How did you blitzkrieg the Brutii before the civil war started? In my experience, you can't attack the other Romans unless ordered to do so by the Senate or when the Chance for Power happens. Unless somebody knows more, and if you hit a certain popularity with the people, then you can do so. I have been able to do so after a second Chance for Power, I guess; I did not do it in that turn but later in the game I was able to do so, so I guess a Chance for Power does not mean you have to attack in that turn.

As far as that Julii campaign, I am doing better now that I am taking Britain. I was down to -27,000, but that is because Corduba had kicked me out and I did not possess the army capable of retaking it right then. I used that army to take another town, and the rebel stack in Corduba decided to attack some Spanish armies in the area. I created a small army taking units from other cities, and retook Corduba because the main stack had chased a Spanish army too far away to relieve Corduba in one turn, and did not bother to move to assist when I besieged it. Still not doing superb, but doing OK now. Capua kicked the Scipii out, so I took that as well.
It was my first game - and there was something funny as I could not retrain units back to starting levels. But basically once I knew that I was approaching the civil war then I moved my forces into/ close to four Greek Cities - once I was told that I was popular enough with the masses I then attacked and took all 4 of them simultaneously. I was expecting a note from the Senate demanding suicide.
