Investigation of Senate missions

[itsgottabeworthatry]

I used to get only Triarii, Warhounds and Triremes as reward units. But in my latest Brutii campaign however, I am usually rewarded with mercs. The most common have been Sarmatians, Barbarian cavalry, Balearic slingers and, for some reason, those eyptian Javelin mercs. I have never before gotten any of these except Barabarian cavalry.

The faster you complete missions, the more the senate likes you. This translates into offices and attribute bonuses for family members.

Typically the Senate starts by asking you to blockade ports. Once those are done, you graduate to conquering cities. If you aren't ready for the tougher jobs, simply "unblockade" the port immediately after the Senate rewards you. Leave your fleet close by because soon they'll ask you to blockade it again. In this way you can ping pong between a few easy goals and rack up your popularity.

And don't forget you can blockade ports using ground units.

I play like a very loyal son of Rome, and it seems that I am falling slighlty behind Brutii and Scipii. Is there a chance that Brutii or Scipii will rebel against the Senate ealier than me? Will I be able to fight together with Senate against them? What happens after Senate and I get rid of them?

Good question, but never got that far :(

It seems when you fall from the senate's favor the missions get harder and there starts to be punishments...Like "your secret will be revealed" O NO!!

Although I dont know what that means, its funny to piss them off.
