whoa. who said anything about scripted armies? that band of libyan spearmen just appeared next to massilia during Cicero's early term as CoL; and it randomly appeared there (looking at previous saves I concluded that it was randomly moving in southeastern Iberia doing nothing in particular). so I decided an IC reason that was carthage preparing an attack. so you have the event.

and sorry about the confusion over the legion upgrades. here are what which legio II and III are supposed to contain:
Legio III:
-the triarii you found are yours
-the 3 accensi and 1 leves you found in Epidamnos are for the garrison
-1 equites and another infantry unit (I forgot which one but it was a hastati/principes) are in Roma for retraining
-I forgot whether have I disbanded the 1 hastati and accensi I am supposed to because I just woke up and I'm still muddled.
-but the 1 rorarii and 1 leves that is supposed to be there is already there.
-so all units meant to be there are there. just that I might not have disbanded the hastati and accensi yet.
-if you wait another turn, Cicero could arrange for the ships to pick you up and sail you back to Italy. but that depends on your SOT, potocello

Legio II:
-your triarii are on the way
-as provincial gobernor, you can move any units that start their turn in your province provided they are not controlled by another player; so you can control those 4 garrison units mentioned above
-haven't got a chance to retrain your units.
-but I merged your units and disbanded 1 hastati and accensi and replaced them with 1 principes and leves. and as said above, triarii are on their way.

Yeah, in America we do not have compulsory service or military conscription. It is one of the many benefits and freedoms we enjoy because we have volunteers who love our Democratic Republic and the ideals for which it stands and are willing to sacrifice their own lives to protect it.

Now, as a former service member myself I can say that I certainly won't agree with many of the decisions made by individuals in the government; but as a whole (with the exception of everything our Lord and Savior the Great Obamanation is doing right now ) I agree with the path that our government leads us. Having given up many freedoms to join the military, I now understand them much more and relish them passionately as a private citizen. I would say that I am even more willing to give my life to protect this country now that I'm out and have a family.

With the way things are going now......who knows how much more the American people are willing to take before they decide to kick the bums out.



EDIT: Thank you for your pending service, Navarro. It is men like you who keep our country strong.

[navarro951]

A very great piece ^^^. I thank you very much and look forward to this serving this country as well as my liberal state . And I feel the SAME way you do about this obamatized bandwagon that threatens our very way of life in some ways. *cough socialism cough*

[Potocello]

Army strong...

@everyone: if you could take the Legio III back to Italy with the ships that would be great, i'll put it in my SOT too.

EDIT: SOCAILISM? c'mon guys it's in times like these when we need government to step in and fix the issue. take the financial crisis for example, it was us who messed it up not big government. Obama kicks ass..

ok i'm saying no more on politics, it will mess up this game

[Iskander 3.1]

Kick the bums out?

[Iskander 3.1]

Just remember who got us into this Charlie Foxtrot in the first place...

That's cool. On the other hand, a country with only 7.5 million inhabitants like mine cannot afford to wait for the ones to join the army for free, so anyone has to go *GGG*

[SwissBarbar]

no, when I took the save, the infantry units were already in Epidamnos, somehow; unless you're referring to a few units (rorarii and something I forget) with Cotta somewhere in Epirus.
darn. there must be some way to keep track of units from individual legions other than writing it on post-it notes.

well, in my save, the units are still with me... when i start the save of potocello these units are in HIS army, and I have none anymore



Sempronivs Longvs, legiones redde !!!!!!!!

[everyone]

since everything seemed to be settled while I was conquering the rest of Germany as Prussia in ETW; it seems my TinCowish admnistration skills are not needed here.
but I suppose somebody still needs to move troops across the adriatic.
so I'll add this line into my SOT that only applies for this turn (since I assume the fleets are under CoL's control):

the commanders of Legio II and III, or anyone they give authority to, who has their units mixed up may use the merchant fleet somewhere between Italy and Epirus to transport units across.
the above sentence only applies for the turn of Autumn, 258

[navarro951]

"Where is the proof?", shouted a senator. "Until I see Cavis Avrelivs walk through the streets of Roma bearing Pyrrhos's head I will not believe it!"

Haha...must we make glory an argument as well

[navarro951]

hmmm, im not sure if it has anything to do with it, but I just tried to open rome since my installation of ETW and for some reason it is now missing files. ARRRGH. I will have to reinstall. I have a solution to the problem as I know we need new RBGs....so

ALL PLAYERS DOWNLOAD THIS AND PUT THEM IN YOUR EB/DATA files. They will allow for RBG recruitment....http://files.filefront.com/BtSH+Mods.../fileinfo.html

Only Consuls of the Legions, myself, or anyone i specify may recruit them. Also, for some reason I cannot get the unit to cost 1 denarri. So when you recruit it, just add the EXACT amount of money for the unit (1783 denarii) and then recruit it so we neither gain nor lose money. The upkeep for them is already set to 0. Thank you and enjoy.

ah good for him I will be in boot camp myself this summer

In which branch did you enlist?

[navarro951]

National Guard, that way I can stay in California and help bust dopers on the Mexican border.
