    -why is Caius Aurelius Cotta called "patrician"? The gens Aurelia was plebeian.
    -why is a province called Aemilia in the Boii teritory in 272?
    Cotta being Patrician would be my fault. If he should be Plebeian, I'll have it fixed next time. I'll direct one of our faction advisors this way to check out the other questions.

    Ah! the Generals! they are numerous, but not good for much (especially if they're Languorous)!

    We are somewhat limited by RTW's very simple system for naming and rarely use the entire name. His full name is Gnaeus Cornelius Scipio Asina and so his nomen gentilicum is Cornelius. As the Scipios are part of the Cornelius gens, it is understood that Gnaeus Scipio Asina (sometimes referred to just as Scipio Asina) is a Cornelii.

    Teleklos-ok I understand that-but did you know that the historical Gnaeus Cornelius Scipio Asina was the brother of Lucius Cornelius Scipio (who is in the EB) ? They were the sons of Lucius Cornelius Scipio Barbatus.

    Another bug:
    I play as Romani and in 261 BC Lucius Cornelius Scipio has a son -named Servius Talmudius Scipio. What is "Talmudius"?

    Was this son born into the campaign? Because this is expected. The mod will not follow history to a "t" after the start of the campaign (otherwise it would all be the same)

    I don't understand. The son of Lucius Cornelius Scipio may not have the nomen gentilicum Cornelius? Please explain it to me

    Rome: Total War was not designed to handle Roman names, if you can believe it.
