C, because I am always a sucker for underdog stories.

Also I am bad at Imperator and want to see how you succeed.

I mean, it's not like Rome being a republic worked out great for that 'less monarchies or emperors' thing in our world.

Do you mean the darker UI? That's Dark Red UI 2.0 I think


I've also got a few others - Better Map Icons, Historical Imperator pack, Invictus, Enhanced graphics and lighting

Yeah, the UI. Thanks!

We cannot kill the Rome but maybe we can contain the Rome until Rome falls break to its greatest enemy, itself.

Of course! Fighting with Rome has worked for us so far, and this will continue forever.

Would Islam even arise in this altered timeline? Unless we get loving bodied by Rome.

Since we are doing absolutely nothing that would stop it from rising, it's entirely up to author fiat.

Numbers at the start of the Third Punic War:

Carthage army (not including mercenaries): 158,500
Rome army (not including mercenaries): 228,050

Carthage ships: 555
Rome ships: 322

Carthage treasury: 16625
Rome treasury: 1348

Clearly we can solve this problem by throwing money at it.

Now we can control the entire Mediterranean!

Plus, we're eventually going to play as somewhere else, so we ought to build ourselves a nice strong opponent.

We were/are France in the Gaul let's play.

Me watching in horror as, in our quest to not become France, we accidentally become England instead.

There are three options to any goon megacampaign: Become England, Become France, or Become Germany. (or the Secret Fourth Option, which is Become Rome, but, you know, England, France, and Germany are also Rome, so that doesn't reall count.)

Truly he was the most metal of kings.

e: In a thousand years they'll be writing books about how obviously fictionalized this guy's life is. He married a giant shieldmaiden he met when she invaded his country? Unlikely. He kidnapped an imperial heir by accident? Absurd. He sailed a thousand miles to burn down the greatest city in the world out of pure whim? Clearly the people of the time made up some tall tales about their beloved King, but we can't take such musings at face value.

To contrast, I fully expect him to have several video games based on his life and at least two animated series in which he is turned into a cute girl and or handsome man.

But, uh, yeah, that was a thing. gently caress Rome and gently caress Carthage too, I guess.
