Shaded: Place Belgic Allies at Nervii and Eburones, replacing any Allies or Dispersed there. Add +6 Belgic Resources. Catuvolcus was an elderly king who ruled the Eburones jointly with Ambiorix and helped instigate the Belgae's anti-Roman revolt. As Ambiorix made his escape from Roman reprisal, Catuvolcus "could not endure the effort of either war or exile, and denounced Ambiorix with curses for initiating the plot. Then he killed himself by eating from the yew, a tree which is very widespread in Gaul and Germany." Situation: Caesar, seeing the danger to his supply lines made by the move from Ambiorix, quickly races south, wanting to secure his lines of supply before the rapidly approaching winter. It is clear to him now that Ambiorix won't fight against the fully assembled might of the Roman army, and getting him to fight in the forests of Belgae will not be an easy proposition.

Yo Corn. I don't know how much interest you have in this capability, but I could use a solid, and I'm willing to pay good for it. If you pass, Interested? EDIT: Nevermind. Rome will still have a chance if I take the event. Do as you like, brother. EDIT 2: ...but if you were to pass and fire the shaded Catuvolcus event for me, I would be so grateful as to provide, say, 10 resources? (Remember, this will also push the senate towards Uproar, which can help you with your legion-killing goal.) gutterdaughter fucked around with this message at 23:37 on Jul 29, 2016 |

That would pay for plenty of rallying/marching/battling. Let's see, I think you're right about not being able to get the win this Winter. I'll take the pass.

That puts the Belgae a rally away from victory and makes it less likely I can slap them down, especially since you'll be threatening victory too. Why do you want the Belgae strong? If they have any room to recover they're practically guaranteed a win without the Romans breathing down their necks (Runkhe himself admitted the Romans have to keep Belgian tribes dispersed to keep them off victory.) If I'm dealing with them then any attempt you make to snipe my legions hands them a win. Plus if you don't do anything about the current situation the Aedui can just suborn your troops away and murder Vercingetorix at their leisure.

Well at this point it basically comes down to CC's move. Either way I think a leader is going to be in bad shape. (As a general reminder to everyone there is an event per side that replaces a leader, but it's uncertain if they'll appear.)

Oh, poo poo, I thought we were further away. In that case........ ...sorry, my Belgic friend. I need another year. Command only, march from Carnutes - 3 of them to Atrebates, 3 of them to Veneti. Don't want to leave that capability open for Aedui to take, it's too nasty.

This organisation of justice gave the druids the potential to unify the otherwise quarrelsome Gallic chieftains. Situation: Seeing that, for now, Vercingetorix has not made any offensive action against the Aedui, the warbands that formed in the lands of the Bituriges disperse. Although this leaves Avaricum exposed, they expect the stout walls to drive back the meagre army of Vercingetorix currently in the area. Action Queue: -- Gutter Owl: 1st Eligible

That puts the Aedui at 5 allies+citadels, to Belgae's 5, Averni's 6, and Rome's 1. If the Aedui Rally+Suborn in Mandubii, that'll put them 6 to 5/5/1, which is an Aedui victory. Just a heads up.
