It was not really meant as a mechanic in the senate, more as a one time: pretty please Augustus can you spare some troops to conquer our ancestral homeland since they are no longer part of Xenoi Xolal. We promise to be ever so good little reformed barbarians, pretty please with a pyre of burning heretics on top?

On an entirely unrelated note, what are the rules regarding the throwing of the decapitated heads of rebel leaders on the floor of the senate?
Have you seen the map of the Imperium?

Denmark is nowhere near the border, so for the time being the answer is no I'm afraid.

I hope Normandy and Britanny will be reconquered soon enough by the Imperium !

Aragon seems to make a good South Western Border but Gallia really needs some "border fixing". But I won't despair, Pisans and Xenoi will get their due soon enough !

And the tossing of the severed heads of rebels onto the floor of the senate?

We must consider the reconquering of Hispania. It is near our current territories, is strategically important, is rich and it is (mine) Imperial ancestral land.

By other way, I would like to move my House back to Hispania if possible, Czoklet
 
At this moment, Quintus is sitting in his house waiting for the Senate to be called once more. Reading a book on ancient Rome, and twiddling his thumbs.

SO about that senate session...
 
WE MUST INSTEAD OF CONQUERING THE KINGDOMS, WE SHOULD RETURN THEM TO PROPER CHRISTIAN STATES. AS WE ALREADY ARE STREACHED PRETTY THIN!!!!
Meh... I don't consider us to have stretched too thin, so long as we continue the Roman idea of integration and incorporation. If we continue down that route then we should always have enough manpower and military might to enforce our will.

We incorporate foreigners? And here I thought we just purged them for "heresy" and gave enslaved them.
 
SO about that senate session...
When I'm back home I'll post new Diarium Senatorium and open the first Faction Meeting. We shall start with the Red Demes.

Also I've been thinking about the rules and in the future unaffiliated Senators will have the opportunity to go for every Faction Meeting if they are invited by the Faction Leader.

Sweet. Also did we officially get some one to be faction leader or did we decide to postpone till now? Also I think that we ought to wait until we have some more econ rolling to get more than our old turf back.
 
You will elect your Faction Leader during the meeting.
 
Can't wait for the meeting of the whites. Without Colombo we are... what now? Four guys? This will make decision making very easy, since there will be only five diverging opinions!

Yes, the hawks shall start. We will see if they sharpened their talons or if their spirits have become blunt from bowing to the Blues.

McGrey: Fear not, for I shall prepare a dozen different views for my character, if that is what you desire.


Edit: English is hard (thx @Teutonic King).

It seems like even the Whites are more ascendant than the Reds.
The once proud league of angry red cripples seems to be on its last leg.


Wouldn't it be a great shake up if Big Brother Emperor were to purge the Blues for their wealth or for charges of treason and heresy...

We will laugh when the purges will be targeted at Whites and Reds alike ! :p

The Athanatoi are never late, nor are they early - they arrive precisely when the blessed Autokrator means to ;)

Hawks don't have fangs, because of beaks. They do, however, have talons. :D
