This is a guide you will follow to train all new recruits for the PG.
(Only Optio+ will receive this Guide)
Praetorian Guard Training:
MAKE SURE THEY’RE EQUIPPED BEFORE STARTING!
ALRIGHT AUXILLA, WELCOME TO TRAINING.
I'LL BE FIRST TEACHING YOU OUR SIX STANDARDS YOU'RE EXPECTED TO BE THE EPITOME OF; SILENCE DUTY LOYALTY AND RESPECT DISCIPLINE SKILL AND FINALLY, MATURITY.
----- FIRST, I WILL EXPLAIN WHAT SILENCE MEANS TO US, SILENCE IS A BIG ROLE IN THE
PRAETORIAN GUARD.
YOU WILL NOT SPEAK UNLESS SPOKEN TOO, AND WHEN SPOKEN TO YOU WILL REPLY WITH "YES (OR NO) RANK".
YOU MAY ONLY SPEAK WHEN YOU'RE ASKING A QUESTION, IN THAT CASE YOU'LL ONLY SAY THE PERSON'S RANK ONCE.
YOU WILL ANSWER ONLY TO THE PREFECT, EMPRESS, AND EMPEROR, NO ONE ELSE.
I HOPE YOU UNDERSTOOD WHAT IT MEANS TO BE SILENT, MOVING ON.
----- DUTY, OUR DUTY IS OBVIOUS, WE ARE TO PROTECT THE EMPEROR AND HIS FAMILY, INCLUDES THE EMPRESS.
WE ALSO PROTECT HIS THRONE, AND HIS IDEALS.
PART OF FULFILLING OUR DUTY IS IMMUNITY TO ALL LAWS, THIS MEANS YOU ARE INDEED "ABOVE-THE-LAW".
ANYONE CAUGHT ABUSING THIS PRIVILEGE WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE PG AT ONCE, AND EVEN FURTHER DISCIPLINARY ACTION WILL TAKE PLACE, DEPENDING ON YOUR ABUSE.
THIS IS OUR DUTY, REMEMBER IT ALWAYS.
----- LOYALTY AND RESPECT, THIS IS A SELF-EXPLANATORY STANDARD.
YOU WILL REMAIN LOYAL TO; THE EMPEROR, THE EMPRESS, YOUR PREFECT, AND THE PG.
YOU WILL BE RESPECTFUL TOWARDS ALL SUPERIORS AS WELL.
BEING LOYAL AND RESPECTFUL WHEN YOU CAN, CAN BOOST CHANCES AT BEING A GOOD PRAETORIAN. ----- DISCIPLINE, BEING DISCIPLINED IS SOMETHING THAT COMES NATURAL TO A TRUE PRAETORIAN GUARD MEMBER.
WE ARE DISCIPLINED INTO BEING THE FINEST AVAILABLE TO THE EMPEROR, WE WILL BE 100% OBEDIENT TO THOSE IN CHARGE OF US.
AND WE WILL BE DISCIPLINED WHEN WE FAIL.
THIS YOU MUST ALWAYS KNOW.
SKILL, MEMBERS OF OUR GUARD MUST BE SKILLED IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE.
WE'RE TASKED WITH ONE OF THE, IF NOT MOST IMPORTANT TASKS OF ALL OF ROME!
AND THAT IS TO PROTECT OUR EMPEROR, EVEN IF OUR LIVES ARE AT RISK.
WE MUST BE SKILLED IN COMBAT, STRATEGY, FORMATIONS, ETC... WE HAVE NO USES FOR WEAKNESSES INSIDE OUR GUARD.
WILL YOU TRAIN TO ACQUIRE THE NECESSARY SKILL TO PROTECT OUR EMPEROR?
----- FINALLY, MATURITY. WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE AN APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF MATURITY AND SERIOUSNESS ALWAYS, INCLUDING ON DISCORD.
ANYONE CAUGHT BEING FOOLISH ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASIONS WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE PRAETORIAN GUARD.
WE ARE TO DEFEND THE HIGHEST-RANKING PERSONS IN ALL OF ROME! WE HAVEN'T ANY NEED FOR GOOFBALLS IN OUR GUARD!
----- NOW, TAKE NOTES ON THE STANDARDS, YOU’LL NEED TO REMEMBER THEM; SILENCE DUTY LOYALTY AND RESPECT DISCIPLINE SKILL MATURITY REPEAT THEM BACK TO ME NOW.
(If they fail list and ask again, and remember to tell them to take notes)
----- NOW, YOU'RE TO LEARN SOME BASIC FORMATIONS RIGHT NOW THAT WILL HELP YOU BENEFIT OVERALL. FIRST OFF, WE HAVE A "CANNAE".
THERE ARE MULTIPLE CANNAE’S AVAILABLE TO USE, FOR AN EXAMPLE, A TWO PERSON CANNAE IS WHERE ONE PERSON STANDS IN FRONT OF THE PROTECTED AND THE OTHER BEHIND IT IN A GUARDING STANCE.
FOR A THREE PERSON CANNAE, YOU'D MAKE A TRIANGLE, FOUR PEOPLE CANNAE YOU'D MAKE A SQUARE, ETC...
----- NOW, LET'S GET ONTO YOUR GUARDING STANCE.
RAISE YOUR SHIELD BY PRESSING "Q" ONCE.
NOW, PRESS "R" THREE TIMES.
THIS IS YOUR GUARDING STANCE.
TO MAKE THIS GUARDING STANCE INTO A FIGHTING STANCE YOU'LL RAISE YOUR SWORD.
WHEN PROTECTING, YOU WILL ALWAYS USE THE GUARDING STANCE, AND SOMETIMES FIGHTING STANCE DEPENDING ON THE SCENARIO. ----- NOW, KILL ZONE OR RADIUS.
A KZ OR RADIUS IS A CERTAIN AREA IN WHICH NO ONE UN################NTER WHEN PROTECTING SOMEONE.
SENATORS+ MAY ENTER THE RADIUS TO BE WITH THE PROTECTED, ONLY OTHER TIMES IS WHEN THE EMPEROR OR PROTECTED GIVES PERMISSION FROM HIS/HERSELF.
FOR AN EXAMPLE, SAY I WAS PROTECTING THE EMPEROR, AND THE KZ OR RADIUS IS 20 STUDS.
WHEN SOMEONE REACHES CLOSE TO THE EDGE OF THE RADIUS YOU WILL DRAW YOUR SWORD WHILE ALREADY BEING IN THE GUARDING STANCE AS REQUIRED.
WHEN THEY BACK FROM THE EDGE OF THE RADIUS YOU WILL GO INTO REGULAR GUARDING STANCE. ---
-- LET'S PRACTICE.
SAY I AM A FOREIGNER.
(Practice walking him through the stances and when to raise shield/stance, don't forget to correct along the way)
NOW, SAY I AM A SENATOR.
(Walk into the radius and explain he doesn't have to raise sword if he did, because Senator+)
----- GOOD, NOW COMBAT TRAINING.
(Spar until they beat you 5 times) THAT WAS THE END OF TRAINING, WELCOME TO THE PRAETORIAN GUARD.
