Caivs Avrelivs Cotta

Caivs Avrelivs Cotta for me please, Navarro. I'd like to be currently serving as a young officer in the garrison of Capua. Eager to impress and prove my worth to my Father and to Rome, I plan to apply to join the army as a low officer.

Ever since I was entered into the officer class by the wealth of my father, I have been ridiculed by my peers for my Plebivs standing. From a very young age, I faced hardships and often got into fights with a young aristocratic boy and his thug-like mates. However I learnt quickly that this would soon be the end of me in an environment such as mine. I began to sneak into the local school, where I hid while the aristocratic boy who I had had a few run ins with took his lessons. Over the year, I learnt to read and write Latin and Greek. The tutor also taught the boys oratorry lessons, and I practiced what I had learnt in the safety of my home.

When my father was awarded for his ingeniality with the Saturnalia feast, he finaly had enough money to buy in to the lowest senatorial class. He entered me, as a young child of twelve, into the officer training classes in the Capuan Academy. I spent four years there, anxious to prove myself to my teachers and my fellow pupils, but I have yet to acquire the respect I hope for.

My father died earlier this year in a illness. In consolation for his loss, I was awarded his senate seat. However, being so young and with so little experience, I realise I am vulnerable and need a patron and mentor inside the senate house. I am, however, determined not to be simply used for my vote, or to be manipulated by more powerful men.

And now, the southern legion is reborn. The might of Rome marches to capture the city of Taras in the south. I have just graduated from the Academy, and now is the perfect time to make my father proud. I have applied to join the Legion heading for Taras. But sometimes, I wonder. What's the point? They're never going to let me lead men-veterens-to war. A boy, they will see me as. I guess I will probably spend the rest of my life in Capua, or Arpi, or Arimium, the most exciting parts of my life being thieves in the market, or a fire in the Greek quarter. I dream of great things. Yet they are only dreams.

[navarro951]

Great story and Capua it is for you only problem is that I will be playing your father as the faction leader and you as my son so that part needs to go ;)...and when i get this games "Story" thread up you should keep this one to put it in their and let our players know your backround.

[everyone]

hi,

Cnaevs Conelivs Scipio Asina

I'll have Cnaevs Cornelivs Scipio please, I'll start in Arpi, thank you.

Easy work around, Navarro. The faction leader can be my adoptive father; seeing as I was looking for a patron in the senate, that can be you.

Just in case you missed it on the EB forum thread:

The original Roman FL dies within one year. If you give away the faction heir, who are you going to be?

i need to know where u want to start or ill just put you in Roma.

[Potocello]

hi, i would love to be part of this but im a little confused as to how to get a character.

I am new to this so i will take the one with the least amount of power so i can get the feel of it.

[navarro951]

okay well i will be spawning new characters in game but it will be later today, keep urself open

[/Bean\]

Potocello you're a little late to become one of the three starting characters, but if I understand correctly, you will be able to join once the game is up and running as one of the future characters. TinCow wants us to do a trial three years to make sure we're worth the trouble of making a sub-forum, then we can start recruiting. I'd advise you to follow the game as a spectator, then you can be up to date with whats happening, learn how to conduct things, and be ready to jump straight in as soon as the time comes.

EDIT: Fine, go with that then, Potocello. Navarro knows the deal.

well put and indeed thanx Baen! but i may end up recruiting two new ones today so well see but im gonna post the first save in an hour so everyone can do their moves. once again make sure u know the rules from the start!

[Potocello]

Baen, thanks for the info, i think spectating would be perfect for me so i can understand how this works.

Are you starting the trial 3 years now?

thanks again for the info

[/Bean\]

Today, yes. You may want to download the save games as well Potocello, but I would advise only to look, to touch. Seeing as technically its against the rules for you to move anything yet, if you interacted with the gameplay it would differ from what we will be doing.

Thank you

Oh, and btw Navarro, I have LZ3's mini mod pack, will this majorly affect the gameplay? Nothing major is changed, but if you are not familiar with it, the list of mini mods used are here:

# AI Battle Formation Mods* ; by --Sinhuet and special thanks to Lysander13 for the compilation
# Spoils of Victory; by V.T. Marvin
# Some trait changes (command stars & cursus honorum) by konny.
# Win Conditions; originally by JRMC and special thanks to konny for making a new 1.2 version
# Roman Allied Legions; by konny
# Aquilifer unit; by lt1956, creator of the SPQR mod
# Force Diplomacy Minimod; by DimeBagHo , update byJarardo
# Darth Stalin's 1.1 Romani Fix with "corrected" Gallic Helm
