Regarding the battle difficulty: Medium is the most realistic one, playing on VH f.e. only makes foreign peasants slaughter your elite forces. Thats no fun, its just unrealistic. We just mustn't pump one army after another.
Were the Tribunii not meant to join an Army of a Legatus and fight 2 battles, so he gets Legatus himself? 2 battles happen pretty quickly.
And another question:
If the Legatus (next higher rank) is the Commander, so who's the second in command? If this means, that 1 Legatus and 2 Tribuni (second and third in command) fight in an army, so we can "create" 2 Legati per army.

the legions are probably not ready to move off yet, I'll notify you when Legio I Apulia is about to move off; I can help you move your avatar towards the legion when it is needed to if you want.
edit: and a question, if there are two different generals in charge of two seperate legions, and one of them attacks a target, the other general and his legion would appear as reinforcements; in the end, who would get the Battle Points? would it be split or would equal amount of the supposed battle points (e.g. clear victory grants 3 points to both in this scenario) be granted?
Say he loses and you weren't even the one in command, would you like to be stripped of BPs for a battle you (IN REAL LIFE) didn't even witness???

found this interesting link about Tiberius Sempronius Longus. If only my avatar's name was Tiberius

save is open!

ah, sorry & thanks ^^
Ah nose. I go offline for one and a half days and miss the voting and now getting into a Legion. I am sad. Do I get inactivity?
I havent choson the tribunes for my legion yet...and I think there was only two people that hadnt voted anyway so it wouldnt have made any difference even if you had voted no.
Yes but I'm more worried about if I will get an inactivness point.
No, I'm going to judge it on commitment to the legions, to the direction, potential and perhaps a little personal favourtism. Some of the candidates know what I mean.:beam: Accuracy things too like Plebius will help, because Cotta is a Plebius.
I don't think there's such thing as an 'inactiveness' point, only activity. there's nothing on "inactiveness" in the library.
Ah, I see there is not. Well, if I ever become a Legatus I know what I'm going to propose.
Plymouth lost...:sweatdrop: (pretend that drops coming from the eye)
Birmingham's match agaisnt Wolves has been called off. I was looking forward to us thrashing them.
Is that the Birmingham thats 3rd in the table and the Wolves that's first? Hmm :laugh4:
Sorry, I didn't know the 15th placers are allowed to talk.
I knew that would have come up. Typical of you to stoop so low...ba dum tsch..get it? low? never mind...Nobody's going to know what we're on about, most people here arent from England
Mah, Southerners. Worthless pieces of sh... Yes, well if they don't know I will explain to them the whole rivallry between every single football in the world expecially team that never win anything so always get in fights. :clown:
Dont usually win the fights either...shame really. I'm glad this is the OOC thread haha
Well...
Anyway has anyone else got back to you about the Tribune postition in the army?
Waiting for the last two. I'm out at dawn tomorrow, so if they dont pop up tonight you may have to wait till tomorrow evening/late afternoon
No problem. Seemed like a nice idea as well the way you did it.
Just trying to make it more in depth and character build really
Yeah, you really put me on the spot when I had that. I had to make up a whole character plan from scratch. :clown:
Nah your interview was very good, in depth but not too much and covered everything I wanted really. But will it be enough? Only time will tell! Dun Dun Duuuun
Haha, up the tension why don't you?
Just an idea, why don't you take all the interviews and make them into a story. I'll polish up my interview and make a nice big story.
Like I havent got enough stories going at the minute...but what the hell I like the idea
Whoever takes the save next, just move me to Taras pl0x, if Navarro hasn't already done so.
sure thing id say um everyone you go ahead and do that!
yeah, I'll probably be taking the save now, since I'm idle. we should all put what we want done to our character on a particular turn in our SOT posts rather than here or the dictator/consul reports
Cotta/Baen-
Sorry I didn't reply to your PM earlier. I was at work all day. Also, I'll be out of town for a bit tomorrow so if I don't reply right away again that's why.
Hey mooks, could you put your character title in your signature? I always forget who everybody is without it.
what exactly happened to the other unit of Eqvites Romani that was in Legio I Apulia, was it disbanded? we could have just transferred it to legio II and saved 3000 denarii.
anyway if Legio II is to be completed, we'll need to stop spending money for a turn or so.
Yeah. Also, is rhegion set to very high taxes? Or would that make the population too unahppy?
Another thing, for when we get further down the road (40 or 50 years or so), do you think we should set taxes more historically accurate? I think that most provinces in Latium/Italia were barely taxed and the newly conquered barbarian states were taxed highly ("beat into Romans"). Or am I off on this?
I really need to read up on Roman history :book:. I was thinking of picking up De Bello Gallico by Julius Caesar. Any other recommendations.

