Encourage Expansion task events

id

The Deceitful Umbrians


[SCOPE.sChar('expansion_encourager').GetName] lumbers up to the podium to talk on the Umbrii.

'Esteemed senators, some of you may dismiss them as little more than hill-dwelling sheep herders, but they intervened on the side of the Samnites, then our sworn enemies, only a few years past. They have wrestled with the Etruscans for hundreds of years, yet they still stand. Can we allow such a foe to be underestimated?'


 
id

The Romano-Sabine Feud


[SCOPE.sChar('expansion_encourager').GetName] speaks on our long feud with the Sabines.

'Every Roman knows of the abduction of the Sabine women by our stalwart predecessors, their marriages, and their gambit to avoid war between their fathers and husbands - but do they know that the Sabines colluded with the Samnites in our recent wars? The time has come to finish what was started and absorb the Sabines completely!'


 
id

Historic Wars


[SCOPE.sChar('expansion_encourager').GetName] talks of our republic's military traditions.

'Our ancestors fought valiantly to protect the city of Romulus from our domineering neighbors - we should recall what became of these invaders; the Sabines, whose women we carried off to Rome; Etruscan king Lars Porsena, who Horatius Cocles valiantly threw back from the Pons Sublicius! May they never again dare to threaten the Servian walls!'


 
id

The Jealousy of the Samnites


Today [SCOPE.sChar('expansion_encourager').GetName] delivers a polemic against the Samnites.

'Samnium once more threatens our gates, concealing their ill intentions behind Trojan platitudes. How many wars must we fight, and win, before they submit? How many more men, proud Romans, need die before our southern border is safe? No more I say! The disgrace at the Caudine Forks must be cleansed once and for all with Samnite blood!'


 
id

The Etruscan Threat


[SCOPE.sChar('expansion_encourager').GetName] rises, clearing [SCOPE.sChar('expansion_encourager').GetHerHis] throat vigorously.

'The Etruscan city states have proved time and again their hostility to Rome; at every turn they collude with the Umbrians and Samnites like snakes. Our great victory at Lacus Videmo has revealed their weakness - they are ripe for invasion!'


 
id

Italian Destiny


[SCOPE.sChar('expansion_encourager').GetName] calls for silence in the Curia.

'Roma has prospered by placing her interests first, and the gods have shown their love for her. We are poised to rule all Italia, if our petty disputes can be put aside and our strength rallied to the cause. If she only had the courage to seize the moment, everlasting glory and honor would be the least of her rewards!'


 
id

The Might of Rome


[SCOPE.sChar('expansion_encourager').GetPraenomen], proud [SCOPE.sChar('expansion_encourager').GetDaughterSon] of the noble [SCOPE.sChar('expansion_encourager').GetFamilyDisplayName], speaks in the Curia Hostilia.

[SCOPE.sChar('expansion_encourager').GetHerHis] tales of our ancestor's greatest victories exhort the senate to match their achievements, before, with twinkling eye, [SCOPE.sChar('expansion_encourager').GetSheHe] delivers a heartfelt appeal to ensure our enemies never be given an opportunity to threaten the sacred republic of our ancestors - to ecstatic applause and much thrashing of togas.


 
id

Auspices of Jupiter


To ensure support for war, an official auspices from Jupiter Optimus Maximus, the patron of good faith and greatest of the gods, is recommended by the fetials.

Assurance of victory will hearten the soldiery and buoy the people's enthusiasm.

While there is no doubt that Roma will be granted favorable auguries, it would not bode well if the priests returned with an inconclusive or, Jove forbid, pessimistic result...


 
id

Auspex Returns


Event trigger.png The below description is one of several available for this event.

Imperative auguries were conducted on the Capitoline on the first clean morning.

After a tense wait, [ROOT.GetCountry.GetRulerTitle] [ROOT.GetCountry.GetRuler.GetPraenomen] receives an inscrutable Chief Augur [SCOPE.sChar('rm_auspices_target').GetName] in the Comitium. [SCOPE.sChar('rm_auspices_target').GetPraenomen] slowly steps forward and raises [SCOPE.sChar('rm_auspices_target').GetHerHis] palms to hush the thronging crowd.

With palpable glee, [SCOPE.sChar('scope:rm_auspices_target').GetSheHe] finally bellows, 'Indicant!' The smiles of the crowd turn into rapturous celebation, the echoing cries of which can be heard on every hill in Rome. [ROOT.GetCountry.GetRulerTitle] [ROOT.GetCountry.GetRuler.GetPraenomen] reverently bows before the mouth piece of Jupiter.


 
id

Surrounded by Vultures


[SCOPE.sChar('expansion_encourager').GetName] brings urgent news.

