ya you don always have to move so its no prob but next turn you will be ready to take Taras. Which should be alot easier now that weve got a spy their to possibly open the door haha. With Taras we will be making more money so we will create a new legion then and go north to take out the rebels on our border.

Also- you want me to move ur avatar to Arpi and retrain him?

I wasnt offline, i was watching heroes..good show..filmed in california...i've been to california...i havent been to singapore though...am i rambling?

Wait..if your in Singapore, and its 7am, doesnt that mean its christmas eve?...and as i just typed that i now realise that 20 past midnight means its also crimbo eve here...yipeee

[desert]

I would have chosen a more historical approach, ie. take Rhegion, wait a few years for Carthage to attack, then wait a few more decades to attack the Po Celts.

I can see how that could get boring, but still...

[everyone]

@ baen: yes, it's christmas eve here, and I just replied to your message

@ navarro951: hmm, since I plan to leave next season or in summer when the accensi arrives, yes, please move Asina to Arpi and retrain him, thank you

edit: it seems potocello is taking very long with the save, nearly half a day, what could he possibly be doing?

[/Bean\]

Navarro, once everyones settled into the game, would it be stupid to start making decisions on things that cannot exactly be done in EB, but which would have to be done IRL? For instance, I dunno, hosting events, or supply route problems, or diplomatic trips abroad?It might add prestige and influence to the characters, and more depth to the story.

[navarro951]

in the rules there is a part about events...checkem out i think thats what you mean. they are all made up and what not ya for fun and can go against the script indeed

[navarro951]

also everyone, you will need to decide if you want 4 Hastati, or 2 Hastati and 2 Principes as it states in the rules Standard legions can only have 8 units and your rank can only command 8 units. (4 inf cohorts, 2 ranged, and 2 Calvary, this is not counting the Generals units.) I suggest 2 Principes, 2 Hastati, 2 Accensi, 2 Eqvites Romani, and you and Baens bodyguards.

@Potocello not sure what you were doing but the save remains open and when the full 24 hours or all moves are done i will take it either way. I will move you to where you wanted to be anyway so no worries. Get involved with the Roleplay i find it to be the funnest part.

[everyone]

just 2 principes and 2 hastati for the infantry, that is what's already under my command; and I don't think there are any more hastati that are able to be spared from other provinces since our treasury is rather low.

haha yah i dont know what i was planning on doing, i didnt move my avatar or anything. i've been a bit busy lately so im finding it hard to find time to roleplay.

[Potocello]

oh and how would i go about asking permission to be under command of a Legatus for my Tribunus training?

[everyone]

you post in the senate thread; I'm not sure whether there is an opening available in Legio I Apulia (currently the only legion in service) right now (because it's up to the emperor (navarro) to decide; if navarro allows, then I have no trouble with you joining as a Tribunus under the Legio I Apulia)

anyway since you're not doing anything with the save, could you kindly update the post in the Dictator and Consul reports to tell the rest to use the previous save please?
and role-playing can be done anywhere, in PMs or in the Senate, you need not necessarily have the save to role-play anything

[/Bean\]

Well Roka will soon take command of his legion, and he has not, as far as I know, got a tribune prepared. You can always PM him IC Potocello, like a letter. Or just ask publicly in the Senate thread

[desert]

I would want 3 Hastati, 3 Principes and 3 Triarii to make it more realistic, but as I am actually a nobody for now, I cannot command any troops.

well thats more for imperial legions, the ranks also limit solider capacity.

[desert]

Well, no worries. It will be at least 15 game years before I get any troops.

[navarro951]

well if you serve two battles with a legatus, you will be a legatus and in turn may have a chance to lead a legion

[desert]

Yeah, but I'm doing it for RP purposes.

[navarro951]

aw well you make your own way then fine by me thats the fun of it

[navarro951]

wow well the Emperor made it through the year lol saves open guys, but other then ppl who get new RBGs and want to move somewhere i don think anybody has to make any moves.

[desert]

Ok, this is not good...

I forgot to mention that I use the Alex.exe

So, just go on without me for this turn. I just want to ask a favor: could anyone just take my character, a 31 year old named Servivs, and move him towards the Legio I fort?

I'll try to reinstall quickly.

[navarro951]

Well everyone has to IC accept you as his third in command. And once he does that he can sponsor no more tribuni. You can only have two subordinates.

[desert]

Hmm...my character's intention is not to fight FOR the Romans, as far as I know...

He doesn't want to fight at all, really.

I might have to rethink his objectives... but tell me - are you going to assign a provincial dictator of Taras after it is taken?

PS: And no, I'm not trying to get Servivs the provincial dictatorship.

[/Bean\]

Ah yeah, that reminds me Navarro. I think we may need to think of subtitutes for battle points. Because I dont think theres going to be enough wars and legions if taking command of battles is the only way of gaining anything. I think there needs to be more than one path. Is it too late to think of somehting and add it to the rules and explanations and what not? Seeing as we're still in the testing stage now is a good time to do it. Do you see my point?

[navarro951]

@ BaenWell in both LoTR and WoTB we only give commanders BP points and it works out as more people go into combat. See points are given to the person who ACTUALLY commanded the battle. So say your a Tribunus and your Legatus in RL cannot take the save to fight a battle, because you are present in that army you can fight it instead and since you personally in RL made the tactical decisions to win or lose, you will get or lose the points.

@Desert well the first P.Dictatorship is going to probably go to Roka ive decided and I thinking Ariminum or Taras ya.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Sry to intrude but battle points are only in WotB. In LotR you need land to get higher rank.

Fairy snuff.
