The reasoning behind this thread is 1) I have seen 2 AHC threads here lately and my badluck side is saying to make it 3. 2) Earlier this week I began reading H.G. Wells' The Outline of History, particularly (Chapter? Section?) 5 when he begins to narrate the rise of the Roman Empire. He states at 3 different times either plebeians or legionnaires actually march out of Rome and head up the Tiber River to found a new city due to the patricians "corruptness". And at 3 separate times the patricians placated the "protesters".
What fascinated me the most is that the legionnaires actually set a foundation for the new city. Your challenge is this, you must devise a scenario that leads both a large number of plebeians and legionnaires to actually settle the area. This challenge comes with its own demands, and at these demands I leave you to your own brains to figure them out.
Thank You, and have a nice day :D
EDIT: I just realized that I named this AHC thread "fortified Rome" which has nothing to do with the actual challenge itself. *FacePalm. Please excuse my error.
