    I disagree that it isn't fun eliminating factions from the game. I'm quite the genocidal maniac when I play my campaigns. I eliminate them one by one and raze each city I capture. I just love the slaughter and the sleepless nights :-P

    I agree that Epiros should be completely eliminated. We will have taken Epidamnos and practically be sitting on Ambrakia, their capitol. If we eliminate them we can either have alliances with the Maks and the KH - or they will force us to take over all of mainland greece (which isn't bad and will put us in a strong position to fight off the Getai / Sauromatae if they want to fight us.

    Additionally by taking all of Greece, we can leave the KH/Maks as a buffer between us and AS by leaving them stranded on Crete and the island just west of Turkey. Since we're there, we might as well take the territory just to save us time /give us the income / troops we will need to eventually fight Carthage and the Ptolies.

    Let's completely forget about Iberia - that should be the last area we even think about taking until both Carthage and Gaul are Romanized. From that vantage point we can use a pincer movement with about 4 legions and make very short work of Spain. Then those legions can be split up to compliment local troops for garrison duties.


    EDIT: Voting ends tonight, right? Pot - you taking the save to get this battle over with? *wink*wink*hint*hint*nudge*nudge*say no more, sir! Say no more!*

It will give us money for two new legions and fund attacks on Carthage and Greece if necessary. I got Pyhrrus east of Dalminion with Blasio's Consular Legio and had a freaking glorious battle and cut him down.
    gah! that save game I have been playing by myself throughout the weekend is in a rather different scnario; we got Illyria, then Makedon for some reason dislikes Legio III hanging around in Epidamnos so one turn legio III was somehow besieged and we're at war (that's all in the savegame I continued playing on. anyway in that same savegame, we're earning 6k per turn; not 15k because I have a feeling that another legion might be raised since carthage is going to/might be on our to-do list next, and also not forgetting the Consular army that I have to recruit (it would take at least 1 year if we don't build anything for that whole year, because equites Romani are very expensive, considering that it takes around 1/4 of our current total treasury to recruit one); also, I recruited a few fleets to transport armies from illyria back and to get the spy that has been stuck on Sardinia back; and also to spy on enemy coastal areas.
    also, in the planned dux campaign I was playing, I managed to finish it within 3 turns (amazingly). I think it helps that we have three legions to do the job and those cities are lightly garrisoned.

    that's rather good; also Navarro hasn't tallied the results of the congressional session legislations and updated the FAQ yet

    EDIT: oh noes; I just realised that we all labelled the latest congressional session's edicts and CA's wrongly. it's the 4th session but the edicts are 3.1, 3.3 etc

    EDIT2: I also just realised that I accdentally made Asina muddle-headed:

    The only thing im concerned about is the computer factions being underdeveloped. It really takes quite a few years for the computer to build up any reasonable forces/cities.

    thoughts?

    Thats why I like to keep factions alive...it gets boring and too easy if you never have any enemies besides the ones you choose.

    Regarding navies: I thought we were RPing the merchants loaning us their vessels etc . If that's the case, use the "add money" cheat and recruit one ship to stand for our "fleet". Then we destroy it afterwards - or keep it so that we have an added cost to RP reimbursing the merchants / the lost trade from them not having as many ships.


    We absolutely need a naval rank - and I suggest that in each naval fleet we have an avatar who would be an admiral instead of a general. That way we can have some more RPing and get more of the Avatars involved.

    Are we still actively recruiting players?

    yah i don't think it would last very long or be fun if we we just blitz the hell out of the AI and destroy them all. why don't we completely wipe out Epeiros then lay low and boost our economy?

    @Tiberius i don't see why we wouldn't be, i know WotB is always recruiting. do you know someone who's interested?

    I'd leave the recruiting in there to you, Navarro, Ibn, people like that that play both. Won't seem so rude then. But yeah it will be good to have more people, seeing as only half or so of the players we have are regular visitors

    Legio I Apulia is heading towards Roma
    and why does T.V. Maximus (youhavereceived) have the Provincae Gallia Cisalpina (provincial governor of Cisalpine Gaul) ancillary?
    The game gave it to him on its own probably because hes been there a while now. Ill transfer it. Only problem is that I always have trouble with ancillary givings/takings. Anybody keen on that here? TCV maybe?

    You mean how to transfer an ancillary? You do that by moving the characters using the move_character cheat, and putting them in the same stack (and then just pulling and dropping like normal). Then you move them back to where they were before. Just as a warning though, don't move characters who are inside settlements, and you probably shouldn't try to move characters into settlements either.

    Yeah, you need the coordinates as well, of course. You can easily get them by pointing at the desired destination with your cursor, and then typing show_cursorstat in the console. So the whole cheat is like this:

    move_character "[character's name]" x,y

    So if the coordinates are x = 1 and y= 666, and it's my character you wish to move, then the full code is like this:

    move_character "Pvblivs Atilivsregvlvs" 1,666

    No the moving cheat for the romans is weird, you can only do it with a few of them.

    yeah, as far as I know, the Romans have some internal name like PvblivsA or PvblivsB until PvblivsK when they are first spawned, until you quit the game. afterwards, the first name just reverts to Pvblivs; so if there are a few Pvblivs characters in our savegame, it would be a bit hard because all the Romani character internal last names are "Romanvs" post EB1.1
    and when is potocello going to engage those rebels?

    If so, it has to wait. My EB computer is currently busted (as I said in the WotB forum, but apparently forgot to do here) so I can't do anything until it is fixed, which requires me buying a new part for it. Should be done some time during this week if I can find it, but until then, I can't do anything IG. That's why I've given the movement and battle command of Legio I to Cicero at the moment.

    That's what i'm talking about - I'll send him a PM and if I get no response I'll send a messenger to the Curia saying he's fallen into a delirium from an insect bite or something and request control of the Legion temporarily



    Navies - I RP'd that my family would donate the first handful of vessels back when we suggested attacking Greece. I'm sure my family would still be willing to do that for a little praise / recognition from the Senate, etc

    It's all explained in the story; but the long and the short of it are that my father aided the spy sent into Taras before the invasion and out of recognition of that assistance, the senate awarded me a seat. It was mostly ceremonial in order to ease the minds of the local just-conquered populace by placating them that one of their own would help look out for their interests.
