Theres a part in the Senate thread about battle tactics...technicaly we're all still meant to be in there discussing it, seeing as that session never closed

[navarro951]

Heh, I understand.

Also, I'm guessing we're using Republican Legions/tactics right now?

historically, yes...in game id prefer for the sake of not getting owned you do what works for you as commander if Republican tactics work for you then by all means kill sum barbarians!

taking the save!

...done, noticed that you didn't move Regvlvs, I just moved him north until he's next to Asina, both should arrive in Rome next season

how is the public in Rhegion then? i still have one more Akontistai to make

[everyone]

it's still green, don't worry, but the other akontistai might be needed in case the population expands too quickly or the carthaginians decide that we're going to invade sicilia

Also, I'm guessing we're using Republican Legions/tactics right now?

we'll we're supposed to be, but if you see my report on the battle near Taras, I didn't because of the lack of infantry

[Potocello]

hey guys! as you may or nay not have noticed, i have been absent from these threads for quite some time. this is due to some bad internet connections to my comp and to my PS3 which has left me ready to hurl them out of my window. anyway just checking back in to let you know im still with it. i may be absent for a few more days to try and fix these issues.

Oh and my laptop display broke too. its just been a bad week.
looking forward to some good ol' RTW to chear me up :)

[everyone]

welcome back!
ok, we have good news, we're forming another legion (as you have read), and that means all the current players who are tribuni can join the legions and have a chance to be promoted to legatus!

[Potocello]

wooo great news. just posted a request for service in the Senate thread hope it gets accepted :)

[Il_Duce]

So we aren't using any mini-mods or anything are we? Just straight up 1.1? Will the official fixes minimod affect anything? I haven't downloaded it yet but I'm just wondering.

no it shouldn't, the Romani script is so in depth im purely going with that and my own console changes when necessary.

Plus we dont really need to...anything like Force Diplomacy will be handled by Navarro as he controls all the agents

[everyone]

how about in the future, when we get someone else to become consul of finance, then the person would need to end the turn/move diplomats and such; maybe by then, navarro would send a copy of his BtSH mod to those people

[SwissBarbar]

What about the 1.1 mod for the Bruttian Soldiers, i forgot how it's named. ?

[/Bean\]

Konny's one? We discussed that, but it affected the game script and stuff, so it complicates things. Anyway, Everyone FD is easy to implicate later so any consul of finance can download it when they need it.

[everyone]

I was also referring to navarro's "roman script", or something like that, which probably spawns generals.

Hey Everyone, how did Cato get hit by an arrow? I'm gonna have some fun implementing that.

[everyone]

well, as you can see from the battle report, PRefect Cato was treated for an arrow wound; and what I didn't mention in my battle report was that a unit of hastati (which I RP'ed as under Cato's control) was reduced to 2 men (one officer + one of the soldier), then when I moved the main infantry force towards town square, the small unit of toxotai there shot at the infantry and the arrows took out the hastati unit. after the battle, the unit replenished (healed) to around 40 men; so I took it as those 40 men fell from missile fire.

edit: wow you're writing a lot of stories, gah you still have one more unfinished story!

edit 2: nice story/extension to the battle of Taras, though I RP'ed the part where you reformed the line after crushing the phalanx as you taking the initiative to reform it, because by then the Tarantine cavalry was dangerously close, so I had to rush my left wing to attack them

[/Bean\]

Yeah the storylines are all pretty loose so dont expect them to be exactly how the battle played out or anything, but I need to add those sorts of things as i need to develop Cotta's character if he is to become Legatus soon

[everyone]

ah, I see. well I'm eagerly waiting your next story, they're all rather interesting.

[/Bean\]

Why thank you very much. I can't get them out as often as I'd like though, I'm writing a book as it is and sometimes that takes priority. The good thing is I can just use what I write for this in that book, slightly modified of course.

[Il_Duce]

Yeah, I'm sure FD and other small add-ons are savegame compatible so as long as we're careful, no worries.

[navarro951]

actually all this stuff is a simple edu and edb file change. and RGBs will always be handled by the game master i will spawn those so since recruiting hasnt been changed the Consul's are still okay. Same for construction as well.

[Mjolnir]

Navarro, sweet updates in the Senatorial Library.

Great work man. I think I speak for everybody when I say we appreciate all your hard work.

[navarro951]

Thanks alot, its been a bit lighter on me tho being xmas vacation and jeez the help i got from Ibn and TinCow was worthy of standing ovation lol. I never had talked to a mod and been so quickly responded to in my life hehe. But thanks alot guys i hope you enjoy this no matter the outcome. (Those Scaaaary Carthaginians lol) And i hope you can pull in some more friends as well we always could use more members. Also, had another problem with gettin my RGBs but i fixed it so during winter all the new people who need one will get one and can be just in time for their first council.

edit: forgot to mention all you guys' great suggestions they help alot to bettering the game

[Il_Duce]

The Carthaginians? HAH... barbarians I say.

I think once you start getting used to the reports and what not, you'll be polished and will be able to do it pretty fast.

And I think for now we're actually at a pretty good size, considering we have hardly expanded. But once we go transalpine or cross into Greece or something we can start recruiting more people.

I haven't even had much to do but I'm having a great time.

well thats good to know...i feel im going to lose people becuz we will only have two legions by next year (ingame). And it may be boring at times to just watch. But as we expand and the money comes in, i hope to get a legion for every dux, legatus, and tribune to serve in or under.

[Mjolnir]

Yeah, right now I think we have a good number of players. This will get really fun when we have three or four wars going at once.

When is the next Senate session, it's coming up soon isn't it?
