  • 205 BC - the questions to the senators

    The inspectors have traveled through all our glorious empire and returned with detailed reports.

    Currently the carthagians are sending massive fleets around Sicily and Corsica. We have good number of troops there and there are lots of garrisons on the continent who may be transported this turn. The question is: Do we need all these troops to be transported there or they will be more useful at the northern border?
    Our inspectors reported for a large macedonian fleet near Sicily too. Currently we have good relations with them but how long will they last it is unknown. I will not enter a war with Macedonia, so I'll not ask what to do with the greeks. I want to hear what the senators are thinking about the troops in Southern Italy.

    The second problem our inspectors have seen is the amount of war ships we have. Currently they are exactly 4 with 2 of on their way to the Dyes island (Cyprus). This means we have only two galleys to transport troops between the islands. Should we build more galleys or we don't need ships now?

    The third problem is our expansion. Although most of our cities are building armies some of them are preparing new groups of citizens to create new towns. Where should these towns be placed? More to the east or the west, in Iberia? Or between the loosy placed macedonian cities?

    I'll need more troops for the western campaign against Carthage. I can't see their dreadful war elephants but I'm sure we will meet them with our couragous legions and we will beat them. The question is should we buy the troops in the new conquered cities (mainly garrisons) to defend the captured cities or we should try to rush some improvements there and the troops will come from Italy?

    Last big concern - our northern borders. We are at war with the goths now. Should we attack them? Or should we leave them and start a war with the more powerful Celts? Or just defend our cities until the western campaign is under control and we have defended our cities better?

      I would ask why one would not want to not have more Galleys..at the very least they could form an Armada around our transporting fleet

            It does look like we have a multitude of opinions, tell me, whom does have the actual final say?

              The emperor has the last word, i.e. me
              I have asked some questions and to keep it simple all answers were put in one thread. You have to vote only for one answer from every group.

                If there is a majority, that option wins. If there is no majority, the Emperor gets to make the final decision.

                  It would be nice if we threw a twist in..hanging chads sort of thingey and still the Emperor did what he pleased..like modern day America

                    Actually, the Emperor is still free under the rules to override a decision heavilly favored by the majority.

                    All these polls are advisory only.

                        Didn't we have this discussion already? Micromanagement (i.e. precise city locations) does not belong to the Senate, that has been established (unfortunately). BUT general directions belong to the Senate. For example, if we agree that Rome should settle north, the Emperor has to do so. He can change this only if there are serious reasons that would make settling north dangerous at this moment. The Emperor cannot just say "Bah, I do it my way".

                          well.. The Emperor could simply state he has .."On Reliable sources loyal to him" that it would be bad to settle there...

                          Then that would simply nullify any work done by the senate..

                          again..sounds amazingly like modern day America

                          The still sounds like a great storyline to write..even with the backstabbing going on..yes I do like being the subversive role
