TTHHEE MMIILLIITTAARRYY AADDVVIISSOORR
Appearance: Red-uniformed soldier. He is in charge of
the various Cohorts that patrol your province. Through him, you can control all
aspects of the army except for the creation and control of individual Cohorts.
The Military Advisor has the following commands:
· Inspect Cohorts  The window at the top of the screen displays a
variety of information about one of your Cohorts. The legion number
at the very top of the screen is determined by which province you cur-
rently control. Below that you will see the fluttering banner of one of
your Cohorts battle standards. To the right of the standard, you should
see the current orders of the unit, its morale, and its composition in
Centuries of Regulars, Irregulars and Auxiliaries. Use the arrow buttons
further to the right to step through the different Cohorts you control.
The very large numbers in the center of the screen tell you the total
number of regular, irregular and auxiliary Centuries in your entire
Legion. The numbers in brackets are the amounts you had last year,so
you can see if your army is growing or shrinking. Note: Some of your
Centuries may be en route to join a unit, and as such would not currently
appear in any Cohort (see below).
· Mobilize/demobilize Cohorts  Your army has the same number of
soldiers in it, regardless of how many Cohorts you have. So if you find
to assist you. To deal with any one of these men, just click directly on him. A
screen with his reports and commands will then appear. Each of the six advisors
capabilities are described in detail below.

ruler in general. The Political Advisor has the following commands:

name, and the Change Name panel will appear; either click on the up

ters) can be moved by either using the left and right arrow keys, or by
clicking the mouse on one of the letters. Simple text editing can be
done with the Backspace and Delete keys. Click anywhere with the right
button to exit the panel.
· View your location in the Empire  Select the button next to the
name of the province you rule, and the Political advisor will display a
map of the Empire. The standard facing you stands above your current
province, and standards facing away represent provinces you have previ-
ously ruled. Click with the right mouse button to exit the screen.
· View your political standing  Your current title (starting with
Decurian) is displayed on this screen. Clicking on the button next to this
title brings up a panel with the minimum ratings needed to be promoted
to the next highest title. Click with the right mouse button to exit the
panel.
· View your Imperial Favor  Your Imperial Favor is the measure of
how you are viewed by the Emperor; it is a numerical rating that increas-
es as you rise in political status. This rating increases when you have
been promoted, and when you are currently successful.

two arrow buttons. Click on the button next to your salary, then use the
arrow buttons to raise or lower your salary. Right-click to confirm the
change.

years is displayed on this panel. If your city is desperately short on
funds, you may want to transfer some of those savings back into the

the arrow buttons to set the amount you wish to transfer. Right-clicking
