Just look into Rome\events\civilwar.txt. IIRC when somebody revolts, he automatically gets few neighbouring provinces AND leaders. This mean - if you want to eventually crush general, put him in least dangerous area.

If you want to prevent him from revolting, disband his loyal cohors. It will cost you some money, but prevent loyalty from falling

BTW, one of the things usually skipped is prestige of ruler. If your ruler has over 50 prestige, country won't revolt

Thanks! I won't send my biggest army to guard that rebellious guy ever again. I will banish him to some sad, empty and poor place.

I assume by prestige you mean his popularity, gained from battles (well, winning them), this national idea I considered useless and omens. Well, now I know what those are for.

Are there any vassalisation options/opportunities in the game? Peace terms seem to extend only to releasing cores, money, or handing over provinces, nor can I seem to find any diplomatic options for anything outside of alliances.

 

[delra]

Tribute is basically what you call vassalisation. But I can't find any option for diplo-annexation of your vassals. Maybe there just isn't one?

 

[DaPacemDomine]

I thought tribute only extended to a regular monetary payment? It seems odd to have no vassalisation options, particularly where the Romans were made great only when they started to cultivate client kingdoms.

 

[unmerged(51416)]

True. But it might be only demo, I'll start complaining if I see it in full game

 

[Seelensturm]

No diplomatic annexation. Tribute reduces alliance options for the client to ally with the overlord, but provides no direct protection from other countries.

Someone said that when I trade resources (like iron) to another province, it gains the bonus of that resource. That does not work for me.

Trading iron from Etruria to Roma: No effect in Roma. No heavy infantry buildable.
Trading wood from ??? to Etruria: No archers buildable, only recruitable as mercenaries.

Is this a confirmed bug or is this feature disabled in the demo?

You have to wait one month. Ressources are checked on the first of the month.

Trade routes take 30 days to activate.

Is there a way of autocasting omens? I keep forgetting to cast the population one (the most useful one I believe)...

Religious prestige boosts the chances of a successful Omen.

Fastest way to boost civilization? In one of the times I managed to get the demo to run, I had a barbarian super stack of 40+ units running around (I think several uprisings merged before they got to me) and it took a couple provinces. Unfortunately they happened to be my border provinces with high civilization, and so it stopped me from colonizing entirely. They managed to knock a city from 60 or 70 civ down to 15 in a couple days, but it doesn't seem to rebound at all. Is there a way to get it back?

And advisors- they need to spawn faster. I had taken about 7 carthaginian provinces, colonized ~5 more, and taken out 2 frankish barbarian tribes. By the end when I stopped playing, most of my provinces were being governed by finesse 2 or 3 guys, and my advisor pool was nearly empty. I'm not sure if there are in game mechanisims to make them spawn faster, but if there isn't the rate needs to be boosted.

Trading with high civilisation province should boost it..

Yes civilisation spreads from adjecent provinces and provinecs you trade with.

Religious prestige boosts the chances of a successful Omen.

He was asking if there's a way to have omens automaticly be invoked every year, not how to improve their chances. AFAIK there is not.

There was an earlier question on what religious prestige did that I answered.

Mine probably. King please say you're planning autocast for omens thing just like you did autosending merchants for EU3.

Not at this time.

A few questions:
1. When traveling to a nearby island (ie corsica), The army pathfinder realizes that a ship in the water can be used as a bridge. But when it boards the ship, it stops and I have to manually unload to the island. Works as intended or bug?
2. I still have no clue why I would want characters to have wealth. Can someone explain?
3. I see that corruptness and traits of characters affect governer performance. But I do not see any indication that the finesse level (or charisma) affects anything. I assumed there would be a tax multiplier or something. Am I missing something?
4. Same question for ruler. I do not see any indication that the ruler's attributes (finesse, charisma, marshal) affect anything.
5. Anything wrong with placing a high finesse individual with low loyalty to an open research slot?

Thanks a lot!