'[SCOPE.sC('rm_hyena_1').GetName] and [SCOPE.sC('rm_hyena_2') .GetName] are plotting the demise of Rome!' Approaching hysterics, [SCOPE.sChar('expansion_encourager').GetPraenomen] squeals of their alliance, aiming to carve up our lands between themselves. There is little evidence for an invasion, but the senate has been successfully carried to frenzy.


 

Pan-Italic Congress task events

id

Pan-Italic Congress Organised


Many private villas were donated for hosting and discussing business confidentially with our esteemed guests.

We are optimistic the occasion will create a sense of friendship and cooperation across the Italic states - all of whom are equally threatened by Gaulish tribes to the north, ambitious Greeks to the south, and the long arm of Punic influence.

All that remains is to send out the invitations and await the responses.


 
id

Pan-Italic Congress Invitation


Event trigger.png The below description is one of several available for this event.

Envoys have arrived in [ROOT.GetCountry.GetCapital.GetName] claiming to represent the city of Roma and inviting us to a 'Pan-Italic Congress', an event for all Italic tribes of note to treat together and improve our ties.

They await confirmation of our attendence with some anxiety, the Roman's have staked their reputation, and pride, on the congress' success.

We must decide whether or not we will entertain this suspicious posturing...


 
id

Pan-Italic Congress Convenes


Event trigger.png The below description is one of several available for this event.

We finally received responses from the invited states, the majority accepting our invitation.

This is a new precedent for Italic relations, mirroring a style of diplomacy hitherto found only in the Greek city states of old, a fact that [ROOT.GetCountry .GetRulerTitle] [ROOT.GetCountry.GetRuler.GetName] does not keep quiet about.


 
id

Diplomatic Chicanery


Event trigger.png The below description is one of several available for this event.

The despicable Romans have been attempting to undermine our great friendship with [SCOPE.Custom('rm_1_diplo_chic_desc_scopes')].

Luckily their ham-fisted attempts to drive a wedge between were quickly thwarted, not least by the incompetence of the Roman Consul.


 
id

Dialogue with Rome


Event trigger.png The below description is one of several available for this event.

It is our turn for a private audience with the diplomats of the Romans who have been doing the rounds of the various attending countries.

After all that suspense, our delegates report that the Romans wasted no time, eagerly broaching an alliance of mutual gain against our common enemies, citing the great strength that our peoples could wield together.

Our delegates were quite taken aback by their keenness, and await our response.


 
id

Talks with [SCOPE.sC('congress_target').GetName] Conclude


Event trigger.png The below description is one of several available for this event.

Our envoy has returned from the [SCOPE.sC('congress_target').GetAdjective] delegates, excitedly revealing their willingness to form an alliance and the great things our nations can achieve together.

[SCOPE.sC('congress_target').GetName] may even prove useful, for the time being...


 
id

[SCOPE.sC('friendly_delegate_1').GetAdjective]-[SCOPE.sC('friendly_delegate_2').GetAdjective] Friendship


The delegates of [SCOPE.sC('friendly_delegate_1').GetName] and [SCOPE.sC('friendly_delegate_2').GetName] have been locked in discussions and found a large degree of common ground.

Relations between the two nations are warming, though whether this will end up being in our interest or not remains to be seen.


 
id

Dialogue with [SCOPE.sC('congress_target').GetName]


Event trigger.png The below description is one of several available for this event.

We owe much to the Etruscans, though they have allowed their ridiculous obsession with federal autonomy to weaken their position. They could be useful against the northern barbarians or Carthaginian colonies.

The time is now, the past is past, we must decide what to propose to the [SCOPE.sC('congress_target').GetAdjective] delegates.


 
id

Feudatories Anxious


[SCOPE.sC('subject_target').GetAdjective] envoys who represent our Italic feudatories claim they are insulted at being excluded from the congress and hearing that [SCOPE.sC('subject_target_2').GetName] was offered status akin to their own.

They worry their privileges are being cheapened, and want to ensure their status is not altered or forgotten.


 
id

The [SCOPE.sC('rm_allies_1').GetAdjective]-[SCOPE.sC('rm_allies_2').GetAdjective] Alliance


The delegates of [SCOPE.sC('rm_allies_1').GetName] have been locked in private negotiations with those of [SCOPE.sC('rm_allies_2').GetName], scarcely being seen in days.

There may be a way to disrupt their happy union, though it won't be easy.


 
id

News of the Congress


Event trigger.png The below description is one of several available for this event.

The delegates from across Italia have been welcomed with a grand banquet in the Roman capital, and given use of lavish lodgings belonging to prominent senators.

