Hi there
Since the EE is coming out, its sparked my interest during this particular period of Roman history.
I have a few requests and questions.
Firstly, who was the good person among all of the four Roman leaders?
Secondly, is there any good sources on Marc Antony/Cleopatra/Lepdius and Octavious? I'd like to know books, online sources, anything worth of good solid info
Thirdly, the EE seems to represent the factions inaccurately, I don't believe each Roman faction in the game would have all different colours. Most likely they would have been the same units as Ceaser's troops were!
Fourthly, can anyone find me a map of Rome during the 2nd Triumvirate? A city plan perhaps? I'd most appreciate that.
Fifthly, before I start doing much, I want to know the backgrounds,since I am writing a novel, which view point would it be most likely to go too? Octavian, Marc Antony, or would I have to study Ceaser first?
Sixthly, was Cleopatra the most powerful queen and did she have an good military?
Seventh, what type of Society did Rome have at this time?
Eighth, this was based on the Roman Republic isn't it? Did this event give birth to the Roman Empire? Any good books on Republic Rome? Life/society/Marius reforms?
