I am playing as Scipii on H/H. I started a short campaign and got beat by the Egyptians. The game gave me the option to convert to a long campaign, which I did.
Now I have 50 settlements. Before I captured my 49th city, I did a big logistics program and built up about 6 full stacks of high grade military between Capua and Rome. I also pre-positioned 4 other armies where they can immediately sieze 2 Julii and 2 Brutii settlemnts if (when) civil war breaks out. I was expecting the Senate to call for the suicide of my faction leader when I captured the 50th city; but when I did... silence.
So, 2 questions:
1.) What do I need to do to get the Senate to initiate civil war?
2.) Like I said, I have a force of about 120 units near Rome, under the command of the Faction Leader, Faction Heir and 3 other generals (one stack has no general). The units are roughly equally divided between Legionary Cohorts, Archer Auxilia and Legionary Cavalry, with a sprinking of regular and heavy Onagers. Everything (even the archers) are gold sword / gold shield / and at least 2 bronze chevrons. Rome has 2-1/2 stacks (about 50 units) of mixed quality troops. The Senate and the masses seem to like my faction. If the Senate will not initiate civil war, is there anything else I should be thinking about before attacking Rome?
Thanks for the help!
