Consul for Romanii

[Rogge]

I've had several generals become consuls over the years and I'm playing with the same setup as you are. So not to worry.

[Zaknafien]

right. but the system is abstract in the sense that we assume there are hundreds of other family members aside from the ones you see represented in the game. when your characters do not hold offices, one of these other sensators does. There are always 2 Consuls, etc, just it may not be one of your 'player characters'.

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

Year, we call them "Stealth Consuls" they wear black Togas.

Had a 7 star, 10 management and 10 influence general. He never got consul since he died of old age... There goes my only guy capable of triggering proper legions. The rest of Rome are either lazy or dull. Pretty annoying since I have like 40 family members and all adoptions are in their 60s. What kind of family goes out and adopts old men anyway? :P

Why dd you acept the adoption?
My rule is the must be under 25 and sharp/charismatic/vigorous. Then it's off to rome for a few years to up management and influence, then they get to garission a new city, and the best commanders eventually become generals and take new land.
