Dont ask me, I didnt award myself this award. It can be roleplayed or whatever anyhow.

lol, mooks finally made himself an SOT; though you got your rank wrong, it's Tribunus; there's no 'senator' rank.
Damn I was going to point that out.
Navarro, seeing as my legion has seen some action, can I have a unit of Principes now, and swap it for either a Rorarii or Hastati?
Ya thanks. Iv been too lazy to make one and decided to get it over with. There is some job applications on my desk iv been lazy with also, maybe I need to get on those. Thanks for the correction though.Quote:

Sorry if I offended you) if you just got done receiving one of those. We should really have some rules in place for this sort of stuff (So people just cant make stuff up in the curia if 2 or more have a arguement).
speaking of the stories thread, Baen still has two more unfinished stories that are posted there as placeholders!:smash:
perhaps you might want to ask about the principes thing in the curia when navarro comes online
Its not in the stories thread its in the Curia, just after Asina dies. When I finally catch up on all my stories i will write about it in the Frontline series when I do Segesta. To let it make sense I'll say I pulled him out, saved him, but he died later for some reason, injury or later fatal wound or whatnot.

A civic crown was no small deal back then. We shouldnt be giving those things away or giving them to yourself (at least without screenshots).
Personally I think its bad roleplaying on your part or navarros. Asina wasnt saved, and you have no screenshots saying you even tried to save him. Im not trying to personally attack you here.
Actually I presumed it was in my character retinue thing, but whats done is done. Never mind it. No one pays attention to me having one anyway. Personally I just think your jealous :clown:.
And yes, I know I have pending stories. But I have a lot of stories on the go, let alone my own book, and lots of school work. I'll try and finish the Rhegion one this weekend, though its peeing me off, so its not going to be long or in much detail I'm afraid. I just want that one out the way.

If you want to know just how important Civic crowns were back then. This site gives pretty good info

Also im used to forums where people curse and smack talk. I also find that amusing for some reason. Dont take it personell if I attack your character.
yes, ill take one of your Rorarii and use it for Legio III and give you a principes.Quote:

There is no pic, but what I know is that Asina's death was not reported till after the battle leaving me to relay this as an RP or actually just plain fact. Who knows its the game engine i think it knows what its doing and well have fun with it.Quote:

Yes but you set yourself up as a Carthaginian lover in the Curia. Im going to have fun with that. You defended them pretty hard.Quote:

Suddenly the romans attack sicily and I have 1 army depleted finishing up spain and the egyptians controlling the sea around crete (one 2 gold chevron badass ship with 2 other triremes = unstoppable navy). No suitable commanders around with the last generation about to die off. No real army around Sicily either.)
My character doesnt love Carthage...I just have morals
Lol everyone knows politicians dont have morals. Especially roman politicians when it came to foreigners.Quote:

Besides its not his sympathy for the Carthaginians, but guilty conscience about breaking an alliance, with the effect that Rome's word will not count as true anymore
What he said ^^
see, i know yourself better than you :laugh4: :laugh4:
Neither would I.Quote:

Making of Cassi Bellum's is hard work.
why does everyone call me swissbarber? i'm no barber, i'm a barbarian, I'm here to savage, plunder and cut throats, not to shave, perfume and cut hair :inquisitive: :inquisitive:
I'd recommend to send a diplomat, RP that he tells them, not to send ships to our shores, and if they do, attack their fleet. thats how a war is started ^^ I'm a good politician *G*
Would have to be properly roleplayed, not just we sent a diplomat, they said no..so now we're at war
of course. this was just the short version. I'm a politician, not a poet *laugh*
I don't get this. He said he did that only after at least one other person laid claim to doing the same thing. Isn't a bit silly that a Legatus would do such things when there are a bunch of Tribunes in the battle?Quote:

No I didn't, Navarro posted in the Curia that I had received it straight after the battle, and then you, Il_Duce, said you were the first to his body and pulled him out of the fight, which is exactly the opposite of what Navarro had said just one post before. I only laid claim to it after you because I was asleep when it happened, seeing as Navarro posted it when it was like, 2 or 3 in the morning here.Quote:

yes, this game is meant to be fun, let us not discuss any more about the corona civica; though it is a rather nice ancillary and the only time I got it from a Romani campaign was at a battle which I kept charging my general's Equites Consulares and reducing it to around four men, then my general after the battle somehow got the "heroic saviour" and "corona civica" ancillaries..
I guess I hadn't seen the original post and thought Baen was just being a prick... sorry lol
Morrowind FTW!Quote:

These don't have to be awarded by the game, imo as I've never seen one whenever I've played; but they can certainly be RP'd by say, the numbers/colors of a units chevrons. Then, we could RP that the kickass hard core units are always in the van of a city assault, etc.
Just my two cents. Any takers?
2) Cotta, accolades to your steadfastness in honoring Rome's agreements. I hope to see you lose that argument; but well done indeed!
3) I actually haven't been calling you "Swiss Barber"; but instead "Swiss Babar" - like the French cartoon elephant. Yay illiteracy! :oops:
