All the games are finished, but we have yet to determine natural disasters for 270 B.C. Natural Disasters and Other Uncontrollable Events as declared by Zeus, ruler of the Olympians, are determined as follows.

Twice each turn or once a year, there will be a chance of incurring a natural disaster or having a restless populace. Each Major Power will be assigned an Italian city lottery, as follows:

1. Epirus – Firenze
2. Rome – Roma
3. Macedon – Milano
4. Gauls – Napoli
5. Carthage – Palermo
6. Seleucids – Genova
7. Ptolemaic – Torino
8. Antigonus – Venezia

Each lottery has five balls. The numbers on each ball will determine a result, a calamity or no harm.

1-20 - No harm
21-30 - Famine – costing 200T
31-40 - Earthquake – costing 100T
41-45 - Volcano Eruption – costing 100T
46-50 - Restless underclass – costing 100T
51-60 - Pirates or bandits disrupting trade – costing 100T
Over 60 - No harm
There could be multiple events causing harm each year. If there are 2 or more natural events of the same type, only the power with the highest number in the category will be inflicted. Restless underclass will count in each case.

We will use the Lotto from today, 22 December to determine the result for this year, 270 B.C.

Once these are determined, I will update treasury based on results during 270 B.C. and we will move on to another year and decade!

1. Epirus – Firenze - will respond
2. Rome – Roma - will respond
3. Macedon – Milano - will be active
4. Gauls – Napoli - will respond
5. Carthage – Palermo - will be active
6. Seleucids – Genova - will be active

8. Antigonus – Venezia - will respond

The order of active movers will be based on the lowest number received on a ball. The responders will be in order of the highest number received on a ball, with highest number responding to lowest number. If there is a tie, the next lowest/highest ball will be used.
