Nay, Bean and I love the Legion III. It's Avlvs and Cotta that gave some harsh love ;-)
Let's be honest, the defeat of this small group of lame rebels isn't a reason to go "wooaaah, what a prove for this commander to be worthy of rome, ueeeeeee" :laugh4: Nothing personal though. It doesn't mean that he's not worthy, just THAT isn't the prove of it *G*
I'm sure Legio III will have a chance to prove itself when it starts fighting fullstacks of Epeiros soldiers. :yes:
Oh I know what you guys meant. Hell, I've given you hard enough times in the Curia too! I like the RP'ing we've got going on.
BTW, what province is Segestica in? I'm at work (thus I can't load up the game and look) and want to update the Legion's spot in the Phalerium with your pirate bashing - or was it just RP and not an actual fight?
Pannonia Illyrica. You can check that on the maps on EB's homepage.
None of the pirate hideouts are real, they'll just roleplay the length of time it takes to move down the coast.
gotcha
yo mr consul o legions...i noticed another leve being trained in Capua. Porque? Legio IV has all the leves it needs. Just 2 equites and 1 principes and im off. Ill leave the extra Rorarii as garrison if that was you intention for the leves.
how large is the Legio IV going to be?
its in my sot
ok ill look there then =)
well I noticed that Roma's going to be empty when Blasio leaves it, so the leves is for garrisonQuote:

strange...nobody seems to be here and even navarro hasn't ended the turn....
I have that feeling too - I'm on regularly Tuesday-Sunday from 0830 - 1530 while I'm at work and then every night around 2100-2300, and once around 0100/0200 when I go to bed (All times are MST). There really has been a decrease in action in the game.Quote:

and I suppose the only way we could go on if navarro ends the turn.
I wont post in the Curia when I'm not in Rome, and I dont have the time to write stories anymore.
We need some new people to spice it up and refill the enthusiasm a bit
I don't post there either, save for the occasional messenger; but they rarely even speak.Quote:

omg sorry guys busy busy busy yesterday taking the save now.
I'm looking forward to my character's promotion to Legatus after the next battle, assuming Bean doesn't kill me accidentally.:clown:
Baen, i hope you dont mind but i moved Legio II forward last turn as you seemed to of not had the time to do it. I know full well the stress RL can put on these games so I hope you dont mind. You move is open this turn i did not do that so you time to besiege Segestica is now :yes:
also, because their is a Dux Campaign in progress, all Tribuni will be noted of any battles they serve in it, but will not be promoted until it is over. So I will know who gets their promotion dont worry, its just that as it is in progress you must serve your time out as a second or third command in one of this games highest honors. :smash:
LoL, same here ,save switch Poto for Bean. The gods be with us both! :laugh4:Quote:

hi guys. sorry about the inactivity, i was dragged away for the weekend to vermont and i had nooo internet. looks like i really miss a lot when i go away.
i'll ketch up on what's going on and i'll do what i need to do with the save
okay Bean you may move the Lego III to where ever as Dux.
sorry again about this guys :oops:
I can't go on EB again until tomorrow night. Stick it in your SOT for Navarro or Everyone.
Ill be sure to move Legio III then, taking the save in an hour. Baen do i need to move you to?
Please, I wont be able to until the next turn anyway. I dont want to be slow.
Oh, and is Avlvs Aemilii (SwissBarbar) still allowed to be in Legio II, if he's the Tribunus Plebis? If so would he just not be promoted afterwards?
Marcellus seems to be the most active out of any of the characters in legio III (maybe even in the whole BTSH). Perhaps he should have the same movement powers as potocello? Potocello seems to have lots of RL issues going on.
Marcellus will be a Legate after this campaign. If he doesnt get his own legion he can always challenge Potocello for leadership. I think that should be played more often; a web of apparant and loose alliances, with lots of backstabbings and competition. It will make the game much more interesting.
yes, and apparently Tiberius (aka Marcellus) is the most unpredictable character in the Curia, so I (and Cicero) might even think challenging Longus for command is possible.
but we already have some secret political alliances which are not official yet :creep:
shh...:beam:
Very interesting conversations...... O:-) Of course, I would only ever attempt to take control of the Legion from such a good in-game friend if he really just couldn't keep playing IRL. But, I am willing to take that option, I already set up the RP aspect w/ some PM's between me, Scipio, and Longus.
Perhaps we may need an emergency session in the Senate to proclaim a new leader of the Legio III if Poto is unable to play?
oh boy looks like a lot happens when i go away for the weekend. i can keep playing and i can move the Legio III around but i have school and work during the day. this means that the only time i can really play is at night time and on the weekends.
not going to lie, i would be pretty bummed if i lost the legio III :shame:
If this is an issue, i guess BtSH isn't for me
I would be too, you're good to play with. I don't think that you'll lose it. A suggestion, if you're open to it: Update your SOT so that way one of us in the legion or the COL can move your legion for you when you know you'll be away. It's not like we're going to take it someplace far away and delete all the units, you know? And, if you know you'll be away for a few days just give a heads up!Quote:

Good point, except you forgot the fact that its a completely new word, so it can mean whatever I want it to mean. ;)Quote:

