I already use some house rules, every time i understand that the auto-regulamentation i was using is an House Rule, i will add it here, editing this section:
for now i can recall just this few ones: - Never Retrain - Always Merge.
I didn't used it before, but im using it since the 0.81 relase.
I cant retrain my units, i can just merge a old unit with a new recruited one. If i have not enought money to buy a new unit to merge with an old ones, i cant replenish my units... - Dont attack, if not Attacked -
I cant attack a faction, if they are Neutral with me. - Never use Fog of War Cheat or some Money cheat -
i dont even know how to activate it, anyway i dont like it. The only Cheat i will use is that to giving money to Parthia - Always start a siege battle the turn after the siege started -
i cant wait more than a turn so to starve the city. If for a change, i forget a spy inside the city, i have to start the battle the same turn as i attack, with no siege engines. - Only use the boats, if i can afford to have a fleet of respect, at last a pair of Triremes and Pentekontere - (So never do a naval invasion with just a Transport ship...), if i can not afford a Fleet of respect, i cant use boats. My only exception was the invasion of Africa by Attilius Regulus, but that was a sort of RPG thing, i knew i was sending Atilius to die. - When doing Naval Invasion, i can not siege a town, as i disembark, but i have to wait a pair of turns in a fort near the town before besieging - So i have to feel all the difficulties of an army who starve while traveling for faraway campaigns.
Nam Sibyllam quidem Cumis ego ipse oculis meis vidi in ampulla pendere, et cum illi pueri dicerent: Σίβυλλα τί θέλεις; respondebat illa: άποθανεϊν θέλω ": it's from Satyricon: For I saw with my own eyes the very Sibyl at Cumae hanging in a bottle, and when the children asked, “Sibyl, what do you want?” she used to answer: “I want to die.” Hasta: Spear Hasta Pendula: Dangling hasta... Tela Mittite: Throw your Missiles! Nubes Telorum: Rain of Missiles (litteraly Clouds of Missiles) Iaculamini: Throw it. ex-iaculari: throw it out. Le petit Prince: is a short novel for child by Saint Exupery. Means "The Little Prince (Princeps)" Tela, Nobis Hastae Sunt: we use Spears just as Missiles Weapons. (It was ironically refearred to the greek hoplites who use spear to melee fight) Lacrime et Sanguine!: This is mixed up latin-italian, means "Tears and Blood!" Frater: Brother, In the ancient Rome, boys and men used to call themselves little brother, little sister, when they were lovers. proxima istanza: next chapter. (mixed latin-medieval italian) Roma Victrix: roma victorious Mater Suspiriorum, Mater Tenebrarum, Mater Lachrymarum: Mother of Sighs, Mother of Darkness/Shadows, Mother of Tears, it comes from "Levana and Our Ladies of Sorrow", a section of Thomas de Quincey's Suspiria de Profundis
Divitias alius fulvo sibi congerat auro/et teneat culti iugera multa soli,/quem labor adsiduus vicino terreat hoste - i try to badly translate it in english: other people could gain richness of yellow shining gold, and a lot of land, but could they have a very very bad moment when the enemy is coming!"
O fortuna - from carmina burana: oh Fortune, in an unstable way, like the Moon, always growup, and then fade away, you are just a turning wheel The ephesian matron - it's an inside story in the Satyricon by Petronius Arbiter, it was telled by the poetaster Eumolpo, it should be the more ancient source on this story, but it is known to be a recurrent theme from the Mylesian Fables. you can read the whole Satyricon, and the Ephesian Matron story inside, looking at this site, it's in english so i dont know if it is translated well, anyway it is for sure far better than my version of the ephesian matron story... http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/p/petr.../complete.html
also remember that the Satyricon is of the Imperial times, Petronio suicided under Nero Emperor, so im using it as a loose inspiration in our time-frame despite it is a later romance...
