Finally some peace and damn quiet. Rome is as turbulent on the home front as it is at war it seems. Hopefully no major enemies come to take advantage of this at a later date.
Ouch! A civil war with that large nation is guaranteed to hurt. And to hurt badly...
That was very good update to show how the senate lives and changes, how the amount of senators change and how it affects who becomes a ruler after things happen one way or another. There were very different rulers during that decade and it will be interesting to see who will join the rebels and who will remain loyal to the original government.
Very informative post. Have been playing Suebi in basic rome.
Think I need to read the manuel.:huh:
Civil War, woof. Hopefully you can keep the other factions in line, the Mercantile faction would be a bad one to lose.
I usually prefer the Civics or the Mercantile faction, except when I need the Military one. You made an interesting post out of a peaceful time. Now on to civil war!

You're in for quite the ride. The events that give the rebels extra armies tend to make sure it gets rather drawn out a lot once you have an empire worth naming 'empire'. I'll be here, enjoying the spectacle!
Ah, civil wars, they keep things interesting even when one is big. Dealing with barbarian invasions at the same time is always fun.
Time to put the Populares where they belong.
Times are certainly eventful in the Republic. This civil war and the continued barbarian incursions are like a bleeding sore: not fatal, not by a long shot, but certainly sapping a lot of strength. Looking forward to a speedy resolution so that Rome can continue its rightful march to ever expanding greatness. And continued persecution of the Populists, of course - low-life uppity rabble, the lot of them.
Very interesting AAR, loki. Subscribed.
Good grief, the Seleucids have a massive army? Then, judging by that map, Parthia and Egypt must be absolutely terrifying...
I wonder how many troops the rebels get assigned by the game. I know there are dangers going off only a simple political map, but right now you seem to have reasserted your dominance - all provinces under your control, all tax revenue flowing to you: it's hard to see how even an infusion of fresh rebel legions is going to give them much of a chance. Unless, of course, your manpower is still so low that you can't afford any losses (while your opponents get free replacements). Anyway, looking forward to stage two of the civil war.
Interesting.. Seleucids fighting back against the Nomads with success.. The western provinces of course more valuable and more useful but still Parthia should be quite a blob to beat... That civil war was solved very nicely before it managed to spread any further, it's a pain in the butt to fight against white dots when they're everywhere
Also congrats, I just noticed that despite starting your AAR a month later than I started my own you've overtaken me in both views and replies But a bloody good story you have here so that is not a miracle, and anyways this isn't a competition