It seems most invited countries have taken part in the event, bolstering the pride of an already snooty people. We will soon find out if it was worth our time.


 
id

Congress Concludes


The pan-Italic congress is finally over and it will certainly have far reaching consequences for the future, or so [ROOT.GetCountry.GetRulerTitle] [ROOT.GetCountry.GetRuler.GetPraenomen] claims in [ROOT.GetCountry.GetRuler.GetHerHis] concluding speech...

In truth it will be hard to judge until many years have passed. Let us hope they will be kind to [ROOT.GetCountry.GetName].


 
id

Friendly Delegates


We have received news from our envoys at the Pan-Italic congress.

[SCOPE.Custom('rm_1_friendly_delegates_scopes')] delegates have been particularly forthcoming in their warmth to [ROOT.GetCountry.GetName]; they seek our friendship and see our interests aligning along common purposes.

We should expect better relations in future as a result.


 
id

Word from Rome


Event trigger.png The below description is one of several available for this event.

The Romans organized a congress to build ties between the Italic peoples, but kept us out of the talks.

Now we hear they have granted feudatory status to [SCOPE.sC( 'subject_target_2').GetName], and many are anxious about how this will affect our own status. A combined delegation was dispatched to Rome to ensure they do not forget their closest friends.

Today they returned, and in quite high spirits. They come bearing gifts from the Romans who wish to reaffirm our great friendship.


 

Destroy Italian Allies task events

id

The Italian Question


The Italic feudatories have been always been a matter of contention, some arguing for their military usefulness, others regarding them as a threat only a stones throw from Roma.

Certain senators are pushing for drastic action; preemptively smashing our Italic allies to pieces. If successful it would ensure our dominance over Italia.


 
id

Rome Attacks Feudatories!


In an unprecedented and sacriligious move, the Romans have declared all pacts and oaths with their Italic allies void, and mobilized their armies to crush every hamlet and fort in Italia not under direct Roman government!

We must meet them with cold steel, and end the barbarous tyranny of these warmongers!


 

Approach Greeks task events

id

Anti-Roman Coalition


The arrogance of the Romans will not be tolerated. They stride around our cities with their 'offers' as though the entire world already belonged to them.

Luckily we have found kindred spirits among other Greek cities who share the same disgust. Let us hope this stays the Romans for the time being at least.


 
id

Anti-Roman Coalition Grows


The arrogance of the Romans continues to grow! Every day more Greeks are persuaded of the real threat; not Carthage, not the Italic tribes, but Roma!

Only by uniting against the common threat can we ensure our motley collection of cities can face up to the Roman threat.


 
id

Freedom


Our overlord backed down under pressure from Rome and has sent word that the treaties between our nations are severed forthwith.

We are free once more!


 
id

[SCOPE.Custom('get_persuade_greeks_title')]


Event trigger.png The below description is one of several available for this event.

Tarentum is a prize, with their wealth of fine ceramics, famous cavalry ability, and valuable harbor - it is easy to see why the Epirotes are so willing to lend a hand in their conflicts...

We must decide how we wish to approach the question of [SCOPE.sC('rm_offer_scope').GetAdjective] cooperation.


 
id

Envoy Arrives from Rome


Event trigger.png The below description is one of several available for this event.

The domineering huff-snuffs of Roma have appeared at the gates of [ROOT.GetCountry.GetCapital.GetName] with an offer. It is in fact more a set of demands. They find our continuing independence an intolerable state of affairs, and demand we pay tribute to the Rome.

Their grave messengers wait impatiently for our response even now...


 
id

Response from [SCOPE.sC('rm_offer_scope').GetName]


Event trigger.png The below description is one of several available for this event.

[SCOPE.sC('rm_offer_scope').GetName] were much affected by our threats, and decided their freedom was not worth war with Rome.

Let us hope this is the beginning of a great cooperation between the [SCOPE.sC('rm_offer_scope').GetAdjective] and Roman people.


 
id

Anti-Roman Coalition


There is growing anti-Roman sentiment among the Greek cities of Italia as a result of our incautious methods of diplomacy.

[SCOPE.sC('greeks_threatened_1').GetName] and [SCOPE.sC('greeks_threatened_2').GetName] have united in their fear of our domineering.


 
id

Stirring the Pot


[SCOPE.sC('persuade_greeks_rebel_1').GetOverlord.GetName] hold sway over [SCOPE.sC('persuade_greeks_rebel_1').GetName], demanding tribute and who knows what else.

They have suffered under the [SCOPE.sC('persuade_greeks_rebel_1') .GetOverlord.GetAdjective] yoke for some time, and may be willing to throw off said yoke with our assistance.


 
id

Greek Coalition Grows


Our diplomatic methods frighten the craven Greeks of Magna Graecia, more of whom are being inducted a coalition they dub, 'The Allies'.