Table V: Tela Exhaurite: "Fire all the Missiles"! Bush Elephants/Forest Elephants: im not an animal expert so i confused the two kind of Elephants, actually what i called "Bush elephants" were "Forest Elephants" and what i called "Forest elephants" were "Bush Elephants":sweatdrop: Pretorian Guards/Equites Pretoriani: I tend to use this, but i should use Consular Guard, Pretorian Guard just means the Guard of the General in the Tent at the center of the Military Camp. But i dont know when it became commonly used (i suppose in imperial age?). Table VI: "If i can change, and you can change...": quote from b-movie Rocky IV??? The story of the purpled pallium: it's my "free" adaptation of the story told in the Satyricon, i used the Pallium, but there is a little mistake (call it again a poetical license). Infact, in real world, the Pallium is the common robe, while the Tunic is the more precious one, so to make the thing more precious, i should have used the Toga in place of the Pallium. So, when Encolpius says that the rusty countryside folks where almost putting their hands on their Tunics, it was not very correct, cause it is strange that 3 thieves guys who are fleeing, dress some tunics, they should have dressed some Pallia.
also in the Pic of Roma, i say the Senators met Atilius in the Forum?!?... ok another of those poetical licenses...:inquisitive:
Table VII-A: The last man on the Earth: homage to the homonimous 1964 cult film by Ubaldo Ragona, that pic, is also an homage to the 1983 TV movie "The Day After" by Nicholas Mayer. Table VII-B: Parcite luminibus, seu vir seu femina fiat obvia it's from the Elegies of Albius Tibullus, i (badly) translated "keep your eyes away, men and women who meet me along the way..." Trebius: Oscan/Latin name (Since it is a Campanian Cavalry guy) Sociorum Equites: Cavalry of the Allies (friends, socii) No Man's Land: homage to the Cult/Trash 1983 Film "Escape from the Bronx" (Fuga dal Bronx) by Enzo Castellari, also the last Battle pic in the table (that with Jagger), before the Battle Result Tab, is an homage to the scene when the "disinfectors" come to purificate with their flame-throwers the Bronx Buildings... "Leave the Bronx! Leave the Bronx!"
b/w picture in first battle screenshot is M.Bakunin

Sons of Atlantis - A Roman politically uncorrect AAR
ok, thanks everyone for the support!!! im strange so i made an update all new for this AAR who was so near to become an Abort. I advise that this aar is very very loosely based on the Satyricon by Petronio, so you are adverted on the content, and yes, the fallophobics are adviced, im not what you could think reading this aar, is just that i tried to follow the thrama of the romance in someway... :sweatdrop:
ah yes... if you think this will never become a second waste land, you are right...
And than if you like, if you dont like, if you want to make some suggestion, if you want just say somethink, let me know.
[cause i like to use some large picture vertically oriented, press F11 on your keyboard for better view (i was missing this words so much...)]
here we go:
So, here we are, that's Italia, The Land of the FIERCEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD! (except me and a 55 millions people more), Land of the Samniti, from the wooden muntains, the Etruscans, from the sweet lands North of the Tiber, whose ancestors are losts in the abyss of the Time... And last but not least... well, THE ROMANS!!! ok someone says that we were just one of the various Etruscan city states, but we have liberated ourselves from their influence centurys ago... now many people has come to find a way to carry further away their desolate exsistences... and many will come again! But one guy who come from greece here, brought a new specie of animals, sayd elephants, and he was almost going to contaminate the delicate ecosystem of the italian fauna if it not was for a strange accident... luckily enough, infact his giant animals didn't adapt very well to the new ambient and they very soon were fallen dead.
Someone says that it was a local specie of little animals who caused them to extinguish... no one knows the scientific name of these little animals, but it is sayd that they had a strange pointed things they used to kill the above mentioned elephants...
this thing is called "Hasta"
Now, this public enemy of the Ecology called Pyrrhus, fled away from the italian shores... yeah, he fled like a rabbit! ...hmmm... but we cant stand! we Romans have to punish his people and every damned folk who dared to help him to carry his crazy expedition... and well, one of this people we are going to slaughter in a joyful cry, in to a lamentation atone, well, i was saying, ok let me think, what i was saying? ah yes, these people are called Tarantines... TARATATAAAA!
