I did not intend the first consul to PM with players over ancilliary trades. I suggest that during the senate sessions between first consuls, when the avatar gallery is updated, the senators themselves may negotiate deals among themselves. They could then notify the future first consul of any exchanges they would like him to make.
As cavalry is beyond our budget at the moment, most of the tribunes are used for such a purpose. Still, we could use the upper house avatars (like Tricky_lady) and unassigned ones to transport priests to the front lines from the cities. Problematically, I do not see many lower house avatars volunteering for governorship duties, so we will have to breed them off the students. This will require more building of temples in Rome and Syracuse. Still, this is workable. I can't say I'm enthusiastic, but I will go along with the present rules if there are no other 'dissenters'.
Another problem is that I need to assign cavalry to the 'transport' avatars to keep them moving fast while increasing their active military service. This is rather expensive.
