How to Get Love?

[The Ronin]

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

The Ronin, if it was a short campaign you only had 15 provinces, correct? You need around 25-30 for the Plebs to go crazy about you, I think.

interestingly I was able to get that and the senate still liked me... But I guess when the Senate had only me as a major Roman military power capable of accomplishing their goals it kind of worked out well...

The only other alternatives were the hated Scipii with their rock bottom popularity with the Plabs and Senators, or the Julii who never seemed to want to leave their home provinces.
