Im just curious to know if anyone who has played a reasonably long campaign game can tell me whether or not the Romans show any signs of thinking about some kind of conquest some day, if theres nothing better to do?

They're irritating me right now for sure. I'm allied (as Epeiros) with them and all they have done for thirty years is keep three stacks around rome itself and never even try to take one of those barb cities in the north of the peninsula. They're rebel cities for goodness' sake. And the Romans have enough men to do it - but they aren't even trying. Not once. They don't keep troops on my border to the south either - so they aren't too worried about me attacking it seems.
When i was playing as Gatai they kicked my but.
They kicked so hard that i stoped in Asia minor at Halicarnassos. Quite long way from home.
By 220BC they where strongest faction.
So yea they can be a monster, but also sometimes they dont do much.

I have seen a few examples like that, where they did expand, but why in the world do they just sit there so much of the time? I think this is the more common occurrence. I don't want them to expand like crazy, but maybe taking one province in thirty years would be enough for me to not worry about it.![]()
In my Carthaginian campaign the romani have nearly conquered all of greece so far and all of illyria. This is after i had rampaged their southern towns, exterminating everything south of rome and destroying all buildings. Its only 217 bc but the romans and their triple gold chevron triarii are monsters. Also, i'm playing on VH/VH, might have something to do with it.
Wine is a bit different, as I am sure even kids will like it.

Oh, some encouraging responses there. It seems they do sometimes bother their arses to go ahead and take some land. Perhaps their just miserable because their late Triarii look so horrible. lol
