@ bean: thank you ^^ i had a nice and quite evening and no drunken mates *G*

[YouHaveRecieved]

Hope I didn't come off as insulting in that post SB. Just didn't understand what you meant.

....*holds head and sighs*

Never play a drinking game called flip cup....ouch in the head*

Happy new years guys...I think ill give the senate another day as last night i hope you guys could enjoy away from the comp....I know i did.

[/Bean\]

We still have an entire day of the original time. However, there seems to be a lack of other edicts in the Senate. I keep trying to steer the conversation towards new edicts, but i dont think people are taking the hint

Also realize there's only 3 or 4 people that can even propose edicts.

hey guys, i went ahead and changed the Battle Points Column in the library to Battles Served for the unaligned tribuni. Tribunus' will never really be commanding so they wont get BPs. But it will allow me to keep track of who is eligible for Legatus.

To speed up our military prowess and players involvment, Navarro, maybe we can have new legions being slowly but contantly created, and then when a tribune is promoted, we can simply give him command of that legion. The continuous recruiting can almost be off the books for roleplay reasons if that makes sense, so that we dont look like we are thinking ahead like this.

Ooh, and its almost 20:00 pacific!

FYI navarro I'm Tribunus Nero, not Il_Duce (check the voting thread) ;)

The campaign is set on medium difficulty though. I would imagine with constant military campaigns from members that europe will be eaten up pretty quickly.

save is open!

Update on this as well: It is not entirely impossible however for Tribunes to command a battle. If their superior officer is not present (In real life) and tells them its okay to take the save and do the battle, then he may. If he is victorious, the tribune will automatically be promoted.

[SwissBarbar]

Regarding the battle difficulty: Medium is the most realistic one, playing on VH f.e. only makes foreign peasants slaughter your elite forces. Thats no fun, its just unrealistic. We just mustn't pump one army after another.

Were the Tribunii not meant to join an Army of a Legatus and fight 2 battles, so he gets Legatus himself? 2 battles happen pretty quickly.

And another question:

(1) The Tribunus is third in command of a legion. He is young and therefore must learn how to properly lead and is required to serve in a Legion under a Legatus for at least 2 battles to be promoted or serve as an aid to a Provincial Dictator for 2 years.
(2) May not lead an army of any sort and has only a vote, but no proposing power of edicts.

If the Legatus (next higher rank) is the Commander, so who's the second in command? If this means, that 1 Legatus and 2 Tribuni (second and third in command) fight in an army, so we can "create" 2 Legati per army.

This is the Senate, we only roleplay there ;-) if you are "my" political adversary, you may insult me if you wish to

but in this case, I do not feel insulted, i realise, that it was not clear who I spoke to

[Il_Duce]

I don't think people need to post OOC disclaimers that they're not actually mad at the other person. This is all IC role-playing and we understand that. In fact, it says this in the Rules and FAQ. This RP wouldn't be as fun if everybody agreed with everything everybody else says.

Also, I'm finally a member after 11 months. Hooray!

[SwissBarbar]

Congratulations

[YouHaveRecieved]

Wow. Really? I just asked TosaInu nicely and she said OK. Also, no offence Navarro but I think in terms of expansion we should try and not be totally historical. I mean if the Senate agrees to expand there fine but if you want to play this RP like that then I really don't think there is a point. Saying that though I am all for historical accuracy in ever other sense such as building, armies and recruitment. Just my two pennies.

[SwissBarbar]

we don't need to expand historically accurate, we write our own history. But we need to RP our history realisticly, that means not starting war with everyone etc.

[YouHaveRecieved]

Yes but Navarro said he didn't want to start war with Gaul and Carthage because historically the Romans didn't untill later on.

[navarro951]

But thats because to do it at that stage of their development would most likely have wiped them off them map...no ones going to commit their new found empire to suicide. We have two legions; we can't accurately declare war on Carthage or the Gauls, even if in the game they don't yet have huge armies.

This is more the angle i was going for. Im not saying we have to actually do it only in 264 (Carthage Wise), i'm simply saying with our military it is not even realistically or historically sound.

we don't need to expand historically accurate, we write our own history. But we need to RP our history realisticly, that means not starting war with everyone etc.

here, another example of what i mean. were talking so much of war here and war there and it just isn't practical lets be honest.

[Mjolnir]

Happy New Years everyone.

I agree.

ya thats why i may end up ending this one at 1030 Pacific GMT now. I want to get more tribunes out there to serve out their two battles and become legatus.

Yeah, I think we're all edicted out, unless someone wants to introduce an edict on which type of government to be put in Bononia and Segesta.
