Interactive Romani AAR.

**johnhughthom** · 04-08-2009, 14:31

After sorting out some computer issues and playing a bit of E:TW I have come back to EB and wanted to check out the interest in an interactive Romani AAR in which forum goers would play Senators. I would play all the in-game moves based on decisions made in the AAR thread. It would be similar to Maion's Makedon AAR, https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=107468 and Jaertecken's current Sweboz AAR https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=112547.

I would rather have us fight too! But if not than thats okay.

Name:Julius Ceasar (so original right!)(:
Age: 29 ( rome's youngest senator in History(
Tribe: Campanian
Backround: He has made a special deal with the senate so he can fight and decide what 2 do. He grew up in the nobility of campainia playing with the other boys, rich or poor he didn't care, but his father would yell at him if he caught him playing with the poor. They fought for fun with sticks and sometimes, the traders would give tem a small shield too play with too. When he was growing up he had too go to this boring school where they would teach him how to read and write which was good, but he also had to learn how to be a good senator, which his father always wanted him to be. once he graduated from that he went to the officer academy, against his fathers wishes and became a good officer, and went off to help secure italia and fight Phyyros.

You know you could just join BtSH, thats almost exactly what we do.

EDIT: I can't believe all these people have signed up for this and so few went for BtSH. It's practically the same thing. Well done, johnhughthom.

Yeah, I know about that. It's for 1.1 though and it's too much hassle trying to have more than one EB install as I have Steam.

I'm in.

Quintus Livius Postumus, 39 years old, a plebeian.
He has considerable military experience and has had moderate success in politics, currently holding the rank of Plebeian Aedile. Belongs to a wealthy Plebeian family, and, while not currently of great influence, has much ambition. He is fascinated by Greek culture.

Anybody playing along with this really should check out BtSH, EB PBMs are great fun. I would play BtSH if it wasn't for EB 1.1, I'm currently playing a Makedon PBM and really enjoyed my time as one of the original players of WoTB(AS PBM).
Head over to the Throne Room and check it out guys.

Unless you got a sore head from all those acronyms.

The Senate Building Rome, 483 AUC.

As the Senators arrive in the building they see Dentatus is already there, for all they know he may have been there for days. He is looking even older than last time, surely he won't last another year. When the room was full he rose and addressed Romes men of influence.

Fellows, Rome's rise to greatness continues unabated. The evil mercenaries who took advantage of the fearful people of Rhegion are no more. Perhaps some of you watched as Rome took her revenge?

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Forgot to turn off general cam again!!!!

Now we must forget the past and look to the future, once again we have a new responsibility and must decide how to handle it. Also we still haven't addressed the role of Ariminium, do we control her directly, or should the residents have a degree of self-government?
Our ambassadors arrived in Epiros within the last few weeks and agreed a peace deal. I am told they are hard at work on more than one front, their war with the Macedons goes well, indeed they control the Macedon homeland, birthplace of Alexander. They are also working to subdue the Illyrian coast, Dalminion is already under siege and may fall within the year. We need to decide is this advantageous for us, Epirote control of the region should control piracy in the Adriatic, or is it an Imperialistic streak we need to subdue? Some of you have already spoken of the need to engage in this theatre, Dentatus nods at Arnza Perperna, Personally I think it a reckless thought, how many legions would we need to take and garrison the region? It is, however up to you as the engineers of the will of Rome. It seems to me there are three fronts, Sicily, Gallic Italia or Illyria/Greece. Involvement in the first front would bring us into conflict with an old friend and trading partner, one would lead us to fighting savages and the other strikes me as madness. What do we do?

He sits with a sigh, nodding to the Senate to air their opinions.

Marcus Iulius Rufus stands up

"We hear again of a great victory, and I didn't expect anything lesser. First point I would like to adres is what we need to do with Arminium, I say we need to rule it ourselves with the laws of Rome. Second point is what to do now. I know that my plans for attacking Carthage aren't welcomed by the majority of the senate. But after some time I'm certain that all of them will realise that what I proposed was the right thing to do. Because I don't believe they'll expand in Africa or Iberia after they are done in Sicily. But they'll move in too Italy. And they'll attack Roman land and I hope it will not be too late too repel their attack. Now what do we need to do is conquer the northern part of Italy maybe there are mines in the mountains that will bring riches to us. Attacking Hellas now would be madness, some people are forgetting the two mighty empires in the east who wouldn't like if we came and tried to conquer Hellas. And we don't need all of Hellas to unite against an external enemy. Their time will come but it's not now."
He sits back down
