outlawed within 15 years

[Ldvs]

I have not added any mods, (not even unlocked the locked factions). Now that you mentioned it, maybe my faction's leader got many ancillaries, I can't remember what though. He won numerous battles so I guess he gained the "legendary commander" and "great vanquisher" traits. I didn't check the corruption level either, but given that my territories were close enough from one another I doubt it could have caused such troubles.

Anyway, despite my leader might have had ancillaries aplenty, my popularity among the plebs was at the bottom of the scale. Thus I was no great threat for the Senate and so were the two other families.

Errr.....i may sound like a noob by asking this, but how do you get outlawed, and what happens if you do?

You get outlawed either when you attack one of the other Roman families, or you become too much a big threat for the Senate. Your alliances are broken and you must fight the Roman families. I generally manage to get a cease-fire with the Scipii or Julii but the Brutii are too stubborn.

[Mikeus Caesar]

Hmmmm....so in other words, you would start a civil war?

[Ldvs]

Exactly, it starts a civil war, because the Senate asks you to attack the other families although you're already outlawed... Even though you wouldn't accept the mission, you're set to "enemy".

[Mikeus Caesar]

Oh well. Shit happens. And anyway, it wouldn't matter if they set me to enemy, because they have a puny army. And i go on the Rome custom battle once a day, so that i can practise taking rome, and thus get ready for the campaign.
