The senate can also vote on what areas to attack (through edicts).

Historically when Julius Caesar was in Gaul, he had proconsul powers. Basically free reign for 5 years. The boni- conservative faction - tried to get his powers out and have him exiled in court (Courts were rigged 95% of the time). Caesar had the backing of Pompey and Crassus, both important senators(and they had their own faction in the senate, with lesser senators voting on their side) and they extended his proconsul powers for another 5 years after his first one expired. When that one expired he couldnt get it renewd, and he had to march on Rome. It is much more complicated then this but thats the gist.
well we do vote on where to attack...we just did actually. I, or whoever is playing the dictator Imperii whatever you wish to call him, just gives the official order. If you read the rules it discusses how all settlements of an enemy nation are viable to attack without order. The dictator's orders are simply guidance for the good of our game, or Rome. Basically, just making sure we dont get stretched thin or ahead of ourselves. Also, it will be impossible to "march on Rome" until you are a P.Dictator and have a house of your own as you will need an army of your own. All the legions belong to Rome, basically to the gamemaster, once you declare a civil war your cut off from everything but your House, Provinces owned, and provincial legion. So you will have to be damn sure you can face the might of Rome, the dictator, or an opposing house/family's army.

^^^That is something i cant wait for. To see all the Quaestors and their house/families vying for power against one and other.
