I’m from Utica and I’ve never heard of the city of lol.

It’s a Carthage possession.

Edit: I forgot about Boi. We should give all of Rome's lands to Boi and let Boi rule the map.

When the game first came out Rome would just sit and do nothing, so they turned the take-over everyone dial WAY up.

With the deifying of their previous kings, and their position in germany, it look's like this Rome is going for the AI backup up of a sort of Holy Roman Empire of sorts.

The Romans still gonna end up in Byzantion, except as this world's version of Varangians.

In a twist, the Greeks will go up to Scandanavia to be special-intelligence style protectors for the Black Roman Emperor. The Black Romans will have the loyaly and fighting down, but won't know how to be sneaky bnackstabbers, thus needing greeks for the job.

The Bush Elephant is the largest elephant, but the North African Forest Elephant (the Carthage one that in real life is extinct) was real small. I'm pretty sure I only know this because of Civ 5.

Wikipedia has this thing, both METAL and insultingly stupid to say:

And that's a good definition of the roman mindset which modern societies inherited IRL.
This game though can end differently, start a massive breeding program and trample the world underfoot!

Even better, turn the ruins of Rome into the elephant breeding grounds.

I think the salt trade was important even in antiquity so maybe a commercial empire centered in North Africa would lead to closer contact through the oasis trade routes or something?

Yeah do this kind of thing. Just a bunch of Mansa Musas with direct trade-contact with Carthage. Maybe their own golden age area with a couple strong united Republics with Carthaginian influences. Also, they have elephants in that area as well...

*boring OTL killjoy voice* I think African Bush Elephants are undomesticable

West Africa get's a dark age from their ill-fated attempts to tame Bush Elephants. Their lands are in ruins.

Also looking at the map Sibera and East Tibet area are in a pretty The Shattering (available for download on the Steam Workshop) as well. Siberia would be easy as they are just a bunch of groups that have had to deal directly with getting beat on by the Huns, and may really hate them for it. Not sure about East Tibet area, maybe a little bit of some china stuff?

Edit: also Horn of Africa. Looking at the last update of Imperator, Axum had a bunch of it, so probably just give them lots of the area.

Maybe West Africa is were the Punic and Abrahamic faiths clash for dominance. The Punic trader realms vs. the Abrahamic kingdoms.

i did consider start as Eretz Sh'hor (those punics in Finland), but it would've taken forever to build a power base strong enough to migrate somewhere else

Why would we have to migrate out of Finland? We'd be in the perfect spot to find the Sampo. (I say this as someone who has played so many Ck games in Finland.)

Yeah, it turns out that unless you have military and social structures that are designed to resist them, naval raiding by vikings is really really hard to stop.

But Rome was the vikings, and we’re the (kind-of) French. We were celebrating Topsy-Turvy day. When do we get our Hunchback King?
