Hi, I have been looking over the PBeM threads in the throne rome and noticied that there do not seem to be any for E.B. I was just wondering if anybody else would be interested in doing it. I am thinking of doing one for either K.H, Epiros or Quarthadstim, as these are the three most democratic factions in the game with the except for the Romans, whom I don't really like.

As regards house rules and parliments ect. I am entirley open to sugestions but I had thought of something along the lines of:

All faction members participate in yearly elections to nominate characters to certain posts.
Governors of cities would make the decisions for building and recruitment.
No building or recruiting in cities without governors and no auto manage.
All captain and non human controled battles to be atuo resolved.
Debates for military policy to be held twice yearly.

Please note that these are merley ideas an sugestions and that all are welcome to put forth their own ideas.

Interesting idea, but Epiros wasn't a democracy, was it?
Pyrrhos was King of Epiros, not president IIRC.

Yes, I'm afraid that Pyrrhus was very much a king in the traditional Epirote and Macedonian style.

Well anyway I have thought some more on the matter and decided to run one as the Qarthadastai is anybody is intersted please post here or P.M. me. I am looking to get four or five peolple to start as that is the number of characters present at the games start.

A few other things I forgot to say yesterday, I would run the game on BI.exe using a modified edu for shield wall and schiltrom, but other than that it is pretty much E.B. "vanilla" except for a few things like ptolemaoi kelrouchoi agemata that I have changed. Also I have altered the edb to limit, heavy libyans, elite african infantry and iberian asault infantry to post marian times.

I don't have my Epirus book here at hand, but I do believe the epeirote government (some sort of assembly or council of the tribes) voted to vest power in Pyrrhus and approved his son as successor when he died. It certainly wasn't strictly speaking a democracy, but it was closer to one than any of the other Hellenistic monarchies (maks, ptolies, seleuks, baktria). I don't have anything to check this with for the time being, but someone else might be able to provide more details.
