Hi All ,
am playing as romani and am at 179bc with 71 provinces and approx
65 adult male family members. have just checked the criteria for the
marian reforms and am really struggling with the popularis trait. I have
one solitary family member with that trait and there is no way he will be
consul and is also langerous! also all of my consuls / ex consuls have
been optimas, opposite to popularis!
Is there a preset criteria to becoming popularis? do they have to start life
as a pleb? help please as i'd like to reform on time if poss.

cheers,

Optio Figulus.
