    Default Dictator?

    hi,

    ages ago, when birds still spoke and men was one with nature, i posted a topic in the PE rtw section asking what would be done with Dictators?

    then i was replied that you were still thinking about that.
    Now i ask you again!!
    Will you have Dictators and how will they work?

    ps: if you have them, i advice you using a 52 turns per year script, because with a 4tpy the guy will be dictator for 2 turns, and that would be a little stupid é...

    It's unclear what role dictators will play yet. Right now a bigger challenge is to have Romans have elections in the first place. As you know the system is totally not designed for that; nevertheless I've got some scripts in the dark corners of my laboratory, electing consuls out of a currently available pool of senators...

    the tranquility of servitude greater than
    the animating contest for freedom, go
    home from us in peace. We seek not
    your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch
    down and lick the hand that feeds you,
    and may posterity forget that ye were
    our countrymen."

    electing consuls is a nice feature.

    prrhaps you could make the consuls like the pope and the dictators the factionleaders?

    Dictators appearing all the time? Not too sure about that. I don't think dictators are that important a feature in the mod, as long as consuls get elected and are replaced every few turns, that will be creative and revolutionary enough.
