Moves

Helius No move was posted. 7 more points needed to finish the military/economic region in Tarsus (if you don't choose when it's finished I will roll either you get a E or a M region) Rogue General M: [3] Nope, the greeks still refuse to join the Horde. But a corrupt politician promises an upwards change for a future attempt. +1 on attacking/annexing Chersonesos again. E: [3] Development in Crimea is finally over! [1] Another economic powerhouse shall rise in Scithya... later. (1/10 M- the Protoslavic Tribe) 3+1/2=2- no effect N: [6] EPIC MUSIC! A grand vessel has risen in the Eastern Euxinus! +1 N move +1 Denari High Fist M: Siege of Syracuse [5]-[5] Though the Bruttii still care about Sicily, their homeland problems are more prioritary. The first clash becomes a draw. [3]-[1] Then the Mercenaries begin to slash though the Roman lines! [5]-[2] A last charge and the defense of the city is obliterated! [11]-[8] Syracuse was conquered! E: [6] The attempt to change the already almost-half developed Agrigentum goes well and also generates a bonus point. (5/10 E-Agrigentum) NOTE:-it was being developed M and you wanted E so I changed it by applying one of the proposals. (5/10 M- Syracuse) +1 E move. N: [4] Finally, a fleet arrives in the Central Mediteranean. (3/3 fleets) +1 Denari Ikaroqx You only have 1 additional M move (2 moves on each domain would be too OP, I also made what I considered prioritary) M: [2] Tarentum keeps the legionaries away and no ringleaders of the revolt would speak. [2] And the city is still under rebel control... E: [6] The change takes place with success! (in one move) Rhegion- E->M Syracuse was lost. +1 E move N: [1] The ship attempts to travel to the Central Mediteranean but it's caught in a storm! [6] Which completely blows it to pieces. You have lost one fleet. [2] Also no other fleet shall rise at the docks. +1 Denari Lord of Cats M: Siege of Masallia (Which one is it? The fourth or the fifth?) [3]-[5] Yet another attempt to slaughter the Roman presence in Massalia may fail again? [5]-[5] A draw! Is there chance? [2]-[2] No... [10]-[12] Masallia remains under Julii's control. (I should change the rules about draws) E: [3] The workers are trying to troll the warchief as only one last bit is needed to finish the development! (9/10 M-Lungdunum) N: Check the Second Battle of the Mediteranean. General Maximus M: [4] Arettium was taken with heavy casualities as the Etruscan rebels haven't lost their battle spirit! E: [6] Patavium has risen from poverty. Now a flourishing economic center will take its place. (I didn't listen for 2 reasons: Ariminium is developed; you were already developing Patavium) +1 E move N: see the Second Battle of the Mediteranean. +1 Denari Rhinelander M: [6] More and more conquests! +1 M move E: [6] Development is already finished! Gods may be blessing you! +1 E move N:- +2 Denari Lord of Shadows M: [2] Rhodes may be a small island but its men's courage is enough to push the invaders away. E: [5] Half of the E development is done. (5/10 E) +1 for developing again N: - no move was made AGAIN NobleWoman M: [1] The Epirotes watched Macedon's movements and ambushed Olympia's army. She's been taken prisoner and barely escaped back to Pella. -1 for attacking again. E: [4] Only one more bit... (9/10 M- Sardis) N: [1] The fleet is caught in a terrible storm! Will it escape? [4] Unfortunately, not. The fleet was destroyed. (2/3 fleets) [2] Another fleet attempts to sail to Cyprus but the wind isn't strong enough. 1+2/2=2- no effect !Lenin Cat!

(5/10 M- Arsamosata) N: [1+1=2] No other fleet is built by the always drunkard Armenians. Theotian M: [4+1=5] instead of being killed, the BBQ ringleaders join you and bring a new region to your feet. E: [3] Development continues +1 for trying again. (7/10 E- Batavorum) N: [1-1=0] Disaster strikes! NO N MOVE THIS TURN! Sleeping Bear M:[4] More of the Iberian Peninsula is seized by the rising kingdom. [1] The assault is met with a strong resistance. The Balearic Slingers are trying to sink the fleet. [2] Fortunately, they fail. E: [1] Development starts more than bad. Strikes are filling the streets. (1/10 M) -1 for developing again. N: [3] Another fleet attempts to cross the strait but an unexpected storm keeps it in the bay. [3] So does the other.

The Second Battle of the Mediteranean

The Julii admiral ,Marinus, was watching "Fast and Furious" for the 5th time in his personal cabin when a sailor opened the door. "Sir, we are under attack by the foolish Gauls again!" "Huh, I won't even get up for this. Last time we destroyed them!" Little did he know that Temerarix, the Gaulish admiral, has aknowledged that many boats were lost by the Roman fleet in the last clash and no effort to replenish them was made. Gauls-Romans [5]-[2-1] The first rain of barbarian arrows sunk many of the Biremes. Marinus finally gets up to see what happens. [2]-[5-1] He orders that a massive ramming towards the Gaulish warships, which seems to succeeds. [1]-[5-1] Temerarix tries to find a scheme of attack but an enemy rain of arrows almost hits boat. [3]-[3-1] Several of the Gaulish ships surrender the Roman fleet, hoping to deal the last blow! [3]-[3-1] A storm of pebbles strikes the Julii and a cloud of smoke covers the water. Is it over? [14]-[13] Yes! The Roman fleet is defeated! Marinus rows home on a piece of wood. +1 Denari to Lord of Cats; -1 for any battles to his fleet (damaged)

So, the war is won, Ivan. Will we continue?

