Rome fails a mission but the tribals are punished

[DesertSnow]

Playing Rome, i was assigned the mission to conquer a province in Gaul. The "reward" is that i will get a core in this province.

The problem: if i fail, the mission text says that the chief of the tribal faction (and not me- Rome) will lose 50 popularity. I avoided completing this mission to test the outcome, and the result was the one described in the mission text.

Obviously, this is not WAD...

Happens with few missions, has been resolved. Thanks.

Just to be sure ...

There aren't missions which provide a popularity decrease of fifty. There's one which gives a -33 popularity upon failing, and grants a core - that is only available to monarchies though, and Rome isn't one.

Did You change into a Dictatorship.

the "-50" popularity: i could be mistaken, but it is definitely a decrease.

government type: yes, i have changed to dictatorship and afterwards to imperium

I am THE IMPERATOR

Ok, i am off to finish off the Egyptians