@ navarro: are you still going to implement the event you said a few pages ago?
ya i gotta type it up tonite it'll be ready before the next turn :laugh4:

I'd also recommend De Bello Civili after that (which unfortunately is not complete extant).

No point. After you became a Roman citizin there was no taxes at all but you had to fight in the army. That means there is no real point in trying to stay historical in that sense.

I thought it was just general knowledge. I learnt it off a member here called Quintus Sertorius. He reads A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT of history. In any matter the game doesn't represent Roman taxes properly anyway.

:book:
It's amazing what you can find when you search. This is why I think we can't realitically simulate taxes, likewise we can't simulate population because of training taking away from the whole population, not just the strong male section.

Of course but by late game I'm sure with this tight micro managing that the game will become really fun because of civil wars. But yeah the money will start rolling in then.

Its true, there were no taxes but each citizen had to serve 10 years minimum of military service which is basically one campaign...say serving all of the march through Germania.

Hey Navarro, did you get this wrong in the library?
1.4 Legatus, Aedile of Taras Caivs Avrelivs Cotta Baen 1 1 0
Another thing I noticed that was wrong in Library is this:

But if you have another system then ignore this post ~:)
Wow Blasio cant seem to get his wife to pop out a boy lol:embarassed:
Asina can't get his to pop any out! gah.
edit: Asina's staying in Roma because I'm role-playing the logistical problems of Legio I and communication problem with Cotta's Legio II; but I can't find anywhere to put that IC.
It because there is nothing to do really for anyone that only Everyone and Navarros has taken the saves. People are waiting on the Legions to mobolize and choise of Tribunes for the legions.
Yeah, until/if I got mobilize for Cotta's legion I want to stay in Roma where there's a school. I would guess more people will start taking the save once we start getting more people into and above the Legatus rank.
Once read that the EB modders actually made Rome that way. Rome was historically a faction that where birth didnt matter as much as the rest of the world back then. Still mattered, but not where in Parthia since you were related to the king you were guaranteed a post somewhere. So Rome gets very very few male babies if any.
That doesnt mean that Roman's had less sex than people who lived in kingdoms just because they were a republic...

Ya but if you have a baby in Rome back then he wasnt automatically going to be a consul like you were, theres a better chance though. The game simulates that by giving you adoption choices, not lineage.
I would have said most ancient civilisations would choose their next king/equivalent through strength rather than birth right. People weren't that patient.
who are you accepting as your Trubinii Baen? I'm quite curious :beam: and good luck to those who applied
I'm waiting for the Consul of the Legions to approve, then I'll announce it at the Campvs Martivs
^^^ i assume u got mine then yes?
Yeep, but if Everyone doesn't respond by the time I get home tonight then I'll just go ahead. Can't keep everybody waiting much longer
hmmm, I think I'm going to use one of my consular powers soon; the one on force transferring an ancillary. who wants to volunteer their physician/herbalist/medical-related person ancillary?
what for, to who? :inquisitive:
well, for Asina, because I have a feeling that I'm going have rather high casualties in the siege assault; and the other medical-related ancillary would reduce casualties.
Until I am Tribunus in an army, which happens soon as I hope, you can have my Chirurgeon. But I want him back, when I go to war, please ;-)
Ya just make sure you announce that in your report so we all remember it was transferred for good reason, and you reason Everyone i totally agree...you and Baen got one tough campaign ahead of you. Just think when its all said and done you'll be the glorious commanders who finished the uniting of Itlaia, or a dead consul and dead legatus :sweatdrop:
Yep, I did.

Are you saying that throughout history, long before standards we have now, that people cared nothing for strength, only birthright...no matter who the person in question? That every single rebellion, uprising, battle and argument has been for the rightful succession to a higher order by birth? And you say I know little...
Succession by birthright was the general rule and those uprisings and such are noteable because they are the exception.

You know i was just thinking...Manivs is gettin old surprised hes making it I want to just start playing as Blasio and make our first Imperial Legion haha
I have just read that I have recruited a physician in my retinue. Dont know why, since my character is like Obama (perfect physical shape, practically a greek god).
Jokes aside, feel free to send him with the army.
