This weekend's Let's Play Brutii and Germania episodes will be right on schedule!

A trick : watch series at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.

@Samuel Neil Yea, have been watching on flixzone} for since november myself :D

For real

The different roman schools even welcomed Greek philosophers at some point, too, after a while though, the Romans just started telling all Greeks to go fuck themselves.

@@gigicestone4902 Probably got tired of their shit Senators: "Alright gentlemen, how can we reduce the national debt?" Philosophers: "If we have debt but no one can see it, does it really exist tho?"

@@allium2718 Roman Senators:.... Stop it. Just stop it.

@@gigicestone4902 which is understandable

Were they bribed generals?

Yes. At one campaign, I killed my competitor a lot up to the point every senate is my faction. Julii

I've never think on that 🤯

Maybe so, but then you might not have as good a target for diplomacy

It might be an interesting challenge to try to win the game without triggering a civil war! Keep assassinating allied generals so they lose the war maybe, and keep giving money to the enemies bordering the other roman factions, giving away excess land to keep civil war risk lower.

Nice info

any mod to fix that for rome remastered?@@insch.9547

You have to stagger out conquests more and not miss missions.

The senate is probably threatened by you conquering so much so quickly. I think this can affect positions you get

A lot of times, I’ve noticed that if the Scipii attack Syracuse in the first five turns and lose that battle, their campaign never seems to recover. They spend the rest of time in futility trying to conquer the rest of Sicily and never even land in Africa by the time the Roman civil war starts. The Julii and Brutii never face this problem. Even in a slow campaign start for them, they’ll have at least 20 settlements by the time the civil war starts.

so what happens when u take rome? is there an easier way to win the civil war or just conquer whatever they have? have only played the game twice so far :)@@BlueMatona

"I am the senate!"- Socrates

me too. I assasinate my competitor

That only happens when the Senate hates you

is that rome remastered as well or just original rome?

Ty for watching it!

One thing I know is that you can demand money from the other Roman factions with your Diplomats. This pays out pretty well & often!

​@@josephzanes7334 I got a good tactic. Basically you tell your enemy not to attack you, and then threaten to attack them if they refuse!

I definitely plan on doing some other games. If you see some of my earlier videos I had a bit of civ5 and tropico 5 in there but my computer doesnt have the best processing power so its tough for me to record many games and play them at the same time without it lagging a ton. I will always have rome: total war content on this channel though, it's my favorite game for sure

@@BlueMatona In just 9 monts. You reach 2k subs! I know you can do it. Wish you all the best

Never thought to use money that way! I'm trying to play a loyal to the Senate Scipii game. Thanks for the strategy.

The 2nd son of my first faction leader is 74, while his cousin leads the faction, and will probably die first. I once had a diplomat reaching 73 too

My Faction leader of Julii lived until 94 years old! He took all the senate positions and died peacefully in Segesta.

I had a Seleucid leader live til like 102 and no one matched him lol

Popularity in senate highly depends on your popularuty with the people. If your family members happened to gain a lot of traits/retinues that improve popularity with the people almost all of such traits/retinues also has a background of lowering your popularity in senate.

@@MachinegunnerMugZ Also if you expand in cities without the senates bad opinion lowers their opinion. its like "yeah hes doing what we tell them but Im pretty sure its not for us its for his empire". just ask the senate what they think of a faction. Itll let you know when the line is drawn with that faction. the more they hate the enemy the less they hate you if you march in.

Ah shoot true. I just added that in as a card at 3:19

@@BlueMatona great video btw, I've never really looked to the senate, so this is really interesting 🙂

This is a late game type of missions which pops up if you have a high level of popularity with people and low popularity in senate and for some reason refuse to start a civil war.

Use assassins against senators to increase your chances of beeing elected :)

Good idea, thanks :)

@@TheBeastsHere Senate missions are only a small number of actions that can improve your family member(fm) chances to be elected to a senate office. There are also a lot of other little things to do to get a useful traits and retinues. If your most influential fm is a governor, make sure to set tax rate to very high, build law temples, academies and train military units in a city he rules. The one interesting way to gain a useful political trait for the governor is to construct an arena in a city and never arrange games. Make sure you don't have more than 50k denarii left at the end of each turn. If your most influential fm is a faction leader every diplomacy success, even bribery, improves his political traits, so does successful assassinations/sabotage and spying attemts. You also receive a useful political trait for your faction leader after destroying an enemy faction. If your most influential fm is an army general, you have a high chance of receiving military tribune retinue and true roman trait after killing many enemy soldiers in a battle with your general unit and a 100% chance of getting good political trait after capturing a wonder.

Members get selected based on the number of Influence or the number of olive leaf crowns your generals have.

You need to get the True Roman Trait and the Roman Authoritarian Trait. those can help

The thing is senators can be elected to a same office more than once, so you need to use assassins to improve your family members(fm) chances.

Billy Hatzi But kinda influential and of Symbolic value so it’s ok i guess

Pontifex Maximus was significant, maybe not bigger than Consul, but the advantage is that the Pontifex Maximus position is for life, whereas Consuls had term limits. In particular Julius Caeser was Pontifex Maximus and he used his religious authority to influence some political movements: check out Historia Civilis' video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hMlzp8yJkrzZh3U.html

@@Qladstone Great stuff. I've gone through them. About the station though; Is it a fairly useful political asset? You bet. Is it the top dog position? Not remotely so.

hellhound l no

Maybe letting another faction take Rome and then you can reconquer it

@@TakumaKunTakuma-San15-9 oh my GOD that would be some political maneuvering.
