  1. That is excellent, I love your approach to legion command and to the strategic and tactical gameplay (deep enough to be engrossing, but simple enough to not detract from the fact that this is an RPG and not a 4X game). In terms of mechanics that would allow us to influence the outcome of battles beforehand, I can suggest a few ideas: - Diplomacy, e.g. trying to get parts of the enemy army to defect or desert. Sow discord within the enemy army. These can be done in-character or you can send centurions on missions to attempt to do this - Assassination/sabotage, e.g. assassinating officers, sabotaging supplies, etc. - Attacking Morale, e.g. having champions duel before the battle (Centurions can again play a role here), deceiving the enemy into thinking you have a larger army/bluffing, place part of your army behind the enemy army and make it look like they are surrounded, etc.
  2. Fantastic! Thank you for that. Good to know that Lucullus himself is a family friend ;) I have 2 questions that would be great if you could address: 1. Is this Vitellius Lurco an optimate or a populares? Not that the civil war in Rome was primarily driven by ideology (afterall, both Caesar and Pompey were populares in theory), but it would be interesting if we could paint our rivalry with Lurco on the basis of ideology (so we are on the opposing side) or simply keep it a pure cynical power clash. 2. Somewhat related to the above question. Am I right in speculating that the rivalry between us and Lurco will act as a stand-in of the clash between Caesar and Pompey (effectively, we replace them in this historical alternate reality)? Or will we participate in the conflict between Caesar vs Pompey and interact with them as NPCs?
