I heard that at a certain year you can recruit Julius Caesar from Rome, then the way to get him into family is win a couple heroic victories...then to set him as heir...only way...i heard

anyway is this true and if so what year in auc will he pop up

You can't recruit him. A general with the name Julius Caesar might appear in your campaign, because the names are effectively random, so someone might get Caius Julius as a name.

Then you will like this - which is something of a preview for my next Testing Thread AAR update....

He was a little bit older than I would have liked for one of my eligible offspring, but something said I should allow 'Vibius Iulius Caesar' to marry - and indeed it was the main family.

He has worked out quite well (it's way before the genuine birth of the 'Caius Iulius Caeser' we all know) and had a good enough Loyalty rating to be considered for command. He has now raised the standard of the X Gemina, because he just had to!

And yes, I've now made him the Heir too.

So, in a few more years I am sue he will become Faction Leader. Now, we just hope he's not too old to have a few children......

in the future is there a way to make the script "pop" these people during the right year, dont know about rome as much as i thought because i thought these people with well known names were real romans during the right years like sextus maximus and his lineage....then ive had certain people like marcus manucius rufus i thought that was the right year too like 580 auc, then i just spotted Coriolanus yesterday its 590 auc

to make it short is there a way to change it so the real people will show up during the right years

I've had a Cincinnatus(Commander of the Praetorians), a Caius Martius Coriolanus and a Sextus Pompeius Magnus(so close!).

It can be done but i honestly think it wont be done..
The game objective isn't to represent the historical development of the roman empire but to put the player in a "what if" situation, where his own choices will determine the growth of the empire
The generals like ceasar, pompeo, sertorio, appeared in a determinate situation that you are not going to reproduce in your game
The only historical characters represented in the game are the ones alive in the real beginning
If you want to play with cesar i reccomend you the rs2 2.1 submod demise of the repulic but unfortunately it is available only for alex exe

Why not role-playing as you control only one general in every battle he joined, the other generals would be ruled by luck. That's way your general will seek a chance to improve himself, gain more power, and be the consul of republic, even later arrange for his own sons become national leader!

There was a historical mod with all historical figures a while back, think It's dead now though.
