Roman civil war (?)

**Aneximanes** · 05-19-2009, 13:18

Hi there.

First of all I would like to say how much adore this mod. (Alot!

)

I've been playing it for some time, and been checking this forum aswell.

But now I have a little question; I would like to create some sort of civil war in my Romani campaign. However I cant create it as I did with other factions for the reason that they dont share their MIC with another faction. Now my question is: Is it easy to edit some files (and wich files) in order make the Romani MIC available to, for example, the KH?

Cheers,

Anex.

Not really. My advice would be: Take out some faction (like the Casse or Saba), and modify them into a whole new faction, identical to the Romaioi. That's what I did with the Casse, turning them into a Makedonian shadow-faction. Oh yes, and you'll require BI for this to work

Macedonian Civil War? When did such a one happen Maion?

Erhm, I don't know. Maybe when Megas Alexandros died? I don't know... But if you mean after that, there were occassions. Antigonos Gonatas' father Demetrios grabbed the rule of Makedonia from Kassandros, who was given Makedonia when Megas Alexandros' Empire broke apart.

I'm sorry, but are you trying to tell me that if (any) nation would become wealthy and powerful that nobody would try to rebel from the Empire? I'm sorry but that's just plain stupid...

Pretty much any faction can have its own civil war when it is big and rich enough. Greedy men will always try to rule. This is my the EB team wont have any civil war with any faction, because it could happen to any of them, and they don't want to favor one over the other.

Yes I see.

But it is fairly easy to have a 'civil war' as other nations, just give a nation with the same MIC culture the settlements you want, rename them and voila you have an opponent.

With the romani, on the other hand, this is impossible. So I was wondering if there was a way to make the romani MIC's available to other nations.

Nope, I was asking out of interest, for to my mind Macedonia seems to have been spared the destructive civil wars that wracked the late Res Publica Romana, Ptolomaic Egypt and Arche Seleuka.

That's true, but that was only because they were so vulrenable. Being threatened all the time ensures your subjects are glued to the central authority (in this case the Basileus), which in turn ensures there are no attempts to a civil war of any kind.
