I am posting exactly the same question in a number of forums, but these are different mods:
EB 1.31c (RTW1-ALEX)
EB 2.3 (MTW2-KINGDOMS)
RS 3.1 (RTW1-ALEX)
MY RESUME
I am not trying to impress anyone. I just want you know where I am at and what I know.
(1) I have never played the stock game.
(2) I have been playing the DMR 9.01.
(3) I have won the long campaign as Julii hard/hard
I have watched lots of history documentaries and college lectures regarding the period as a result of wanting to understand the period better.
OBSERVATION
The Romans did not simply conquer through killing/enslaving every last member of an enemy faction. Sometimes, they did like Carthage. But for other times, they engaged factions militarily giving them the option "We can do this the easy way or the hard way." They did this with Britannia and Germannia, but failed mainly due to bad governance. (But it might have worked.)
QUESTION
Is it possible to add a faction to The Empire without taking every province by battling every army and laying siege to every settlement? Is there build path of buildings for a single province which will turn a faction into a client state? I have spoken to Saul Tyre (my expert on mods, but he doesn't really play The Romans). So, is this possible? (he believes it is) And if so, what are the mechanics?
Thank you.
