    Oh no, wrath of the heaven!!! Imperator Procopius Flavius is dead! He dies because of a plague in Constantinople... All is lost... Next campaign will be the fearsome hunnic hordes.

    Not a great roman campaign, all in all.

    Well, it's too bad, but that's the risk to let one of your main characters stationed in a city like Constantinople where too much people often cause a plague. It's my own fault.

    But I stop playing the huns campaign. After I conquered the Armenian kingdom and pushed the Goths back I got a little bit bored. And I don't like that you never have money.

    Now I'm playing the Western Roman Empire campaign. And again I have a question. Why have some characters like Claudius Mamertinus still their BI-Addon profiles with traits like BlackBileHumour 3? I understand that Roman characters shouldn't be too strong, but instead shouldn't they have traits like Epicurean, ExpensiveTastes, Embezzler, etc.? Wouldn't this be a little more historical?

    By this time the roman empire was very corrupt.

    I am Antoninus!

    "Your attention to good character and stability has earned you your standing as Antoninus Pius. Your long and moderate reign is probably one of the most peaceful epics in human history up to the modern age. It is too bad more emperors did not share your humility.

    You Scored as Marcus Aurelius
    Your attention to duty even when the going gets rough has earned you the identity of Marcus Aurelius. A philosopher-emperor, he used Stoic musings to steel his resolve against a hard lot in life. You know few years of peace, and believe the only final answer to the empire's problems is a complete conquest of Europe. Despite this, you are probably one of the most human and thoughtful emperors in the history of mankind. Hail Caesar!

    Now, let us pretend I am a good father.

    I did it again and I scored Marcus Aurelius this time, next to Hadrian and Trajan.
    I have found another one (There is a Julianus option!)
    http://www.selectsmart.com/FREE/sele...=romanemperors
    In this one I get Constantinus (100%). The second one Hadrianus (96%) and the third Augustus (86%)
    I think my idea of a state religion, sharing the control of the empire, maybe a national monotheism, and tolerance was trully influential in the result.
    I have not done this one yet:

    After many months of on and off play with my Procopius campaign, I've finally captured Ctesiphon and slayed about 7 Sassanid generals/family members without any CTDs.

    Wow, that's pretty cool. I got Vespasian 100% on first try, followed by Aurelianus with 85% and Marcus Aurelius with 79%.

    361 Valens VH/M. Steamrolled the Greek usurper and I'm currently on turn 100 about to eliminate the Sassanids.

    The Quadi are wreaking havoc on my Western brethren but all I can do is watch in despair due to the war with the Sassanid. Rome has been sacked.

    Doing well with the Sassanids even the eastern front is going to capture some cities.

    before this I played with Procopius (I destroyed Valens and was pushing the Quadi out of the Blakans + I was invading Arabia) but my save file disapeared.
    Maybe my little brother took revenge?! (now I understand those emperors who let their family get killed (I will do that test)
    Edit: the three test combined: Tiberius: Domitianus and Marcus Aurelius..
