well on my campaign i have only seen one preatorian legion wich was definitely a problem to get past, i lost 2 of my named legions tackling with it.

However in my game they made arretium their capital and that is where i found the preatorian legion.

So i think rome should definitely be lost. I havent tested it several times like dani, but going off her results i think we can safely presume that losing italy is probably a must, and would make the game ideally difficult, and would definitely hit the difficulty sweet spot if you ask me, i will look more closer into it was i have finally destroyed the rebellion, as it would seem no one has got too far into the rebellion, hopefully will be able to post some information on it tomorrow for you guys.


And good i think the advice thing is really a good idea and a good way to get round the events hope it works out, it will definitely be a good feature for both rebellions, as players may want to know, but also it is still realistic as the senate/people of rome would know of this unrest before a full scale rebellion takes place.
