Question about the Roman Civil war in EB?

[Dutchhoplite]

The "Social War" could a interesting alternative (besides Pompey/ Ceasar) for a Roman civil war....

Just let those cities revolt ;)

If you are a decent Roman player, it is HARD to get Italy proper to revolt by late game, at least in my experience.

When trying to simulate any of the Roman civil wars I usually disband the garrisons of the settlements in question, destroy a squalor-decreasing structure ( OOC ), wait for them to rebel and then make some legions out of them with the create_unit command.
To supplement these, as they are sure to be bereft of any officers above captains I usually have nurtured some infamous rebel FM´s someplace which I then teleport to the location ( where the battle I wish to represent took place ) together with an upgrade of traits if necessary and some legions.

When I already had a large Makedonian empire in my ongoing campaign, I simulated a Greek uprising. Just set taxes to high, evacuate your governors, and destroy all happiness buildings until you get some 40 - 50% happiness only. They will rebel and spawn some decent units. If you desire, spawn additional appropiate units for them.
