If its anything like a bug I've had before then when you move or slide your cursor on the bottom edge of the screen below the resources then my screen locked up requiring a hard restart of my computer.

It could also be another bug, Pancreator knows this game has plenty of them.

Turn Sent

The scepters for the Al-Malik have been dropped off next to their aborium on Byzantium Secundus.

Ibd Donald has destroyed his Agoras on Shaprut and Madoc, and is in the process of looting Leaguehiem.

All Li Halan ships have been recalled to either Li Halan Space or Byzantium Secundus.  A convoy is over Pentateuch en route to Holy Terra to collect the rest of the Li Halan forces there.

OCC: Gollor, the bug happens sometimes when you are clicking and dragging a unit between spaceships on the stack screen if you drag the unit too far left over the border of the screen the game can crash. Also the Hazat has the unit.dat file to forward on to Gollor and so on.  Just make sure you copy and paste it in the DAT Folder before starting the turn.

I thank Flavius for delivering the scepters so brazenly looted from the League. We'll be capturing them next year, simultaneously with the palace complex on Madoc.

However, I feel the need to correct him on his latest statement.

Yes, we do still fight the League, which involves spoils as well as losses. Yes, we were forced to confiscate food from the Agora on Shaprut, to avoid starvation (all thanks to the unnamed benefactor who got us excommunicated), but we did not loot the Madoc Agora.
To my memory, it was still there last time I looked, but admittedly I did not look very carefully - it's perfectly possible it was captured by the same unspecified party who quietly looted one of the Agoras on Byzantium Secundus (the one next to the Eye compound).
Such self-serving, unauthorised action by one of the Houses, on a planet that we consider ours (despite still flying the Li Halan flag) would be highly uncool.

By the way, I forgot to mention, we've constructed four new cities on Stigmata, and razed another one of the Symbiot Hives. Yet another Hive on Daishan was purged via orbital bombardment.

Also, we might have accidentally lost some of the League ships captured earlier, because I might have been drunk when giving orders and possibly forgot to scout the space for cloaked ships.

Lord Ibn Donald,

Although, you admitted to the destruction of the Shaprut Agora, I may have hastily blamed you for Madoc and I was unaware about Byzantium Secundus.  However, it is now clear that the Decados are responsible for those atrocities.  But even worse they would have had to use Imperial Eye forces to commit this travesty.  I demand to know what actions our Lady Regent is going to take to deal with this insanity.  Lord Vladimir is not fit to be Minister of any ministry in my opinion.

Duke Flavius Li Halan

[Gollor]

Dear Flavius,

I swear that i will destroy any agora i reach. The League must be annihilated and i take the full responsibility of it.

Lord Vladimir Decados the Head of Imperial Eye.

[Vertab Nukks]

Dear Flavius,

I swear that i will destroy any agora i reach. The League must be annihilated and i take the full responsibility of it.

Lord Vladimir Decados the Head of Imperial Eye.

Fellow Lords and Ladies,

There we have it, Lord Vladimir is as insane as the Patriarch and our dear Lady Regent put him in control of the second most powerful Ministry!!! Let it be known Lord Vladimir if you even look the wrong way at any of the Agoras on the Garden Worlds of the Li Halan we will take an entire Decados world as repayment for every Agora destroyed.  You have been warned!

Duke Flavius Li Halan

[Il Palazzo]

Dearest Vladimir

Your personal vendetta against all that is League is a fun hobby, but it doesn't give you the right to act to the detriment of the rest of the Houses. Specifically, removing Agoras from common grounds of the Capital, or from planets belonging to other houses, cannot be allowed.

Dear Flavius,

Lord Vladimir Decados the Head of Imperial Eye.

While House Hawkwood more than any other understands your burning hatred of the slavish merchants I cannot endorse destroying the last bastion of free commerce on each world. The League has been so brought low these past years that they may never hoard enough capital to re-found even one agora razed and looted.

There is however an almost as valuable resource that flits from jump point to jump point that is just as precious and must be protected even in war. Their shipping must be left alone, why just this past year I forced my fleets to let two bulk haulers (brimming with weapons of war to invade my home) into my space just to ensure that in the future there is still prosperity.

Lord Minister Vladimir, I personally request that whatever you wish to do with the agoras and their spoils, please refrain from destroying any League Bulk Haulers or Freighters, too many lives depend on the foodstuffs they bring all over the Empire. I ask as a favor to me, simply because no matter what eventually happens to the Guilds we still need them to bring us stuff.

-Lord Protector Alvarex

[sk128234]

Dearest Lords,

Once again you interrupt me on my travels. I had a full proclamation drafted at my desk on Aragon, but I'll have to improvise this announcement instead.

