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!*

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.
Yep, I'm planning this the British way; Maximum Speed and Maximum Aggression![]()

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:

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?

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

I think not, its possible to play WotB AND BtSH. I do it...

Many thanks to Hooahguy for this great sig.
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

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?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?
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.
I know. My plead was directed at Bean and SwissBarbar.Originally Posted by Potocello

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.
