Summary of event so far *Rome** goes to war with the city of Veii. The king's son, Sextus Tarquinius, leads the army in a raiding campaign that returns with...
9th Argument of the game. Sextus meets the soldiers of Veii in open battle! (This will be a straight up roll based on victory conditions which I of course know...
YES AND Sextus finding the tide of battle sweeping against the Romans shows his true character and flees the field of battle. A man without virtue in some...
Oh I like this it sounds really likely! It loses the military victory point for Eric as well as the virtue one. Looks like the king could be coming down ...
Time to resolve this. We have two arguments. Chris says that the Veientes beat the Romans lead by Sextus Tarquin. John says YES AND Sextus himself flees the...
You are the most active player so I say why not keep the initiative with you. The other players can take it back by jumping in with arguments. Chris -- Hamster...
OK, I want to jump in. I spend one coin to take the initiative. (that's how this works, right?) The news of the defeat causes a panic in Rome. We have no...
You have successfully taken the initiative! I say that argument is okay and will trigger a political dice rolling contest with King Tarquin (who likely won't...
NO. Honorius rises in the assembly to speak. He tells the people that duty and honor require the defense of the city, not the overthrowing of a king for a...
Sounds pretty strong. Tony is trying to pull of a coup and if your arguments succeeds you'll be doing the same just in a more underhanded (but honorable!)...
Time to resolve the turn. Tony says Brutus takes charge (oaky) John disagrees and says NO! Honorius and the nobles organize the defense of Rome and send a...
Tarquin has lost power in Rome but he is still in the city and has done nothing illegal. I hope he doesn't take this laying down! Honorius and the nobles have...
Okay nothing from Eric so I will throw in an argument. 13th argument of the game The army of Veii advances on Rome and places the city under siege. The...
... The Romes ... Veii!!! ... Given the military defeat and political disarray in Rome, I'd rate this as likely. (Is that the right term for the system?) I'll...
I think this is also likely. I'm going to throw down another coin (Chris had used 5 of his coins now) to declare this an important point. One of them WILL...
Time to do the rolling. Chris has argued for the forces of Veii to advance to Rome and place it under siege. John has sent out his character, Honorius, to...
Honorius' death buys Rome time, but breaks the fragile unity of the nobility - who would much squabble with each other and indulge their lusts than anything as...
Wow! This is practically Byzantine in complexity. I don't see why he'd turn to the other Etruscans when the Veientes are at the gates of Rome. I didn't make...
Okay time to resolve the turn. We have two arguments. John says that King Tarquin cuts a deal with the Etruscans to put him back in power (okay). Chris...
So I'm now back after three weeks of a really nasty flu, followed by getting caught at work. Did I miss anything? Sounds like I should submit something after...
Wow! That took me by surprise! Hmmm. I guess I'm going to take the wimpy way out and found the Republic. Much as I'd like to be King, Brutus is all about the...
Eric - Here is a summary of the events of the game. As you can see a lot has happened. SUMMARY OF TARQUINIUS SUPERBUS: FOR THE GLORY OF ROME 1. *Rome** goes to...
That was a fun game to follow. Kudos to all who submitted an argument. Chris, you should put this in like short game payable download. This is a fun game....
