Carthage gives us the ability to one day colonize and become Bolivia, making that conspiracy theory real.

If anyone's interested in the "whys" behind Rome's historical ability to just bury opponents in numbers, this is one of the better explanations I've seen: https://acoup.blog/2021/06/11/collections-the-queens-latin-or-who-were-the-romans-part-i-beginnings-and-legends/

tl;dr Rome stood out from contemporary polities due to its ability to assimilate outsiders: non-Romans could actually become Roman and wanted to.

I wonder if Rome in the game getting some kind of total absorption CB is meant to reflect this, actually.

This and the seemingly cultural uniqueness in absorbing massive amounts of losses and going up for another match is the major reasons for Roman expansion, it's pretty nuts.

Also this is during a time in which the army was still chiefly wealthy individuals that could equip themselves in another show of how insane it is to keep fighting after losing tens of thousands of wealthy people.

Do not let the Romans get any fuckin grasp of stability, constantly kick them while they're down so they won't come back when they get stable again. Yes

Seeing a Christianity that isn't a dominate power but part of an intermingling of a bunch of polytheistic religions is really drat cool esp w the potential for syncretic poo poo going on similar to what we see in real life with saints.

And losing gets you banished into infinite torture until your mind breaks or other terrible things going by summonable units that are previous failed pretenders and what the previous pantokrator did to them.

We may have created the English accidentally but atleast we didn't kill the Romans only to become the Romans.
