Then by rights they go to the nearest provincial governor, as he wants the intel for border patrol.

Would that mean Cotta could never become Quaestor, seeing as thats a lower rank. He'd have to be deomoted to Dux, and since he was never Tribunus Plebis or Quaestor par se, he could never be a Praetor. Which is kinda annoying. Perhaps we can sort something out for the BtSH veterans, who would mostly lose out on this new rank system, and then they can start afresh like everyone else when they choose new characters.

Oh, and should we have provincial governer reports, like the consul reports, seeing as they control tax, building and intelligence of their area?

Like I said, those who have a high rank atm, will be able to go for governor/consul.

Seeing as you have a high rank atm, we could say you've already been praetor or eligiable for becoming one.

Elegiable please.

Otherwise I think the reforms are a good idea. Navarro's still away and busy, so we might have to wait for him to reply

Well, we have time to implement changes as big as the ranks :)

seeing as everybody should atleast voice an opinion first maybe.

I do like to get one with the laws in the curia though.

I'd have no problem with voting for these laws outside a senatorial session.

Actually they look very promising. Standardizing the legions is very according to my taste. And gettig battle points for participation in battle (though not as commander) makes very much sense too, the character did not just watch the struggle from outside but also made his experiences and learned from his commander. Of course he gets less battle points, for the commander has to think about strategy etc. even more than his officers, but as I see also you already thought of that @ everyone

Therefore, 1 legion of max 10-12 units, composed as I said, would give the historical feel.

I say 10, so we could merge legions if required.

These new rules are all nice looking; but we have a proper system for bringing them into play in our current game: They must be proposed as Single Charter Amendments by a player of the rank Dux or higher, and then voted on in a Congressional Session.

Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. And additionally, the Tribunus Pleibeus can only propose such edicts / charter amendments during the congressional session, not during normal game pla, per our active rules.

Personally I would prefer that it would stay centralized to either or both consuls as it is, but they could outsource control, raise spies for others or something like that. It's easier, and I don't really see the point making them completely anyone's. Besides, this would automatically give Cotta possession of all spies at the moment, which isn't quite right.

Edit: I also agree with giving PGs possibility to raise agents like they can with military units. That could be another solution.

**/Bean\** · 03-02-2009, 19:53

I would prefer provincial governers to have the right to recruit a certain number of their own agents. Perhaps an amount tied to their rank or number of provinces, and then their agents names in their SOT.
