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]

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.

[navarro951]

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

[Mjolnir]

EDIT - nevermind.

[Potocello]

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]

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.

[Potocello]

okay, thanks for the info =)

[Mjolnir]

Moved Qvintvs towards Legio I.

TCV - note:

@navarro - Unfortunately I must withdraw from playing Quintus. Sry if this comes in a wrong time!

[The Celtic Viking]

Blagh! Thanks Mjolnir, I didn't know that. Ah well, need to find me a new tribune then.

[Potocello]

woops Swissbarber, meant to call you Mamercvs not Memercvs

[/Bean\]

Has he had to leave the game?

@TCV-Sorry, my bad. I completely forgot to move you...my fault. I'll let you move yourself to Massilia then?

[SwissBarbar]

dear Potocello, my name here is SwissBarbar

[Potocello]

AH no not again barbar as in barbarian right?

Sorry Swiss

[/Bean\]

Couldnt you just change your name to Swiss Barbarian?

[Potocello]

Couldnt you just change your name to Swiss Barbarian?

haha that might be more helpful

[SwissBarbar]

right ^^ don't mind, everyone does spell it wrong *G*

can one change his nickname? i thought about it *G*

[SwissBarbar]

Your rhetoric is shameful, and far below that which should be the standard in these halls. Juno's cunt! Have you no honour? Show some respect!"

simply funny

[Potocello]

haha yah i had a chuckle about the Juno's cunt comment

[The Celtic Viking]

What can I say? It's a part of my character's traits to disrespect the gods, and I thought that was a good time to let that enter my play here. I'm glad you agree.

[/Bean\]

You can change your name in the USER CP as long as its not already taken. I can't change my name back to Bean because it's been taken since I changed it first, so I'l stay as Baen

[navarro951]

haha Baen..Bean i see now! Ill be changing mine soon as I think of a better one.

[/Bean\]

Yeah, my nicknames Bean, but I had a phase where I thought swapping the vowels would look cool...I'm past that now...but I cant change back which is a shame

[Potocello]

hey Bean where is Legatus Cotta in this whole debate? =)

[/Bean\]

Many miles to the North. I like to use the fact that influence in the Senate can drop while away on campaign. Roleplay should be used in as many aspects of the game as possible. It just doesnt seem right that Cotta would be fighting in the North and sfind time to have converstaions in the Curia. I'll only really partake with a few letters, or if theres a very important decision to be made where an aide can inform me.

Oh and Tiberius, about the comments like 'in leage with Cotta', stuff like that, I don't take it personallt, but realistly you can't go around using sentences like that, describing me openly as if i'm a criminal. By all means let your character think that, but you would be chucked out for actually saying that in the Curia. Just a tip.

[Mooks]

Hopefully awaiting until we release a official proposal. Dictating exactly what we want to accomplish.

On that note, please read your msgs potocello!

On a completely different note altogether, why does navarro think Sicily will be easier then Greece? Syracuse is a tough city itself. And theres the mammertimes, which has a full garrison and the carthaginians themselves, which may land a stack (never know, they could).

I was thinking you were doing that. I like it. Makes you need to have representatives in Rome to back you up.