AH! Than Scipio was sent! There are voices in the Senate of Rome, that this General was not the more suitable of imperium... he accused some strange hurts in the stomach in the last few weeks, but then his health will be proven in this venture! (whatever is hosted in the stomach of the poor Scipio...)
and here's the well known town of Tarentum... you know, it was a former colony of the Dorians, founded by Lacedaemonian gentes, it is sayd that people there is so luxurious so nasty, and we could add with no timor of exageration: so lascivious, that is to say if you dare in their presence to just spell some words about the hard labour, well, you wont believe, this cunning people will repute it as an act offence to their sense of the public decore. Their eyes is sayd, cant stand the sight of a man who's embracing his Aratrum...
but ops! we are going to meet the two other guys who could have a role in the story... the army must have had become a quite attractive font of sustantation, if we can find here this two adolescents already old, who have never done something of productive in their inutiles lives... and who dont worth an accident...
hmmm... so it's true that famous proverb so ancient, that says people in the army are signature-markers, who have not a deed in human-existence... anyway lets go to meet them:
But then, that Gito found a way to escape the legion, he came all pretty in the hands of Encolpius... poor Ascilto, he remained all alone, there, with that dirty hairy legionaries...
as usually the wand is lost, the Land is Waste... ah no pardon... ok, along the lands of Italia a dark Legion of strange creatures is marching on... will the people who were used to live so peaceful upon these grounds, be able to face the struggle of an exsistence so fragile, so futile? We will see when we will move on the proxima istanza of this story on the Atlantis Sons...
aka The Romance Satyricon...

Sons of Atlantis - A Roman political uncorrect AAR
thanks everyone (xièxièni!). Here's another updated, i had less time so hope it's not that bad. As usually every comment is much appreciated.
Remember to press F11 on the keyboard and here we go:
In the Deep South... along the sweet valley of the Mississipy, in the mothercountry of the only Jazz... ah pardon... ok lets go: in the Deep South... in the ancient and noble shores of The Magna Grecia, land of sea-trade and commerce, of multyethnical feiths and cultural inter-changes... well i was saying in this deep south... after the Phyrrus expedition... the political situation was set in the Caos.
State-Towns of the southern coast, initially, did not really evaluate the true weight, of the Only Power raising under the ruthless Standards of the Urbs per Antonomasia... these towns, once so rich and prosperous, were famouses for their refined culture and their luxurious style of life... Tarentum was one of these, and we have already seen what was its Fate...
Now i was saying... these peoples of southern Italy were so wealthy so rich... that they used to call themselves Magna Grecia, since they reputed to have reached a far better advanced level of welfare than that of their mothercountry... yes, they were so proud of the heights they reached in every field, from commerce to knowelege, from art to architecture... ok its enough for the prologue... anyway so much beautiful temples and sculpture are just lying there waiting to be sacked!
A lot of famous people was from this blessed shores of the italian coast... from Parmenide to Zenone...to Archita of Taranto! More of them will come to merge their knowledge et sapientia to the Roman Supreme and Unique Virtus! to the Roman True Moral so strong so incorruptible, in a word superior, and wich deserve for sure to rule the known world...
Now if this is to be accomplished, we cant allow to commit some ingenuous mistakes on managing this complex thing that are the Greeks... those people are weak and divided and with Phyrrus gone, no one can stand our indisputable Imperium... they are divided, they will be imperated..
here's an unworthy Roman who had by the Senate, the delicate task to garrison Rhegion... before his arrival, this was a sweet oasys of peace and beauty, surrounded by a land of wilderness and brutality... peoples fierce and savage live there in the inner territories of this sacred enclosure of amene forests and wooden muntains.
This town, in a time of uncertainty, wisely choosed to stay with Rome.
And Rome will give back this Land to its people.
