The Will of the Senate - out of character thread

[Dutch_guy]

Dutch_guy eventually there will be plenty of avatars to go round, so everyone should get one. Indeed, this may be an important incentive for the Senate demanding conquest - more provinces => more faction members! But early on, family members are scarce and so priority will go to the lower house, especially those wanting to stand for Consul immediately.

That sounds good, thanks for the information.

As for now, I'd like to pick option 3

If you pick option (3) you are confirming that you will be an active member of the Senate, voting on elections and motions etc.

Oh and by the way, do members of the upper house vote on who get's assigned consul, or is that just for the lower house, or for both - if there even is a vote on the matter.

... do members of the upper house vote on who get's assigned consul, or is that just for the lower house, or for both -

Both - the whole Senate votes on elections, on motions etc. Every member gets one vote + one vote for each point of influence their avatar has.

The only distinction between the upper and lower house is that lower house members are expected to be available to load up a savegame - e.g. to fight a battle. Upper house members need never load a savegame (or install the mod etc), although they can always step down into the lower house when they want to get involved in a more hands-on way.

Sure, I'll take a seat in the Senate too. Upper house, please, with nice views.

EDIT: Just had a thought. Members of the Senate need not be members of the family, so we can use the ones provided with vanilla RTW from all 4 roman factions too, as avatars, I mean. And only for the upper house, as they will not actually be in the game.

EDIT 2: ok, last thing. Could anybody please post a map of the world as it is in the mod at the top of the IC thread? It'd be handy to be able to see where cities and provinces are for the senators when making decisions...
