Firstly, grandfather, the appropriate buildings are already well under construction for the extension of citizenry to these cities.
Secondly, save the sacrifices for the next consul, and pray that he does a better job of keeping this senate more united than I have.

It is not something I am keen to admit, but I am judgemental, and rarely change my opinions. That, coupled with the fact that my passion lies with the greatter good of Rome, and not necessarily with all of the individual desires of the senate...it is easy to see where our opinions collide.

So far, the only passed motion that was voted on before the midterm that has not in some way yet been acted upon is the invasion of Rhodes, which was stalled due to the plague being reported on the island. But the situation there has subsided and it has once again become a viable target.