Senate of Rome, after the good end of the Tarentum exploitation, decided to sent Scipio, yes the only and unique Great General Lucio Cornelio Scipione... that one guy that seems so weak, so pale and defenceless, ok that little dwarf who's always sick!...yesh it's not our best... but strange to say, this man was capable to accomplish his mission in an outstanding success... hmmm... who cares what's the problem, that Scipio keep hidden in his tender heart... good old Roman Common Sense, states that a good horse wont be changed!
Oh my... what a satisfaction! what an honour! we cant just imagine, how will they be happy, these people of Rhegion, who can now finally rejoin their beloved parents safe and healthy!
hmmm... well, those people weren't that happy, but a new acquisition has been added to the Roman Cause!
what's this bytheway? somethink lost among the ruins:
Now there are some important matters being debated in the Senate... some senators have the wish to put their noses in the affairs of Sicily and its grain, others, still see the Gauls dominions there in the North, as a permanent Menace... what will be stated? With the Legions marching south and north along the Peninsula... and the nobles have known what could be the precious reward after conquests, there's no way to stop anymore. Too powerful interests stay behind this engrossing machine... enemies of Rome are adviced! Land is Vast but not enough for too many ones! and having a potential foe at the border of our Empire, is a thing we cant allow... It's our auto-defensive politic! Roman Power grows on defending itself from whatever menace!
TBC
hope enjoyed.

I hope you like this new frontispiece (go to check the first post to see it). If you like, and you have not photoshop i could do one personalized for who like to put it in his own aar.
I also added the little golssary of table II and "The year in history 272 b.c." all in the first post of the thread (look in the spoilers!)
I need a suggestion:
I dont want to fight too easy against Cartage, so i dont touch Sicily until i think Cartage is enough strong. Id like to concentrate on the Padane Gaul for now, what do you think?

Cross the Messina strait to provoce the Carthaginians into warfare, and then do nothing. As soon as they are in war with you, they will start recruiting armies on their side of Sicily. If you don't do this, they rarely attack a human roman player. In fact, staying neutral seems to be the best way to be free of attacks.
I'd say, go for the gauls.

wery thanks Skand. this is a very nice suggestion, I will try it!
Also id like someone who is expert on roman warfare, to suggest some historical lines of expansion. Anyway at this point with the Italy reunified, i think heading for the gauls should be eough historical.
Again, i have no idea on how to manage with the 2 isles, at what time i should attack them (im referring to sardinia and corsica)

Divitias alius fulvo sibi congerat auro
et teneat culti iugera multa soli,
quem labor adsiduus vicino terreat hoste
Albius Tibullus - Elegy
The Celts, This strange and misterious people, settled in a time forgotten, along the steppes of Central Europe, they are renomed warriors... as they started to trade Iron from the populations settled along the routs of the black sea, they soon spreaded upon the wooden forests of Northern Europe and Balkans, just like a fload... not much time later, they had already become a deadly menace for the urbanized people of the southern lands... we all know so well, they trust in war, the fiercy guys, as a straight way to achieve power and respect! and their raids, so nasty, will not so easily be forgotten by the greeks and the romans, who just too often had their massive and awkward presence there at their undefinite borders... but sadly for them, for Gauls, despite the greeks have become just a geriatric race at the end of their never-ending Decadence... well, Rome, the only Rome! ok, the city we all know, yes, ROME STILL TRUST IN WAR as a way to achieve the SUPREME POWER!!! So, i was saying... this people just chosed the bad company to come to bother at!
We have at our side just small things as a Superior Civilization, a Stronger and Highter Moral as an achievement, and yes, an Unbeatable WILL!!!
oh! sad boy who whine at a tragic Fate, what do you want to do, there's nothing you can do... put your words aside... history was already written and that's all...
