Of course i'm open for discussion :)
point is that you have to rise a few ranks before u get to have a say.

Der don't have to be 2 tribunes persé, you can also pick one :) same thing for praetor.

and navarro, yes, caesar was a military man.. but you forget that he DID NOT fight his wars when consul (atleast not before the civil war). Eeven after the civil war, where he was kind of a dictator but not yet officially.. there was his Co-consul, staying in Rome!

There was always one consul in Rome if the other had to fight. Which is why i chose the CoF to stay in Rome :)
But he gets to pick his first province after his term, to give an incentive to play him :) After your term is up, you can go play where you want ;p
