ALEA IACTA EST: A Roman Republic Game (Rules, OOC and Sign Up Thread) (CLOSED)

[Huey Long is a Republican]

Only a few hours left and several players haven't sent orders. Not sure what to do here.

How does one send orders?

Private message to Lumine

[Lumine]

Turn closed. I'll get to writing.

[Lumine]

Research took some extra time, but I'll be posting the results within the next few hours as the framework is ready. No player has died on this first turn, but we have riots, revolts and some fascinating political events...

I love when Lumine gives us the vague, chilling, exciting warm-up posts for the turn.

There you go. You'll have some hours to digest the news, 52 BC will be up tomorrow.

Only a few hours left and several players haven't sent orders. Not sure what to do here.

How does one send orders?

You just have to send me a PM.

For example:

"I order ____ army to march to _____ and fight the enemy forces there", or, "I'll send assassins against ______", or, "I order a tax to be created that affects _____ and _____", and so on. Some can be more detailed, others a simple sentence.

Now that Windjammer is gone, Gaul is open for players who wish to play as Ambiorix, Vercingetorix or as a "council" of sorts to control the entire revolt in Gaul. If New Tennessean Politician wants to switch to Gaul (as it would be far more decisive to the game right now than Thrace) he can do so, otherwise it's open to new players.

[Lumine]

Gentlemen, do stop sending PM's with orders. The turn is not up yet.

[Lumine]

Turn ready, enjoy.

is there a limit to the number of Orders you can send per Turn?

[Lumine]

is there a limit to the number of Orders you can send per Turn?

No, but given the nature of the period many orders may take a long time to accomplish. Still, the more the better I should say.

Alright then.

Any chance we could get a key for the map for the color blind aND dumb people here, me being both?

I don't follow, what do you mean by a "key"?

I think they mean what Country is where.

How many days is every turn? I continuesly forgot to ask until now

[Lumine]

Roughly a week unless there a reasonable grounds for an extension.

Ah. Thank you. I was curious because you never say have orders and motions placed in a week's time.

[leonardothered]

Also I still need a key to figure out what some of these nations are...

Dacia is Romania, Thrace is Bulgaria, Belgae is Belgium, Vercingetorix is the blob in South France, Bosphoran Kingdom is Crimea, Parthia is Iran, Egypt is Egypt, Numidia is in Morocco, I have 0 idea what Algeria is, and Rome has everything that isn't blank or in a seemingly different color.

[Lumine]

Red is of course the territories under direct Roman control, with the lighter shade of Red reserved for some of the closest client states to Rome (the conquered tribes in Gaul, Massalia, the cities in the Bosphorus, Galatia, Commagene and Cappadocia).

In Gaul purple represents the Arverni and the Gaul-Aquitanian rebels, with the shade of green in Belgium being Ambiorix and his Belgian tribes.

In Africa the kingdom most of the west is Mauritania, then goes Numidia, then the Roman provinces of Africa and Cyrenaica and of course the Kingdom of Egypt.

North of Macedon you have the Sapean Kingdom of Thrace, sandwiched between the Romans and the large Dacian Empire of Burebista. To the North of them and in the Crimea you have the Bosphoran Kingdom of Farnaces.

East of the Roman province of Asia and its allied Kingdoms you have the Kingdom of Armenia (Green) and the Parthian Empire (Orange), the two small principates between Rome and Parthia being Osroene (upper one) and Palmyra (lower one).

East of the Parthian Empire you have the Yuezhi tribes in a shade of red, and down you have the Indo-Scythian Kingdoms in dark blue.

Finally, close to Egypt (yellow) there's Judaea (purple, a strange mixture of client kingdoms under direct rule in many areas), and finally the Nabatean Kingdom right between Egypt and Parthia.

I'll have to drop out. Kinda lost enthusiasm for it. Might be back at some point down the track.

Any chance of an extension? I’ve found activity v difficult over Christmas and surely we need a Caesar?!

I just realized there’s not a Caesar. Hmmm...

There will be an extension, but after losing Vercingetorix and Caesar so soon I have a problem I'm not sure how to solve, I just can't carry on with an NPC Caesar given the moment in the game. Not sure if the biggest issue is the time period or my way to handle the game, but a momentum loss so soon into the game is a huge problem.

Any suggestions?
