Well, AFAIK there is nothing in the rules that says you can't do that. However, without an edict (or a voting, if that's allowed - which I, by the way, think it should), the senate (which includes the consuls) are not obliged to support you. Meaning, we could refuse to retrain your losses, send reinforcements, or do anything to back you up at all.

Personally I think this is a rather lame disincentive to attacking a settlement without senatorial backing, but meh.

true, but it is ALSO in the rules that if a legion falls below minimum standing it MUST be retrained, not reinforced though true. The other option would be for "opposers" to ask for Cotta to be stripped of Legio II's command which is insane since he has won victory after victory since I commissioned that legion as dictator.

Actually, that rule makes an exception if the Consul of Legions agrees otherwise, so...

Last time I checked, Arverni starts out at war with the SPQR, and we hadn't signed a peace treaty.

Are you against taking Ambrakia then TCV?

**The Celtic Viking** · 03-12-2009, 21:43

I'm indifferent. Pvblivs, on the other hand, would rather have a peace offer proposed, and only taking it if it's refused.

Of course, you can't act upon this knowledge IC, since it was said here OOC.

What, now? I would agree to one after Epirus is taken, but allow them to rebuild their elites? No way.

**The Celtic Viking** · 03-12-2009, 21:51

So when I refuse to join the discussion IC, you go for me OOC? Is there some way I can escape - without actually going AWOL?

Pvblivs doesn't share your expansionist views, and would rather not fight a two front war just because we can. He sees the enemy dead (Pyrrhos), and see no reason to continue the fight against the Epeirotes.
