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.

[Mjolnir]

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.

[Potocello]

happy voting guys. and Consul Asina (everyone..?) should i move my avatar to your units or will you just take me along to the north?

i will be making Defensive small units indeed. this will have to wait a lil while longer, but ill have them for the Consul of Legions.

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]

@^^^^ ya see this is why i originally didnt like the idea but i was thinking more 3 Rorarii 2 Levis, and the commanders as cav. But idk its gonna take time before i really decide on all that.

[navarro951]

UPDATE: I put a new piece needed for SOT posts...if all Tribunes could please post the Legion they are serving under. Thanks!

[navarro951]

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.

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.

That's a good question!

i edited my post with an idea ^^

[everyone]

happy voting guys. and Consul Asina (everyone..?) should i move my avatar to your units or will you just take me along to the north?

the legions are probably not ready to move off yet, I'll notify you when Legio I Apulia is about to move off; I can help you move your avatar towards the legion when it is needed to if you want.

edit: and a question, if there are two different generals in charge of two seperate legions, and one of them attacks a target, the other general and his legion would appear as reinforcements; in the end, who would get the Battle Points? would it be split or would equal amount of the supposed battle points (e.g. clear victory grants 3 points to both in this scenario) be granted?

[/Bean\]

Sorry TCP missed ya out. Legio I Apulia is full now. Any tribunes applying to the legions will have to fight over the two spots in the Legio II Latium or wait for the next legion

Oh and Il_Duce, everything that happens in the Senate is taken into account for everything, but an official application will be needed in the Campus Martius. Ta

I believe I meant to put 2nd AND 3rd in Command and was typing to fast...ill change that. And the reason its only 2 battles is because you can imagine the waiting list of Tribuni growing until we get more Legions. And even after that if the Legions dont keep growing then we have to worry about the growing list of Legatus' so i have to keep a moderate pace.

The only person who gets BPs is the avatar whose player literally, in real life, playing the real game,, because he makes the actual tactical decisions to win or lose the battle.

Say he loses and you weren't even the one in command, would you like to be stripped of BPs for a battle you (IN REAL LIFE) didn't even witness???

[SwissBarbar]

with "2 battles happen pretty quickly", I meant that this is a good thing ;-) you don't need to justify yourself

[SwissBarbar]

Am I blind or where's the Senate???

[/Bean\]

Its renamed the Curia-The curia is where the Senate met

would you mind moving him for me? that would just make it faster so i dont have to take the save.
