Citizen 7,7,4 from Silk Meadow headed 7,7,4,4 from Silk Meadow


Gaul
Stolen Wine will finally grow. Why this city was allowed to stagnate by prior adms is unknown. This is great location with FP. We should irrigate everything we can here in order to mine those hills. Take food rich tiles from Massilia which can grow seaward thanks to it's harbor.

Final situation 0% lux, 1006 treasury, 820 gpt cash flow

no screenies this turn since the sacred save will be posted shortly and you can view anything you want.

And so Roadamus Caesar sets aside the trappings of power and reflects on his accomplishments.

First let's review the administrations goals from the initial post of this thread.
[list=1][*]Peace in Gaul - Achieved[*]Mobilization for Brittanic Campaign - ongoing[*]Pushing the Goth Border - 3 settlers en route[*]Macedonian buildup - ongoing[*]Interisland ferry system - Achieved[*]Harrassment in Afrika - limited action based on Senate wishes[*]Infill and Infrastructure in Ispania - 1 city relocated, 1 city founded, 1 site still to fill with citizen in production[*]Grow cash flow - now at 820 gpt[/list=1]

Secondly, there are many goto moves pending in the save.

The Citizen intended for 7744 from Silk Meadow
Several HC's FC's LIII's en route to Macedonian front

Finally, tween turn movements for several turns indicate eminent hostilities.

Carthage -
Lots of movement near Polyroman Carthage. I really expected an attack during my reign. I do not understand the AI's delay, but as a result we have been able to mobilize a huge garrison there.
Lots of boat movement near Sardinia. We have left a suitable no def bonus tile on Sardinia in hopes that Hannibal would come calling. Huge Garrisons in Sardinia await action.

Celts -
Some boats offshore Northern Ispania have been visible intermittently.

Macedonians -
Hopolite border crossing south of Conopolis. Alex withdrew under protest and I blocked the road with an LIII. Most likely will be looking for another approach. We really want to keep the status quo here for a few more turns while we beef up this border.

and so, I Roadamus the Cagey begin a bar hopping tour of Roma.

[Modo44]

All hail the Emperor. Great deeds.

Get roadcage a bottle of champaign from newly libearated Gaul!

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Splended work Emporer well done indeed

[Micha]

I admire the work of both recent emperors! All hail to the Caesars of Rome!


Still, I have to issue a complaint: The consistent use of the name "Crete" when referring to the island "Cyprus" is worrysome, revealing serious shortcomings in the Polyroman education system...
This is why I ask the Senate to order the teachers of both Roadamus Caesar and Donegealus to be nailed to the cross!

Cyprus is in our empire, an eastern island in the mediterian off the coast of Lebanon. The Dye there is highly useful.

Crete is an island in the centeral mediteritian off the coast of Greece. I'm not sure if Macedonia settled it or not, but doesn't contain anything of interest.
