People of Dal Raida did nothing to you, they are surely inocent , but it is a Roman manner to kill inocent... Just remeber that Caesar did the same thing at Avaricum, when he killed 120 000 INOCENT GAULS! You killed 70 000 inocent Celts
But, Celts aren't criminals
You, Romani, who killed their brothers everywhere accros around the world are true criminals
Celts are way from dirty, I should remind you they invented SOAP
And there is nothing bad they wanted to liberate their British brothers
Well, Franks, Persians, Vandals, German tribes, Rebels, Christians,... Will that be too much for Romani?
We'll see
I wish you luck against all of them except the Celts
Nice AAR, anyway
I hereby move that forthwith all Roman projectiles be officially known as 'Latin delights'.volley upon volley of veruta and lancea and sagitto and god knows what other Latin delights
Great update!

i m glad and want to congratulate you on your sucess against the vandals (crushing 6000 of them is excellent as well as weaken their morale too) and as for the franks i suspect they are fighting against a people called the Saxons who were also our enemy and you manage to beat them just after your proclaimation of Augustus and i think the frankish and the saxons beast are fighting their heads off for a few cattle i guess
for your army it seems your greatest expense is your army as well as overstretch which you had already noticed, i strongly suggest that you MUST finish off the celts as soon as possible as well as starting your campaign against the berbers in north africa (to get some money as well as taxing them creating a new source of income) which will save your worries on the two small fronts if you manage to destory them as well as allocating troops to fronts that is desperately needed espicially the front agains the Quadi and the goths
(you might as well if your defensive front is sucessful you can strike the goths to their heart by conquering dacia our long lost province which Aurelian had been forced to abandon it nearly a century ago due to internal strife and civil war)
eventhough your army are victories in every engagement but your causulties are still exist from 100 to 200 men i think that by station armies from other fronts like the british and the north africa you can have a flexable amount of troops in the area as well as a backup if you lose against those smelly babarians....
i suggest you should send your diplomat to the persian empire and investagate how is the war between them and the "far" easterners doing we "might" have a chance to attack the persians if timing is right espicially after Julian itself had finsh pacifying asia minor and implement pagan reforms
note: remember offense is the best defense according to a strategist sun tzu from the far east in the land of Seres or "silk" a land beyond the great ganges river where even the megas alexanderos had stop centuries ago and it is "rumoured" that the land of Seres had even more riches beyond what rome itself can be "one" of the smaller cities there

Oh give it a rest lol ... they are the enemies of Rome, and when Rome demands them destroyed, they are destroyed, regardless of whether they are innocent or guilty, they must all die alike!
Thanks for the compliment.
Haha, yeah, they have some pretty neat names for their projectiles. Better still are some of the inscriptions and engravings on some of them.

Most impressive victories.
The enemies of Julianus are lucky, that he hasn't made much movement to attack their lands. But if we would want to see the destruction of Julianus's empire, and it's nigh-invincible armies, we would have to bring all the other great empires to wage war against him (including the Gupta and Seres)
I think this just may be my favorite AAR of all time!
Oh but they do, they are just too ashamed to ask for it They pretend to fight and resist, sure enough, but once we bring to them the benefits of Roman law and civilization, they never look back!
Thanks, I just can't wait till I sap these tribes of all their strength so they stop attacking me. Peace would be nice.
True, the only thing that worries me is that these stupid bordering tribes keep throwing their manpower against me, when pretty soon I reckon the hordes of the steppes are going to fall on them, and without any armies, are going to pretty much walk all over them.
Cheers!
Also, I decided to make the images slightly larger again as I was unsatisfied with the level of detail in the previous update.
I am also thinking of changing the name of this AAR to something slightly more mature and suitable, I was thinking something along the lines of Ivlianvs: Restitvtor Orbis? or something along those lines.
Any suggestions would be welcome.

There were no auto-resolves, just didn't want to bog down the episode with needless screenshot of my outflanking rebels and them tearing them to shreds. I destroyed them because I was young and naive and needed the money.
Great!
Seems like you aren't gonna keep the pictish settlement, considering, that your demolishing the buildings. As integrating that settlement to the empire after all that would be madness, both practically and historically.
My dear friends. It is with great regret that I have perhaps to to give you the last update for at least ten days, as I am off to take part in an experiment which requires my utmost isolation, which sadly means I cannot continue updating this until said experiment is over, a good ten days from now.
And thus, I give to you, The Shape of Things to Come. See you all in ten days time! Enjoy!

excellent! Though why do you compare Gauls to Germanics? even Romans knew that they aren't one and same group of tribes. Besides, they are part of the empire, and have so been for at least 400 years.
Ok then, I think we can wait for your return. have fun!
Thanks!
I wasn't aware that I compared the two, If you are referring to my reference to Vercingetorix, I mean the one here on the forum, which is always happy when barbarians tear my men to shreds lol
EDIT: Sorry Scutarilegion, my previous response was a bit harsh, I received some bad news and took it out on you, my apologies.

No, I am happy only when Celts defeat you, I support you on all other fronts
Sorry you won't update in the next 10 days, I am gonna read the update tomorow, as I don't have time no
Anyways, good luck with the experiment, hope to hear you soon
Beautiful AAR so far, my friend!
EDIT: I decided to read it after all
Great victories agains Alemani, sorry your general died
That was a great way to protect yourself from the Vandals and I think the Franks won't argue
I am sure those rebelions will finish quickly
Congratulations once again, Knonfoda
