I just finished a short campaign as the Julii and took all of Gaul and was hailed a hero or something like that but I never achieved higher than a 7 rating with the Senate or 4-5 with the Plebs (people). I understand the Senate rating because I didn't accomplish half or the tasks asked for but I don't know what the people rating was about. I won all land battles and most of my naval battles. Is there a "time" factor, or "types" of victory ie., heroic, clear, etc that effect this rating? Or are the people just "brain dead" getting more obese watching Springer and Friends and expect the space Shuttle and world conquest normal everyday events....oops, how'd that slip in there