People there lived happy and sweet, a sun just yellow smiling at their lives, wind as docile, caressing their long soaped hairs... and a red tiny lamp of soft warmth, colouring the chubby cheeks of their puffy sons...
but all this happyness, was going to a sudden end... cause the Romans had other plans for their lives. Oh poor sons, they will never arrive to grow-up and ride those chariots! The line of Time has sadly chosen a differen furrow to follow... uhm.... just go to ask to ladies of sorrow who are composing the texure...
war in Cisalpine Gaul, proceded with no rest... one after another, all the villages burnt-out, all the settlements destroyed... some Gauls found a refuge in the lands of their nothern relatives... a lot of them had not even the time to take away the small things of quotidiane use, whole families were divided forever, entire lineages forgotten to dust... a shambles...
Allied Italics are revealing themselves to be some good fighters, at last on holding cavalry charges... hope they are not going to understand that they are elected as the firsts to die in any case... Italics are relatively fresh absorbed in the Empire of the Republic, but they have just proven to be some fidelis allies, and as Rome dont forget their fidelitas in the war with the Pyrrhic Elephant, they are assigned to the more dangerous tasks... it's an honour for this brave people from Samnium muntains... (infact it's better to take them occupied to do something, we dont want them to start remembering their exploits at the Caudine forks...)
AH! What is friendship nowadays? what is that thing so futile? Who, in the world, can state with certainty to trust the words of a friend...? well, this man can't state it for sure!
as usually world is wide and vast, and it's becoming even bigger now that our frontiers have opened to the once happyful lands of the Gauls! Senators cant restrain themselves, they want more and more, they got never sated... they are already talking of Sicily or even to further expand the Roman Dominions upon the inner territories of the transalpine Gauls... who know.

i hope this is not misunderstood on the writing, im joking with what i repute just stupid and dangerous concepts like "imperialism", "superior civilizations", "those are my anchestors!!!", "i live on the roots of my glorious dead anchestors" etc., and im trying to put myself in the optical of the mad imperialist guy, just to try a different perspective (very very faraway from my thinking)... hope this is understood, as much as the irony i try to put behind these bad concepts.
Sayd this just cause people could thing something completely different, who knows...
we are humans, we are just crazy...
EDIT: i added the little glossary of table III: "Submission", in the first post of the thread (under spoil)
There is (badly) translated the first 3 verses of the elegy by Tibullus.

Re: Sons of Atlantis - A Roman political uncorrect AAR
thanks people, moosemamno there will be for every taste i hope... here's a small appendix to table 3, to introduce the next chapter, remember i cant retrain troops, so it's slow for me to replenish armies. But as i got expanded enough, i will start to create some forts in the "hot-points" of the map, when i mass reserve troops, ready to be merged with old troops. for now i just train a fresh unit in Arretium or Roma and send it to merge with one of the 2 actual legions, so it tooks some turns.
as the Mamertines, campanian mercenaries enroled by Syracuse, had to turn back in Italy, part of them decided to stay in the Isle...
They are named after the War-God Mamerte, a god worshipped among the Oscans... a strict relative of the Roman War-God Marte...
well, this guys took Messana, and used it as a base for their piratesque exploits among the sea-villages there around the coasts...
...but as the syracusans were almost to conquer the town, this mercenaries finally asked help to Chartage...
...not much time passed than even the punics were not welcomed anymore, so they called Rome to free the port of the town by the Chartaginian presence...
there will be again i guess, we are starting to find this strange papers spreaded among the map...
there were no such plague anyway, let's hope there will never be...and that we have eyes to see what is going to happen in the next episode of SoA...

