    The first screenie the guy was using Parthia, although it looked to me like it was recoloured to be the same as the Saka. In the second screenshot he was using Rome; which is probably why Rome was doing somehting you had never seen before.

    Look to the bottom right of the screen shot and you will see the faction symbol that is being used.

    EDIT: Also keep in mind that the first screen shot was taken in 129BC. Thats a long way into the game. Surely after that many turns a single Naval invasion would have taken place.

    Actually it's not the same color. At the time i didn't have a border with them, and i decided to change my colors, and only after they conquered some lands from baktria i saw that they kinda look similar, but definetly not the same, so i will keep it for a while.

    Also rome doesn't do much on its own. I always give them money, and move their armies around, hoping they would become a superpower as they were in RL. They did however sen reinforcments to greece and africa once they got a foothold.

    I think in the last thread someone posted 70K as his record. You can only get it in certain cities around the Nile or Athens or something.

    Those are kept by a governor with a lot of popgrowth+ traits and - to unrest, etc. I had Rome reach more than 50k on more than a few occasions.
    Funniest thing that when he dies, if you have no one in the city, it usually starts rioting, and then extraordinary numbers of people are killed. You start wondering how one season's riots could have killed more people than your entire Gallic campaign, for example

    Well I think the Nika riots in Constantinople would be a great example of how this might occur.

    it's even more hilarious when a gov dies, and your capital rebels due to the huge number of people and unrest...
