force.  :o

Nice!  So is that one of those automatic events, or is it one that you can trigger given the right set of circumstances?

AFAIK this is a historic notification, it hasnt triggered Tuna giving me any troops, it hasnt triggered a war with Austria, its just notifying me that its time - historically - to kick Austrias ass for a few territories on our French border

whats not historic is Tunas clash with england leaving him short of troops and not ready for this i think

this still leaves S-P in the lowly leagues of minor factions, theres still not much i can do after 206 turns until i can unify, and that wont happen without taking those 3 territories mentioned in the newspaper

Gotcha.  Sounds like a bit of a Catch-22 you're stuck in...

Since we are only playing like one turn a week, it's probably time to call it quits on this game.  :'(
