Ok, this is not good...

I forgot to mention that I use the Alex.exe

So, just go on without me for this turn. I just want to ask a favor: could anyone just take my character, a 31 year old named Servivs, and move him towards the Legio I fort?

I'll try to reinstall quickly.

Well everyone has to IC accept you as his third in command. And once he does that he can sponsor no more tribuni. You can only have two subordinates.

**desert** · 12-24-2008, 23:32

Hmm...my character's intention is not to fight FOR the Romans, as far as I know...

He doesn't want to fight at all, really.

I might have to rethink his objectives... but tell me - are you going to assign a provincial dictator of Taras after it is taken?

PS: And no, I'm not trying to get Servivs the provincial dictatorship.

Ah yeah, that reminds me Navarro. I think we may need to think of subtitutes for battle points. Because I dont think theres going to be enough wars and legions if taking command of battles is the only way of gaining anything. I think there needs to be more than one path. Is it too late to think of somehting and add it to the rules and explanations and what not? Seeing as we're still in the testing stage now is a good time to do it. Do you see my point?

@ BaenWell in both LoTR and WoTB we only give commanders BP points and it works out as more people go into combat. See points are given to the person who ACTUALLY commanded the battle. So say your a Tribunus and your Legatus in RL cannot take the save to fight a battle, because you are present in that army you can fight it instead and since you personally in RL made the tactical decisions to win or lose, you will get or lose the points.

@Desert well the first P.Dictatorship is going to probably go to Roka ive decided and I thinking Ariminum or Taras ya.

Sry to intrude but battle points are only in WotB. In LotR you need land to get higher rank.

Uhhm, would it be too much to ask you to do it for me?

I'm not lazy or anything, I just want to keep the game moving along.

I agree with the "other path", perhaps we could make a "governor's path" instead of a "General's path", and create some new ranks regarding city governorship, perhaps I shall propose this Charter Amendment at the next congressional session as a Dux (which hopefully I might get if I get another clear victory over the Epirotes)

**navarro951** · 12-25-2008, 01:46

we already have government ranks making new ones like that would be an entirely new proposition to the game. Trust me it works out guys. Prov.Dictators can have their aids its all the same. Also this is Rome there will be PLENTY of action when we go against the Guals guaranteed. And when we get the money there will be a legion for nearly every other general.

In the game you are your character and your character only. You can't be your character + Mars.

I will make my IC entrance tomorrow, I think. It is my opinion though that the typical army should have enough and the right units to allow for the tactic that... err... "Mars" told us to use.

It seems much more correct to have it that way. I also have a slight problem with the whole "dictator" thing. Why not consul and co-consul? I do not know what those dudes did historically (Rome is really not my favourite area), but in Camillan times I think "dictator" would be worse no matter what the consuls actually did. -.-

(I am aware that they could become dictator, but this was if I have understood things correctly only for a limited time, and not something they wanted to be permanent. Perhaps adding a rank of dictator that can be held by X person Y time and giving Z benefits, or just have it as it is but with changed names. That's my opinion, at least.)
