Is it possible to not be asked to kill ourselves by the Senate?

hmmmmm................perhaps you could send him out in a blaze of glory on a final campaign, slaughtering him on the final battle?

unfortunately i dont know much about RTW text editing.

I think that this is hard coded into the game mechanics.

I'll move you on to the modding forums though, they may be able to do something for you.

This is my favorite tactic. I love sending him out in a BLAZE of glory with the flaming pigs.

On a serious note, I have somehow managed to get rid of the senate missions altogether for the Julii in my mod. Unfortunately, I don't know how I did this, but as soon as I figure it out I'll let you know as this sounds like it is exactly what you are looking to do.

Okay by accident I figured out what it is you must do to remove the senate missions. You must go to RTW/data/desc_sm_factions. In that file you must take whatever roman faction that you do not want to have missions and move it below the roman sentate. For instance, to remove the missions from Julii you could simply move the Julii to the Macedon spot, and place the Macedonians in the Julii's former spot.

Be warned though that once you do this the roman faction that no longer gets senate missions will be lowly regarded by both the senate and the public.
