Okay im thinkin this:

The Dictator will now be what EB names it

Primvs Inter Pares

So hell be more of a "Figure head" or a "grandfather" some one the senators can look to.

and then the Imperii Heres Electus will be the person who is next in-line for the Primvs Pares. So therefore, no one is really Heir to the throne or dictator, they are just notable men. Also, the Heres can be changed depending on how the Curia sees fit to be the next Primvs Pares so it is never a definite thing.

What if there are no really exceptional people in the game at one time? Or nobody really recongizes the current Imperii Heres Electus?

[navarro951]

well thats why it would have to be a notable person, the Curia will elect one 3 years i say. Say a famed persons avatar who won a great battle or whatever. Im just saying that it is helpful to have a "leader" as someone will need to decide building and military recruitment.

If thats the only reason to have a leader, then maybe we can elect a person or people every so often to take care of the settlements. I beleive the romans had something like this but for the roads (Aediles?). The position will bring its own kind of respect, since its a job we have to have and the lazy people will appreciate it.

Or maybe one consul for buildings and one consul for armys?

[navarro951]

well we have one Consul of buildings and one for military (Consul of Finance, Consul of the Legions)

[navarro951]

o and Uh-oh...looking at the library, the Arverni may already own Patavium...we will risk war.

[Potocello]

I think it would be cool if we could have Consul elections where the candidates would give a speech and campaign and what not

[navarro951]

well we do have elections, all you have do is be a Dux or higher and announce that you will be running, and then go about "campaigning" as you wish.

[Potocello]

oh cool didn't notice that

[navarro951]

This should be in the OOC. And for the love of god, at least spell messenger correctly.

HAHAHAH that is funny...

[Mooks]

HAHAHAH that is funny...

Ill say the same thing here I told him in that thread (Which now I realize is a innapropriate thread, if there is some way to lock or delete it please do). I have a liberal approach to the spelling of Messanger, dont judge me ;)

[navarro951]

EDIT: nevermind

do you need me to move Servivs for you? busy day?

[Tiberius Claudius Marcellus]

Took the save - Tiberius moved to Legio III fort outside Capua

[Potocello]

okay, i posted the save in the other thread where i moved you, Tiberius, and my self(enroute) to the fort

[Potocello]

do you need me to move Servivs for you? busy day?

Haha yah, i had actually made my moves but they i thought i didn't save and i got flustered. All is well now and the new save is up with Tiberius' move.

[navarro951]

^^^sure thing

you should post that you're taking the save/done with the save in the dictator and consul's reports, but I suppose potocello already done that for you. anyway I don't think much has to be done as CoL now since we're not like recruiting multiple legions or in a civil war.
Speaking of civil war, I can't wait for houses to be formed, then we could see a bit more action

also, I noticed it's about time the historical Punic wars happened (around an in-game year from here)

[/Bean\]

By the time the next congressional session comes around, we'll have done the north; then we can turn south. But I'd still feel better if we had some 'excuse' for doing so. If we can make the Carthies break the alliance, I'll vote for war.

[SwissBarbar]

we don't need to proceed historically accurate concerning expansion, or do we? we could have a greek or Iberian war first, if we wanted

[/Bean\]

Without move_character those would be annoying wars

[Potocello]

personally, i don't think we should have to but some may want to stick to it for historical purposes.

We shouldnt unless we're dictating the moves of the other factions, and we're not...so we should proceed how we want to

is it possible to have civil wars in RTW?

that would be the most sensible

By civil wars, I think Navarro would most likely have the Provincial Dictator(s) that are rebelling have complete control over their armies outside their province(s), and then play the battle on custom, or multiplayer

[The Celtic Viking]

My sentiment exactly. Railroading is the perfect opposite of roleplaying, and it's no fun, nor is it even historically faithful either for that matter. We're not given the exact same situations that the Romans were in history, so doing what they did simply because that's what they did doesn't make much sense. It's better to play it in a way you think your avatar would act in the situation the game does throw you in. That's what roleplaying is all about, after all.

[Tiberius Claudius Marcellus]

Whoops, my bad! It was late last night. Sorry!

Anybody else see a great event in this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mamertines

[/Bean\]

Ok, but keep an eye out for Syracuse/Mamertine activity and/or Carthaginian navy presence around Messana

[The Celtic Viking]

Yeah, if Carthage takes Syrakousai and has a navy by Massana I say we can call an emergency session and put a vote on whether we should take the Mamertines under our protection or not. It shouldn't be forced on us though - and we shouldn't automatically decide to go to war because of it. That would be bad RP.

[/Bean\]

Lets say it could come at any time-always look out for it...as well as other things around the world, such as Greece-say if Thermon was attacked, or Dalminion, we can also have a choice there.

[navarro951]

no we dont we could have any war first.

not exactly, if were just proceeding south our legions would be in Sicilia in 3 turns.

Go to Rules and read the Civil War part.