Re: Sons of Atlantis - A Roman political uncorrect AAR
here's an update, thanks everyone for support as usually, that's really important, kambiz thanks friend, i hope i can continue it, but the problem is that im slow! uff! Subudei, nice to have you back here too friend, hope you will not be deluded by the "different", ok lets say "evil" perspective im trying to use:laugh4: , anyway there is a guest star there inside, hope i haven't done a great pastiche... ok i just think it's just a messed up huge pastiche, anyway here it is:
(remember to press F11 on the keyboard to enlarge the browser, and let me know if you can see the pictures, anyway, it was an hard work to try to make those Siracuse hoplites to look good, cause they appear way too bright in the game... i had to lower the saturation a lot with photoshop, i have the same problem with the shields of the roman equites)
there was this so called poetaster, Eumolpo, a great, great poet of wide countryside importance...hmmm, this famed guy, whose fame is spreaded in the fuor corners of the known world, ok, just there around his two hundred people village... well, this guy started to tell us a really strange story... he was talking of a beautiful matron from the blessed town of Ephesus, who was so famed for her great sense of fidelity and for her uncorruptible sense of familiar pietas... well, he sayd, she, the beautiful matron, had the sad disgrace to loose her beloved husband yes, and that was an huge loss, a tremendous fact we see... it seemed there were no way to turn back from that so unexpected shock... so, I say... this husband was taken in the tomb, and the good and young, and prosperous, and fleshy, and i dare to add incredible sexy wife, decided to pass all the nights, and all the days, there inside the Tomb with the corpse of this husband... wishpering and screaming to the four winds...
But Fate, or Fortune... or whatever you want to call it...
O fortuna
Velut luna
Statu variabilis
Semper crescis
Aut decrescis
Tu rota volubilis...
ok i was saying the Fate, we know the Fate cant stand a day without just joking with the lives of us poor mortals... so, this Fate so nasty, decided to prove her so widely famed fidelity... her uncorruptible family pieats...what is this anyway? oh look, another of those strange pergamenes...
hmmm... just to continue the story... this infamous poetaster here, he was telling us about this Matron from Ephesus, and well, there were some Latrons... who were crucifixed there just near the Tomb of her poor husband... and, to keep people away and to not allow their parents to rescue the corpses and bury them, you know... it is so important to bury a corpse, if you dont bury it, its soul will not be able to find a peace, and ghosts will come in your room in the night disturbing your dreams... not even counting all the times they could steal the keys of your car... ghosts are scaring .. and the latrons had to not find a peace... they were criminals we know, and criminals deserve that...
But what? ah yes, you need to be updated here on dominions of the Republic, so lets see, lets see...
a Second Legion heading for Messana... The camp is setted there on the Island, so the dice has been thrown, and bunnies came out of the cylinder... we have definitively put our noose in the international affairs of the world there outside... and yes soldiers in the camp are waiting there in the night around the lamp of a fire, the rest of the story of the Ephesian Matron as Eumolpo was telling us...
well, here we go, we have this unconsolable widow who cant leave the Tomb of her never enough complained husband, and these 3 Latrons crucifixed there around the tomb... and as i was saying, to keep people away from the crosses, there were a Soldier, a beautiful young man blessed by the God of Love, who had this too delicate task to keep the guard at the agonizing Latrons... and to not allow people to steal their bodies to bury them...
But, as often happens in every story, just a few hours there guarding the crosses, and the Soldier well... got bored...
So, why to not go to visit the unconsolable widow there whispering and crying inside that tomb?... Oh my... a man, strong and muscled and ehm... well equipped... and an unconsolable happy widow, who was not only famed for her unarrivable fidelity... but also for her white marble tender fleshes and the black silk hairs, not even talking of the huge hills pending from a gifted breast, well... these two, there closed in a tomb there in the underground... in the night... at the lamp of a candle... with the wind breezing outside and all the things... in the night, ok ive just sayd that.
