I hope the commander who "wins" that way gets no battle points as they really didn't fight a battle, did they?

I think they should get battle points for auto-winning because they are still taking the risk of their avatar dying. Perhaps subtract 1 from the battle points they would have gotten from actually fighting the battle.

Congratulations, Legatus ;-)

Cheers. Navarro, where do I stick my battle points?

There's no threat of losing your character. If the avatar dies, just reload the save and auto-resolve the battle again. It's not really cheating when you're cheating to begin with

I suppose you could RP something like in "Ben Hur" when the new governor of Jerusalem is thrown from his horse and killed when slate roof tiles fall to the ground and startle the horse; but who wants to die like that?

No battle points I say!

Edit: GJ Beaney!

We're only autowinning it because it's not meant to be a battle. It's meant to be a diplomatic mission, but because of the limits of the engine conquering the city is the only way of getting an alliance with a free city.

hmmm what to do about Carthage? they are getting a little too close for comfort and their alliance with the Epeiros is disconscerting.

Bring it up in the Curia, I'd be happy to express my opinions.

EDIT: I'm going to have to compose future letters more carefully, haha

Yes, yes you will. My goal is to destroy you!

Why? I don't know. I am probably jealous that you started the game before me and so therefore have a higher position in the legions and are one of the few characters to actually get to do anything.

Oh well, just hope we never get the ability to RP assassinations, because I'd take you out!
