The question you need to ask yourself is thus: If a Diplomat from another Roman faction showed up on your doorstep, cap in hand, seeking your assistance against foreign invasion, what would you say? I'm just as likely to let the barbs wipe out the other faction, I can then deal with the barbs and gain former Roman lands without the grief of civil war.

The AI is meant to be a challenge, in its own slightly mentally challenged way, together the three Roman factions could easily clean up the map. Just ignore senate missions you do not like,...the world won't come crashing down. I only accept the missions that give me a positive gain and definitely ignore ones that will cost me troops (war) or money (war, again).

Cheers.
