my thoughts exactly

**navarro951** · 02-26-2009, 06:59

so i think we should give a quick discussion to this event.

I think if Legio I is retrained, put under my (or rather Blasio's) command and moved by cheat to Massalia's province then TCV could move Legio IV and him self to Latium where they could finish the rebels, retrain and go to take sicilia do i have this right?

Why are you swapping commands?

Wait, never mind, I read this before the Curia

darn it. what a busy day; didn't have time to take the save just now in the afternoon and can't now because I have to wake up in less than 6 hours from now.

Fortunately, the next week and the week after that would be spent slacking (mostly), so I won't have another busy day until sometime in May (probably).
and I'll probably be back home on time tomorrow to take the save on the current turn.

Meh

I've looked at the rights of a tribune plebis. Should be changed imo.
Tribunes of the plebs were, especially in the later republic (200bc) onwards the lawmakers of the republic. The senate held the purse strings, but the tribunes made the laws. Of course the senate could advise which laws they would like to see, but they did not make the laws. As tribunes of the plebs was an office that granted acces to the senate, AND that it was THE office for any plebeian to make enough name for himself to be remembered at any praetor election, this was a rather important office for plebeians.

Therefore it should become more powerful. More law proposing should be made possible, aswel as more vetoing.
Especially in the last 2 centuries BC, where Tribunes of the plebs were quite powerful when in office (reason why anyone with objectives always bought himself a pair or two tribunes :))

Should therefor become more powerful.
Maybe we should make it a re-electable office for all players below a certain rank (praetor or so), so we can have 2 or 3 lower ranked players to get themselves elected, AND keep eachother in check with the veto. That way factions in the senate can duel it out with their loyal tirbunes when it comes to lawmaking, as it was in real rome :)

May sound stupid that I bring this up now that i am tribune of the plebs, but i haven't taken a look at the FAQ that good before.

Also, any law that is passed, should get a roman name as was the habit back then, containing the last name of the one proposing it (gens part of the name - 2nd part)
