The Will of the Senate - out of character thread III

[flyd]

If anyone would like to help me out, please compile updated battle statistics for all lower house generals (including dead ones). See Publius Laevinus (first Bio) for an example.

I'll get on that.

@ Generalhankerchief,

Does he?!?! Blimey and I thought my Avatar was a bit weak….sorry. IF the consul plans to have my Avatar as 2nd in command of that Consular army then he can transfer the Ancillary (can’t remember what I’ve got applicable though).

Manius needs practical battle experience – fighting rather than leading at this time so the Consul can feel free seeing as my Internet at home is still down as of this morning.

I’ll post here immediately that I have a connection at home as the Mod is fully installed and working perfectly.

I’ve run through a year and a half from the Summer 255 save with no problems and even found that my IC comments (those made before I had the save file) have proved completely accurate!

…just need to practice against Carthage now.

(you can tell I’m chafing at the bit to tell someone what’s happened!....must resist….must……make……..others…….worry!)

Transferring the Priest of Jupiter (+1 command) should make Marcellus the Leader. Giving him the Priest of Mars (+2 command on attack) would not hurt either. By the rules, we are allowed to "farm" priests and I think trying to make sure all inexperienced Lower House generals have these two ancillaries would be a smart move. We have a fair number of unassigned avatars who can be used to farm priests and transport them to the front. I would recommend transferring the two priests and then replacing them with farmed ones asap.

PS: Good job updating the kill ratios, FLYdude. And TinCow with the library.

[TinCow]

Excellent work, many thanks FLYdude. All that is left to update are the wives, children, and family tree composite. That will be done after I get home tonight.

One thing I did notice... two of our Legion banners are currently not with Legions. Legio IV banner is with the Field Army II and Legio II banner is with Marcellus Aemilius, who is alone in the field. Obviously, Legio II banner is being transferred to a the army near Rhegium, but please don't forget about the Legio IV banner, since we already have many armies with no names at all. Also, we've been referring to the army landing at Lepcis Magna as a Consular Army. People should be aware that it isn't even remotely close to a Consular Army. It is 12 units strong, including 2 Senators. It's really an oversized Legion.

[Lucjan]

1 senator. Only Servius was crazy enough to take on that expedition! And you'd all better know it!

Not even Manius wanted to come....

[Braden]

I noticed the lack of troops in that “supposed” Consular army and I’ve just posted a long triad against the invasion taking place now.

Seriously guys, if we land a Consular army near Carthago 2/3 seasons after that Legion lands we are seriously NOT going to win.

We’ll be handed our arses in a sling…*Edit: To melodramatic*……(BTW: I haven’t played through a Carthage invasion yet; been play testing against the Selucids thus far only but I’ve seen what our spy can see in the new .sav file).

Question: Will retreating/defeated armies withdraw onto ships?

An Undertaking – I’ll announce it here and now……I will run for Consul after the next two Consular reigns have ended as my Avatar will be 29 years of age and (even though still a little young for the position) he’ll have his 10 years of service and will look a better proposition for the Senators to vote for (assuming he survives).

Assuming my Avatar is landed in Africa with the Consular army he’s with now, I will start lobbying the Consul for a Legion command as soon as I’ve got a direct internet connection at home. (after a good few battles using the available .sav files, I’m confident enough to say I can take an active part in this PBM now)

This may mean moving out of Africa but that’s fine as he has IC reasons to want to be on the Eastern front.

BTW – what happened to Molon the Selucid general?? I can’t find him in the Bosperous region in the new save, did I skip a beat, has he been caught and killed?
