Hi Folks,

I've had the same thing but different cause. I triggered the civil war fought for quite a while but was running low on troops and resources so used my diplomats to get ceasefires and then alliances back with the other two factions (playing as julii) I had conqured Rome. The problem I had was once I had a strong enough army to go back and finish the civil war I couldn't trigger it again. I think wiping out the senate with the other two factions still surviving is where I went wrong. Any rate played through into about 25 AD an no matter how many wonders I hold or provinces I can't trigger the war again. Between the rome factions we wiped out everyone bar rebels.

I ended up scrapping all the towns in states surrounding the other factions to give them more rebels to fight and the scipii are down to about 4 provinces and the brutii about 8 but have pretty much reached an impasse. I think I'll have to start again. Considering how long it took to get to that point

So word of warning don't kill the senate and make friends with the other romans. Friends are bad.
