Roman: Scipii

I've just recently conquered Cathrage, the heart and capital of the annoying Carthgenians. But when I look at the city details, I was, in fact, shocked. The population growth rate is freaking 8.5%!! Even though I exterminated the original population when I first arrived, I soon have a pouplation of 10,000 in no time! AND the public order is dropping like shiznits because there's simply too much people and the squalors (the little mice thingy) are increasing like crazy!!!! What should I do?!?!?!?

build sewers/baths
then turn up the tax level
if it gets too bad then move all your soldiers out of the city and turn the taxes up to very high
then wait for it to revolt then you can take the city again and exterminate

Right now I'm the Scipii and it's 230 BC and the Marius reform hasn't taken place yet! Why is that? When I was Brutii and Julii the reform started like at 245 BC or something...(confused major)

Reforms shouldn't take place until you have an Imperial Palace on mainland Italy and the year is after 220BC.

in the 1.2 patch
in previous patches (1.0 and 1.1) you just need an imperial palace anywhere

i think they should have more reforms like they did in history they just didnt suddenly reform they had a few small reforms and on big one that should be included in the game .

Marian reforms kicked in 214BC for me.

I've faced elephants in Sicily and in Carthage. The hard part is having a AI General in an elephant unit waiting for you in the town center. I took out Carthage and their last province was in Palma. Carthage is gone but Numidia is a thorn on my side. I can't wait to fight Egpyt. Not sure right now though. I might go up to Spain first.
