This man is one of the citizens of Iboshim and specifically he belongs to the oligarchy what makes him able to get the main charges of this city that was founded by western Phoenicians to control the trade of the northwestern Mediterranean as a redistributive market. A few generations later, the city and the island also received contingents of Punic population that extended the Carthaginian influence over the area what allowed Iboshim to become a production centre that exported its own goods. Nowadays, Iboshim is enough important to mint its own coins and its inhabitants, who strongly worship to the god Bes, stay proud of this magnificent city of strong walls and glorious acropolis that allows them to enjoy a prosperous life.

This man has been adlected (recruited) into the Senate. At various points in Rome's history, certain characters of equestrian status were chosen to fill vacancies in the Senate, when membership fell below the ordained number of members. Julius Caesar, as dictator, and the triumvirs adlected a number of men into the Senate, but this practice became most commonplace under the Emperor Vespasian, who quickly needed to appoint a number of high-ranking officials after the loss of senatorial members during the reign of Nero and the subsequent civil war.

Effects: no stat effects

Following our conquest of an Epirote city, members of the Aeacid house, the lineage of Pyrrhus himself, were captured and brought before our general. Fearing the humiliation of their royal house, the Epirote Assembly gathered thousands of silver drachmas as a ransom price. The general accepted the tribute and released the hostages, escorting them safely to their halls.

Effects: +1 Influence, +1 Management

Based in Rome, the Aediles are responsible for maintenance of public buildings, regulation of public festivals, and enforcing public order. There are two pairs of aediles. Two from the ranks of plebeians and the other are called aediles curules. The office of the curule aedile is open to plebeians and patricians, and they are considered curule magistrates.\nThe office is generally held by young men intending to follow the cursus honorum to a high political office, traditionally after their quaestorship, but before their praetorship. It's not a compulsory part of the cursus, and hence a former quaestor can be elected to the praetorship without having held the aedileship. However, it's an advantageous position to hold, demonstrating the aspiring politician's commitment to public service, as well as giving him the opportunity to hold public festivals and games.

Affected by Local Banditry: While not yet a significant threat, local bandits have begun to disrupt daily life with minor thefts and disturbances. The governor insists it’s all under control, after all, they only stole a few chickens this time.

Bandit Hangout: The bandits have truly settled in, and now the governor is struggling to remove them from the city.

Bandit Republic: The city has fallen completely under the control of local bandits, who have declared their independence from the governor’s rule. Now they collect taxes, enforce laws, and keep things "orderly."

Afraid to Veto: During his term as Tribunus Plebis this man has shown a hesitance to use the powers that are rightfully his by office, perhaps he fears to create unrest amongst the more powerful Optimates in the Senate.

Skips Meetings: Whether it be from intimidation or sheer laziness, this man has been cowed during his term as Tribunus Plebis into submission by the Optimates in the Senate. He rarely attended plebeian Councils, and when he did his participation was minimal.

Accepts Bribes: While he was serving as the Tribune of the Plebs, this man hardly deserved the title. His mockery of the legal machinery has become deplorable to all true Romans. He has been well and wholly bought by the Optimates of the Senate, and obeyed their every wish by promoting the legislation of the Nobilitas.

What the game says at each level

Aggressive Tribune: During his term as Tribunus Plebis this man revelled in his power. His use of the right of intercession, or "Veto", was rampant. He has earned a reputation as a champion of the plebs, fighting in the Senate for their rights against the greed of the wealthy Patricians. The Senate was not happy with his aggressive use of these powers, though, and he has made several enemies.

Very Aggressive Tribune: During his term as Tribune he used his full powers to gain every political advantage he could, and his enemies are growing more numerous by the day. If any should threaten this man, he has the authority to exercise capital punishment, for the Law states that to interfere with the business of a Tribune means death. The favourite punishment of radical Tribunes was to condemn their enemies to being hurled off the Tarpeian Rock.

Powerful Tribune: During his term as Tribunus Plebis, this Tribune grew more powerful, and has passed laws through the plebeian Council to further his legal and political goals. His use (or abuse to some) of this power is rocking the Senate at its very foundations, and further action can only lead to bloodshed.

Effects: no stat effects

Sparta was unusual among Greek city-states in that it maintained its kingship past the Archaic age. It was even more unusual in that it had two kings simultaneously, coming from two separate lines. According to tradition, the two lines, the Agiads and Eurypontids, were respectively descended from the twins Eurysthenes and Procles, the descendants of Heracles who supposedly conquered Sparta two generations after the Trojan War. The Agiad line was regarded as being senior to the Eurypontid line. Although there are lists of the earlier purported Kings of Sparta, there is little evidence for the existence of any kings before the middle of the 6th century BC or so. Spartan kings received a recurring posthumous hero cult like that of the Dorian kings of Cyrene.

