    Default What to do with the Romans?

    If say I want to conquer the whole Italian Peninsula, and I want to "recycle" the Romans, where would be the best place to "migrate" them to?

    Well, if you push them slowly... (capture their city, reinforce it, but let them grow to opposite site... For example, when attacked from the south, in my now running KH campaign, they'll found themself ways to kick Gallic (Aedui's and Avernii's) ass, and then made them as a partially culturalized barbaroi of the north. But when pressed from the north, that goes in my Sweboz camp, they'll just go nuts, and conquer Karthadast... not sure what'll they do when attacked from both side, but at least I can tell, Caralis and Sardinia are their favourite last vacation resorts anyway... (in BI), in Alex, they just try to fight back more fierely on you......

    The best answer in the whole thread. Although I did feel sorry for the Byzantines in 1453.

    Pergamon perhaps... or one of the three islands in the Tirrenian if they ain't in the mood for a long walk...

    Dunno. Depends on the situation and where they decide to "migrate" or rather push towards once you kick them out of their homeland. You can even RP a new Empire of power, with remnants of the Romans of "Romanized" states.

    why don't you simply conquer them??? wipe their faction out and then start using their regional troops...
    and if you pull out of their cities after you have conquered them won't they turn rebel??? you can have those cities as buffer states or raid them every once in a while and take them as slaves ... or you can use force diplomacy and make a protectorate out of them Romani???

    Don't force them to become your Protectorate. This will result in the EEBS script giving you the scripted AI-assisting money instead of the faction.

    Just kill them, man. They dont deserve anything else.


    Oh, yes: and humiliate them: build some "ZOO" with Roman inhabitants and show the world how bad they must be treated. Give some spears to visitors and let them throw these spears in the holes where Romans live. Burn them. Invite Parthians, Gauls, Germans, anyone you like and give them the right to torture, humiliate, kill, burn, sack, beat those wolf-suckers.

    Oh,man... im so excited right now...

    Well if you ask me I would say there are two things you can do:

    1.put them on an Island somewhere in the Mediterranean (Krete, Cyprus, Sardinia or the Balearics) and let them stay there or drive them out of Italia to whereever they go...

    2. Just Kill em... (thats what I do with rival factions, I always destroy a faction if I have the opportunitie for it..)

    Migrate them to te balticum, their FMs(and all others that come with them) would simply freak out in that climate :D or gotland, like Napoleon was exiled on St Helena to think about the vanity of human ambition.
