West or East? (Roman SI Poll)
🕑 Added 2025-06-14 07:57:13 +0000 UTCShould Basil go and take Constantine with him campaigning to the east? Or should he let Constantine instead stay with Gregory Taronites and learn campaigning under him?
If Constantine goes east, he will gain experience in fighting the Fatimids and Emirates, plush e can go and influence the events there (Saving Bourtzes or Dalassenos, establishing earlier connections for a future Eastern campaign, and we continue to learn under Basil but the Balkan campaign continues as history happened)
Or he stays here, in the West, saving Gregory Taronites from getting killed by Samuel, and finish the Bulgarian Conquest way earlier (and have moments of hype and aura)

Stay east and prepare for campaign to conquer Rome. Empire must be united again.

Because we will be under the tutelage of both Taronites and Ouranos, staying west will literally have us finish the Bulgarian conquests far earlier. Like literally, Ouranos nearly killed Samuel fr fr.

Stay in the West, continue to innovate. Making a goat foot lever and the corresponding crossbows would do wonder in combating nomadic horsemen as we learned later on. I also imagine Basil and his Generals would enjoy how easy it is to work with, it helps there is an earlier Roman crossbow that is around too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RIPKMZbDZU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP-oQJBGT9k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77VIRo_GeaQ
