Something intersting I noticed in descr_strat.txt

Notice how all factions have those relations in both ways.
Faction A to faction B and faction B to faction A.

But same thing is missing for senate?!

Does it affect real game in any way?
I don't know.

Although slaves have 600 (at war) with senate, at start of the game senate is not in war with slaves, while still having other roman factions as allies.

I know if proper lines are added...

faction_relationships	romans_senate,		100		romans_julii
faction_relationships	romans_senate,		100		romans_brutii
faction_relationships	romans_senate,		100		romans_scipii
faction_relationships	romans_senate,		600		slave

...that senate will be at war with slaves at start.

But, still even with original setting they get into war after some rebels pop up around Rome so I still don't know what's the deal with this, and how these "missing lines" affect imperial campaign.

Maybe it is made so in order to avoid that the senate conqueres new (rebel) regions?

I doubt. SPQR eventually does get into war with rebels (when they pop out).
And then they don't hunt other provinces.


P.S.
But could not setting relations in two ways have some other hidden consequences?

Of course it has. It means that (in this case) that the chance of rebels attacking SPQ is higher than SPQR attacking rebels.

But does't that depend from faction core attitudes?
