5 to Valerius, 10 to buy 1 influence for Cincinnatus.

I will pay the ransom, and keep the rest in faction cash.

2 remains in Faction cash. Cinc's influence goes up 1 to 6. Total Influence now 19. Republic's Treasury up 10 to 19.

Acilius returns to Rome alive! -- no personal Treasury now of course. With his Influence and Oratory restored, the Plutocrats now have 18 Total Influence and 11 Normal Votes. Faction cash now 3.

It looks like some rules say the costs are 7/11/18 and others say 7/13/18. Personally I think 7/13/18 is the right one, and since I lost a knight I'd need a 2-talent loan instead of 1. Here's my terms for a public agreement: the first faction to loan the Progressives 2 talents this phase will have their loan repaid next Revenue Phase, plus another talent of interest for a total of 3 talents, out of the Progressives' funds. I'll wait until all other factions have declared their expense allocations and go last.

I'll take that.

It's a deal! I take my 11 cash plus II's loan of 2 and Flaminius the Younger holds a Blood Fest in honor of his deceased father. 0 cash left for my Senators or Treasury.

Populists will put 2 to satisfy the ransom, otherwise no changes

Edit: to be clear, the ransom is to be paid with 2 from faction cash and the remainder from his personal funds

I agree, it makes better sense for the second level to be 13. That way there's 7 for the first level, +6 for 2nd level and +7 for the third level. It's more balanced than +4 for the 2nd level.

Well, not yet. That's during the Forum Phase. But I'll make a note to "devote" it for that purpose when the time comes.  O0

I've now made the proper table adjustments, and left a Public Contract notepad next to the Progressives' Faction Cash tracker.

Done! -- Aurelius returns to his family and to his Faction, poorer but perhaps wiser. Normal Vote Tally goes up to 8, Total Influence goes up to 10.

Perhaps some day, Rome will punch back its enemies far enough to give the homeland some living room, with the City of the Republic never to be sacked again!

Tripoli has been out sick all day, but pm'd me that he'll keep all 8 cash in his Faction Treasury.

I will give each of my guys 2, also spend 2 for Camillus to get a knight

^ That finishes out the Revenue Phase's second segment, then.

I'll work on processing the third segment (the Republic's accounting, which is done automatically), and the first round of the Forum Phase (which starts with AzTank this Turn), when I get home from work this afternoon.

The Forum Phase will run in order, clockwise from the Player with the HRAO:

AzTank's Conservatives (already slated to spend Cam's 2 Talents to try for a knight)
Malize' Populists
Erax's Progressives (already slated to spend Flam's 13 Talents on games to honor his father)
I.I. Aristocrats
Tripoli's Militarists
and then (last this time) the Frog's Plutocrats.

Flaminius will roll for a knight with no cash. 1 in 6 is still better than zero! Hopefully you can process my Forum Phase turn automatically when it rolls around.

Rome is looking for someone to lead their legions to teach the Barbarians a lesson?  Unfortunately, I have my small farm to tend to.  And war is such an unpleasant business.  Much better to handle things peacefully.  Good neighbor policy is always best.  But, if Rome decides I must go, I will, of course, faithfully go >:D