So, to not bore you anyfurther... well... ehm... uhm, ok! IT HAPPENED! The unconsolable widow just thought: "WHY NOT?" and BAAAAM! PATAPUM! Two days and two nights with no eating, no drinking, just doing that all the damned day, and the whole night, with no rest, like rabbits... PUM! PUM! PUM! It was sayd, that as the poor soldier came outside the tomb, his face was even more pale than that of the poor husband of the widow unconsolable... he was barely able to stand on his own legs... but as his eyes became used to the sunshine... then watch! OH NOOO! who would believe that! Someone just profited of the two sweat days he passed there closed in the tomb... and well, one of the corpses of the Latrons was stealed! That was to say he was going to be crucifixed too, himself in person!...since he didn't achieve that delicate task... well, he just turned back to the widow crying like a child, and started whining left and right about his tragical Fate... but then... well, you wont believe it, the beautiful matron, whose heart was moved to pity, just had this thought: it's way better to crucifige a single alpretty dead husband, tough complained, than to find herself alone in a wild world, with two dead lovers, one dead and buried in a tomb, and one dying upon a cross. So that's it... they decided to move the corpse of her dead husband from the tomb, and brought it on the cross there in the place of the stealed Latron body... so that no person could think the soldier had not accomplished his duty, and the unconsolable widow, well, this tender heart... got a new friend to enjoy for the rest of the life!.. and well, nobody thought the widow lost her family pietas, since the tomb was sealed and that's all folks...
but to turn back on the second legion, here we see Messana was not that difficult achievement:
what we could have expected?
but thinking on that story of Eumolpo, a sense of sadness and melancholy take my delicate heart...
AH! That's the truth on the femal infinite fidelity my friends and on their unremovable heart... and on their firm soul! Those are women my poor bastards! bah... ok, too melodramatic... anyway lets try to think on the positive! yeah, that could be true, but it's even more true for life, that always like to joke with whatever stupid social conventions we are capable to invent...
Gerone, the Tyrant of Siracusa, he was officially a friend of Rome... really a nice friend, we are just going to visit him, so to see how much friendly he is...
a guy was sent there in the town to prepare for us a deserved welcome... hope he is doing well, we dont expect too much, just flovers along the streets and people kneeling at our side... a TRIUMPHAL MARCH!
and... here we are! down the walls... they took forever to decide what to do... c'mon, we are friends! our guy has obtained to open the gates in some way, so we cant stand there waiting forever, it's time to show them something!
hmmm... well, this Geronimo opposed a pike-wall of their best hoplite warriors, the more trained, the more experienced! just there behind the gate... AUGH!
Ok, but no-one answered the capital question... WHY THE HELL HE WAS THERE!!! Hmmm... no-one knows what is passing for the head of our ARTIFEX SUPREME... and no-one will ever know... but yes, we have feith!
hmmm... what other to add, you got that story of the Ephesian Matron, some pics not too bad i hope, a pair of battles, and well, 3 good romances are all a man can hope to achieve in a life... ok that was the good old Ernie who used to say that, so i dont know why im just saying that... ok the land is vast and prosperous as usually, people is happy, life is beautiful, and world is wonderful... and perfectly round... like that big red round apple just waiting to be bitten there on the table... at last if you dont care the nasty brown worm fat and juicy there inside, that is just wondering... how can be sweet a Life there inside that big, and red, and round apple... and that white juicy pulp to eat away... slowly, gnam... Gnam! GNAM!

thanks PF, i will try to use my leves at their best:duel:
anyway i dont know, id like to have some hints, if i try to push back Cartago from Sicily, and i buid a flot of navy:pirate2: to sally out to sardinia and Corsica and try to conquer it, could this be enough for a sort of first punic war?
im building a flot of 2 war units and 1 trasport one:titanic: for the case i want to invade the two isles.
Also is it good if i try to have a stronghold in Massalia too?
the fact is that im neutral with Aedui, so i cant expand in Gallia, and massalia should be rebel. My only declared enemy are cartaginians now.
im too lazy now for going to read again some manuals i read years ago, so im not much expert in punic wars.
So in definitive, im trying to achieve these objective for next table:
Sicily, Corsica, Sardinia and Massilia, what do you think people?:help:

Re: Sons of Atlantis - A Roman political uncorrect AAR
Taking Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica should be enough for a First Punic War yes.
The Romans did take Sicily and a few years later forced the Carthaginians to give up Sardinia, so that would be okay I think. Massilia was firmly allied with the Romans, so taking it and perhaps keeping it at L4 Gov. would be quite historical.
