Hey! I just had a idea!
Maybe we can crucify PrinceScamp.
Give him time. With Kan' we are always sure that he will update eventually.
Also, he's a artist, a sledgehammer weilding artist but a artist nonetheless, if you give him enough time he will come up with a awesome update.

Yeah, it helps with the Wall Deconstruction Programmes.
Don't worry, I got about half of the gameplay section done yesterday, got some stuff to do today (insulating the basement, fun fun fun!) but I'll hopefully finish it off today for a brand spanking new update!
Edit: And thanks for the support there, RB
. I'm also a pretty lazy artist, until suddenly I go on a six hour splurge and come up with my greatest stuff to date. Then I'm out of it for another month.

Heart of the Republic - A Rome: Total War AAR
Part Twenty-Three
Two pieces of news came to the senate’s attention in late 232 BC. The first was that Egypt had declared war on Carthage, the second was that the Sarmatians had waged war on Rome. In the latter case, a Sarmatian army was rampaging across northern Italy!
While the Senate was in complete shock and uproar about yet another war on Republic borders, Consular StevieJey quickly began discussing the matter with his military advisors. He announced that, given the Republic’s excellent economic status, they would be able to give additional funds to the military, and aid both the Egyptians and northern Italy. StevieJey’s opponents - in particular senator Raisin Branius - quickly questioned whether this was going back on the previous promise of no military intervention in Africa. They were all assured that all that would be sent was financial aid, as well as a small contingent of special forces to assist the Egyptians.
The campaign in northern Italy was the opposite though, and though the Sarmatian army quickly withdrew their forces (it was believed the attack was only meant as a display of their military power) it would not lead to peace. Rome was united, and they demanded blood.
The army of the north
In charge of the campaign was PrinceScampey II. He carried on a heavy legacy from his father - a Hero of Rome, yet well known for his hatred of foreign people. His son - a newcomer to the Republic military - had not displayed his own beliefs, but it was noted that his army was “pure-Roman.” At the same time however, it was rumoured that the Senate had wished to provoke the image of the first PrinceScampey to induce fear into the Sarmatians. His army was formed and begun marching in 229 BC.
Elsewhere, things remained stable. In Gaul, general Nodikus defeated a large independent Gallic force, bringing stability to the region. The small village on the northern coast still remained unconquered, and the Roman commander had to cancel a march on the settlement - his men were too spooked by rumours of superhuman strength of the Gallic warriors and the horrific music heard from within the wooden walls to be effective in combat.
The Punic War continued to rage, though by now it was clear that the Republic had won. The isle of Palma fell in the winter of 230 BC to a small expeditionary force sent by Dellus and Killyouallus, though not actually led by them. It was more a political move than military - designed to show that an invasion of Iberia was within Rome’s grasp, and that few units would be needed. Of more symbolic importance though, was the final confirmation that the Republic’s navies ruled the western Mediterranean. Most of Carthage’s cities were under naval blockade, while their fleet was no longer a threat - and by most reports non-existent.
The blockade of Carthage
With the Republic in such a powerful position - both in military and economy - it was easy for the senators of Rome to sit back and bask in the glory of the past fifty years. As the consular reminded them though, they were at war in the north, west and south, and the friendly ties with the Iberian peninsula was falling apart. Spies and assassins had been discovered from many ‘friendly nations.’ The Republic would have to strengthen itself to deal with many threats, and not just beyond the borders…

It's been a while since the last update. How about a reminder of how the Republic is doing, and perhaps a screenshot of our lands?

I'm needing an update myself, so I'll do one tommorow. At the moment the second post does have a timeline and a map though

It's Elementary...
Is the invasion of Samarita a campaign of conquest or a punitive expidition?
Kan' Sharuminar
Fluffy
It is a war of retribution! I don't intend to take much land, just enough to annoy them and show Rome's power!

Can we loot and pillage everything as well?

Not yet
I hope so. Of course he may lose his first battle and be killed when his horse trips or something.

Damn Hawk Party senators.
Very likely you'll see a Captainus II come along at some time. Damn kids are coming of age all the time now, they grow up so fast!

What better way to make Rome a world power then to burn everything that doesn't belong to us?

...... Invade everything that doesnt belong to us would work better, more tax collection
