Of course he can just not care and march on Rome (Exactly what julius Caesar did more or less) but I dont see that happening anytime soon. The senate can also vote on what areas to attack (through edicts).

    Historically when Julius Caesar was in Gaul, he had proconsul powers. Basically free reign for 5 years. The boni- conservative faction - tried to get his powers out and have him exiled in court (Courts were rigged 95% of the time). Caesar had the backing of Pompey and Crassus, both important senators(and they had their own faction in the senate, with lesser senators voting on their side) and they extended his proconsul powers for another 5 years after his first one expired. When that one expired he couldnt get it renewd, and he had to march on Rome. It is much more complicated then this but thats the gist.
    well we do vote on where to attack...we just did actually. I, or whoever is playing the dictator Imperii whatever you wish to call him, just gives the official order. If you read the rules it discusses how all settlements of an enemy nation are viable to attack without order. The dictator's orders are simply guidance for the good of our game, or Rome. Basically, just making sure we dont get stretched thin or ahead of ourselves. Also, it will be impossible to "march on Rome" until you are a P.Dictator and have a house of your own as you will need an army of your own. All the legions belong to Rome, basically to the gamemaster, once you declare a civil war your cut off from everything but your House, Provinces owned, and provincial legion. So you will have to be damn sure you can face the might of Rome, the dictator, or an opposing house/family's army.

    ^^^That is something i cant wait for. To see all the Quaestors and their house/families vying for power against one and other.

    that would be sweet. I think once the game progresses and more people gain provinicial dictatorships, this will be a distinct possibility. That would be funny if like Baen or everyone was the next Caesar :P

    Makes sense. I like this idea, just I dont like it right now where your saying "I want to go north, we are going north. No discussion".

    Please keep in mind im not trying to undermine you or insult you in any way. I respect what your doing here, and you organized the whole thing so im happy about that.

    Ya thanks, I have to always give due credit to Ibn and TinCow, best PBM-writer and Mod no doubt. Without WoTB this game would of taken forever to get off the ground.

    And as far as what is said in the Curia, I always love a good debate, friendship, enemy, whatever because I keep everything in the OOC room strictly fun and friendship. And i will try to be more open to commanders plans that are reasonably laid out. Such as this one about Sparte...gotta hav my reasons for being against it.

    yah i'm seeing your reasoning against attacking Sparte, maybe we could adjust it to Epeiros but i am leaving my character with disdain for fighting in the north.

    Another objective to this proposal is to spark some heated debate. I'm hoping some will criticize my character's inexperience and what not. I hope this also creates some divisions in the Senate.
    We'll see what happens

    Well we might want to limit debate and such until a time where there are enough legions, funds, and houses to actually be able to pursue more than just one or two objectives at a time.

    @Navarro - it seems to me that if someone is in command of a legion and declares a civil war that unless it's an imperial legion that the legion should then be under that person's command in the civil war. This makes sense to me and would also add an interesting element in deciding who getting to command legions. I can imagining houses fighting over getting their own people assigned commands to put themselves in better positions and when civil war breaks out the sides courting neutral commanders to try to get their legions to side with them. Also, I think it's a little more historical this way.

    This argument is going to be fun, although I do wish y'all would have waited for the next council to bring this up.

    Also, anything I say in the Curia is RP and so please don't take it personally.
