So anyone got anything good to put for a Sig and for the Quest Ad Thread?

i know we have a title, but what should I put for bringing people in?

So I have one last roll to show you, possibly the most important roll for starters.

The State of the Roman Legions:


Marians reforms may have not been popular by the Sulla boys, but by god, did the Roman war machine start getting good because of it.

So what you are saying is that Rome is fully capable of fighting a civil war and one or two foreign wars at the same time? Sounds perfectly normal to me.:p

"Semper ibi lupus ad messem tendit, ibi requiescit Romana laurus."
"Ever a Wolf were there to tend to the harvest, there will be a Roman resting their laurels."

Now, what I typed up is complete nonsense [that I just completely made up], but I'm sure if this was an actually Roman phrase, I'm willing to bet a literature professor would find some way to equate this to a Roman take on the phrase "better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener at war" and potentially the moral of a Cincinnatus parable that ties into the founding myth of Romulus and Remus.

nothings says we cannot decide to defect, become vergobret of the Arvernes, defeat Arioviste before Caesar can use him as a pretext to intervene in Gaul and then unite all the Gauls under our leadership....

what? it's at least as realistic as a Patrician daughter having any meaningful effect in the late republic.

Funnily enough I agree with you, though probably not for the same reasons you might have.
A form of Gaul uniting and defeating Ceaser is all things considered not even slightly unrealistic, the conquest was touch and go in places as it was in our timeline.
 
I just realized how many 'Dohvatty's Unbiased History of Rome'-Omakes I can write in this Quest.

As long as we get to kick the shit out of the fools who would drag Rome through the dirt for their own personal gain,i don't really give a damn about what gender our character will be.

[x] Plan: Lone Wolf
- [x] Claudia Nerva
- [x] -[X]Daughter: The Gods cursed him for a time, with an only child being a daughter. But soon he forgot such majesties and treated you not as a girl, but as his heir.
- [x] You are an only child. The Gods cursed your Father, and thus, made you alone in your family name.
- [x] The Patrician You are a patrician, the true nobility of Rome, the upper class of the Republic. Yours is an ancient family, hailing back to the very founding of Rome itself, and some would say even older than that, following Aeneas, all the way from Troy. Once, your family had numerous branches across the Republic, and were respected and held in high regard by the people and the Senate of Rome alike. But one by one, your line died out and your name fell into disrepute, from the plague, from war to Hannibal's butchery of Canne massacring several lines all at once. The name you have quickly devolved from respect to something of the dredges of society becoming associated with flesh merchants and slavers. A member of your family has not held the Consulate, or even sat in the Senate, for well over a century. Your father, through his actions, has started well on the path to restoring the long-lost honor of your name, but with him dead, the legacy of your family rests upon your shoulders.

You're vote is not counted properly the way it is now. Use only the first Line, the one with the Plan Name.

Italy, Parts of Southern France, the Iberian Peninsular, the former Territories of Carthage in North Africa, the western Part of Turkey and all of Greece and Macedonia.
Not counting various 'Client Kingdoms', especially in Anatolia, that are technically independent, but in Praxis pretty much part of Rome's Territory.

yes, I know. A roman patrician female defector being elected vergobret, otoh.

Edit; not to mention that gauls uniting, and staying united, BEFORE Caesar invades (I mean Arioviste is a good pretext, but after he is defeated....).....

edit 2; but i agree, a united (more or less) Gaul who has beaten Caesar (could be possible even as late in the game as Alesia) could possibly turn into a Gaul confederacy, under the command of a strong enough leader.
