upgrade the governor building to greatly reduce squalor. if you upgrade one that was a different culture, it will switch to yours and lower the culture penatly as well...

I would do that, problem is as Luso I dont seem to be able to build a huge city upgrade - and most of them are already at huge level.

thanks. i didn't know this.

i think i wil follow what the other guy said, move the capital around and destroy everything! but it seems a shame to ruin so vast an empire after all those billions of dollars of upgrades!

I am only in year 201 BC. playing easy campaign difficult and medium battle diff.

i think having the campaign difficulty on easy might be letting you expand too quickly. most people seem to go with hard...

Hard or very hard campaign (increased A.I. aggressiveness and budget), medium battle.

Normally I don't have any problem with keeping regions happy, but my huge Seleukid Empire in V1.0 struggled against Roman Italys rebellions, needing one full stack to remain in Italy to crush the rebellions one at a time, almost continually.

Who knows. All existing sources on him are biased. He could well have been a visionary leader frustrated in dealing with a belligerent senate after 2 years of dutiful leadership, and then tried to take them on without Augustus' charisma or political guile.

It's not that hard to imagine a frustrated, hot-headed young Caligula yelling at his senate subordinates that they're "so useless my horse could make a better senator!". For wily old senators, this would be easy to manipulate into propaganda.

But as I said before, who knows. Theories abound.