Now that the Empire holds the Patriarch and Leaguemeister as its guests, the Church and League are in aa fragile state where SOME would take advantage of their weakened defenses. As I have made clear many times, the Empire will not tolerate continued war with these Factions, especially at the risk of harming innocent citizens.

We have decided, thus, that the Regency will absorb the titles of Defender of the Faith and Chancellor of the League. The sitting Defender & Chancellor will be tasked with ensuring peace with the Houses. I intend for the titles to go along with the Regency, so as to forge a permanent alliance among the Empire and Factions.

Vladimir: As Chancellor of the League, I forbid you from touching another Agora.  I suspect the rest of the Houses will lend their support to this decision.

Very sincerely,
Lady Santiago Eduardo d'Arc y de Aragon
Defender of the Faith
Chancellor of the League
Second Regent of the Empire

[Il Palazzo]

Gracious Regent, noble Lords

What good is calling oneself the Defender of the Faith or Chancellor of the League, if such titles hold no sway over the surviving leadership of the two factions?
House al-Malik will remain excommunicated, regardless of any such proclamations, for as long as the powers that be desire, and I'm sure whomever runs the business in the missing Patriarch's stead can be easily bribed to keep on excommunicating willy-nilly.
Similarly, the League will keep sending their warships and bombing Madoc, regardless of what the Regent might have to say about it.

So what's the point?

Fellow Lords and Ladies,

Although the fading of the suns is ushering in the end of days, a more prevalent indicator of the end times is that Lord Ibn Donald and I actually agree on something!!!  These are truly dark days indeed.  The House Li Halan stands with the Lady Santiago in enforcing the edict of this new title Chancellor of the League, and (grits teeth firmly) we understand the need of Lord Ibn Donald sacking the Agora on Shaprut to feed his people compared to the savage lust of revenge carried out by Lord Vladimir that serves no purpose but to increase the suffering already rampant within the Empire.

Duke Flavius Li Halan

[Margrave]

We support the current sitting Defender of the Faith in her edict. It is plainly obvious that neither remnant Church or League forces will acquiesce to this proclamation through anything other than force. Henceforth House Hawkwood no longer considers the current Church hierarchy or League Consulars as anything but rebels.

As such we would propose a joint Noble-Imperial Ministry attack on the remaining enclaves of Rebel support across the Empire. I would ask that the Five Great Houses destroy these vermin that have shed so much noble and commoner blood and take away from them every last vestige of power they currently cling too.

It may take centuries for the hearts of the commoners and serfs to recognize the Regency as the true voice of the Pancreator and the principal lead in directing the Empires prosperity, but we will not rest until it is only the Nobility ruling justly. We will weather their false excommunications and embargoes until the rest of the Galaxy falls in line before the Regency and Imperial Senate.

Lady Santiago,

Lord Ibn Donald makes a valid point (vomits slightly in mouth) cough!! cough!!! As I was saying Lord Ibn Donald makes a valid point, while we can make peace with the Church now the Regency has little power over their ability to Excommunicate.  However, the League issue is less complicated.  Once Lord Ibn Donald can secure a peace treaty with the League this is little more they can do, but that might be complicated since he did seize Madoc from them.  The Guilds are probably not interested in talking with the Al-Malik at the moment. 

As I have stated in the past the real power of the Regency is the Ministries ability to blockade, bombard, and send in troops to enforce.  However, the rub there is that the Decados controls the Internal Security Fleet tasked with dealing with rogue nobles!  Oh the irony.

Needless, to say you have the support of House Li Halan, but even we expect a more proactive and forceful stance from the Regent.

Fellow Nobles,

(Slow applause)  A truly rousing speech, and since you border Bannockburn, Holy Terra and by association Artemis, I see how my good friend would have much to gain.  The Decados/Al-Malik border De Moley, and the Pyre a mere two jumps from several Houses.  I hesitate too support such a decision lest a uniform concensus is reached and the spoils are split equally.

Duke Flavius Li Halan

[Gollor]

Fellow Lords,

I wish to note you one important thing. All citizens in Empire are placed under protection of either imperial forces, ministries or Great Houses. It is they who should provide life services to the people under their rule. It is not League or Church or someone else.
For the 5 or even more years League was refusing to supply Known Worlds with goods. How actual it is to point that now, after their force is weakened, people will SUDDENLY die due to starvation? This wasn't happening for the last 5 years, why should it now?
I propose my own plan - all League holdings should be confiscated by the planet reign force. All Decados agoras should go to Decados, all ministry agoras should go to that ministry and so on.

Instead, i see an evil plan of Li Halan to accuse me in the League inability to supply Known Worlds with goods. Just because i seize the agoras which are placed under my controlled territories.

Lord Vladimir Decados, the Head of Imperial Eye.