They seem to think they can stop us by banding together - but this aggressive posturing will not be tolerated.


 
id

Roman Interference


The Romans seek to increase their influence across the Italian peninsula, and, recently, our submission to [ROOT.GetCountry.GetOverlord.GetName] has become a hot topic, rumored to be fueled by Roman agents seeking to weaken [ROOT.GetCountry.GetOverlord.GetName] and win our support.

This may be a chance to win our freedom, though the Romans surely have their own motives in all this.


 
id

Roman Interference


We have received a proposal from the Roman senate. They offer to win our freedom from [ROOT.GetCountry.GetOverlord.GetName].

It is clear they serve their own interests, but freedom is a tempting prospect regardless of the risks. If accept, we risk war with our overlords, though Rome promises us their assistance.


 
id

Roman Interference


Event trigger.png The below description is one of several available for this event.

The dastardly Romans, bent on dominance of the Italian peninsula, have approached our Greek subjects, attempting to encourage revolt against our rule.

There is some disaffection among our Greek subjects, though the extent is not yet clear.


 
id

Word from [SCOPE.sC('persuade_greeks_rebel_overlord')​.GetName]


Event trigger.png The below description is one of several available for this event.
The government of [SCOPE.sC('persuade_greeks_rebel_overlord').GetName] has acceded to our threats, and released their Greek subjects!


 
id

Response from [SCOPE.sC('greek_persuaded_scope')​.GetName]


Event trigger.png The below description is one of several available for this event.
[SCOPE.sC('greek_persuaded_scope').GetName] has agreed to back us against [SCOPE.sC('persuade_greeks_rebel_overlord').GetName]. This should make them think twice about fighting us.


 

Adriatic Opportunities task events

id

Response from Ancona


Event trigger.png The below description is one of several available for this event.
The shrewd Hellenes of Ancona have accepted our generous offer, maintaining most of their city's freedoms in exchange for tribute and trade access. If only every city were so open to reason.


 
id

The Port City of Ankon


The Hellenes of Ancona have profited from the Adriatic trade routes for centuries, ferrying Greek goods from the Aegean to Etruscan markets. With our foothold established in Umbria, control of the port of Ancons would provide a base for incursions into Gaul and Illyria.

While prosperous, the Anconians are not powerful and may be receptive to an offer of subjection provided it is framed as protection.


 
id

Rome Offers Protection


Event trigger.png The below description is one of several available for this event.

To all Italiote Greeks, the rise of Rome has caused some concern. Their recent conquests now bring them to our doorstep and it was inevitable this day would come.

A Roman envoy has presented his senate's demands to our council. They propose protecting us in exchange for use of our harbor and free passage through our land, letting us manage our own affairs and trade. How shall we respond to such a generous proposal?


 

Drive Out Gauls task events

id

Exodus from Senonia


The recent Roman conquest of the Gallic Senonian tribe caused a great panic among the population. Many have fled to our lands to begin new lives.

Perhaps we will one day send these families back to their rightful homeland.


 

Italian Colonia events

id

Refounding the Colonia of [SCOPE.sP('roman_colonia').GetName]


We established a place called [SCOPE.sP('roman_colonia').GetName], a township in [SCOPE.sP('roman_colonia').GetState.GetShortName], as a Colonia of Rome, granting its citizens special privileges and attracting settlers to the area.

Strife and conflict wrested the place away from us temporarily, but its people are requesting their old privileges once again be restored now we are firm in control of the town again.


 
id

Colonia Specialization


With the growing importance of the Colonia as bastions of Roman culture and administration, we must decide what sort of cities we want them to be.

Is civic organization the most important objective? Or securing a steady stream of recruits? Is the key to greatness the integration of the conquered? Or encouraging trade and production?


 

Roman Hegemony task events

id

Roman Hegemony


From now on the people of this peninsula will bow to Rome, serving in her armies and paying into the her treasury.

There may be strife in the short term, but the delusions of the conquered will be tempered by realization of the natural order in time. They may prattle on about citizenship - let them! With our new power on the stage of history, Rome has larger things to worry about.


 

Italic Citizenship task events

id

Pan-Italic Citizenship


[ROOT.GetCountry.GetRulerTitle] [ROOT.GetCountry.GetRuler.GetName] has taken it upon [ROOT.GetCountry.GetRuler.GetHerselfHimself] to shoulder the backlash against new laws enshrining the citizenship of all Italics.

The move is unpopular among both the populists who represent the Roman people, and aristocrats who seek to protect their privileges. We pray Rome reap the benefits of an inclusive society without strife...
