    well the Romans weren't the only ones with civil wars. Alot of other factions had civil wars and rebellions and to give only the Romans civil wars would be unfair to the other nations and would make the game too Roman centered.

    Too roman centred?! you are the one bitching about the removal of Augustan troops.

    I think that a few of the major rebellions in the factions represented in the game should be scripted by a few "rebel" armies inside your own borders. It would add a nice and (maybe not)welcome(at the time) challenge to the game.

    Wow, wow, wow. All people can change their opinions, and they should as a matter of fact. We are constantly learning more and more new things, and therefore we must change our points of view accordingly. At first, I voted that the Augustan reforms should not be removed, but now I heartily endorse the removal of them. Almost no one gets to the reforms, they are too late to make much difference and EB is in desperate need of extra unit slots, not to mention that the Romani already have the most units of any faction. In light of such logical arguments, there should be no surprise that an intelligent person might change their opinion. Most Romanophiles experience strong feelings when finding out that the Augustan reforms will be scrapped, and hastily vote, but as they play more EB and spend more time on the forums, they become more moderate. I went down that road, and so did many other people, I am certain of it.

    Besides, even if the Augustan reforms are gone in EB II, someone will make a mod for it anyway(even if that means scrapping some "unimportant" units")

    Add Italian powers as a faction, playable faction, and made them easy to become allied/protectorate under roman rule... They should be capable to simulate a early roman conquest, and later civil war (made the italians hate romans more)

    Exclamation Re: Roman Civil War

    Aside from being too Roman-centered (the words of the day), we must also keep in mind that the SPQR had already conquered any significant indepent Italian powers by EB's starting day.