Agitator: This man has a natural talent for public speaking, as he has a way of capturing an audience's attention, saying things that make people listen.

Tub-Thumper: Many are roused to action by his words, even if his speeches are coarse and unpolished to some ears.

Rabblerouser: This man has a true talent for argument and debate, but done in such a way that common folk can understand his speeches.

Demagogue: A master manipulator of public sentiment, this man can read a crowd's mood like a scroll and craft his words accordingly. His public speeches can transform a peaceful gathering into a raging crowd or put an end to civil unrest with equal ease, making him a powerful but unpredictable political force.

The summer of our fourth year has arrived and it does not come as a surprise that this man, who is an excellent athlete and also not campaigning this season, has decided to participate in the games. It is never an easy journey to Olympia, but the desire to gain the golden olive leaves of Zeus is a great enough reward to undertake the additional training and travel. Men from across the Hellenic world, from the Pillars of Herakles to the northern shores of the Euxeinos and even into deep Asia compete in the games, as long as they are free-born and of Hellenic ancestry. Olympia itself will be crowded with the throngs of competitors and spectators. The dust alone could be enough to keep some away, but not the hardy and those unafraid of the journey and more importantly the challenge to bring fame to their own and their city's name!

Effects: no stat effects

“Taras needs our protection!” the Basileus proclaims at every council meeting, even when no one asks. He’s convinced that every sunset over the Ionian Sea is a divine sign to reclaim it. Taras, the jewel of Magna Graecia, now subdued by the barbarians who call themselves Romans. The king dreams of its conquest, seeing his destiny connected to it and the foundation for a greater Epirote kingdom.

Effects: no stat effects

The kings of Sparta once ruled by their own example, with their spears and shields dictating the law of the land. Now, one among them seeks to revive this martial tradition, seeing a Peloponnesus united under Spartan rule. When told the Achaeans have a league, he scoffs: “So did children in the agora.” With this righteous war, he will see the banners of other cities lowered and the banners of Sparta rise once more above all. This. Is. Sparta’s Peloponnese, after all.

To the horror of this man, his right hand has been amputated due to a conflict with a rival of his in Iberia. This ignominious act has honoured his enemy who has obtained an important trophy and now, to the shame of this vexed man, he will no longer be able to be considered a warrior. He not only has been physically incapacitated but he has also lost a symbol of the utmost importance according to the local agonistic values.

What the game says at each level

Apraktos Athletes: The vast majority of competitors do not leave the stadium of Olympia in glory. Having competed and lost brings no shame to this man, but it did not make the long journey home any less difficult. His traveling companions have constantly talked about the techniques and training of his successful competitors and you can be sure that he is glad the trip home is now over.

Aprakteros Athletes: While it is no embarrassment to compete in the Olympiad and not win, falling on ones face is mildly humiliating. He was teased by his friends, and has borne it with good humor so far, but he will probably have to be reminded of the failure for the rest of his life, and it takes a very jovial person to keep from being affected in a negative way by something like this. \nThis man has embarrassed himself by his loss in the Olympics.

Panhypertatos Apraktos Athletes: Well, what can we say? Perhaps it is better to say very little. Some athletes return home with olive wreaths, and others in the knowledge that they did their best and came close to being victorious. This general unfortunately was the talk of Olympia, but not for his successes on the field. Few men who have dared to take the field there have so embarrassingly and overwhelmingly made fools of themselves as he has. Let us hope that word of his "exploits" does not reach his troops. \nThis man has made himself a laughingstock by his humiliating defeat in the Olympics.

An aquilifer is a senior signifer bearing the eagle standard of a Roman legion. The name derives from the type of standard, aquila meaning "eagle", which is the universal type used since 104 BC. Before that time, the wolf, boar, bull and horse were also used. The eagle standard is the most important possession of the legion and its loss is a terrible disgrace.

This man is "Chief of the Priests of Zalmoxis", a position holding great weight among the Getic people. He overseas religious ceremonies related to the worship of Zalmoxis at Kogainon and Sarmizegetusa. These large religious complexes required a great deal of oversight, as many visited the sites from all over the Getic regions, while the sites themselves consisted of multiple temples, each of which had to be overseen. The man tasked with overseeing these religious centers is considered, on account of his close association with Zalmoxis, the pre-eminent religious figure in the eyes of many of the Getae.

