In my absence, Zeph has full access to my bank and cash on hand for this turn, for the purpose of bribewarring.

Deal between zeph and empi
I propose new tickets, zeph has the right to use my bank for bribes in my abscence (dont be wastefull or trolly pls) i vote NAY on the consul ticket-ship. (zeph may do proposals in my abscence for this turn)
Should zeph get dual consulship, he makes dictator, but he does proposals while i do deployments that he and empi must vote AYE on, and they can in no way vote NAY unless i wish to, and they can in no way use bribes, even indirectly.

In return for my bribes and getting neither consulship nor dictator, Concinnatores and Optimatium are obliged to (defensively) protect my faction from persuasions by persuading the attempting faction (aswell as counterbribes if the situation is reasonable). This applies also for the following situation (where I am A) A persuades B, C protects B by persuading A to protect him, therefore Concinnatores and Optimatium persuade C's senators. This lasts for 3 turns. This lasts until and including turn 20.

Libertatem cant vote at all in turn 17 unless populares and commercium allow it, in turn it will get dictatorship as soon as possible while the authoratiy will stay limited only to libertatem, commercium, and populares. populares/commercium both get stronger say

Furthermore, I consider that NWE must be destroyed

as a sigh of commitment to the alliance, libertatem will donate populares 7 talents, which may be used for winning the bribe war

Battle of Cirta

Dictator Flaminius Pisentus & Gaius Julius (Envelopment)
(2 legion +3 veterans+ 8 command +1 reform)=17 strength
Jugurtha (Balanced)
(8 Armies)=8 strength
Battle Roll: 15+9-2=22
Result: Crushing Victory

Although heavily outnumbered, Pisentus is an excellent commander with many victories while Julius is a hardened commander in his own right serving in many famous battles.Not far from Cirta the Roman army was attacked by Jugurtha's forces.
Pisentus, in command of the cavalry and forming the rearguard, made contact with the enemy first.
He counter-attacked in close order and charged his cavalry by squadrons. Meanwhile, Gaius Julius formed the legionaries around him into battle lines and engaged Jugurtha's forces too. Hoping to score an easy victory, Jugurtha decided on a fient, and called out that he had just killed Gaius Julius. For a short while his lie was successful and the Romans were thrown into confusion, but Pisentus, who had returned from his own successful pursuit of the enemy, then threw his forces against Jugurtha rear led by Bocchus. Meanwhile, Julius had restored order to his troops and resumed his attack which routed them easily.

The Romans resumed their march on Cirta. When they approached the capital it surrendered to them unconditionally.
Jugurtha continued his war against Rome reverting to guerilla warfare, but unfortunately for Jugurtha he was killed by Bocchus, his Mauritanian retainer. As a reward, he is granted the puppet Kingdom of Mauretania and Numidia is split between him and Rome.


Roman Casualties
Few

Numidian Casualties
Massive



Flaminius Pisentus gains 4 influence and 4 popularity, as well as the honorific cognomen "Numidicus"
Flaminius Pisentus gains 1 veteran legions, Legio ? +1 more legions if given land
Romans love victory -1 unrest
Rome gains 25 Talents in War Spoils



2d Siege of Lissus
Herius Quinctius (Envelopment)Tactical Counter!
(2 provincial legions +2 legion+ + 3 veterans+ 3 command +1 reform)=14 strength
Perseus (Direct Charge)
8 armies+6 command =14 strength
Battle Roll: 16+3-2=17
Result: Victory

The first phase of the Macedonian campaign to isolate Illyria lasts for two months. Herius Quinticius placed 4,400 latins under Marcus Popillius(a relative of Laenas) to guard Lissus. Perseus marched into Illyria and offered rewards to the garrison if they surrendered, but the garrison responded by bombarding the Macedonian positions. The Macedonians then began to heavily bombard the fortress but this came to no effect. After becoming convinced that Lissus would not be taken, Perseus left 18,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry under a certain Polemon and withdrew with his main army. He withdrew from the siege to Dyrrachium ( a city arguably under his own protection) where he pillaged the area in rage and to satisfy his soldiers.

Meanwhile. crossing a forgotten mountain road far east, Quinticius took the main army under his command and fell upon the Macedonian raiders with a great warcry and destroyed them before they could form up into a proper phalanx making them easy prey. An ignominious way for the mighty Macedonian army to fall. Perseus flees and regroups but his situation is very dire, the defeat has lost him his potential allies abroad and rome has regained its foothold in Epirus.

Roman Casualties
1 Legion

Macedonian Casualties
Heavy

Herius Quinctius gains 4 influence and 4 popularity for victory
Herius Quinctiuss gains a veteran legion, Legio Illyricorum+1 more legions if given land

No unrest lost or spoils gained in defense wars

3rd Macedonian War returns to the deck



Battle of Lauron

Publius Cornelius Scipio Aemilianus (Flanking)
(5 legions +3 veteran+4 command+ 1 reform)=16 strength
Viriathus (Balanced)
9+5 =14 strength
Battle Roll: 6+2-2=6
Result: Defeat

Viriathus, evidently extremely confident assembles his army in an open field along the coast near Valentia blocking Scipios path southwards.
Many of his forces are equipped with looted roman panoply as an imitation of cohorts with an Iberian flair.
Scipio and the legates consult, believing it to be a trap, for rarely did these iberians offer to a set piece battle so they decided to form up and engage.
Scipio, although old, decided to dismount and join his strengthened right flank. As the lines clashed the romans did win upon the right but became encircled as the center and left began to rout.
Scipio was surrounded, with his guards defending him to the last. A javelin strikes Scipio in the side and he dies not soon after from the mortal wound. Viriathus gains great prestige for defeating and killing a Cornelii, for even these barbarians know their name and believe them to be the highest tribe of Rome, and hail Viriathus as King. With this Rome is utterly routed from Hispania and abandons any pretense of control.

Roman Casualties
Legio Libertas
1 legion (optimate)

Lusitani Casualties

Assassination Attempt
Consul Glaucia was attacked by a hooded man in the streets, narrowly dodging his blade before stripping his toga off throwing it at him and running.


1d6 = (3) = 3 Assassination attempt fails but perpetrator is not caught


Another attack is attempted upon Tertius Fabius but he manages to evade ...
