The Senate.

Sometimes I'm too late as well, but most of the time I succeed. My "compliance ration" ist something like 7:3.

Speaking of the Senate... I'm in my first game now, and I've been trying to placate them as best I can and have a decent record of completing missions. Now they hate me anyway (presumably because I've gotten to powerful), and has just demanded my faction leader's suicide or I would be outlawed.

Just browsing the manual I found no good expalnation on the concept of being outlawed. Does that mean I will come in a state of war with SPQR and the other factions?

in short: yes

it's inevitable if you want to win.

As I just found out...

Not really being prepared for the civil war, I decided to take no bullying from the Senate (after all, the People loves me!) after all, so I plunged into a war with SPQR and the other factions (I'm the Julii). So far I've taken two Brutii cities in Greece, killed the Brutii heir in battle and won two out of three major battles (lost one to the Scipii in Libya getting caught with a detachment there).

I'm, kinda overstretched in the Brutii neighbourhood in Asia Minor (I hold Pergamum, Nicomedia, Ankyra and Tarsus) so I wonder if I can keep on to Tarsus... I have superioriry in Greece by now (4/7 cities), pretty even in Italy (but I keep bringing reinforcements in) and and even match in N.Africa with the Scipii.

I have a couple of armies stuck in Egypt (Scipii territory), but I think I can break though

Will the meter showing the peoples love for me be directly proportional to the loyalty rating I'll have in Rome when I conquer it? So if the people totally love me, I can conquer Rome and not have to flatten the place because of unrest.
