• Aetius39 (Virtus 8 (-1 from loss), defender victories 4* (+1))

• dim30 (Virtus 7 (-1 from loss), defender victories 4)

• Doyley50 (Virtus 5 (-1 from loss), defender victories 1)

• kronenblatt (Virtus 6 (+1 from 4 defender victories), defender victories 4 (+2))

*Aetius39 got +1 Virtue from 3 defender victories already last round.

This eighth round (10 BC - 30 AD) allows for 1-5 attacks per player upon provinces connected by land or sea to the provinces you already control. (5 is the maximum.)

If making more than one attack, you'll divide up your Virtus' FP adjustment evenly between these attacks.



Please also note that Romans will starting in this round face an additional -20 FP adjustment in each of its battles, due to 'time decay'. (In round 10 it will increase to -40 FP, and in round 13 to -60 FP, and so on.)

If you decide to select the map terrain of the province attacked (then doing so in the attack declaration), then there's a -30 FP adjustment, and if you leave that to the defender, then you'll get a +30 FP adjustment (in both cases of course only if there's more than one map terrain to choose from for that particular province).

We can all submit our attack declarations at the same time, not needing to wait for each other, in the campaign thread by May 24 at the latest.

Any of the other players can be chosen as opponents, but that player can not be chosen again until all other players thereafter have in between been chosen as opponents too.

Also, if possible, please also choose opponents who haven't yet been chosen that round, in order to distribute games evenly among defending players in each round.

Since it's now 10 BC -30 AD, only one Roman army can be selected in each attack: Roman 24 BC - 99 AD. You can, as attacker, select allies available in-game (TT mod) to the Roman army list, but only if they cover the time period (50-150 BC) and you control their provinces.

A player's attack declarations must be posted in the campaign thread and include the following information:

• The Roman army list (and allies, if any) used by the player in his attack.

• The province attacked.

• The player's total FP adjustment for the attack (i.e., his Virtus FP adjustment divided by the number of attacks that he is making that round, the -20 FP 'time decay' adjustment, and the terrain adjustment).

• The map terrain, if he (as attacker) decides to make that selection.

• The player to be his opponent as defender.

• Example (for round 5, 90 - 50 BC): Roman 105-25 BC attacks Lugdunensis. +70 FP. North European Wooded. Aetius39 as opponent.

The defender then

• selects an army list from the TT Mod v1.5.32b, whose time period overlaps the current round's (10 BC - 30 AD) and whose geographic location fits the attacked province.

• If the Romans historically had conquered the attacked province in full by that time period, there will be a civil war battle, using the same Roman army list for the defender (albeit without allies).

• Please use a generous, friendly and constructive approach that will promote fun games, both when it comes to selecting army lists (especially as defender) and when it comes to approving or disapproving such army lists (especially as attacker).

That’s why you need some sort of formal education in case your usurpation goes wrong.

80/3 - 20 + 30 = 27 - 20 + 30 = 37

Dividing up your Virtus adjustment (+50) into two battles turns into +25 and then minus the 20 FP time decay plus 30 FP for letting the opponent select map terrain:

50/2 - 20 + 30 = 25 - 20 + 30 = +35 FP.
