Hi everyone, first post!

Enslaving really needs to stop when your few core cities grow very large. After that, it just leads to excess population which, in turn, leads to squalor. If you exterminate, you take steps to keep the (potentially) rebellious natives under control, and net yourself more denari.

And don't build farm improvements unless you absolutely need. Why? Farms increase growth, which leads to more people, who increase squalor to uncontrollable levels... well, you get the idea

Exterminate (once cities too large) against anyone EXCEPT other romans. They don't care who rules them.
