Alright, maybe we can move on as if rockmanbob would be neutral to the problem.

[Chris Townsend]

Agree - anyone with a pdf editor to take a shot at editing a new version of the rules?

[ilpars]

I am doing now.
Over to Etruscans for 3rd Year Planning Diplomacy Phase:
The Planning Season begins with Major Factions conducting Diplomacy (on Non-Major Factions and Cities) for the Momentum earned the previous Year, with one d10 roll on the Faction Diplomacy Table or City Diplomacy Table for each such Momentum level.
Etruscans have 4 diplomacy rolls without using momentum bonus.

Here is the 0,99a version of rules.

Can you open the link?
It has been sometime since I last used Google Drive.

[Chris Townsend]

You may have to approve access requests from each of us. I have used my cjtsamsungtablet@gmail.com address.

[ilpars]

Ok I give access to everyone. From now on you can download without approval.

[Chris Townsend]

Thanks - the link now works, and the rules look good!

[teodor6100]

Thank you for making the changes, will talk with the team about diplomacy and will come with an answer hopefully soon

[teodor6100]

Year 3, Etruscan side diplomacy roll.
Our first dice goes to the Hill Tribes: 2, no change
Second roll of dice, same target: 5, no change
Third roll of dice, same target: 2, no change
Fourth and final roll of dice, same target: 1, no change.

I am not one to be first complaining something is not being fair, but this is tough to deal with.

I think we are first to place our armies now, right?

[Chris Townsend]

The Major Faction with the highest number of Friendly Armies does its placements first (if equal, Romans are going first).

From the bottom of page 5. The Romans have three armies (2 plus Gauls). We will discuss and let you know the placement.

[teodor6100]

Hey, my team is eager to return to the campaigning season, so I would like to state, regardless of where you choose to place your armies, that we place ours at Clusium and Volaterrae. Please take this as a decision that won't need further confirmation for after roman side places their armies.

We haven't nearly got what we hoped for out of our last battles, no doubt the result of roman subterfuges. But the power of Etruria is as potent as ever and determined to break the resolve of the latin wolf, no matter how many heads may he grow, prepare yourselves!

[Chris Townsend]

Roman armies deploy in Roma (II) and Tarquinii (I).
The Gauls again deploy in Luna.

[Chris Townsend]

Romans choose an army operation. All armies are in supply.
Roman army II considers moving NW from Roma, but decides that it should let Roman army I move first (DR 1)!

[teodor6100]

If I would tell an AI to assign army spawn positions for the roman side, according to the rules and facts on the ground, and then it would give me the answer that you have given us, then I would promptly tell it that it is hallucinating again. Please view the diplomacy stats and adjust.
