Consul Reports

[everyone]

don't worry, it does mean that I get to celebrate my Triumph a day earlier.
huzzah!
by the way, did you use the recently passed RC to move yourself back to Rome?

[everyone]

huzzah! re-downloaded and installed EB!
taking the save!
hold on, where's the save?

[/Bean\]

Yeah I used the move_character but I'm still invisible, so I am pretty annoyed by that. Is it reversable anyone?

Oh, and I got distracted last night...I must have forggoten to post the new save, I'll edit it now.

[everyone]

oh noes, you didn't move yourself out of the settlement?
you're supposed to move yourself out of the settlement, or there'll be a CTD when your character dies (probably), and as you can see, a "?" unit card should appear in ambrakia (where you were previously)
it's advisable that you re-do your move_charactering, if you moved him directly from Ambrakia


edit: ok never mind, it seems everything seems to be functioning, taking the save...

edit 2: save is back!

Cicero is moving back to Rome
CoF, you may wish to destroy the carthaginian MICs in Lilibeo which we cannot use (and get the 4000 denarii)
and also please check my SOT on other orders regarding Provincia Sicilia.

[/Bean\]

I took Navarro's save, moved my character out of Ambrakia so that I could teleport him back to Roma, and found he was invisible. That means someones tried to move a Caivs while I was in Ambrakia in a previous save. So it is reversable did you say?

Oh and the turn wont end till tomorrow morning, since I forgot to post the save...then I'll end it that evening, and keep to that time.

[everyone]

never mind, I didn't get what you're saying but everything seems fine to me when I took a look at Ambracia and Roma.

Consul of Finance Report, Summer 253


Buildings

Massilia has begun work on enlarging it's living space, and becoming a larger city.

Semitae (Roads) have begun to be constructed in and around Messana.

Small farms are being prepared in the kingdom of Dalminion.

Internal Affairs

Tiberivs Cornelivs Scipio has hired the services of a Physician.

Spvrivs Clavdivs Flamen has hired the services of an agriculturist.

Our diplomat, T.B. Carbo, has begun moving north, out of Sicilia.

Foreign Affairs

BIG NEWS: The Epirites and the Makedonians have signed a cease-fire agreement. They are no longer at war with each other. The Epirites may now be more focused on Roma, while the Makedonians can concentrate the majority of their forces on the Greeks to the south. This diplomatic movement may have stemmed from the unconfirmed reports of the city of Korinthos falling into Greek hands. Athens is barely defended.

Epirite and Byzantine forces are growing still. A small force has left occupied Pella, and stands ready outside it's gates.

Seleukid talks continue in Byzantion.

The Arche Seleukeia is once again the most advanced nation.

Military

I suggest either the Legio III commander or a practical person take command of the remnants of the Legio III and return it to mainland Italia for retraining ASAP.

Carthaginian ships have been spotted of the coast of Corsica. There may be a risk of raids on the Italian coast.

Mnai: 10408 (saving up for Legion retraining)

OOC Notes:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Did you fancy a trip to Arpi, Everyone? It took me a while to find you. I was trying to give you the Provincia Sicilia from TCM, but I'll do that when you get back.

[everyone]

eh. taking the save...
(on the legio III thing, couldn't the CoL move the legion back for retraining, since it was instructed (somewhere, I forgot where, but it was)

[mini]

Erm

Is there ny decision made on:
Which Legion will belong to which province.
Which Province is chosen by the current CoL
Has the previous CoF chosen his province? (since there were no praetors last session, only the CoF gets to choose)
Who will govern the remaining provinces.


I really don't see how we can continue without these issues being solved.

EDIT: I see the rules still haven't been updated? Aren't the reforms finally kicking in now?

[everyone]

navarro hasn't been here for a day already, and there wasn't any CoL report previously. presumably, Blasio was hit on his head by a low-flying rock, and lost consciousness.
anyway, save is back.

Consul Report, Autumn 253BC

Buildings

Taras will need to expand in a couple of seasons, once the current building project has finished and the workforce has been freed up. I leave this to the discretion of the Tarentine governer. #

Lilibeo has been Romanised, and the next building project must be decided upon.

Internal Affairs

Manivs Clavdivs Cicero is celebrating his Triumphvs in Roma! I invite all to the streets to watch this epic procession of our Republic's hero!

Titvs Avrelivs Cotta has hired the services of an armourer.

Lilibeo's population is getting rowdy in the absence of the governer.

Foreign Affairs

The Byzantine and the Seleukid talks continue in Byzantion.

The Epirite and Byzantine forces continue to grow. Perhaps the Roman lands in Greece should be put on alert?

In response to the recent peace, Makedonian forces have begun to be transferred from Demetrias back down south to continue the war on the Greek city states.

Mnai: 16000 odd. Saving for Legion retraining.

Consul of Finance report, Winter, 253 BC

Building

Ambrakia has completed the local recruitment scheme.

Semitae (roads) have been completed in Messana.

Syrakousai has expanded, and is now a large city.

In continuence of my policy to improve public health across the Republic, I have ordered basic sanitization projects in the cities of Patavium, Segesta, Segestica, Ambrakia and Tolosa.

