I have been outlawed by the senate for not complying with their demand for my faction leader to comit suicide.

Should I have accepted this request? It was either the next turn or the one prior that my leader died of natural causes. i'll have to check.

I was earninng about 8,000 to 10,000 dinari each turn, which was all spent by the next by the AI, Now I'm outlawed I have lost all corruption payments which has me screwed? can anyone help?

Do I pull back most of my armies from my Northern and eastern frontiers and attack Rome now?

I currently have all of Spain, France, N. Italy, 75% of Germania, 5 or 6 provinces east of Italy all the way to the next coast line and all of N.Africa bar 2 small provinces.

They will ask every single turn until your whole family is dead and your faction thus under the direct control of the Senate.

You are so powerful they fear you. This is the civil war, it's what you've been building towards. Crush the fools and claim your prize as Imperator of Rome!

Protect The Republic At All Cost!!!
Don't March To Rome, And Don't Kill Your Leader, Wait Till Something Happens (an Attack By Another Roman Faction) And Then You'll Have A Reason For Marching To Rome.

BOSWELL. I see your money problem. Your capital is at the edge of the empire I assume. From the sounds of it if you moved your capital to marbo martius or somewhere near there you will probably be raking in the dough. This will greatly reduce that negative corruption income as corruption gets worse the further your capital is. So the more provinces you can have near your capital the more money you will make

I attacked rome after a couple of victorious battles with Brutii, they attacked me. This was while I mustered an Army back towards Rome, took a while as they were all in the north, east or in north Africa. Money problem is now sorted as I have over 50,000 dinari extra each turn coming in. It was a great battle, I was attacked by an equal in size SPQR army on my way to Rome, won that with small loses, amy went down to 950 or so, then while I had Rome under siege they attacked, one army was 1,500+ and the other about 350.
Managed to destroy the smaller force first as the larger army decided to just use veletites so I kept them at bay with my heavy cavelry. It was close for a while, but as they say the rest was History.

How long do I have to keep rome, or do i now need to have 50 provinces under my control, have 34 at the mo?

I had this same sequence last night. But, I was already building my Rome Attack army and was only a few turns away from the SPQR capital. So, when the suicide request and then outlawing came about it only took a few turns to build siege engines and eliminate SPQR. Brutii fell after a few more turns and now Scipii is begging for mercy in North Africa.

It'll be over soon.

Rome will attack you when you seige it, this causes a sally and means that you can win that battle and not have to play out the seige :)

I didn't know that. Next game I'll not waste my time building siege engines. Just go up knock on their door and wait for them to come out and play.
