Romani Starting Position

[Wolfshart]

Ok, what if Makedonia lands in Italy? What do you do when the AI refuses to act historically? What if Makedonia asks for an Alliance and the Ptolomaoi prosecte a vicious war against you?

Do you ignore the masters of Egypt and, in a very unRoman way, persecute the Highlanders?

I see what you're saying but I don't see how it can possibly work in EB.

I agree that sometimes the AI really screws things up for us that want to play historically. It usually takes playing power broker i.e. bribing settlements/armies and gifting/disbanding. It can be a pain but sometimes you just have to force the hand of the AI. It does take you out of the immersive play (but not always as Rome was a power broker in their own right) just for a minute till you get everyone back to where they need to be. It takes a lot of patience but that’s part of the challenge. I may work on an AAR up that follows history as close as possible with exact dates/actions and such...that is what I'm looking forward to.