Effects: no stat effects · grants the epithet the Ardiaean

This man hails from the Ardiaei, a powerful Illyrian tribe, known for their pirate activities in the Adriatic Sea. They are located south of the Daorsi and north of the lacus Labeatum. Their former border with the Autariatae has brought them into conflict with the latter over salt springs, though the appearance of the Celtic Scordisci has reduced their rival to a miserable degree. The Ardiaei have considerable territorial ambitions and thus threaten their neighbours with warfare.

What the game says at each level

Army Condition: Few Wounded: The army is recovering from the last battle and has a few wounded soldiers to take care. Its walking speed will be slightly slowed to allow the small number of wounded men to keep up with the main army.

Army Condition: Large Amount of Wounded: The recent battle has left its mark on this army. The wounds received not only force the troops to slow down the march, but also affect their overall effectiveness in case of a new confrontation.

Army Condition: Huge Amount of Wounded: This army has sustained catastrophic casualties in the previous battle. With a great many wounded and not enough surviving officers to keep order, holding the line is a feat by itself. It’s not easy to keep spirits up when half the men are using their spears as walking sticks.

Army Condition: Pyrrhic State: This man has achieved victory at such tremendous cost that it is almost as bad as being defeated. As the soldiers mourn the death of their friends, and with the command structure in ruins, morale is at its lowest point.

What the game says at each level

Army Morale: Very High: The troops trusts its commander, its supply train, and each other without question. To survive the horrors of combat, the soldiers must have an invincible martial spirit, which can be attained only through military victory, discipline and hardship.

Army Morale: High: The troops trusts its commander, its supply train, and each other without question. This results from a combination of several factors, such as the quality of the general, the fortunes of recent campaigns, and the state of the army supply lines.

Army Morale: Standard: As long as the soldiers are reasonably well fed, have adequate clothing and shelter, and can expect to be paid more or less regularly, their morale might be considered adequate to the task at hand.

Army Morale: Low: The soldiers are hesitant, tired of campaigning and dreaming of their home, the fields they left untended, and the children they’ve never met. Complaints have started to rise, but they're still quiet enough that the officers can pretend not to hear them.

Army Morale: Very Low: Years away from home, recent defeats in battle or just the general terrible leadership have eroded the soldiers morale and discipline to a severe extent. These conditions directly relate to the troops' courage, confidence, discipline, enthusiasm, and willingness to endure the sacrifices and hardships of military duty.

Army Morale: Extremely Low: The soldiers have seen enough battle or suffered enough from starvation/disease to last several lifetimes, and now they are homesick, missing their wives and children. Every good General knows that no matter how great his victories are, they can only command as far as the troops want to go.

Army Morale: Shattered: The soldiers have been completely worn down by starvation/disease, loses in battle, too many years in hostile territory, ineffective leadership or lack of belief in the general capabilities among the senior officers, which has eroded their morale and discipline.

Effects: no stat effects · grants the epithet Asina

While patrolling the waters of the Messina strait between Italy and Sicily, Gnaeus Cornelius Scipio received the information that Lipara, in the Lipari Islands, was about to change to the Roman side. Eager to secure such an important port and to gain glory for himself, he rushed to the islands without considering security and was trapped with his fleet in the harbor by the Carthaginian admiral. Lacking naval warfare experience, the crews panicked and escaped to land, leaving the ships unattended and Scipio was captured. He was later released from captivity, but his misfortune earned him the pejorative surname Asina ("ass", literally "female donkey", in Latin), given by his political opponents.

Plato himself suffered from this fate.\nToichoruchoi: steal by digging through an adjacent building's wall\nBalantiotomoi: pick pockets, or in an exact translation those who would cut off the purse's strap and run off with the purse\nThis character has gained an Astynomos and his forces to police the city. However, this may have varied effects on the populace, ranging from approval to outright revolt as people consider their city either safe or a dangerous place to live in.

Effects: no stat effects · grants the epithet the Atintanian

This man hails from the Atintanioi, a tribe that is often counted as one of the northernmost Epirote tribe, though they may actually be Illyrians. Like the Amantes and Bylliones, they adapted many cultural and structural elements of the Greeks, thus organising themselves in a koinon. At several points, they have consituted one of the major koina of Epeiros though repeated conflicts with the Illyrian kingdoms to the north detach them from their southern brethren.

Effects: +1 Influence

Great Strategos! Once more, you have expanded our mighty empire, reclaiming Seleukeia from those who dared to steal it. Ptolemaios Soter generously allowed Seleukos to keep Babylon, but he grew too greedy, seizing more than he was owed. Now, the tables have turned. The riches of Seleukeia shall be the first of many reparations, paid in full to the rightful heirs of Alexandros’ legacy!
