    If you replace the fire from the top of the Lighthouse of Alexandria with Julianus Vatinius' bald head, the light could be seen from Rome.

      Burly brilliant bald boiis wanted for the empire!! Mercenaries will be allowed!
      The glint of a bald head will continue to send shivers down the spines of the aristocracy of roman vassals and enemies for generations , and will serve as a memory of The True Roman bellowing at his honor guard to shoot down a hill while the rest of roman infantry jeered at their helpless ancestors.
      The streets of Rome would look up to the model of a bald confident man in royal toga with a aquiline nose and a piercing gaze as the epitome of roman way of life and thinking.

      The Senate controls nothing. They recline in their studios with their attendants catering to their whims, dictating policies across Rome as if they know what happens in the streets, as if they care.
      What has the Senate done for us? What lands have the Senate claimed? What roads have the Senate built? What farms? What mines? What trade route does the Senate protect?
      House Brutus has conquered Greece. They have taken the lands of Thrace. They have given us access to the silks and spices of the nations of Asia! They have walked into the desert and taken it in the name of Rome! House Scipio has squandered themselves in the Western wastes of Africa. House Julius has done nothing but squash barbarians!
      The Brutii are truer Romans than the Senate, than both the other houses combined! In honor of Aulus Augustus, LONG LIVE JULIANUS VATINIUS, may he take down the bastard Senate and establish an Imperium!

      actually roman women were actually the head of the household (basically being in charge when at home which might explain why the men were so willing to go out to war or a governing position for a couple of years without their wives) women could also get an education, own businesses and buy and sell land independently of their husbands, and in Christian Rome and Constantinople {pre-fall of the empire] they had even more freedom. (don't believe feminist lies that women in the west were always oppressed cause they weren't) and we know from letters and stuff that even if they didn't hold official power they had just as much political power as their husbands

      @@LolavsUmmmm… I believe you said women were "NOT ALLOWED ... to fight, be soldiers" BUT! (and there is always a BIG BUT) women managing the household and raising the next generation is somehow oppressive and serving in an army during wartime is not. As to women not having "control over their marriage", marriages were most often arraigned between the parents of both spouses, while they were babies or young children, for political, financial or other reasons. "LOVE" was not part of the equation, and nether the male nor female spouse had much say in it. Roman women could not possess the GRAVITAS to hold office. In a traditional marriage men and women DO work together. Now let's talk about oppression. The rich may oppress the poor, the powerful may oppress the impotent, the strong may oppress the weak, the freeman may oppress the slave, the noble may oppress the serf, boss may oppress the worker, the adult may oppress the child, the popular may oppress the unpopular, the majority may oppress the minority etcetera infinitum regardless of gender. What makes gender so special? Let's see, did I leave anything out? ...oh yes, it was impolite of you to call me an idiot.

The only real commotion was when 2 land owners tried to cut the line to kiss Julianus feet. They had heard rumors that kissing his feet would heal the crops. They were eventually put in the proper place, did kiss the feet, and the crops were healed. After a brief speech to his, the final line of which was "There still remains armies wanting a whupping, but tonight, eat drink, and be merry" continued on the subreddit.

    Jon, you want to hold the "allies" of the Brutii when you DON'T betray them but you don't build the tier 5 walls on Patavium and Carthage..

    I wouldn't mind seeing Jon try his hand with the Carthaginians. For one, they have the worst archers in the game. In so far as not having a single unit that uses a bow and arrow.

    Jon, how do you control squalor in your game? Anytime I make it up to 15 provinces, half my cites are on low tax rate and still rioting, and a plague ends up ruining my best army forming cities

    • @mistahsusan2650
      @mistahsusan2650 7 років тому

      build things that reduce squalor: baths, aqua ducts, etc.
      try not to build anything that would be unnecessary to help reduce squalor.
      if the populous is close to revolting, build up an army, leave the city, let it fall, retake the city and exterminate/enslave the city.
