Strange? Try this:

I am playing as the Julii (H/H). I have taken western and central Europe , and I'm on about 48 provinces. The Bruti have four provinces in Illyria, the Scipiones have Sicily and Africa west of Cyrenaica.

I am at 10 popular approval, and about 4 or 5 with the Senate; I get the message saying "the people wouldn't mind if you marched on Rome". So, I attack the Bruti in Illyria as a prelude to taking out Rome.

The Senate outlaws me. It also outlaws the Bruti (who have done nothing in 50 years save get attacked by me) and the Scipiones (who have demolished Rome's enemies then stopped at the border of their allies), and gives me two missions: attack the Bruti or be outlawed, and attack the Scipiones or be outlawed. I have -1 turns remaining to achieve these.

So: I am apparently Romulus reborn, despotically trying to become dictator over the the people who love me; anathema to the Senate, and its last best hope to put down the traitorous other familes and foil their evil plots to get attacked while peacefully minding their own business.

I like to role-play things, but I've lost the plot of this one. I'm half expecting to get "attack the Julii or be oulawed" as a mission

Cheers,
