    The hearing is heating up already! This is interesting, I will wait until one of the lower house members sends me a synopsis of the battle gleened from the save file before attempting to RP any first hand (or even third hand) accounts for the hearing.

    Shaping up well though.

    OH! and Can someone please officially volunteer to take the role of Marius the Mad?

    Woowee, it sure is! What a great way to play out a missing players auto-resolve defeat eh? Funny the way things work out. Shaping up to be intense indeed. The drama, the honor, the family matters. Great stuff!

    I'll play manius and servius for the hearing. It'll be interesting, manius only willing to speak to his son on the issue being the nut that he is, regardless of everybody else being present in the room.

    If that's ok by everybody else.

    Although I do like the idea, it feels kind of sketchy, considering how our characters are now at odds. Maybe that can be taken advantage of unfairly . But if everyone else is for it, it should be pretty interesting.

    Army composition will get a lot simpler after Marius. This is probably the only aspect of the game that will actually get easier to manage as time goes on.

    BTW, TinCow, I love "Legio IV Gallica Firma", let's go with that unless anyone screams at us.

    Legio IV has spent a lot of time staring at the Aegean waiting for the Ptolomites to attack, so I was thinking of something like vigilant or steadfast, so firma will do.

    And, FWIW I've just spent the last hour (whilst little Suribachi has his afternoon nap) compiling notes on all the things that need to be done in my remaining 4 seasons, nearly a full page of A4. Thats an hour that could have been spent playing the game. Of course, I appreciate that this is all part of playing the game, but the governorships thing would be another added layer of complexity to this. For me it wouldn't be fun, but as I won't be running for Consul again anytime soon, I can be safely ignored
    "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."

    Senator Augustus Verginius
