Games

Valerius spends 7 talents to sponsor a Slice & Dice, gaining 1 popularity. Unrest is already 0.

Sixth Initiative

Terentius bids 3 talents, Aurelius bids 4, and Quinctius bids 5, winning.

Initiative DR = 7. Random Event TDR = 13: Barbarian Raids.

Barbarian Raids: At the start of the next Revenue Phase, each Frontier province makes a raid DR. A Raid DR plus Force < 15 = Overrun. An Overrun = all revenue lost, no Improvement dr, a Force loss equal to the colored dr of the Raid DR, and a Developed province reverts to its Undeveloped stage. Force: Base plus (Garrisons x 2) plus Provincial army plus Governor's Military rating.

Quinctius spends 4 talents to attract a knight (dr = 5 + 4) success.

Junius is returned to the Forum.

Population Phase

FC Terentius addresses the assembled people.

"People of Rome!

"Do not think that my recent victory over the Illyrians has put an end to our troubles! I have just received word that the Slaves in Sicily have risen up in revolt and that we have a minor war in Africa to contend with. Worse yet, those honorless Macedonians are again gearing up for war, awaiting even a moment's weakness on our part ere pouncing.

"We have two good courses of action at our disposal. Recall that we have 7 veteran and 18 regular legions (32 CF) and 10 fleets currently under arms.

"The first is to send Macedonicus or Flamaninus, 16 regulars and 5 fleets against the Macedonians and forestall them reinforcing any further. The Augurs assure me that if either of these fine leaders are sent against the Macedonians we are assured of victory.

"The second is to send out expeditions against the Jurgentine War and to suppress the slave revolt. A 3-mil leader, 2 fleets and 16 CF of troops will maximize our odds against the Jurgentine at 83.33% and a 2-mil leader, 1 fleet and 16 CF maximizes against the slaves at 88.47%. That's a 73.72% chance of winning both.

"The first option offers relief from the threat of the Macedonians doubling or tripling before we can get to them. The second offers immediate relief from drought and puts away two enemies, but is also not a sure thing."

"My first predelection is attack Macedonia, but I will seek the advice of the Senate and nominate consuls appropriate to the task we choose."

TDR = 8 + 3 (popularity) – 1 (drought) = 10. +1 to Unrest Level.
