Caesar3 Augustus Ultimate Handbook

noticed your look of disappointment when I told you that one of Caesar's measures of success is a Peace rating. Your family's long history of military genius is well known in Rome. Your father and grandfather both have triumphal arches on the Via Sacra, but you won't find any lavish monuments to capable governors there. How can you attain comparable glory, when your concerns revolve around such everyday things as roads and granaries?

You have chosen a career as a governor, not a general, so you will not embark on campaigns of conquest. Only the Emperor can make foreign policy. If you tried to order your legions into action outside your province, Caesar would consider that an act of civil war – if your centurions would even obey such an order. You have no authority to start wars.

However, Caesar knows only too well that you cannot avoid conflict entirely . Sometimes, your duty to protect your citizens from violence might require you to command legions of soldiers to defend your province. Your authority to defend yourself is quite broad.

You have some control over your level of military involvement when Caesar lets you choose assignments. Usually, you are offered a “more dangerous” or a “more peaceful” province. If you want to follow in your forebears' martial footsteps, choose the more dangerous option.
