Let's just play and see how things work out. There are some good ideas in this campaign.

Not really, it will take me 7.16 turns to get both armies back to 500 each. 3 turns for two of you to have a one 500 , and 3 turns for one of you (you ) to have 2 500....

As for the tour of the East he he there is honour amonst Romans

, yet in the end the game is set up for me to be vs ironclad. it really makes no differnce to you how low either our prestige gets , only that you have more money than your barbarian comrades at game end.

i am thinking that there is almost zero incentive to bribe barabrians as it only reduces your prestige... maybe at end game if you already have a comfortable lead
Perhaps Davaouthojo can look at a change in the game mecahics regarding bribing rather than the combat. Instead of losing prestige perhaps instead the Romans only have a finite amount of money Say 300k.... You regenerate 100k every 2? turns but are capped at 3 or 400k. That way bribery might actually work its way into the game and we Romans can play king maker

For some reason I thought you gained 50pts a turn...but you are at 30 at the moment I think. Maybe it is time to pounce!!!

D's last post with a map says for Romans to record reinforcements/xfers and then moves... Not sure why only Romans ... maybe i jumped the gun?

Ya...wait until Admin is finished for moves. Am waiting to see your army strengths.

Then we'll decide where to pounce.

The Goths take advantage of the Western invasions to sneak across the border.....while the Franks have decided that hit and run tactics are preferable to pitched battles with Roman armies........did the Romans know the Franks were retreating?.....

Romans send moves, transfers and reinforcements, others send moves.....deadline 24th May 24:00 GMT

The Emperor of the East has been killed, slain in his bath by one of his serving boys.

No turmoil, though, one of his senior generals deadtorius has immediately taken control.....indeed, the takeover has been so smooth that rumours abound that the martial new Emperor took an active role in ending the previous sybaritic regime.....though these rumours are not mentioned to his face of course......

Still awaiting 363 AD moves.....

Sassanid Persians take the opportunity to sneak across the border to Babylonia while the First Roman Eastern Army covers Constantinople. Goths make hay in Thracia while the rest of the barbarians lick their wounds....
Roman reinforcements and next moves please

Hmm, unless there is a game feature that troops can misunderstand orders, Army West 2 were to have moved to Solona , not Savaria

Just like so many rules in FOG, hard to tell if it is a feature or a bug..................that one is a bug, map corrected!

davouthojo · Post by **davouthojo** » Sun May 29, 2011 5:26 am

Moves in 364AD....The Goths race back across the border, pursued by the Eastern Romans, the Persians plunder Babylonia....but the other Eastern army is in hot pursuit....

Moves for 365AD and reinforcements please....deadline 1st June. Alemanni are free to raid again....if they dare......

petergarnett · Post by **petergarnett** » Sun May 29, 2011 7:36 am

Oh I love a dare!

Blathergut · Post by **Blathergut** » Sun May 29, 2011 12:21 pm

Franks may raid again, in this upcoming 365 turn?

petergarnett · Post by **petergarnett** » Mon May 30, 2011 6:20 pm

I assume so as my Alemanni can raid again

But note the restriction that a barbarian player may only have one army in Imperial territory at a time.
