In my view, it is not the Revolution of 1789, but the spirit of chivalry." - Dai Sijie Ultimus Romanorum >First, if there is a barbarian army in the area and a roman garrison under siege, how do you calculate the VPs at the end of the turn? Do the Romans get points for having the emperor in the capital? For controlling the capital? Do the Barbarians get points for occupying the capital area? The rules say (for example) "1 PV if the four areas with an imperial capital in the west are controlled by the Roman player" What is important is the area, not the city. When the city is under siege, the area is controlled by the Barbarians >Second, I rolled the event where the population is discontent with the emperors, and Ravenna was one of the cities. I think the event says all imperial units and leaders have to move out and stay out of the capitals for the duration of the turn. Is that right? No, that the opposite, the units are not athaurised to move during the whole turn (as they have to repress the insurrection) >And what about poor Honorius that is under siege in Ravenna then? Is he lynched, or do the populace have enough sense to realize nothing will be better if their garrison is lynched? He can stay in the "besieged" city as long as he doesn't suffer a natural death. The Augustus Occidentalis, accompanied by at least one Roman PA unit and at most one other Roman leader, one PA unit and one BU unit, may take refuge in the town of Ravenna (put the counters in the Ravenna box). They cannot now be attacked. They may leave the Ravenna box and enter the Ravenna area at no PM cost, as long as no Barbarian units are in the area. For adjustments, see the Ravenna case as described in 9.3.2 and 9.3.5; All the other units in the Roman Force must fight normally, and may (independently of the Augustus) use normal evasion as in 8.2.1; If the Augustus Occidentalis dies (assassination or a natural death) while taking refuge in Ravenna, all other leaders and units taking refuge with him are eliminated.
