Epeiros have taken Italy. I was looking forvard to fight rome in a big war. But this happened. I have never touched romani, i promise. Only a small sea fight. I wanted them to grow big so that i could have a great war against them.
But how to give them back italy? Is there anything i can do?
Either cnquer it or use force_diplomacy to buy all of the cities in Italia and anywhere else you want the Romans to have, and then give it to them as a gift
Ahaha it looks like Epiros made Italy their homeland seing Macedonia has almost all of greece. And the romans migrated north in barbarian terretory hehe nice twist.
In my romani campaign i'm doing the exact oposite you are... taking it easy and waiting to have a BIG war with carthage^_^
but how to use force diplomacy?
you gotta download it first. i believe its in the fixes.
there is an FD minimod out there somewhereQuote:

use the add_money cheat and buy each city of for 100-120k use more fd and process_cq to build walls and stuff thhen gift it back to romans,
i recommend u do it all till u push them epirotes back to taras and that other city south... then move them to sicily and when epirote stacks threaten to attack roman cities move_character them south to sicily until romans can build up new stacks etc...lots of micromanagement but its needed if u want to have any reforms in the game
what do you mean by reforms?

To make it easier:
Quote:
Q: Which factions have reforms, and when do they take place?
A: There are 9 factions which have unique reforms:
Celts (Aedui/Arverni/Casse): 2
Time of Bondsmen

Time of Soldiers
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Saka: 1

Romans: 3
Polybian
The Polybian Reforms happen due to a change in equiptment and tactics that were adopted or adapted due to wars with Carthage and Celts.

Marian
The Marian Reforms mark a shift between citizen soldiers and professional soldiers from any class who are supplied their equiptment by the state. These reforms will occur when you have a large empire with a lack of landed citizens to fill the growing need for soldiers. If at this point there is a man willing to make the changes to the military system, the reforms will take place.

Augustan
If a man with the drive arises in the Republic, willing to overthrow the Senate, give him the chance and these reforms will take place. (These reforms are not inevitable and are based on whether such a character arrises.)

Druhtitīdiz
The reforms for the Sweboz will occur when there is a well established trade system in Germania and the Sweboz have built up a military system in a province with metallurgical resources.

Pahlav: Reformed Government
The Pahlav reform isn't like the other reforms. Pahlav has a "reformed" government building that it buildable in Iran/Persia. Once you build up the infrastructure of the town, you are able to upgrade your nomadic government and reform your control of the region.
Other Reforms:
All other factional reform units are tied to the "March or Time" event (Vanilla Marian Reform) which requires the Romans to build a huge city in central Italy to trigger. This is just an arbitrary time delay.
Wow, you got a pretty amazing AI expansion, really uncommon.
Could you tell what year you're in? I assume you're Qart'Hadast?
You have the best of both worlds, I despise Epieros about as much as I despise Rome, you can conquer Italy, while its in Epeiros' hands.
Forget that FD mess. Cheat you some money, 40000 at a time then bribe the cities from Epeiros, or conquer them, then gift them to the Romans. Leave the Romans alone for about 25 years then war with them.
Ive kept several factions alive this way, or just flat out moved them so they could last longer. I almost always take Syrakousai, and Massila (naval invasions) and gift it to KH in my Mak games, unless I play KH. When I play a Mak campaign, its fun to see what KH does after I kick them out of Greece.
Im always saving AS's ass (blue or yellow death) this way, and sometimes I do it for Lusotannan, when I play Carthage.
Not really. Similar thing happened to me when I was playing as the Qarthadastim back in 0.81. Only in my case I actively interevened to hamper the Epeirotes' expansion (via spies and assassins) but they kicked the Romani out of Roma despite it :wall:Quote:

I try to shape events to tickle my own fancy with force diplomacy. Doesn't always work tho... Some wont give up their provinces for 50 gold :(
Meth, you are like.... AMMMERRRRICA! F**K YEAH! lul!
Methuselah and Mike, your sig pictures need to go. Now.
then you should c what happened to my romani campapaign...
epirote is in pergamon with 4 cities fighting of gray death and black death
carthage is strangled by my blockade for past 2o years
alexandreia and that other city is taken by seleukid
baktria is banished to 2 indian cities
pahlava has been made protectorite with 1 city no army
hayasdan been getting panwed by sauromatae..
exciting game!
way off topic but.. ya
it's every time different. in my sweboz campaign the ptolemaioi conquerd all of the seleukids, baktria, pontos etc. and are invading europe in byzantion.
in my roman campaign Pontos is very strong and conquerd great parts of the seleukid empire, hayasdan and sauromatae ground
Strange things can happen. I've had the Koinon Hellenon succeed more often than the Makedonians. Similarly I've seen the Saka Rauka become modestly successful, and the Arverni overcome the Aedui (rarely). But I'm yet to see Arche Selukeia beat the Ptolemaioi, I think most people agree that's an issue. My Ptolemaioi campaign is more "moderate" in difficulty, after the first 2 big battles it's a piece of cake.
Thats because Epiros totals Makedon's captial in the first round. i usually move_character KH's king from crete, cause he never goes back or takes crete.
