speaking of... why does Rome have to raid the Saban capital? I thought the Romans didn't get past Nabatea.

There was one time the romans landed in southern Arabia and then quickly left. I don't recall the details...Originally Posted by kuroiya88

The Arabs insulted them mercilessly in bad Latin from their fortress walls and lobbed a few cows at them ?
"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

Re: Whoops
Wow. Really? Was it during Trajan? I believe it was under him when Romans conquered Petra and the Rocky Arabia (not sure how that region is called in English, but that is what it is named as in Russian books). Fascinating story you have there.
Re: Whoops
I believe it was under Augustus, when he sent the prefect of Egypt down to modern Yemen in order to explore and/or conquer (details escape my memory). Something about the expedition being purposefully misled by its guide, possibly under payment by the locals.

That should explain the Roman expedition a little.

Re: Whoops
Is it arguable that the Roman provincial system failed in Germany? I mean that they were unable to establish it there, because it simply wasn't a "Type II"-worthy area?
I know allied states were established in Mauretania (just read that in Tacitus' Annales) and along the Syrian frontier up to Armenia which was never anything like a settled province even for the Byzantines. IIRC there were two tiers of rule in Britannia too, with proper Roman colonies in the SoutEast and dependant tribal centres North and West. Likewise Tiberius put in client rulers in Thrace, but of course all that is just after the EB period.
Anyway my dimly remembered classical studies is not any basis to challenge a decision by the team, they have done a very thorough job on this mod.
I guess if I want to really fancy things up to my liking I can shut up and mod it my own way.
