Fall of Rome
The Commands
You should already be familiar with the General Rules (a separate document that explains
major concepts of the game) before tackling The Commands.
Introduction
Here we will briefly discuss and tell you how you may issue each of the sixty-some
commands in Fall of Rome. The commands will be listed by category: Military,
Political, Covert, Economic, and Miscellaneous. Command menus are accessible by
right clicking on your asset – character, legion or PC in either the operational view (map
icon on the top menu bar) or the tactical view (magnifying class icon on top menu bar).
Each character can carry out one “sole order” per turn. Sole orders do not include
transfers, but include virtually every other command. Characters must be in Good health
to execute commands (exception: the High Priestess may be Weary and still issue
commands).
Submitting and Canceling Commands. Your commands are automatically submitted to
the proper Enlightened Age Entertainment Server each time you enter a command: you
do not “save” or “submit” your commands. You can see the list of commands you have
currently ordered by reviewing “The Plan” – it is the left most button on the top menu
bar. The plan lists all your commands in the order they will be executed, i.e., in the
Sequence of Events. You may cancel any command either by clicking on it in The Plan
and then choosing “Cancel”, or by right clicking on the asset icon itself and select
“Cancel” for the order you wish to cancel, such as “Cancel Move Order”. Additionally,
when you allow the mouse cursor to hover over one of your assets, a tool tips panel will
inform you of any commands already issued to that asset.
Military Commands
Military Commands.
This section details with all commands acting on your
legions, brigades, and leaders. It consists of four sections: battles, leader commands,
legion movement, and transfers.
Earliest in the Sequence of Events are Battles.
Recruiting mercenary brigades and training leaders occurs prior to movement of any
kind. Transfers between legions or between a legion and a controlled PC are possible
both before and after movement. Right click on your legion icon to access the legion
command menu.
Legion Details. Clicking on this choice does not issue a command to your legion; rather
it provides important information about the legion: a roster of the brigades within it,
together with each brigade’s morale, experience, speed, strength, and a summary of these
for the legion as a whole. It will also list all leaders within the legion, their rank and
health status and any commands the legion has already received. If you have intelligence
on enemy legions, you may access their information details here as well. This screen is
also available by clicking on the “Your Forces” button on the top menu bar.
