You can get concessions which are bribes given to you by a consul, you can be bribed by other players to vote X way, you can get funded by fellow faction members, or you can get a share of taxes if you are elected governor. But other than that: no..

Dictator is a 1 turn title that superimposes its authority over the consuls, can't be vetoed, has more influence than any other office and it has better combat bonuses.

The senate decides if an army is needed, then it decides where it needs to go, and then it decides who will lead it. Once the task is completed the commander has to return the troops back to the senate and loses his title of commander.

Consuls
"2 senate phases" in other words 1 turn.
The dictator if there is one, if there is no dictator then the consuls propose the new consuls. This is the chain of command: 1.- Dictator (If there is one) 2.- Roman Consul [Example: Darth] 3.- Field Consul [Example: Ghost] 4.- Censor 5.- Master of the horse 6.- Pontifex Maximus 7.- Senator

1. What is the role of Master of the horse and Pontifex Maximus? 2. Can the term of the consul be little longer? Maybe 4 or 5 turns? Since one turn last like a year. 3. Also, maybe if a dictator is proposed and voted, then he can have unlimited term until senators propose and vote to take his power away (promotion-demotion). 4. We need to establish naval superiority & control before moving in our legions right? That mean we cannot land in Africa and invade Carthage before we destroy their navy?

The MoH is the dictators right hand and bodyguard, while the Pontifex Maximus is a honorary title.
No, if the title lasts longer it would be impossible for other people to hold office.
Dictators can be re-elected if the requirements to have a dictator are meet. Senators can't propose a vote unless they use a tribune "card". Its impossible to vote a dictator out because they have veto power and dictatorial proposals can't be vetoed.
Correct, you need to destroy Carthage's navy before invading Carthage

Maybe then we need to change rules a bit: instead '3 turns inactive and game's over' make it '3 turns inactive and your enemy takes one of your region' (closest to him) ? It is not nice to see game end before we see the result of our policies, investment and deals/connections. We need more time! Beside this is our first Forum Game, we can establish rules now so when we start new one we will have easier gameplay.

I actually changed it to 4 Active wars. The thing that is making you guys lose right now is that pirates have +1 unrest every turn, while your consuls have 0 popularity, allowed unrest to go up to [2/9], and waited until wars got activated which increase unrest for another +2. In other words, you guys have 2 unrest, and it will increase to 5 at the end of the turn. Then +4 next turn.... which will result in [9/9] = game over.

There is no limit in the number of legions/fleets a commander can command. But Rome can't build more than 24 each.

If you don't command enough legions for a battle, you will either die or suffer a defeat. If you win battles you get popularity and some legions may become veterans loyal to you