It says Autumn in Everyones latest report, yet your save is still summer. Your besieging Segestica but I'm still building the rams. Maybe Everyone wrote Autumn rather than Summer
Did you actually check the traits? You can't trust anything else. (And if I'm besieging Segestica, then it can't be summer 261 BCE, or someone else decided to give me exactly as much movement points as I would get in autumn. ~;))
But it is summer, I loaded the game three times to check. Thats what I dont understand
someone else check then? i can't right now but i could later tonight if no one can
Lets be clear about this, because you didn't actually answer: did you check the traits or not when you saw it was summer? Because that is the only reliable way to check what season it actually is. The loading screen, for example, will tell you it's summer regardless if it's spring, summer or autumn.
I find it quite improbable that it's summer simply because I know to 100% that when I saved and uploaded my changes in the summer 261 BCE, I had marched as far as Legio I possibly could, stopping at the port of Segestica. I know this so well because I for one thing checked the traits and they said it was summer, and after saving I ended the turn to see if I could get there without force marching, which was a negative. I actually tried ending it twice, and after the first it became autumn, and after the second it become winter.
So if it is summer 261 BCE, someone must've used a cheat to give me extra movement points. I didn't do it, and I have a hard time seeing why anyone else here would, either. If no one did that, I either shouldn't have started at Segestica's port this turn, or I shouldn't have had any movement points left.
Edit: I, unfortunately, can't check it now either.
It's not really a problem, just its still the same turn, because my rams still havent been built, yet this time your besieging Segestica instead of still being at the port. But it's better like this; the plan was every legion would besiege its target at the same time. So no harm done really
How's Legio III faring in this? Since I can't move it I'd rather not d/l and load up 1.1 just to look. Has anyone heard from Potocello since his last post?
everything seemed fine to me. im not clear what exactly wasn't right?
Damn, I don't have enough time to fight the battle before school :thumbsdown:. I'll have to do it sometime around 4ish
O Dux, if you don't feel so well just have a lie down, I'll fight the battle for you :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4:
it seems there is a problem with the seasons again. when I took it a few turns ago (263ish) the season displayed was "summer 14 ad", but it went back to normal once I activated the script. sometimes when there are problems with the 4TPY ingame, I think we should just activate the script. unless the script is really messed up.
"Summer 14 AD" sounds like something the loading screen would say. If that's where you got the information from, then I don't know what to say. I mean, I've already told you you can't rely on it to show you the actual date twice... :shrug:Quote:

No, there's no problem with the 4 tpy script. It works just great.
That 14AD thing happens every so often when you activate the script, but you just need to activate it again and it will be fine.
@SwissBarbar, you'll be allegable to become a Legatus after this battle and your Tribunus Plebis term is over. Then you'll ave your own army. However if I can't fight it tonight I'll let you know and you can fight it then.
actually I think it's 'may', not have; our ingame budget is rather tight now. :wall:Quote:

after that I only have two more tests left on separate days! huzzah!
@ navarro: I suppose since I can't take the save today, just move the fleet to the docks. It's in my SOT. thanks
I was kidding ;-) But if I may, I will gladly fight for youQuote:

well its up to the senate to decide if there will even be a legion. Ill pick the leader and its in order of who became a legate first. If you dont get the command. I recommend you just stay with your respective legio and serve with them .
yah that's what i figured. i recommended that Tiberius stay with the Legio III :P
do we still have legatii without legions? sorry if that's an ignorant question.
Ya Il_Duce and YouHaveReceived . But as they are very inactive they will be killed off if they do not come around by the end of this year.
Warluster and desert to. Anyone seen them around???
and on that note id ask that you PM any good friends, see if we can get some new people thanks!
I thought Desert had quit? But I don't know...
And damn, it'll have to wait till I get home. Luckily I come home earlier on a Friday (go me, I picked good choices :2thumbsup:), so it'll be around noon GMT time. (I realised this says time twice, but bugger it :beam:)Quote:

Oh, and since anyones allowed to do events, can we just make one happen? Or do we have to discuss it first? Because it's much more shocking and realistic if nobody knows about it. I do have one in mind anyway.
well, I might also be thinking of an event under certain obvious/inevitable conditions.
and I also think if we had went for Illyria before Massilia, we could make the Massilian alliance an event, where the general who conquers Massilia is made a 'regent' (near-provincial-governor-hood) of the city.
as for making events, the rules say that "once every 10 turns, navarro951, or anyone he appoints, may create an in-game event" or something like that
I think we're on the same wavelength...I'll PM you. But am I allowed to accept this Aemilii guy?
AFAIK, no, perhaps that rule could be changed. A pity we have nobody who could propose unlimited edicts/CAs.
If it could, I would think it should say "No 'Man of Great Potential' offers at the start of the year will be accepted, unless the benefactor's player is the person who has the save at the start of the turn"
Like me :2thumbsup:. I always thought we couldnt, until I had the last offer of a MoGP. I'll find the quote...

Oh yeah good point...well we need Navarro to clarify really, so I'll accept him for now so the save can reopen, then if I cant do it we can always kill him off.
never accept. We dont have the players to play him. Hell be another aimless avatar ill have to store somewhere. Not to mention roman RBGs and Family Members dont seem to be killed off when you use auto_win, they have to lose TWICE. so ya.
But...but...he's an Aemilii...cant he be my backup avatar :sweatdrop:
nope, what I-K did was that he transported the RGB to be killed to a battle in somewhere that he can't retreat to friendly territory (e.g. a stack of rebels in the steppes); not a stack of rebels in the middle of our territory. but because of Roman internal names, I guess we can't do anything much to move_character them; unless we send a whole stack of them on a pilgrimage to be ritually killed.Quote:
