Lost my first Eagle today in battle against the Magna Gracia city states. Interesting battle effect, I liked it, and of course I got it back!
Then there I was leading the glorious Republic of Rome having just united Italy when a little known (no family) gentleman decided to run for consul and requested my support. Well of course I looked at this gent and his horrible stats, no power base to speak of, no holding, and I sent him on his way with a firm no.
Well he kept asking for help and I repeatedly refused after all why worry, my governors were loyal as were my generals. Well a few decisions later (provinces losing loyalty) and an election and poof...Civil War! The darn lout got support and but only about a 5th of my provinces joined him, not to bad. the problem was half the army revolted. Now this was unexpected but exciting. The war was challenging to say the least and I lost more than a few brave legions. But in the end the battle was won. It was a good challenge.
