We will be playing Rome in the Rise of Rome Conquests Scenario.
Thank you one and all for your participation in the polls and threads to get us this far.
Here be the way we start this mighty game.
This is all open to negotiation and change in the mighty Senate of Rome.
-----------------------------------
1. The land is led by an Emperor and the Senate of Rome
2. Each Senator has a vote
3.a. The Emperor is successively rolled through a list of players that are on The Great Roll of Emperors
3.b. Please feel free to add your name to the list.
3.c. You may nominate someone else, but they will not be added to the list until they agree.
3.d. A Senator nominated by another player will not be accepted until they personally accept.
3.e. The nominated player needs to be a member of the Civ 3 Demo Game Civ Group.
3.f. Names may be added to the list at any time.
3.g. If a name is added to the list after it has been rolled over, they will need to await until their Family name is called according to the list.
4.a. The Consuls are drawn from the The Great Roll of Emperors. Here we take the Emperor who has just Retired, and the next Two Heirs to the Throne.
It is the Consul’s job to present and moderate ideas for the Emperor to utilize during his term. This means through running threads, polls and getting discussions underway and followed through.
5. All Senators to be registered in the The Roll of Senators
-----------------------------------
The order of play:
The Initial Save is posted
The Senate gathers and discusses the situation in threads and polls
The Emperor starts a multi-vote poll to give the Senate a last opportunity for guidance before starting his turns
The Emperor then goes on and plays a series of 5 turns
The Emperor then comes back and:
- start a thread for their reign and in here write up a report (this can be done with assistance of other Senators
- the save is posted in the Sacred Save thread for everyone to look over
- pictures, maps etc are posted in their Reign thread
These turn sessions can be interrupted by emergencies that need to be sort by the Consuls and / or the Senate. Thus some sessions would only be the turns until the emergency is declared. Then the Emperor continues until his 5 turn are completed.
The final save is posted
This ends the Emperor’s reign
We then move the reign to the next Senate Family that is listed on The Great Roll.
If that Great Family is not able to take up the Empire, then the Consul’s will invite the next Family on the list to step forward.
Once all names on the list have been exhausted, we start at the top of the list.

footnote
During the Republic, the Senate, although it could not make laws, was the dominant force in Roman politics; its decrees virtually had the force of law and strongly influenced legislation. The senate was not an elected body. One became a senator simply by virtue of being elected to the quaestorship, the lowest office among the chief Roman magistracies (the others being the praetorship, consulship and censorship).
The unending war with Carthage has been changed to standard, so that diplomacy options can be increased.
"Each player gets some involvement and also has to answer to the senate and the people of Rome for any mistakes they might make, of course there may even be work for the Empires carpenters should over zealous generals become needy of a wooden cross"
- quote of Senator Chrisius Maximus
