Low on family members

Hah!!! Perhaps the trick is to moan about it, they come thick and fast now. As for Brutii and Greeks.......
Just as I begin a little trade with Brutii the silly Greeks get me involved in a war with them. Then the Brutii ignore Greeks and decide to attack me. They bring a huge army nearly 1900 men and outnumber me 2 to 1, the Greeks are noticeable in their absence from this battle.....Cowards!!
Roman pigs, it seems they underestimate as they have no answer to Scythian arrows. Utter carnage as we kill 1864 stinking Romans and lose but 20 of our brave men.
Brutii have suffered such in next few battles and immediately call upon their Roman brethren for help

Either my House has got some extremely good-looking women or their husbands are blind ~D . I'm adopting so many new Roman nobles that I don't know what to do with them now ~:cheers: .

Is that so bad? It is my understanding that when they bring a boyfriend home, you can check him out and send him on his way if he's no good; your daughters will pout for a while and then go on looking for new boyfriends.

I've only just barely started the introductory campaign, but at least the 3 Julii sons of the magnificent Gaius (the guy you start with) are hopeless twats. The first one is sickly and a poor trader, the second one judgmental and the youngest a lazy pervert.

You can also use diplomats to bribe armies containing another faction's family members. If successful, that enemy family member will join your family.

USMCNJ suggested in another thread taking this even further by parking a diplomat right outside each other faction's capital city to bribe the family members as they come out. Wish I had thought of that earlier.

I went bankrupt and started over. It seems like now Gaius got better sons, but they're all gay. They're soon hitting 30, and they're still single.
