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!

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.

It's set on H/M actually, but yeah we should have new spots opening up all the time once things really get rolling.

No, the point is that you roleplay that we arent constantly making them, but its a lot better if we can just give legions to Legatus' when they rank up, rather than waiting to make them each time. We have a lot of tribunes and will only get more as more people join, theres gonna be a huge waiting list for legions if we're not careful

I was talking about the battle difficulty, I shouldve clarified that.

Maybe instead of full fledged legions you should try smaller armies. Its not like you really need that many troops for medium difficulty...

I already asked Navarro that a while back, but then we did only have one legion then, so I suppose he might be open the idea afresh.

I don't know why we didn't chose hard...

And smaller armies with republican armies would be dumb. 1 hastati, 1 principe, 1 triarii, 1 cav? No thanks.

[navarro951]

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.

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.

That's a good question!
