good, Cicero looks forward to debating with Scipio in the Curia, since both of them are the only Senators in the Curia who are not daydreaming. (which means both of us are the only people who might be online and ready to post now

)

Feel free to msg me on AIM. Holybandit267

What does everyone think of my latest proposal to use Italian Allies? A whole legion of them would be pretty cool, and I always thought they were more flashy then the romans in-game, and would make for some nice screenshots.

well there are a few problems; they're more expensive than normal troops, and we don't have the required MICs to recruit them in many cities (I think only Roma can recruit them, and we can't even have access to the whole range of Italic troops).

I think the only possibility of that is for a "Italic provincial legion", where some very influential provincial dictator persuades the CoL to recruit him a provincial army composed of Italic allies, then it could be role-played like the Italics are not satisfied with the senate or something, so they help that provincial dictator seize power.

Ha, a provincial dictator seizing power by using Italic Allies, now that would be sweet. Would be a recreation of the Social Wars.

I always remembered Rome having access to the Samnites, thats really all I was proposing in the senate.

**SwissBarbar** · 01-20-2009, 17:02

Weren't the samnites the ones, that espeacially often rebelled and took every chance to fight rome aside roman enemies? After the romans finally exterminated them, they surely had access to them, but I think the would revolt again and again if they had the chance

Yes, they were a rebellious bunch. Sulla had many of them killed after they surrendered their arms and equipment (All the while when the senate was in session btw). Read my post in the curia, it deals with the issue.

well i just finished the save....so now i need to hold it to see what were gonna do with legio I.

**Mjolnir** · 01-20-2009, 20:57

EDIT - nevermind.

**Potocello** · 01-20-2009, 21:15

okay so i think things would be better if i officially proposed an edict but since a Congressional Council isn't going on, how could i do this? Would we hold an emergency council where i would then be able to do this?

**The Celtic Viking** · 01-20-2009, 21:17

No, I don't think an emergency session should or will be held for this since this isn't an emergency. You'll have to wait until the next session starts.
