Attila: Total War

[Gusington]

Could it be that not enough time has passed to make a decision? I could swear that there is a panel in the UI that I can use, though...GAH

[Sir Slash]

Have you played a couple of turns without any result or change?

[Gusington]

Going to in a minute...

[Gusington]

OK so I got another message and no apparent way to affect an outcome...what am I missing?

[Sir Slash]

What happens when you click on the check mark? Anything? I'm going to try to play some and see if it happens to me.

[Gusington]

Click the check mark and the message is minimized. I can go back to the measage in the scroll on the right hand side but there is no political screen to 'solve' the issue. I wonder if Radious disables it...

[Sir Slash]

And there's nothing coming up when you click on the Faction Button at the bottom? That is odd. I haven't run across that at all in my games. I tried playing Sassinids last night but got no Political Events as yet. I know Radious disabled Sacking in his mod but I'm not aware of any disabling of Political Events. I'll keep playing and see if it happens to me. A real concern though.

[Gusington]

No - nothing comes up when I hit the faction button (concerning political events)...I wonder what will happen if I disable the mod...

[Sir Slash]

I checked Radious' changelogs and he only lists-- minor changes to political events-- and -- changes to costs of political events. Nothing about disabling them. Does the game play OK if you just ignore the message? I know in the Last Roman, I got messages that would trigger a choice message a couple of turns later. Like a message that Justinian had become obsessed by conquering Italy from his wife and then 2 turns later a choice came up to agree with him or try to talk him out of it.

[Gusington]

Yeah I thought that may happen but 25 turns in and nothing yet. Plus I could swear that there was some other way to access them but so far...nothing...?

[Sir Slash]

I just had a political event occur.... finally. When I clicked on the Faction button at the bottom, the Faction screen had on the right hand side a portrait of the character related to the event. Clicking on the portrait brought up the decision/ choices to make. Now I remember this happening previously in the game but it sure is easy to miss. Hope this helps.

[Gusington]

Thanks Slash, will try it out when I get back to my gaming machine tonight.

[Sir Slash]

No problem. I try to be kind to NY Jet fans. They need it. Playing as the Sassanids is kind of boring. Everybody likes you except for a couple of pissy vassals and there's nobody to fight. Even the ERE wants to be my friend asking for a marriage and alliance. Nothing to do but build and keep the people clean and happy. Even the family members all get along. What's wrong with these people?

[Gusington]

You know what...you're right. I was thinking the exact same thing last night. There's tons of money and armies and cities but it gets dull and repetitve. It's too easy. And that's ME talking. Who else to play in fhe same neighborhood though?

And as far as the issue with the political window...I will try it later but something just doesn't sound right. I don't remember clicking on portraits for anything. It was just a simple click, go, it's done...maybe I'm just losing my mind.

[Sir Slash]

I wish the map went a little further east into India.
