Dear Senate, why do you hate the Scipii?

[Tamur]

...The time I playe the Scipii, I didn't notice any particular bias by the Senate...

Nor I. I've taken all three Roman factions out to at least 230 BC and the Senate ends up hating them all equally well (badly) by that time. Maybe hatcat can chime in, but simply based on game balance, I can't see one Roman faction being coded in as more hate-able than the others.

However, it's my theory that the Senate used bird entrails, and the Delphic oracle, to know that the stinking Gauls and the pointy Macedonians are both likely to be plague-ridden.

Therefore, we can conclude that the Senate favour the Brutii because they have the cleanly Carthaginians and sterile desert to deal with
