[everyone]

Next year will finally get this conquest for Taras underway and well really see how we can can handle ourselves. Good luck everyone I hope you earn us our first major battle victory.

well that depends, because since Servivs A.P.R (desert) is joining the Legio I Apulia as a tribunus (unconfirmed), we might need another turn to get everyone all the troops ready to strike immediately, and also there's the trouble with the other accensi unit, which has the same problem as Servivs A.P.R., unless I may move to besiege the city before they arrive.

I like his idea ^^...VOTE!

I wasn't planning on joining the Legion, just shadowing it.

In-game wise, how do you mean?

[desert]

My character will be next to the legion on the map.

Presumably, he will arrive during the siege of Taras.

lol, what is there to vote here?
anyway, we might want to cut down on expenditure, our coffers seem to be getting thinner and thinner every turn, perhaps it might be solved with a quick expulsion and sacking of Taras and its population (although Asina's not selfish enough to do that)

i recommend we just occupy it, make them loyal and then start generating money from its trade through the seas.

[everyone]

very well, but if the public order face is red or blue, I'll expel its population to maintain public order ok?

[navarro951]

well actually its entirely up to you. As they say to the victor goes the spoils. You can IC PM me saying "Emperor what do you recommend I do Blah blah" when you take a city. But thats if you so wish. In all its up to the general who took the city.

Roleplay wise we could expel the populace opposed to Roman Rule or just occupy the city and its lands, but i think enslaving or buthering would be wrong. The Romans view this as their city to take, not as a mighty conquest of enemy lands to weaken their resolve or plunder their riches. We would want this city in working order, it just may take a year or so for the population to accept our rule. We may want to make it an ally of Rome before absorbing it first...ie:Type IV Gov.

I'll tell you this much: Lvcivs Cornelivs Scipio is going to receive a visitor soon after assuming his position as provincial dictator.
