If Tricky Lady keeps her current avatar then I'll be the second spy (Quintus Classicianus).

I'll keep the Titus Vatinus character. If really necessary I can play a battle, but pls don't rely too heavily on me to win difficult battles

This EDU thingy, can you just patch it onto your current game and carry on? Don't have to reinstall from scratch or owt?
"I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."

Yes, I believe you can just add it on. I guess it is mainly accessed during battles.Originally Posted by Mount Suribachi
By contrast I understand some other files - e.g. the descr_strat file we altered to give Quintus et al their starting Roman leadership traits - are only accessed at the beginning of a campaign, so we are stuck with them.

As a side note to anyone taking a Spy over a Diplomat... Spies don't accumulate influence, but Diplomats do.
Re: The Will of the Senate - out of character thread
Perhaps stealthiness could be our version of influence?

Re: The Will of the Senate - out of character thread
I'm wondering about giving spies (& assassins) bonus votes equal to (subterfuge/5), rounded up, compared to (influence/2) for others. I can see how subterfuge might give you some political leverage, but I would not want an spy, however good, to rival an ex-Consul who is a conqueror etc. I suspect Upper House senators won't accumulate that much influence anyway, so it should balance out.
On another matter, I don't use spies much, but I know it can be a risky business if they are used aggressively (the kind of thing that gives subterfuge). Maybe people controlling spies should give some instruction to the First Consul (via PM) about how aggressive or not they want their spies to be.