Internal Affairs

Our Italian diplomat, T.B. Carbo, has betrayed the Republic in return for riches, and now works for the Epirite barbarians.

I request that the Consul of the Legions find a willing figure from Roma to kill T.B. Carbo for his betrayal, and then the Epirite diplomat for making him betray us in the first place.

My younger cousin, Tiberivs Avrelivs Cotta, has become a Tribvnvs Milita.

Sextvs Cornelivs Scapvla is described as a light sleeper.

Communication between Roma and the Legio II in Epirus has broken down. In the current foreign situation there, I believe Roman Epirus is in extreme danger. With the Epirites growing in force outside Pella, and the Legio II seemingly leaderless, we are in danger of being overrun.

External Affairs

Merchant reports from Greece infer that the Peloponesse is back in Makedonian hands.

Our eastern diplomat, T.S. Blaesvs, has met with the Seleukid diplomatic party in Byzantion, and has convinced them to agree to an alliance with us. This will surely stop any more talks with the Byzantines.

T.S. Blaesvs is now moving east, and reports that the land of the Galatians in under the control of the Arche Seleukeia.

Military

Legio III has reached Capua, and has begun to retrain and refill it's ranks.

The smaller force behind them has left Sicilia and is on its way to Roma.

Sorry, so busy last night, didn't get round to doing this. I'll take the save now, and keep to the time tonight. This new save will be up for 14 hours rather than 24 then. Sorry for that.

Consul of Finance report, Spring, 252 BC

Building

Taras has completed building a school.

A Stationis Vigilvm has been completed in Rhegion, and now a Sanitation program has started.

Syrakousai has begun building a Fanum Ceris (Holy site of Ceres).

Patavium, Segesta, and Segestica have begun Stationis Vigilvm.

Internal Affairs

I once again request that the Consul of the Legions find a willing figure from Roma to kill T.B. Carbo for his betrayal, and then the Epirite diplomat for making him betray us in the first place.

Qvintvs Fabivs Licinvs has shown he is a talented leader.

Sextvs Cornelivs Scapvla has been awarded with a Pvblico Eqvvs.

Pirates have been spotted in the Straits of Messana.

We have foiled a major offensive plan by Eperios, by rooting out two of their spies from Ambrakia and Epidamnos. However they both evaded capture. We believe their plans were to open the gates once the Epirite army crossed the mountains from Pella.

External Affairs

Due to the failed plan by Epeiros, their army has moved back into Pella.

Our eastern diplomat, T.S. Blaesvs, has met with Pontic officials in Pontus, and both agreed to renew their map information.

T.S. Blaesvs is now moving south, towards Syria.

We have also secured trade and map information from the Germans across the Rhine, and their promise of friendship if they agree to stop attacking our allies the Averni.

Military

Legio III has retrained.

raised taxes in Lilibeo and Syrakousai. and moved Appius Aemilius Lepidus over to Messana (via console, since it's allowed). and I notice that TCM's character is still sitting in Messana, since it's not possible to kill him off, so I moved him into a fort by Mt. Etna, and transferred the provincial governor ancillary over to Cicero (this is all perfectly legal, yes?)

[/Bean\]

I said in my first Consul post, but no one paid attention

[mini]

i'm not paying attenion to anything, seing as nthe new ranks should have kicked in, and governement would look totally different from what it is now

I'm just laying low in the game until what has been decided sessions ago, to be actually activated.

[everyone]

gah! navarro should add them once he logs on, he seems to not have updated anything since two sessions ago, perhaps he's too busy with real-life matters to settle this game's administrative stuff.

[mini]

well, if that's the case, ok


but i can't see how this game goes on, while there is no governement in place, no governement like the one weall voted upon

Guess what, its that time again! Takin ze save.

Consul of Finance report, Summer, 252 BC

Building

Rhegion has completed the sanitation program, and I have invested in some deep shaft mines there. They should boost our economy considerably once completed.

Basic farms have been completed across Dalminion.

Syrakousai has completed its shrine to Ceres.

Internal Affairs

Like a spreading disease, the next victim of the Epirite gold haul from Makedonia falls on some of the Roman survivors returning from Sicilia. They have abandoned the Republic in return for Epirite gold.

I once again renew my request that the Consul of the Legions find a willing figure from Roma to kill T.B. Carbo for his betrayal, and then the Epirite diplomat for making him betray us in the first place. I fear more and more of our soldiers and officials will fall for Epirite gold if we don't deal with this problem.

Congratulations to Manivs Clavdivs Cicero on the birth of his son, Avlvs.

Congratulations to Qvintvs Aemilivs Regillis on the birth of his son, Marcvs.

Congratulations to Tiberivs Cornelivs Scipio on the birth of his daughter, Vlpia.

Manivs Clavdivs Cicero is reported to have unhappy people, but is also self controlled and has acquired a Pvblico Eqvvs.

Appivs Aemilivs Lepidvs has hired the services of a Cook.

To add to our growing problems there, a rebellion has occured in Epirus.

External Affairs

Epirite forces have regrouped in and outside Pella, and now outnumber us by a large margin.

Makedonia has signed a cease-fire with the Getai tribe.

Military

The small force of survivors behind Legio III have been lost to Epirus gold.
