"In Vino Veritas"
-Truth in Wine

Egpyt, Rome, Parthea, Gaul, Greece, Scythia, Germania… all great nations. These great nations need great leaders. Who will win, and who will die by the blade?

Now is the time. The world is ready for a good leader to rise up and destroy all enemies.

Can you be that leader?

You may use your skills in battle, and you must choose wisely which men to recruit with your limited resources. Choose wisely, and you will rest on the throne of Rome. Choose wrongly, and you will rest on the spears of your foes! Let us begin the remake of the legendary Battle for Rome!

The Roman Army

The Roman army is the force from Italy, deadly with legions of troops. Once in control of so much more then they currently do, can the roman army take its place and rule the world?

*Leader* Julius Caesar -
*Consul* Pompey -
*Consul* Crassus -

Gallic Tribes

Not united in any way, these tribes are fearsome and competitive. They are deadly in their homeland, and have a bitter hate for Romans. Handle with care, sons of Mars!

*Vercengetes* Vercengetorix -
*Gestenores* Gestenorox -
*Feriendores* Feriendore -

Egypt

Devastating force from the south, Egypt is not bound by a particular hatred for any Faction. Egypt is one of the superpowers of the ancient world. Great monuments are not this Faction's only strength!

*Leader* Ptolemy XII -
*General* Abayomi Lateef -
*General* Apophis Kneph -

Parthia

Parthia, (otherwise known as Persia) is a great force, and brilliant with cavalry, Parthia once had a strong empire rivalry Rome. Can they do the same this time? Certainly if other Factions underestimate these horsemen.

*Leader* Orodes II -
*General* Gorus Tynet -
*General* Marinea Youssul -

Germania

Northern brothers of the Gauls, the Germanians had great axemen and sturdy fortresses. They are a major threat to any invaders!

*King* Ambiorix –
*General* Vorro - 
*General* Geir –

Greece

Civilised, cultured, a nation of thinkers and philosophers... just don't disagree, or find yourself on the point of the invincible Spartan Hoplites! Do not underestimate these warriors.

*Leader* Kleomenes -
*General* Antigonos -
*General* Eumenes -

Scythia

Eurasian 'barbarians', this faction was legendarily the first to domesticate the horse. As such, their horsmanship is unmatched by even the Parthian steeds. Their archers are also mighty, their warriors feirce and strong. Be wary of their prowess in battle, or weep for your lost men and honour!

*King* Palokus -
*General* Tasius -
*General* Maecotia -

[Inactive] = Does not post often, has not been here in a while. Place may be open for others.
[Warning] = Spammed, Flammed or Broke the rules. Place may be open for others.
[Son of...] = Good player either at tactics, helpfulness or just posting often.

Do not expect the history to go according to the books, in this Rome, you decide your fate!
I shall assume the role of Jupiter, and make sure that all goes well in the world of mortals.

~Rules~

Getting Started:

Please post on the thread asking to be accepted, and the character and faction you wish to belong to. Do not spam or go ahead and post after your applictaion, or you will be ignored.

Points:

Only leaders can get points, but you can help! Points can be used to buy troops, and points can be gained by winning battles. So, you buy troops, use them to battle, and get more points! Sometimes if you settle a situation without bloodshed you get the points without using Troops. Once you win a battle, your leader will get the points to give to his generals as he likes. Please be patient, as most of the leaders aren't robots... most...

Battling:

To battle you need men. Small battles can sometimes include yourself, but generally you need an army. You also need to reach the battlefield, which will normally take a few days or even weeks. Once you are there, you may fight. You can do anything you like on the battlefield, but please wait for me to reply to your movements and give you the outcome.

Secret Plans:

If you are planning to ambush someone, you obviously don't want them to know about it. In these circumstances PM me your movements, and I will use this as proof that you had moved there. Secret Plans not PMed to me will be void.

Roads:
Roads may be built from one town to another. The cost of a road depends on the amount of days it would normally take to travel between the towns, and what natural obstacles are in the way. Roads are very useful to move an army around swiftly, but be careful as they may cost many points.

Name, Location, Faction:
To help me keep track of everyone, please put your character name, location at the time of the post, and the faction you belong to. Failure to do this may result in your post being ignored.

Turmoil:
If you control no territories, or if your faction leader dies, your faction enters a state of [Turmoil]. After 5 days of [Turmoil], you suffer a faction-wide morale decrease amongst the soldiers, and for every day you remain in turmoil after 5 days, you lose 50 soldiers at random. This is to simulate lack of supplies and food, as well as desertion in the face of desperation. You may remove your status of Turmoil by capturing a territory.

~Gods~

Temples:
Temples cannot be built. They are simply there. There is a temple dedicated to each God of the Pantheon, that is 12 temples in all. If you own a city in which a temple stands, you gain the power to Envoke the God of that temple. Temples can be destroyed by invading armies, and the treasures taken to another city. In that case, a temple will be erected around the treasures in the new city, and the benefits will be given to the new owner. One city may only have one temple at any one time. There can never be more than one temple for one god.

Envoking the Gods:
All of the gods bestow different powers on their people. You may only Envoke the Gods if you are visiting a city that has a temple dedicated to that god in it, and if you own that city. You may only envoke each god once per chapter. To find out what cities contain what temples, and what powers they bestow upon their worshippers, see the section labelled "Temples".

FAQ:

Q: Can we duel?
A: Yes. You can do anything in Battle for Rome. When the situation comes up I will address it.

Q: How does Game Time relate to Real Time?
A: It doesn't. Time is advanced according to the latest timestamps. Generally for a day passing I will show a "Time Moves On..." legend which indicates the passing of time.

Q: Can we play as sub-officers?
A: No. Sub-officers are controlled by me, although they are commanded by their generals. Generals relay their orders to the sub-officer, and I shall post the sub-officer's reaction to this. As such, sub-officers are not playable.

SCENARIOS

Scenario #1

There has been a rebellion against the crown. Your father and elder brother have been slain. In a rushed ceremony, you have been pronounced King, as the only remaining male in the bloodline. The rebels are rampant, and have captured your sister. Raising an army, you have tracked them down and now they attempt to stand and hold a remote castle. Your troops have surrounded the castle, and it is under seige. However, you soon hear reports of another smaller Rebel force marching to the south. You command some of the most powerful and versatile troops in the world, and could take on either of the two armies, but if the southern force manages to reach your flank, you will be cut off from supplies...

Decide;
What to do.
How to deal with the rebels in the event of their defeat.

Scenario #2

You are a field commander, tasked with blocking one of the major mountain passes that sprinkle the border between your country and it's neighbours. One day, you and your forces are ambushed as you do a routine sweep of the valley. The ambushers kill many of your men, but are forced to flee as reinforcements arrive, leaving their supplies behind and meaning that they will be forced to forage from the land - slowing them considerably. To have been caught off-guard in your own terrain is a great disgrace, and the enemy's numbers would not be enough to properly contend with your great army...

Decide;
What to do.
How to do it.

Scenario #3

Your faction is falling apart. Rebellion is rife, and the Emperor struggles to maintain authority over his splintering lands. You and a large force of troops are stationed at a small town which overlooks a gushing river. One day, you recieve word that the Emperor has been slain, and his sons are fighting over his reign. Fearfully, you are also informed that there is a huge force of one of the rebel sons heading for your town, presumably to eliminate any threat. You have one day to prepare for the attack, which will come from across the river. The capital city of your faction is a day away in the opposite direction, along with the son that you are currently loyal to - he is the fairest and deemed the most fit to rule. To battle the rebel son would be very difficult, although the river would likely be an effective defense against his greatly superior numbers...
