The proconsul has great dreams for his country...this must succeed! He orders those faithful few to continue to press onwards in their efforts...

Determiant: Exploitation-Grear Task: Hard (-1) Modifiers: Mountanous Terrain (-1) Flooding (0?) Hopefully things have calmed somewhat now that the flooding has receeded. + The Proconsul will richly reward those miners who have stayed, promising new titles of nobility to those who manage to get this project to work. + The Proconsul will temporarily focus a large portion of the explotation efforts on the coastal areas instead, building roads, mills and other projects there where the mountainous terrain does not have as much effect.

Results so far: +2 -1 -1 -1 +2 + (-1 -1 -1 0) + (0 -1 +1 0) + (+1 +1 +1 0) + ( ) ( )

Action 4: Picking up the peices

Determinant: Consent Task: Hard (?) The Proconsul will have new homes built for those who had lost them before. +The machinations for rebuilding things were already there in the strategic action. - Those machinations had not been going very well on the mountainous end. +While there has been failure in efforts to find new gold mines, failure gives experience...he has those who have worked at putting roads and such together in the mountains get to work in the plains instead which is much easier. +This is an opportunity to build things better than they ever have been before! Now the towns can be planned, the roads widened, sewers installed, drains and ditches put in to make sure this doesn't happen again!

Result: +3 –1 +2 + (-1 +1 –1 –1) = +2 Complete success.

Suggestion: The coastal settlements are slowly rebuilt. People gradually move back home. Morale of the populous improves