Anyway, great work man, hilarious.

"If following a historical point of view Obelics, I would battle for control of Sardinia and have poss 2x fleets for any Cartahginian naval units that may be encountered north and south of Sicily. When Carthage sued for peace and due to the heavy war indemnities they had to pay i.e reparations that the romans demanded, Carthage agreed to pay their mercenaries (especially Sicilian veterans who served under Hamilcar) way too late which led to rebellion. This coupled with their ongoing war to subdue the Numidian princes left Carthage in trouble and Rome seized the opportunity to take Sardinia and Corsica. So, take and secure Sicily first. However, I pray most fervently to great Ba'al that he favours the Punic forces on Sicily to crush the romani scum." :yes:

Re: Sons of Atlantis - A Roman political uncorrect AAR
ok, thanks for the tips, im not sure im doing something that have just a far appearence of a punic war, im not an expert, and ive not the pazience and time to do that, so, lets say there will be just a flavour of it. Anyway thanks everyone and here's an update, sorry for the long time (im slow i know) and here we go (remember to press F11 on keyboard since i like vertical pics):
Carthage is a respected power... yes, and feared too... infact, as we were almost concluding the negotiations with Pyrrhus, a Carthagianian fleet were stationing just near the coast, to make it clear, if it was not clear enough, that they wanted the War against Pyrrhus going on... and that's the way it was concluded... for their enormous pleasure, for our enormous pleasure...
You know, these acerrimi nemici of the Greeks, were so happy to have a strong ally crushing them from the north... that they couldn't stand in their clothes... but now...
...well, now that all of Italia and Sicilia is strongly in our hands, and that the greek towns of the southern coasts are submitted... ah! so, now that Gerone II of Syracuse, badly defeated by romans at first, and then turned so wisely a good ally of Rome, well, they see, those Carthaginians, that all their plans of conquest of Sicilia and Southern Italy... that all this great plot of domination over the whole Mediterraneum, well, this dream, this crazy dream, is going to fade away... like tears in the rain... I´ve seen things you people wouldn't believe, attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion...I watched C-Beams glitter in the dark near... ehm ops! ok, so i was saying, this Carthaginians marched East trying to take Syracuse...
Their huge African Forest Elephants, were already routed, as the enemy General, leading an unit of bush pony elephants, try to break through our lines...
that abstinence syndrome by nano-probes, is so annoying... that it causes to our nice(?!?) C.Aurelius a great head-ache... but he can still lead a charge!
after that massive defeat, the Carthaginians retreated in the West, where their positions were still strong, but the Roman army, following this retreat, sacked and eslaved Agrigentum, that was presidiated by a Carthaginian garrison. The price of the rescue of its hinabitants was payed by all the greek towns of the region...
there is people so lungimirant, so zealous, who already see here, in this much convulsed time of the history, that so much auspicated decline of the South... well, we say it's just an escatologic delirium... could even be some evil seeds were spreaded, but we, who were just extraneous to all this, will assure a golden and sweet and slowly and slowly... slowly decline for this blessed lands...
well, as usually... as usually what? ah...! we will just say that the way of the war, is full of accidents and perils...and if you dont follow the stream, and you are not updated on the changes happening among the mob and the high classes... and then, if you just pursue a crazy dream of war, with not a large base of consensus... you could end like a guy that... oh well, we will see that in the next chapter...

yes, you're right, call it just my personal tribute to the coolness factor, a sort of poetic license... i will call them Consular Guards anyway, when i will addressing them. I know Pretorian Guards term, is taken from the Tent of the General in the Camp, but in effect it is too early to call them in that way i guess.
Another think:
there is a screen-shot showing C.C. Blasio being appointed Consul, and then a screen-shot showing the same guy being appointed Provincial Governor.
The two screenshots are not related, he should have been appointed as a third Praetor (after the urban Praetor and the peregrin Praetor). Anyway it was the Computer who nominated him Governor of Sicily, so i have no guilt in that.
