Do my fellow senators agree?
I would suggest using leves as a garrison instead of accensi. Although they do cost a bit more, the unit is much larger and is still very cheap, and they will defend the city better in the event of a surprise attack.

I agree that we should upgrade the MIC of Roma. I would also suggest the we lower Roma's tax rate to "Low". Yes, this will create a defecit but it can be overcome by taxing the people of the other four cities into the ground, and Roma will bebefit from the rapidly increasing population and happiness. We can then set the tax rate back to Normal or High once Roma reaches the next level of settlement, and we will be pleasantly surprised that we have many more plebs to tax.
