disloyalty

Is this for Cicero? It'd be a pity to see the current version of Exemption for Nobility disappear so quickly...If I may add a comment: I can't see why the proposed change to that law should producerather than loyalty in governors - unless you're proposing that all provincial governors must be peasants.Or, for that matter, reduced army maintenance (reducing taxes shouldn't reduce expenses), unless the quid pro quo is that the nobles man some of the army for free. Perhaps you want a different name and rationale for that law, if those are the effects you want?Another comment (or perhaps confession): I always seem to take Anti-Piracy edict, for no better reason than pirates annoy me! Probably a hangover from my first try of Pompey, before pirates were balanced. I took the Seleucids, beat up Maurya from the start, won the war in less than two years. I then unexpectedly suffered more manpower losses than I had in the entire war. Just sailing the army home, faced with endless "human waves" of pirates launching suicide attacks. Took me two attempts and almost another two years (repairs etc) to sail the troops home. At last I know why Alexander preferred to suicide his own army in the desert. He wasn't game to face the Persian Gulf pirate hordes...Great design idea though, most laws coming in threes like that. Simplifies balancing and clarifies understanding. Choose your poison!
