How come Roman generals got Triumphs for things like capturing a few minor cities on Syracuse or a victory against the Sardinians, but not for conquering Illyria and killing Pyrrhus? Tad unfair don't you think?

Actually, the granting of a triumph was something that was voted upon by the senate.

All I am saying, is that if you want a triumph, you'll need a put up a voting :)
(this is one of the occassions where it would pay off to have a tribunus plebis that is loyal to you under my new rules, as he can push things through without a congressional vote)

My IC reaction is thus accordingly. No congressional sessions is no vote. No vote is no triumph.

Which is why i chose to RP it being said by another tribunus plebis in office, rather than an envoy or whatever from my character, since this latter is loyal to his adoptive father.

But that isnt the argument you put forth. Yours was we dont have spoils. I can create some out of thin air if that would help

It is now ;-)

Yeah but I read this first...Rereading that I don't see how it can be an argumentative point...but meh

Drains on my resources...that's all they are

damn. nothing to do now. Cicero's not taking any stand in the Curia about the triumph thing yet; and since Navarro doesn't want me to end the turn and I'm reinstalling ETW; I guess I'll just write some stories.

darn, I almost forgot that S.C. Scapula (iskander II) and S.C. Sulla (cultured drizzt fan) are supposed to be Legati already; now that they have participated in two battles (actually they already participated in 3, the most recent being the assault on Tolosa)

[mini]

damn


bean, get me into some battles, dont want to be a tribune forever :p

[Iskander 3.1]

Is there an age minimum to lead a legion? If not there should be, I'll consider proposing one with my new Legatus powers. It'll be something like...Legati under 30 years of age may not lead a legion but the general may order them to command part of an army to mop up after conquering a territory. In times of crisis a dictator may appoint a young Legatus to temporarily command a legion (think Scipio Africanus). I'll work on the wording and introduce this next session.

2) LAY-OUT : anything that is NOT your characters speech, put it in italics. Anything that is SAID by your character, put it between parenthis and "in bold"
special remarks : when you are storytelling something that your character is thinking, you can use single parenthis (lucius cornelius was walking and thought to himself: '[flower] i need to get laid. Where's are my slaves!' He then walked against a cart unloading amphoras).

actually, the 'bold' part is commonly ignored; I just dump whatever my character says inside inverted commas, and use bold to make it a bold statement. but I find myself using Italics less though.
