Faction Drops Dead?

[gardibolt]

I was playing a new game (my first short campaign) as Julii for a couple hours the other day and things were tooling along when I suddenly got a message that I lost because my faction died out. WTF? I had at least 3 family members alive from two different generations in 3 different cities, none of which was under attack. Is there a time limit on this game or something? Or is the AI smart enough to try to assassinate an entire faction at once, and succeed?

Erm? Maybe you lost the short campaign because another faction got 15 provinces and defeated their enemies before you did?

I suppose that could be the case, but in the message advising of my loss it specifically said that all of my family members were dead.

Strange, maybe you should ask in the Colosseum and ask the mods to close this thread.
