Strange Senate Bounty

[belac]

I had a strange experience as the Scipii last night. I was absolutely working out the Carths - land and sea. Met all of my Senate obligations and was working towards Carthage. I laid seige to the city and the next turn - I received a notification from the Senate. I basically said "The Senate appreciates all of you contributions, etc...Please accept this reward/bounty for your service to the Republic." I checked my income/report and didn't notice any increase in funds. No office appointments either.

Anyone had this experience before? It was completely independent of completing a mission - just a little somethin' somethin' to let me know the Senate loves me.

I've had that every once in a while. It's always been a small monetary grant, so it's easy to miss.

One annoying thing ive noticed when i played with the scipii, senate ask me to take syracuse when i siege the town they tell its not needed anymore 10 years later same thing happend when they asked me to siege thapsus heh..wtf is up with that, btw my main goal was to only do what the senate asked me to

Never had that happen before - always been completed unless another faction captured the target.

I'm not sure what's happening to your campaign - possible alliance struck with the target?

Well at least they are not giving one blessed unit of mercenary cavalry marching across half of Asia to take a city (Artaxata) that Parthia wants badly. I know Parthia is always a beggar in Vanilla RTW but a large stack of their forces against a half stack of mine far from any friendly city is threatening enough given also that the Greek - as in almost all games - have entrenched themselves very well in Asia Minor. The Senate and people rating are perfectly poised at around seven so there should be no hatred from the Conscript Fathers.

I always love when you're playing as the blue family and you're working on killing carthage and numidia so all your forces are in africa. Then the senate, for no logical reason, asks you to conquer thermon... from the greeks... who you are not at war with and receiving good trade income from... all because the green family is too much of a panzy to take one city. And if you decide to take a chunk of your army away, thus weakening your hold on africa, and attacking and capturing the city, which by now for me is far away from my capital which was moved into carthage to bring down the corruption factor in africa, that it is a piece of crap territory. Even if I give it away, it revolts a turn or so later back into my hands and continues this cycle until the green family can finally garrison it to the max.

or of course when you're playing as the red family and youve conquered the gaulic provinces near italy and out of nowhere they say "blockade londinium"... in 5 turns... so Im supposed to take my 2 ship navy, travel around the iberian peninsula and up the western part of gaul just so you can look favorably on me and not give me any reward whatsoever?
