    Hi, First post here, though I've been lurking for a couple of weeks.

    I'm currently in the middle of the civil war as the Julii in my first campaign. I started the war very politely - once I had enough popularity with the people I sent a diplomat to rome and withdrew military access and the senate outlawed me immediately.

    Do the AI factions ever start a civil war? It'd be interesting to defend rome against one of the other families.

    Not likely, sometimes they will be outlawed if you do their mission for them.

    Why does it differ if you have people popularity or not? What does people popuarity profit anyway?

Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire.

    Perhaps public order? If Julii invade Rome they probably won be needing as big garison.

    The game doesn't seem to let you take any aggressive action against the other Roman factions at all unless you have enough popular support.

    Public order in Rome hasn't been a problem for me so far (about 30 years since I took it) - It was so well developed by the time I took it that it had 200% public order even at very high tax rate with a garrison of 4 archer units.

    To actually win do you just need 50 provinces + Rome, or do you have to eliminate the other families too? I'm about 8 provinces short, but the brutii have a vast empire stretching from northern greece right around the black sea, wo wiping them out would be a real pain

    Why don't you just defend from them and capture rebel cities or other factions' cities.

    Nah you do not need to wipe out other families. Just 50 provinces including Rome.

    The war starts for me when I disobey the senate. i.e attacking allies and when the senate says stop, I still continue

    So it effects public order in Rome only?
