This thread is for seasonal summaries of in-game events by the Consuls, and reports by the players on actions they have taken with the saved game.

Other than the Consuls, players should only post in this thread to say they are taking the save, to upload a new save, and to report whatever actions they have taken with the save.

Emperor's Report, Summer 272 BC

Building

The people of Ariminum live in happier times as law&order there has been renewed by the set-up of a provincial military government. The setting up of an allied state is now also being constructed there this spring.

An army fort has been set up south of Arpi to begin rallying forces to defend against the Epirotes. Two RGBs have been put in queue in Roma and Ariminum as well.

Internal Affairs
Taxes have been set to high in Arpi.

Foreign Affairs
The Empire of Selukia has broken its Alliance with Pontus, Hayasdan, and Baktria. Our diplomats have settled a ceasefire with the Aedui and established trade with them. Our northern borders are now safer.Allies: Qarthasdam Enemies: Epiros and Averni

fought a minor battle against the small force of epirotes. damned skirmisher cavalry fled before I could engage them properly.
(since there's no battle reports thread I'll post the battle report with this)

the enemy has some toxotai and 37 hippeis tarantinoi left, we lost 6 principes and 16 equites (bodyguard)

moved into the fort to await the other troops to arrive afterwards

I have now joined Legatus Asina and Legio I Apulia in the fort. We still await reinforcements.

As a further report, the Tarentine army seems to have enlarged in size. Perhaps it may be prudent to send scouting forces ahead as a vanguard to assess the enemies strength, and perhaps to test their defences.

Emperors Report Autumn, 272

Buildings
Arimiunum has out-grown itself within Roma's power and will require the construction of a villa magistratus. Our military builders have set up the allied state in Arimiunum. In Arretium, the people will be pleased to know our builders have begun construction on a circus simplex and games will be held within two seasons.

Three more units have arrived at the fort of the I Legion of Apulia. They were 1 Principes, 1 Hastati, and 1 Accensi. 1 more Accensi is on its way and will arrive next season placing the Legion in full strength.

done with the previous save!
new save: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/local...id=193&id=4248

actually there was a unit of Hoplites outside the city, when I attacked it, it coaxed the garrison out of the city and onto the battlefield, and I was very fortunate to have a very nice battlefield that was a large plain with some light forests at the sides. and what's more fortunate, the cavalry charges were all superb.
I'll just carry on with my battle report. (making it IC)

moved Legio I Apulia to besiege Rhegion; the gates are still completely undamaged. darn, I shall attack tomorrow then.
Navarro, perhaps we should stop fastforwarding the game now, to allow people to catch up; taking the city can wait, and the other players are probably going to role-play a fair bit when they get online.
