Roman Offices (Consul, Praetor, etc)

[mato1091]

i've downloaded this mod few days ago and it's great it is the one of the best mods i've played
i started my first campaign as romani trying to play with this guide https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...-(Redux-for-EB)

my problem is i almost havent got any consul or praetors to lead my armies (with guide above)
my question is: what are the conditions family members to become consul or praetor and etc
is here on forum any guide or preview to this roman offices or some manual how to get promotion to higher office
how can be former consul (consular) to be elected again?it is possible, because historically was it possible
thank for any help

Hm, dunno about the rest, but i was possible to be elected consul more then once. Gaius Marius was consul 7 times for instence. It was quite rare though.

Oh, and welcome to the org

Check here, this is the FAQ Usually the info is there.

However for praetor I think he needs to be at least 30 and must have high influence. Maybe also he has to be Ex-Aedile also.

For consul from memory:
1. At least 1 command star
2. Over 50 usually
3. High influence >5. The more influence the better chance.
4. He has to be Ex-Praetor.

another question:
to become promoted character must be in rome or in other cities or with army in field?
or it not depended where character is?he only must have high influence and age?

[anubis88]

now i have lot of FM and i agree that consul must have at least comand star but i had 41 years old consul and must be expraetor
and praetor i thnik he must be minimal 40 years old

As far as I know, age is not a factor. To be consul in normal EB the character must have greater than 4 influence (maybe it means 5 or more???) and must have greater than 0 command (i guess it means 1 or more). Thats all that is required I think. There is obviously some sort of randomness involved and i guess only one character can have it at a time (maybe 2 as in history??). But I don't think age is a requirement at all.