Or you could attack Africa if you want.

[Rhinelander]

M: attack coast in morocco
E: Build economic region south of the military region in morocco.

[General Maximus]

Flavius Julius continues to attack the unwashed barbarians of the Arverni, this time turning north from Massalia to besiege the important supply post just behind the Alps. The news of defeat at the sea reaches Arretium, and Marinus is disgraced and demoted when he arrives at the port, already half-dead. Lucius Julius immediately orders the construction of another fleet.

OOC: M - Attack the province north of Massalia.
N - Build a new fleet at Arretium.
E - No move here.

[Lord of Cats]

Military move: attack Massalia again.

[Sleeping Bear]

M: Use the Mediterranean fleet to attack the northern strait of Gibraltar.

MOVES

Lord Of Shadows: M:[3] Your assault on the Greek Island State isn't quite enough, the peasants push the men to a stand still, with slaughters on both sides. E: [5+1-1=5] Despite the fact that many of your workers are left hungry, they strive through it, and leave you with a grand city with bustling markets and flourishing fields. N:[4] Despite low winds, your oars compensate. Ivan M: [4] - [6] A miserable start for the Brutii, with many Marksmen lay on the ground dead. [5] - [6] Attempting to compensate with a charge of the spears, The opposing Carthaginian wall of spears is too large to topple [5] - [3] The Brutii attempt to make a last stance as their Calvary attempts to flank the enemy succeeds [6] - [6] All out carnage is wreaked upon both forces, giving end to a bloody conclusion [20] - [21] A Pyrrhic victory for the Carthaginian Forces, their shields are scarred and their swords stained with putrid Roman Blood Brutii Lost, Carthage Wins E: None Posted N: [1] As you are building, the unnoticed creak turned in to a ripple and eventually a snap that sent your men hurdling in to the Mare Nostrum, drowning thousands of Romans! -1 to the next time you build a navy. Rhinelander M: [5] A valiant victory, the natives bow before you as their sovereign. E: [2-1=1] The development was going bad from the get-go, but with the pang of a food shortages, Hunger strikes prevent your work. With many not working, there is no safety supervisors and all the building crumble a they're being made, this is a sad day as many are injured. -1 to the Next time you develop a region. N: None Posted Maximus M:[6] Your Conquest is a renown success, and your victory will be told for aeons to come. +1 M move. E: No Move N: [4] Your fleet is a small one but it is a fleet, nonetheless. LOC M: Siege Of Massalia [3] - [1] Apaling start for the Julii. [2] - [2] The soldiers are stuck in a vice, none can move! [3] - [2] The Gauls have the Gaul (old pun I know)to flank, yet they succeed! [1] - [1] The end has atrocious tactical mistakes on both sides lead to a bloody one. [9] - [6] Julii Lost, Gaul Win! E:[5-1= 4] With a grand opening, your wealthy city is finished, but the food shortage means no benefits are made to your next move N: The Siege succeeds, in the name of Gaul and their Gods! High Fist M: [2] The Scipii Family has very well trained army and manage to repel your attack E: [6-1=5] Construction of the Economic city does well. N: None Posted Theotian M: [6] The siege is a enough to strike awe in to all, your General's Finess is excellent and your troops are well armed. +1 M move. E: [2-1=1] Your Architects are too weak to go to work, all the markets collapse in to themselves and crush many people -1 to developing a city next turn N:[1] Likewise, you had to resort to damp wood as all the nice wood was burned in a recent forest fire, unfortunately, the wet-wood fleet sinks when it is being constructed! Rogue General M: [6+1] Your victory literally flattens them, the general was so confident he would win, he pushed a boulder down and decimated the opposition. +1 M move. E:[4-1=3] The Economic City is going good. +1 if you want to finish it next turn. N: [1] The Navy is an absolute disaster, killing many. -1 if you want to build another fleet. [4-1=3] Your supplies are too low to build another, but there seems to be a second shipment soon. +1 if you want to build another fleet next turn. Sleeping Bear M:[3] The attack on Gibraltar is halted, a chain is pulled up at the docks, barely missing it, the fleet stops +1 if you attack that region again. E: [6-2=4] Your construction has slowed, the strikers have stopped protesting due to malnutrition but doesn't work anyway. So the richer workers work on it, but to be honest, they aren't that good, so the building goes on a steady pace. N:[5] The sailing goes without a hitch.

Apologies for mistakes, if I have left anything else, tell me ASAP. Also Battles I accidentally did them as 4 instead of 5.
Who likes my Game Hosting?

Also Ivan, would you mind helping with the Map, please?

[Kirila the Kitten]

It's more than great Librarian, but I think you forgot my moves that I told you
Your test was successful, you can GM this game while I am gone.

And the [6] is actually an additional move, please fix that.

[Lord of Shadows]

So Librarian is a temporary GM? Ok, I have no problem with that. Just give me good rolls and I will be more than grateful.
@Librarian
It would probably look better if you could use a font (Comic Sans, for example ).

E: /

[Rhinelander]

[Librarian]

Sorry, I will fix it,

@Everyone, thanks! I didn't know it'd be this stressful.

[Librarian]

Updated

[General Maximus]

Map please. I wouldn't be able to analyze the situation and post appropriate moves without a map, because this move was so complex.

But I guess...I managed to take the province north of Massalia, but lost Massalia itself and my capital?
